Strengths: Is durable and fairly good with survival skills. Being a dwarf means he's better suited to certain hostile environments. He's fairly persuasive if he needs to be. He has a good deal of raw strength, and combat knowledge.
Weaknesses: Can be callous and blunt with his dialogue, but he's trying to fix that. He doesn't enjoy the feeling of insulting people and is trying to learn to be calmer in social settings to help prevent that. While he has a fair deal of intelligence, it's not something he prides himself on. He's not very away of acute details, and he's not very nimble because of his stature.

He values a good sense of humor, seeing it as a good social skill. He also feels that honoring tradition is important, but understands that we need to move forward as people.

Languages: The Common Tongue, and Horgaahn. Nuvan believes that the ancient dwarven tongue should be brought back.
General Attitude: He often regards people with a nod or a smile, judging their overall demeanor as to how he should react. He's usually laid back and relaxed, but can spring into action if he feels something is wrong.
Religious Inclination: He follows the dwarven god Korog, having been blessed for his profound faith.
General Intelligence: Nuvan is generally fairly intelligent, but not very perceptive, especially when being manipulated by his fears.
General Sociability: He generally tends to be sociable.
Alignment: Not sure lol I haven't played DnD to extent yet I don't have time.
Short Term Goals: Make better blades, and make more friends. Settle in to Linistel, and defend it when necessary. Take care of Hyoga. Help Euclid manage his smithy, and make his family proud:
- Tally down materials and update the shop page.
- Commission Raelur the
Dunmer Dark ElfMOOR ELF for woodworking materials, staves and handles. - Advertise.
- Obtain 36 books and quills for tenets of Korog and possible letters to write.
- Protect his sissie for being a great f*cking character.
- MEET THE GREYLINGS.
- Spread hugs and headpats in the name of Dwarf Dad.
- Practice Combat when possible.
- Gather materials.
Long Term Goals: Increase his faith in, and awareness of, Korog, in several different ways.
- Send Supplies to the rebuilding of the Cathedral as an act of perseverance in Korog's name
- Personally help rebuild the Tilted Whale into a more low-profile, dwarven-themed tavern, as an act of perseverance and of the craft in Korog's name
- Claim a mountain in Korog's name with the help of the other Korogites and dwarves.
- Fix up the smithy to be all nice and shiny.
- Possibly help his sister with her worship in the name of his family and of Korog.
- Make a set of six platinum holy symbols and pair them with one of the six tenets of the Allfather, then send them out to his best friends and family.
- Possibly go into Nid Arach if I have a big enough deathwish, and if I can rally enough goofballs to form a coherent party. Those mines aren't going to sanctify themselves, Korog!

Alfonso: Yer' incredibly off-puttin', and ye' kill the mood of every situation. Maybe ye' can't help it, but yer' gonna be the arse of the jokes in the tavern, especially from me.
