⎊ APPEARANCE ⎊—————————

With an athletic figure – enhanced by the war god's blessing – the young man stands with a militaristic posture, at around 5'9. Chestnut-brown hair falls to his shoulders in waves, swept to the right, accompanied with a beard that is slightly redder in tint.
Voice | this guy
Attire –
His civilian outfit tends to comprise a modest shirts, varying from white to grey or blue, along with a pair of loose, baggy, grey-brown pants. They're secured by a wide belt of embossed leather, then tucked into his boots. Often, blue scarves adorn his neck and right bicep to denote his faith. As of late, he has taken to wearing a gambeson on a casual basis too.
On more ceremonial occasions, Jorvun arrays himself in a dignified tunic of blue, woolen fabric. In black thread, it bears intricate embroidery of wildlife. The set is completed with a wolfskin cloak, draped over his shoulders, and a decorative cuirass of leather lamellar.
Regardless of the time and space, he dons cavalry boots of dark leather, with an elevated heel for better control on the stirrups when riding.
Armaments –
A left-handed gauntlet of hardened steel and fine leather, that covers the arm and reaches up to the elbow. The metal appears to have subtle tones of crimson and azure when it catches the light. It is otherwise undecorated.
Passive: The armour is indestructible, articulated and cast perfectly to the attuned's form.
[Ability - FIST]: Three times a day, the gauntlet can be imbued with the strength much greater than that of a normal strike—akin to a mace or warhammer. The attuned's hand must be closed into a fist for at least one turn of preparation, wherein the steel glows a colour thematic to Valiant, before it can be used for an enhanced attack.
An oaken shield, circular and convex, roughly 35' in diameter. Striking white illustrations adorn the azure field, with spirals of black. They depict wild horses, an extinct animal known as the 'crokka', and other great, noble beasts.
A warhammer, with a piercing spike at the top and a vicious crow's beak. Around two feet in length, it bears langets on the haft for reinforcement, as well as a rondel guard above the comfortable grip. No decorations adorn this pragmatic weapon.
Possessions –
'Purpose' | A locket upon a sturdy chain, the material a dark steel. Within, two images of both the wearer and the one they care for most appear as small portraits.
When the two are near one another within whisper chat, they feel more secure and find the potency of fear and trauma is lessened. When held in hand with intent, both linked individuals feel the brief presence of one another, for comfort.
A renowned herd of warhorses, along with other farm animals.
A rock of irzis-fyr ore, kept in a pouch.
Other arms and ornaments;
A longsword of dark blue steel with a ruby pommel, gifted to him long ago by Valiant's messenger, Gerard.
A collection of books written by High Priestess Ashna.
And a number of trinkets such as books, statues, coins, et cetera.

Consorts in the past taught him their language. He doesn't speak with the discernable accent of any subrace.
