Description

Powerful, brawny, hulking; all these words can describe this centaur, with his ginger-and-gold hair threaded with white and his shrewd water-blue eyes shadowed by bushy eyebrows. His human part is muscled and draped in practical clothing, leather armor, and a heather-purple sash embroidered with many white stars. His horse half resembles that of a shire horse: solid and strong. The coat is a handsome bay, the reddish colour contrasting nicely with a flaxen-and-ginger tail. He moves with a palpable sense of authority and experience. Clearly, this is a centaur who has seen much and lived to speak of it.

Background

As a young colt, Torrigan feasted on the legends of the original Starchasers. His grandsire would tell him the stories of those first heroes that ventured into the vale to retrieve the fallen star, and how they battled a trio of trolls that tried to claim it for themselves. He dreamed of his own name being remember in songs, or perhaps even written in the stars.

Age and his share of mistakes taught Torrigan humility. But even in his wisdom, he never completely abandoned his ambition. He still strove to be the best, but now it wasn't just for his own glory, but for the love of his herd. He cares for his people as if every one of them is his own brother, sister, or child.
