Fisherman, Trapper, outsider, and fate-marked follower of the Old Ways
22 winters, 6'10" tall, 272 lbs, nearly black eyes w/ nearly white hair
Klò is a bear of a man. Nearly 7 feet tall, wide-shouldered and thick-limbed. But he doesn't walk with the ungainly or stoop-backed gait of many men his height. Instead, he moves with an athletically powerful – if sometimes lumbering – force. His arms measure the thickness of most men's legs, and his powerful shoulders bear a slight downward slope… not as if weighed down, but the sleek slope of a swimmer’s shoulders … an ice bear's shoulders.
Most Ulfen wear pale skin. Klò's skin is paler still. Nearly that of the snow. His hair, long and unkempt, is white as well, and usually held back by a simple leather cord. His watchful, wary eyes – a brown so dark as to seem black – peer out of an over-long and scarred face. A face which seems longer still on his thick neck bearing a strange birthmark. The rakes of four claws running across the right side of his neck.
His Ulfen clothes, a mix of thick cloth and furs, are simple and well-tended, if faded and worn from years weathering the local seaborne storms. His armor is thick braided leather, flexible yet durable. And with the exception of a thick-bladed, well-tended fish cleaver hanging at his belt, his weapons all appear to be chosen for flexible, utilitarian use.

Druid Stuff:
Primal Spellcasting: see pg 30, CRB
Component Substitution: when spell-casting swap Material component for holy symbol component.
Anathemas: As stewards of the natural order, druids find affronts to nature anathema. If you perform enough acts that are anathema to nature, you lose your magical abilities that come from the druid class, including your primal spellcasting and the benefits of your order. These abilities can be regained only if you demonstrate your repentance by conducting an atone ritual (page 409).
• Using metal armor or shields.
• Despoiling natural places.
• Teaching the Druidic language to non-druids.
• Becoming fully domesticated by the temptations of civilization is anathema to your order. (This doesn’t prevent you from buying and using processed goods or staying in a city for an adventure, but you can never come to rely on these conveniences or truly call such a place your permanent home.)
Druidic Language: don’t teach this to non-druids

Wild Empathy: You have a connection to the creatures of the natural 5 world that allows you to communicate with them on a rudimentary level. You can use Diplomacy to Make an Impression on animals and to make very simple Requests of them. In most cases, wild animals will give you time to make your case.
