Name: Ebris Dhifi

Race: Human

Height: 6'6"

Weight: 312lbs

Basic Appearance w/ clothing: Ebris Dhifi is a monster of a human being. Standing 6'6" in height and weighing 312lbs, he usually dwarfs most sentients he comes across. His features are harsh and strong, though they aren't always grim - Ebris has a dark sense of humor, and it shows from time to time. He appeares to be in his early to mid fifties, but despite such an apparent age, his blue eyes are unnervingly fierce and keen. He possesses an extremely strong, block-like jaw that ends in a powerful chin. His nose is broad and somewhat crooked from being reset from being broken countless times, and his thin lips are almost always pulled into a scowl. In addition to black hair (that is starting to grey) that's cut into a utilitarian flat top crew cut style, as well as being relatively unshaven, he has a very rugged appearance that would not be appealing to most.

Worn over his body is an aging grey duster, made out of a rough cloth-like material. It has obviously seen lots of use and is tattered considerably, as well as pocketed with random bullet holes and some slashes. The coat's tails are especially tattered. Worn over his chest is a dark brown padded vest, which has a black-colored bandoleer strapped across it that travels from his upper left shoulder and down to the lower right part of his waist, where it is attached to a belt of the same color. Buckled to the bandoleer and belt are a host of different pouches, grenades, shackles and other such utilitarian devices. Strapped to the belt are a pair of fairly large-sized quick draw holsters on either side of his waist, which ride low upon it. Nestled in them are a set of rather large revolver-like weapons that are oddly missing their hammers and are colored silver with matte black grips.

For leggings he wears a pair of drab patchwork jeans, which are tucked into a pair black leather boots that have had steel plates sewn into them. On the parts of his tanned, leathery skin that are visible (his hands, arms where there are tatters in the sleeve and his face), Ebris is marked with dozens of old scars and burns. While he doesn't have any old wounds that would mangle his appearance, they are tell-tale that he had seen an unnatural amount of years in conflict.

[x] (Note on this pic - this is just him in his armor, which I don't want a pic of. The references are for the large revolvers in his holsters, minus the hammers, as they are las weapons and thus don't need hammers. The bandoleer in the pic is also a great reference for the kind of stuff that can be found on it (pouches, grenades, etc.))


In the pic, I'd like him to be holding two weapons. The first can be found here: [x]

I had that commissioned a bit ago. It's a pretty damn large weapon, weighing in at 5lbs and is 21" in length. The details on the weapon are perfect, so you can just use the reference for that. The other weapon would be his mining pick. It's modified so the blades can collapse up and down (for storage/HURR SURPRISE), and a great reference of what it looks like is the earlier reference found here: [x] The only thing that should be different is that the picks should be quite a bit thicker at the top end, but still wedge down - they're a bit too thin in the picture. The mining pick is 2 1/2ft in length and weighs 7lbs.

His boots also have a pretty specific appearance, which can be found here: [x] The plates are perfect - rusty, thick and durable-looking - only his don't have any spikes or skull motiffs on them, just bare plates.

You can have some artistic freedom with the picture, but there's a few things to note. One, he doesn't smoke (he's got what is pretty much the equivalent of black lung due to his mining days), but he does drink like a crazy ********. Generally, he always looks like he's in a pretty pissed off, grumpy mood, though he does tend to grin a bit ferally in situations when he's beating the s**t out of people he doesn't like (IE, most). Generally, if everything looks harsh/gritty, industrial'ish and hand-me-down, you should be good to go.
