Tyche Stonejaw, Bouncer - The Fiery Crab
Tyche stands nearly seven feet tall, his broad shoulders and muscular frame giving him an imposing silhouette that demands respect. His dark green skin is marred by a series of scars, the most notable being a jagged line running from his left temple to his jaw—an old wound that adds to his fearsome appearance. His tusks are slightly uneven, with one chipped, and his heavy brow casts a perpetual shadow over his piercing amber eyes.
Tyche keeps his green hair pulled in a short ponytail, though the occasional unruly strand escapes to frame his square, weathered face. He dresses simply, favoring slightly too small shirts that show off his powerful arms, sturdy boots, and a belt laden with tools of his trade—knuckledusters, a coiled whip, and a dagger worn more for show than actual use.
PersonalityGruff and unapproachable, Tyche speaks in grunts and short sentences, his tone always carrying a hint of irritation. He has little patience for idle chatter and prefers action over words. Despite his demeanor, he is a professional, taking his job as a bouncer seriously. His gaze constantly scans the room, and his presence alone often defuses potential altercations before they start.
Though he appears hardened, Tyche is a deeply private individual who harbors a quiet sense of honor. He detests bullies and will step in if he sees someone being mistreated—though he’ll grumble about it the entire time.
