Corin Thalen

Name: Corin Thalen Race: Human Appearance: Corin is in his late twenties, with a lean, quietly strong build. His dusty blond hair is short and perpetually messy, and a few days’ stubble frames his jaw. He dresses simply — travel-worn cloak, rolled sleeves, boots scuffed from miles on the road. His hands are calloused, marked by years of grinding herbs and binding wounds. His gray eyes are calm and calculating, always observing, always measuring. Personality: Corin is steady, practical, and unflappable, even in danger. He has a dry, understated sense of humor that slips out at the most tense moments. While compassionate, he’s not sentimental — he helps because he believes no one deserves to die forgotten, not because he expects gratitude. Backstory: The son of a blacksmith, Corin apprenticed under a traveling physician before war forced him into fieldwork. He’s spent years crossing battlefields, treating anyone who needs it — soldier or deserter, friend or foe. This neutrality makes him both respected and distrusted, depending on who you ask. Flaws: -Keeps emotions locked down, which makes him seem detached. -Quietly judges reckless behavior, including soldiers who throw themselves into danger. - Pushes himself too far, often neglecting his own health. Motivation: Corin wants to save lives to balance the scales of war — not out of heroism, but because someone has to try.
