Over his clothing he wears a hauberk of boiled leather scales. this comes down below his knee and is split up the middle to his waist. It's short sleeves come down just past the elbow. The scales are colored and arranged in a random green and brown and breakes his outline much like his Ranger cloak.
He wears a hard leather helm banded in dark steel with cheekplates and scale camail attached to the back. He is gird about with a very broad double buckled belt that is protective and supportive for long hours of riding.
"Roary" is a very good nickname for Hrohiric as he is a very heroic, passionate and impetuous individual His lusty battle cries are a natural overflow as he wades into battle mounted or on foot. he enjoys life with an exuberance that is not just contained to the battlefield. He is very discaplined himself but never assumes that anyone else should be. He is also a charrismatic and natural leader. For all of his living life large approach to being a warrior, he is however a very crafty and cunning ranger. His stealth and patience springs from his discapline and he as a result a fine hunter and tracker. Quick to smile and laugh he does not take himself too seriously and has a very good nature, accepting as good as he gives with his comrades.History:
Though he lives by a strict code of honor it is once again more his own ethical descisions than anything he follows publically. Roary's one true gift is his oneness with animals, especially horses, he has an empathy for their thoughts and behavior that allows him to excersize a skill that comes along rarely in a generation or so called whispering.
Hrohiric was born the youngest son and child of a prominant Rancher by the name of Lorhirin (normally just shortened to Lorn by the plainsfolk) Isenhelm who ownes a vast spread on the western side of the plains North of Celtica.Additional Information:
His Eldest brother Anborn is a very strong and determined man with a brilliant mind and was educated in the Royal Acadamy in Araluen. He is destined to succeed his father in the ownership/management of Mearsea, their spread, and already assumes much of the responsability of its operation. His middle brother Hrothgar is a bull of a many and easily the strongest fighter on the plains. Hroth though enamoured of a kind of earthy practicality and good "horse sense" will not be winning any chess matches any time soon, but is stubburn as well as determined and works as hard as he fights. His sister Evenwyn is said to look just like his mother who died carrying him in childbirth. She is caring and gracefull a very fair. Her empathy with the people is very much like Roary's to animals, wich is why she is a renowned healer. The family was raised in a seminomadic lifestyle that centered around the seasons and needs of the grazing livestock. Though they were housed on the homestead of Mearsea (a large hall with many barns stables and bunkhouses) They would all spend time as a family with the many hands and workers on the trail as they put it. this became even more frequent after Roary was born and his mother Hithwyn passed. Roary was fortunate to have been instructed in honor and leadership by his father, Cleaverness and strategy from his elder brother, warefare and determination by his middle brother, and the social graces and caring from his sister.
When Roary came of age and choosing time came it was thought that he would stay on the spread and tend to his duties, but he wanted to get out on his own and see the country. He had impressed a man who he later found out to be the fife's retired ranger and was recomended as a ranger candidate. He was emediately assigned to the Aslavian poney project and served his apprenticeship under the Ranger Stablemaster in Araluen. When A problem developed in his home fife and he was of proper experience he was given the position as interum Ranger of his fife in the Solitary Plaines. He Rides a powerfull buckskin stallion(a type of breed that Maersea is famous for) named Roan who is as wild and battlecrazed as his owner but who is actually a better ranger than his master. He is very intelligent and well trained showing much more "Horse sense" than Roary most of the time."]
Roan was a gift from his father when he went away and was trained by Lorn to watch over his beloved youngest son.
Roary carries a sword that is as much a badge of his station amongs his people as it is a mounted weapon and can use it to good affect, though the type is a single handed hacking type weapon better used on horseback. He wears it in a baldric but normally keeps it looped over his saddlehorn on the left counterbalancing his quiver looped on the right. He excells in his composit horse bow for speed and accuracy on or off his mount and also carries a long spear when riding. Slung on his back or over the rump of his steed he has a round shield of medium size, otherwise he prefers his Ranger seax and thrower.
