appearance

Varric stands at a typical height for a dwarf, averaging right around 5'. While in his younger years, his hair was a lighter strawberry blond, it's darkened with age and is now a more subtle brown. he's also grown a bears, something he'd scoffed at in his youth, preferring to stand out from typical dwarven appearances. As a dwarf, his features are stockier, thicker and rounded than normal humans or elves, giving him a much more compact appearance. his eyes are a warm brown in color and the laugh lines around his eyes are more visible than ever.

He bears a spattering of scars from the many battles he's been in in his lifetime, but the most visible these days is a crossed slashing scar down over his right brow. His nose shows signs of having been broken in the past and also sports a scar from a knife fight. Although he doesn't always wear them, Varric typically sports a silver piercing in his left ear and two on his right. He also has a habit of wearing shirts that reveal his broad chest, and the crowning glory of his youth - his glorious chest hair. It's still quite impressive.

Varric is friendly and easy-going, and treats just about everyone he comes across as a friend he hadn't had the opportunity to meet yet. He's smooth and silver-tongued, quick thinking, and adaptable as situations change (or unravel) around him. he can strike up a conversation with anyone, and most never even realize he might be wheedling information out of them - either on purpose or just to assuage his own rampant curiosity. He's got a great love of gossip and both hearing and telling interesting stories. He also seems to be drawn to the sort of people who those stories form around, which means his life is rarely boring.
