Solveig "Fire-Back" Gor-Rurdundo

NOTHING IS EARNED WITHOUT FIRST BREAKING A FEW BONES
AND MAKING YOUR WAYS THROUGH THE FIRES OF LIFE'S FORGE

Appearance

Like most Goron, he's tall, but he's a little taller than most, and a lot more built. He stands at seven feet and eight inches. His gruff voice is driven further home by the fact that he's just... A giant rock. A giant moving rock. He has a tattoo on his arm and always has two dashes of face paint on both sides of his face. He may also full body paint his self with his war paint when going into battle, out of tradition.

He's got a bit of a belly, but that ain't too bad, it just adds to his momentum in combat. On his arms and legs, he has heavy twine wraps around the wrists and ankles, mostly for support, also, just cause that's part of what Goron will wear. Twine, heavy bandages, metal rings. Sometime it changes but it's mostly the same for him. Though when he does go into battle, he'll wear metal around the twine.

Personality

Solveig is a beast of a Goron with a personality to match. He's got a lot of life in him and loves to have fun with the other Goron around death mountain. He enjoys company with them, as well as the company of allies and the Hylians residing in Kakariko village. While he does like to have fun though, he knows when to get serious. He has zero tolerance for any sort of immaturity and would prefer that people who want to come seeking an audience from him come there with the sense to realize that they are not in any sort of territory that is considered anywhere near safe for anything that isn't Goron.

He also has zero tolerance for Deku and Zora in his domain (He also secretly worries for their condition in that domain). He also just doesn't like those races, generally. While he can like you, he doesn't like it when they act better than him or his brothers and sisters... Or better than anyone, exactly. Everyone has walked life's fires at some point, and it doesn't stand well with him when people treat others like garbage. "We're all in this together".

Other than that, he's a joyous fellow and can be found sumo wrestling and boxing some of the other Goron at the top of death mountain. He may leave death mountain as well just to check on current affairs personally or to go to an audience. Sorry zora. The domain is inaccessible to him.

History

He grew up in death mountain, was born there and was forged by it. He's never lived anywhere else in his entire life and he won't ever change anything about that. He was raised among the tribe like most children, wrestling and slamming other Goron around for sport and game. He spent a good amount of years working the mine as well. Years of hard work and turmoil have forged him into the next patriarch, and when he was twenty-two years old, the chief before him declared that he was getting too old for the physically taxing duty of being a Goron chief, and passed it down to Solveig.

He proudly accepted this task, working with the chief that passed it down to him for a while. and it wasn't long before he had two sons later down the road. He'd work these children hard, just like any of the others, and they would receive no special treatment. He'd then begin to work hard, doing his best to follow the footsteps of the chief before him once the chief had decided he was ready to start walking the road on his own.

He's been the true chief for sixteen years now, the previous leader becoming part of the elder council that helps him make difficult decisions. Now he does his leaderly things without too much turmoil. Of course, not everything is peaceful, and he's not perfect, but he does his best and will always remember to turn to his elders if an issue arises that exceeds his wisdom. Which can be quite often....

Miscellaneous Information

His nickname is "Fire-Back"

I'm leaving a good chunk of his history vague for the option of him having two children if anyone wants to talk about apping one just for plot reasons with me. So that way they can mold a little bit of the history for them instead of having to go by a rigorous one. They are in th 18-20 ranges on age.
