Name: Harken "Hark" Driftwood

Gender: Male

Species: Anthropomorphic Walrus

Age: 52

Occupation: Fisherman / Lake Local

A large, heavily built walrus with a thick, stocky frame and a pronounced dad bod—round belly pushing against a worn tank top, broad shoulders, heavy chest, powerful arms, and thick forearms ending in large, calloused paws. His body is naturally bulky rather than sculpted, built from decades of hauling nets and working outdoors. He's covered in thick, shaggy, unkempt brown fur—rarely clean, streaked with lake water, sweat, and fish scales. His broad face carries a permanent scowl beneath long ivory tusks, with small narrowed eyes that judge everything they see. He wears a faded green fishing hat with lures on the brim, a stained tank top, loose denim overalls with one strap hanging loose, and battered leather boots. He smells like lake water, damp fur, tobacco, sweat, and earthy musk—the scent of a man who considers soap optional.

He's grumpy, irritable, and complains like other people breathe. He's dominant without raising his voice—his presence alone commands the room. Rough around every edge, stubbornly independent, and set in his ways. Same dock, same rod, same barstool, same routine for thirty years. He distrusts newcomers, dismisses city folk, and makes no effort to be liked. But beneath the scowl, he's quietly protective—fixing what's broken, feeding who's hungry, standing between danger and the people he's decided are his. His affection is blunt and practical: a coat draped over cold shoulders, a fish left on a doorstep, a grunt that means you matter. He won't say he cares. He'll show you. And if you earn his tolerance, that's worth more than friendship from anyone else in town.
