Description History: Attenborough wasn't always such a bruiser. In a past life with Layen, he used to be one of the many staff members at the city's library as he was always drawn to literature. Most of the work he helped with was the heavy lifting that came with shipments of new books and the repairs of larger structures, but he never complained nor quarreled knowing he'd get his breaks where he could read one of the books he had been working to shelve. During the Obscurite invasion, the world turned to a survival of the fittest setting, and being already above the cut in fitness, all that was really needed was a change in personality to utilize his bulk. Knowing there would be strength in numbers, he turned to Vivaemare who had made a solid standing in the underground metros. The less he had to worry about others threatening his grouup, the more time he could devote to collecting and reading his books. Of course, he still has to pull his weight with protecting the group from others, but he's become less averse to being the bruiser he looks to be.

Personality: Attenborough is normally quite docile despite his size. He prefers only to chase intruders off rather than go one on one, but he isn't opposed to a showing his attacker who's boss if they really want it. He often cares more for his own pleasures than other's, but he'll take orders to help if Dorian asks or others desperately need it. If you work hard, there's still a man under that thick hide who cares about more than just himself and his books, but it's easier for him to show this to you rather than work to find it yourself.

Ability:
*Strength and Size- While these aren't exactly abilities, being 7ft tall and sturdy enough to lift small cars for a time is certainly something that sets him appart from others you may find in Layen!

*Tough Hide- In line with his crocodillian blood, Attenborough has his own "leather armor" under the tweed vest and brown suspenders. This means that cutting and piercing attacks should be more than just a glancing blow if you want it to do any more than nick the uppermost layer of his skin. Of course, he's nowhere near armored, just a bit harder to to phase.

OHOHO, DANKE SCHOEN! I'm actually proud to say I didn't use any outside textures on these ref sheets, and I'm especially proud of how Arttie's texture came out! It's surprising what you can do with the stock set of brushes, but I'm going to have to get some more sometime soon.

SEE YOU IN LAYEN!
