History Characters Hurgur
 
 
Hurgur
Hurgur are found in various mountain regions all across the world, typically in small and thinly spread tribes with the exception of the nations of Therokai and Thurnik. Most Hurgur live their entire life within the confines of their tribal existence, but some are more individualistic and seek adventure.
 
APPEARANCE & DRESS

Tribal Hurgur
 
Hurgur are tall and very sturdily built humanoids that look dangerous and tough. They typically stand between seven and nine feet tall but are often somewhat hunched, with heavy shoulders and thick squat necks. They are dense and weigh in between 400 and 600 pounds.
 
There is some variation in appearance among Hurgur of different tribes, but as a general rule the Hurgur have thick grey or light grey skin, black eyes, and greyish teeth. All Hurgur are 100% hairless on their heads and don't have eyebrows, but the men can grow stubbly beards with patience and they have some body hair in their nether regions. Almost all Hurgur have unusually thick and heavy jaws. Their eyes are usually small and deepset behind bluff cheekbones and a craggy brow. Their voices are usually low and rumbly.
 
More primitive tribes of Hurgur wear hides and rough leathers but Hurgur from Therokai and Thurnik dress similarly to the Nordmanner; though the actual cut of their clothes is distinctive the materials and techniques used to make them are effectively the same.
 
GENERAL CHARACTER
 
Hurgur tend towards the brutish and crude, but practical. Despite some stereotypes, most Hurgur are not any more prone to violence than a typical Human. Generally speaking the motivation, outlook, and general mindset of the Hurgur are somewhere between the Var and Human mainstream.
 
ORIGINS & ORGANIZATION
 
Of all the Var and Cympion races, Hurgur are most like Mankind and if given half a chance most Hurgur can be gotten along with just as most Humans and Var can be gotten along with. Hurgur are basically tribal, and identify with their tribe, and also identify with their immediate and extended family -- although in some cases this amounts to the same thing in practice. However Hurgur culture has a place for the individual as well, and there is a good deal of personal differences between Hurgur even within the same tribe.
