Barius Tulari

Description Show All

Barius is a Tula, a lizardman-like species from a story I'm working on. He is large and fairly imposing. He stands at well above average height, and while he isn't buff to the point of ridiculousness, he is fairly muscular. He is incredibly fast and agile despite his build, and often surprises enemies who were expecting a slow powerhouse.

He is fully plantigrade, human-shaped hands and feet bearing the standard five fingers and toes each, though with small claws instead of smooth nails. He has a sort of spined fin that runs from the center of his forehead down to the base of his neck, ending somewhere between the shoulders. He is otherwise lacking in natural accents or accessories. He has the same green scales all throughout his body, completely lacking in separate plates or anything else. His tail is massive, yet surprisingly dexterous, much like Barius himself.

His clothing varies widely. He can and will freely enter a mission in anything from full heavy armor to sensible wear to going completely naked--whatever he thinks will confer a tactical advantage. His "default" costume consists of tight and form-fitting black short pants and a shirt that end just before his elbows and knees. Over those, he has gray metal shoulder pads that stay attached via a tie that runs across the chest and back and beneath the opposite arm, thus making an "X" shape when both are worn. Finally, he has wrist and ankle bracers made from the same gray metal, and a simple cloth belt. He lacks shoes, gloves, or covering for his tail, preferring to go barefoot and leave his extremities exposed.

His weapon of choice is a simple quarterstaff. He complements that with kicks, claw swipes, and the occasional devastating lash from his powerful tail.
