Bowen & Gravok

Appearance

Bowen is the oldest of the Guardians and physically one of the most imposing. He has broad shoulders, a lean but muscular build, dark brown eyes, and shoulder-length dark hair that he often pulls back when hunting or traveling. His clothing is practical and worn, often resembling natural camouflage.

Early Life

Bowen's life changed forever when bandits attacked his family homestead. While he was away hunting, the bandits murdered both of his parents and burned their cabin to the ground. Returning home to find everything he loved destroyed, Bowen was forced to survive on his own. Years spent hunting, fishing, tracking, and navigating the wilderness shaped him into one of the most capable survivors among the Guardians long before he ever met Gravok.

Personality

Bowen is independent, resourceful, and surprisingly funny. Years of surviving alone taught him self-reliance, but they never took away his ability to laugh. He enjoys teasing his friends and often uses humor to ease tension during difficult situations.
