Conatus/Hephie

Hephie is a character in Conatus and the first character created by Somebody495. As character 004, he is one of the 10 free starting characters, and is, overall, the fourth character added to the game. 
==Background==
Hephie grew up as a miner in the western lands of Dodoro since he was a child. As he mined, he grew and grew more. He was lead to believe that the worth of a man is in how much they can accomplish for themselves. And the more they can dig up, the more accomplished they can be. He's mined up silver, gold, and all sorts of gems. When he heard about Grimnore, he recognized it as an untapped vein, probably overfilling with gems and metals. 
==Appearance==
Hephie is a pale man built like a bear. He's bulky and 6'4". He's usually found covered in gravel. He's also very hairy. The hair on his head frizzes outwards towards the back, resembling porcupine quills with how spiky it is. His beard is also thick and long, even covering up a bit of his upper chest. 
He wears bronze colored overalls, a white, long-sleeved shirt, and a helmet used whenever miners travel deep into mines. He also wears a large, red backpack that holds all of his equipment.
==Personality==
Hephie's pretty narrow minded. He typically likes to find a straight path to his goals. He also believes anyone that stands between him and his goals are obstacles that he needs to smash through.
==Gameplay==
Hephie's built for one-on-one combat. He's known for carrying heavy weapons and swinging them into enemies for massive damage. He's also known for being particularly slow and having lower vigor, which makes maneuvering a bit of a challenge.
