Hoppsman is stout-even for a dwarf-with corded, muscular arms. He is nearly as broad as he is tall and keeps his hair and beard cropped short. His hairstyle is contrary to dwarven custom, but he finds it easier to trim his hair than to have it catch fire in the forge.
Role-playing: Hoppsman is a solitary dwarf who prefers his work to the company of people. This has served him well in his career, but has made him lonely. He yearns for the day he can give up his trade and turn it over to a worthy apprentice; that day seems very far away.
Hoppsman has little time for those who wish to chat, unless they happen to touch upon one of his favorite subjects: arms and armor. Once that happens, he opens up and becomes as friendly as one could expect.
Combat: Hoppsman rarely enters combat, being well-protected by the dwarven king's guards. He normally does not wear armor, but when he does, he wears one of the most magnificent sets of dwarven plate mail in the kingdom.
Hoppsman will not shy from a fight and will battle to the death to protect his home and those that he loves.
