Garon

Garon "The Gut" is a venerable figure among the Dao, his stature and appearance bearing testament to his long years spent among the earth and stone of The Underland City. He is a sizable and rotund Dao, his body a testament to the power of the earth. A large stone belly protrudes from his frame, a symbol of his standing among the Dao as a figure of respect and authority. Garon's arms are an embodiment of his nickname - "The Gut." His fists are hardened stone, each bearing the weight and power of a small boulder and his stomach is a rotund masterpiece of oversized proportions. These hands have been both a source of creation, shaping countless works of stone and metal in his lifetime, and destruction, capable of delivering devastating blows that shatter stone and shake the earth. His lower half, in stark contrast to his upper body, is an amalgamation of swirling rocks and boulders, seemingly detached from his torso, held together by the powerful earth magic that courses through him.

Covering his head is a mantle of thick, dark red hair. Contrasting against his stony skin, this vibrant feature adds a touch of color to his otherwise monochrome visage. Despite the ruggedness of his physical form, his eyes carry a soft, gentle light, reflective of the wisdom and kindness that he holds within. Garon is more than just a physical presence - his reputation as a knowledgeable, grounded, and wise Dao precedes him. His years have imbued him with a wealth of experience and knowledge, which he generously imparts to those who seek it. His counsel is often sought by both Ophal and Zanir, a testament to the esteem in which he is held. Despite his formidable exterior, Garon is known for his jovial nature and keen sense of humor, often lightening the mood with his hearty laughter and good-natured teasing.

However, when necessary, he can be a fierce combatant, his fists able to reshape the terrain to his advantage. His mastery of earth magic is apparent, capable of manipulating the surrounding rocks and earth with ease and fluidity that speaks to his decades of practice. It's said that his punches hit with the force of an avalanche, earning him the name "Stonefist". His loyalty to The Underland City is unshakable, and he would not hesitate to lay his life on the line for his people. Despite his responsibilities, Garon still finds joy in the simple things in life - a trait that endears him to all in The Underland City.
