Geralt of Rivia
(The White Wolf)
Basics
Geralt of Rivia | The Witcher (Netflix) Name/Canon 6'1; beefy Height/Build Not quite human Species Yellow/gold Eyes 106 (appears mid-30s) Age Gruff, with an English accent | LINK Voice
Geralt is hard to miss in a crowd, both due to his size and his appearance. Tends to keep to himself. Anyone at a glance can tell he's not a civilian. He's got plenty of scars and carries himself like a fighter. Sometimes he brushes his hair but usually, it's pulled back in a loose half-ponytail and left to its own devices. Has a constant "just came out of the woods" vibe.

If you're not put off by him, Geralt may or may not engage in conversation depending on his mood and your approach. He rarely says much, but if you skip the small talk and have something of interest to say, he can be conversational—even philosophical. Regardless, even at his most social, Geralt is to the point and possesses a sharp, deadpan style of humour. Dig a little deeper, and you might find something else under his rough exterior.


Currently played at Abraxas

Features
Scars
Geralt bears multiple heavy scars. Most are under his clothes, but a claw mark across his throat can occasionally be glimpsed. PICS: X X X X X

Jewellery
Never seen without his silver wolf head medallion. The back is etched with runes.

Equipment
While he has two swords, the one he uses more often is his steel sword. A bit shorter than a standard longsword, it has a gold brooch on the hilt.

Clothes
When not in his gear, he favours a loose shirt and leather trousers, always in black.

Other
His heartbeat is four times slower than a normal human's. Cats heavily dislike him, and will hiss and run from him due to his nature as a Witcher.

Appearance
APPEARANCE_INFO
Abilities
Enhancements
Enhanced strength, speed, and endurance. His speed and durability are most notable: his reflexes are quicker than a human's and he can withstand significant damage and pain, though some of that is due to sheer survival instincts. He's also resistant to venoms, poisons, and disease.

Senses
Hearing, sight, and smell are akin to that of a predator. He can track or identify someone using their scent alone, hear a person's heartbeat, and see in the dark.

Magical Resistance
Can usually resist being magically influenced, but if his defences are lowered or he's vulnerable in another way, he can fall under the sway of someone especially powerful.

Combat
Highly skilled with bladed weapons. Rarely holds back once engaged, and will not draw out fights. Whether man or monster, he often aims to end things quickly.

Signs
Posseses minor magical spells known as Signs, used in both combat and for practical purposes. For the full list of each one and what they do, see Signs

Signs
Signs are small spells all Witchers are capable of casting.

Aard
GIF | A physical force that's capable of pushing people back or breaking already weakened structures.

Yrden
GIF | A magical barrier or ward, strong enough to hold back a monster but it can be broken. Can also be used to seal doors/windows.

Axii
GIF | Minor mind control that can impose a hypnotic suggestion upon someone or calm them down. Also works on animals. Can be resisted by other magic users.

Igni
GIF | Used to set things alight or to heat metal, such as the blade of his sword. Can't create fire out of nothing; there must be something to catch a flame, like a torch.

Quen/Heliotrop
GIF | An instant shield that protects from the impact of magic, physical blows, or falls.
