Gunnr Bochanan
Appearance
Golden of hair, and fair of eye, Gunnr is the epitome of a handsome son. Perhaps a bit light in the jaw, he got that from his mother. Constantly in the leathers and linens of his House Bochanan, Gunnr is barely ever out of some form of cuirass or leather riding armour. After all, he's got riding to do in the wilds!
Skills and Abilities
+ Artist. Gunnr is a natural talent in charcoal, and paint. He spends much of his spare time sketching on valuable paper or vellum, and painting on canvas. While capable of embroidering tapestry, Gunnr hides the more textile-applicable talents he has because it's not manly.
+ Rider. If it's quadrupedal and has enough size or room for a rider, Gunnr can tame any wild or domesticated beast. His kinship with the animals is near-magical, but nothing more than a sympathetic heart and strong human mind. His own horse and he grew together, and Gunnr treats the mighty steed like a sibling.
+ Spearman. With his focus on cavalry-based warfare, Gunnr is growing into a talented fighter with a spear and long sword.
- Bows are Dumb. Gunnr is absolutely helpless and useless with a bow, more likely to get himself tangled, than hit a target.
- Tongue Tied. Although his elocution lessons took care of the childhood stutter, Sir Rurrick's firstborn son is not exactly smooth of tongue with ladies other than his mother and sister.

Personality
Gunnr carries the sensibilities and imagination of an artist in the body of a warrior. While he would rather spend his days sketching or painting on the roof of Aodhbrand, Gunnr is a dutiful son, enamoured with receiving his parents' praise. Young and of the age where he by rights should start out on his own, Gunnr is hesitant, needing a push out the door before he makes his own way. When battle comes to him, Gunnr is ready to prove his father Rurrick Bochanan and mother Gwendolyn Bochanan proud.
