Dorn has a single tattoo on his right shoulder, of an eagle bearing a sword. It was the symbol of the mercenary company he once lead, and he wears in it remembrance.
What armaments and gear do you typically carry with you?
Dorn is well-armed to say the least. He typically carries a claymore, a longsword, a longbow, twenty arrows for the aforementioned bow, and a dagger, typically hidden in his boot. Aside from that, he typically wears a mail shirt, and padded jack under it, for armor protection. Finally, he wears an iron helmet upon his head, and carries a pack full of supplies needed for travel and the occasional bout of adventuring.
How do you typically dress?
Aside from the aforementioned armor, Dorn typically wears a set of commoner's clothes, consisting of a shirt and pants, and a set of hob-nailed leather boots. Unsurprisingly, he doesn't own a set of formal wear.
How much care do you put into your appearance on a normal day? On a special occasion?
On a normal day Dorn spends a little time cleaning his kit and maybe shaving if he's lucky, but little else. For special occasions he tries to shave, bathe, and make sure his equipment is as spotless as can be. There's little else he can really do in that regard.
What is your favorite aspect of your own appearance?
 Dorn is rather fond of his scars, and thinks they give him a rather distinguished appearance.
