For clothing, Beric usually favors T-shirts that show off his arms, though given the fall weather he usually wears a jacket or sweater overtop. He isn't overly picky about his choice of legwear. When outside during the day, or in an unusually bright room, he is almost always seen wearing a pair of black sunglasses.
History:
Beric was born along the coast, in a large town whose economy was largely dependent on mining and fishing. He was raised by a single mother who he had absolutely no resemblance to. She was a nurse at the local hospital, and though she worked long hours, she did have enough money to provide for him. Beric ended up spending a lot of time with his uncle, who was almost like a father to him.
He was thirteen when he discovered his powers. His mother was surprised, but not nearly as surprised as she should have been. After she got over the initial cost, she told him to never reveal his powers to anyone, issuing multiple warnings. Beric continued to practice his abilities, hoping to get better at it, but after one instance where he was nearly caught using them in public, she told him to never use them again.
A few months later, they moved to a smaller town. But unbeknownst to his mother, Beric continued to practice in secret, and as the years went on he became surprisingly good at it. At the same time skilled at football and wrestling. He became very confident in his skills, both physical and magical.
What kept him humble was the regular mocking he received for his height, though this did result in a physical confrontation on more than one occasion, and eventually people learned to leave him alone.
His impressive athletic record attracted the attention of Hailbrooke college, and he was offered a scholarship.
Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.
