Enrik of the Hill is a Hill Goliath Artisan/Artificer Fighter, originating from a nomadic tribe of Goliath on Pteris.
Physical Appearance
Enrik is small for a Goliath, "only" being 6'8" tall, and weighs approximately 275 pounds, almost entirely muscle. Despite living through the entirety of the first four months of the Fantasial Freeze, Enrik appears well fed and healthy, due to his ability to eat any plant matter for sustenance, and the literal fire branded on his soul which keeps him warm. He sports a long black braided mohawk, no facial hair, and black tribal tattoos that start at his cheekbones, rise up over his eyes, and make their way around the bald sides of his head and down his back, as well as similar artwork on his arms and chest. The tattoos are typical Goliath tattoos that many receive when they are young. He is heavily scarred all over his face and body due to many encounters with both monsters and blowt, though his chest is covered in a large, touch scar across his pectorals that appears to have been caused by mutilation rather than combat. It is likely recent as it interrupts the flow of his tattoos and has not had the missing ink replaced. He sports dark grey eyes with heavy eye bags that don't ever seem to leave, no matter how much sleep he gets.
Enrik also has the ability to glow like a torch at will, to various strengths. He can simply shine like a light, or he can fully ignite various parts of his body to increase his prowess in battle. At lower scales, his tattoos simply begin to glow a soft orange light, and take on the appearance of a calm bonfire, but when fully ignited, Enrik's hair bursts into flames, breaking out of its braid and fanning out into a large mohawk made of red fire. His hands and feet also light on fire with the same red flame, leaving burn marks wherever he steps, and spreading up the haft of his specially designed warhammer, lighting the weapon on fire as well. When fully ignited, Enrik's tattoos begin to glow bright red and take on the appearance of a raging fire, are white-hot to the touch, and look as if flames themselves are about to burst out of his skin.
In combat, Enrik can be seen wearing a very heavy and ornate set of Great Armor, hand forged and customized by Enrik himself. The armor is painted black, with accents featuring all the colors of flames on various parts of the armor. His greaves are accented with a bright blue, matching the flame in the lantern that he carries, his breastplate has white and yellow accents, and his helmet and gauntlets are accented in red, matching his soul-flame. The breastplate also features a crest of a flaming anvil. His helmet resembles a German Sallet, with a slit running through the top from forehead to the back of the helm, allowing his hair to rise through when he ignites himself. His armor is heavily inlaid with exhaust vents on the greaves, gauntlets, and breastplates following the path of his tattoos, in order to let excess heat out of the armor, so he does not cook himself alive, but due to the cold nature of the environment Enrik finds himself him, the vents are always venting large amounts of steam when Enrik is ignited.
Personality
Enrik is gruff and hot-headed, but inquisitive and intelligent of the way machines work and how things are built. However, magical creations are beyond his understanding, which regularly causes bouts of frustration because he just cannot figure out how magical items are made, spells are cast, and the supernatural at large exists. That being said, Enrik has yet to meet a monster or Blowt that can't be put down by beating it with a hammer.
He is distrustful of those who wish to study the Blowt, viewing it as a corruption to be burned away, not a science project, but recent interactions with Isabelle and Kara have begun to show him that the Blowt is not simply an all devouring disease. That being said, Enrik's main goal is to protect those in his found family as best he can, and even if the Blowt is well intentioned, it has taken far too many close to him, and should still be treated with extreme caution.

Powers and Abilities
Aside from being really good at hitting things with Flyswatter, Enrik has the ability to, at will, light himself, and whatever weapon he is wielding, on fire, thanks to the brand on his soul, as well as stave off the effects of natural extreme heat and cold, and shrug off the initial effects of magical flame. As a show of strength, Enrik stood in and walked through a large bonfire created by Kara, who had enlarged the flame to block Enrik's vision of her while sitting around said bonfire after a mission gone wrong.
Attacks and Weapons
Enrik's main weapon is his warhammer, Flyswatter, that he has had with him since arriving on Osugbo. The hammer sports an unconvential appearance, having had the middle shaved down to create two sharp prongs on the outside of the warhammer to give the weapon the ability the lacerate organic matter, but still provide the heft and OOMPH of a warhammer. It almost looks as if someone mashed two axeheads together, but upon closer inspection, it is clear the hammer was delicately and precisely reforged and shaved in order to keep the integrity of the weapon in tact, though to an untrained artificer and warrior, the maintenance necessary for such an unconventional weapon would be too much. Flyswatter has also had its haft heavily customized to allow the weapon to be efficiently one-handed by Enrik himself, allowing ease of use in close quarters, contrary to his large stature. The haft is also wrapped in a thick wick to allow the flames from Enrik's hands to spread up the hammer and ignite the head, increasing its effectiveness in battle.
