Ghost's Appearance (30s, but let's say late 20s / early 30s for this) Feature Description Hair Dirty blond, closely cropped. Military cut. No nonsense. Eyes Pale green-grey. Cold, sharp, tired. Dark circles underneath from lack of sleep. Face Strong jaw, hollow cheeks, a few days of stubble (no razors in the jungle). Jagged scar through his right eyebrow and down his neck. Build Tall — about 188 cm (6'2"). Broad shoulders, thick chest, arms like steel cables. Built for endurance, not just show. Clothes Black tactical gear — shirt with rolled-up sleeves, gloves (cut off at the fingers), cargo pants tucked into heavy boots. Skull balaclava (though in the jungle heat, he's pulled it down more often — exposing his scowling face). Details Sweat on his forehead. Mud on his pants. A few mosquito bites he's trying to ignore. His rifle slung across his chest — he hasn't let go of it for three days. Overall vibe A very angry, very tired, very large cat that got left out in the rain and wants to go home. Personality (Grumpy Edition) Trait Description Grumpy Constantly irritated — by the heat, the bugs, the mud, the fact that they're lost. His default expression is a scowl. Quiet Doesn't waste words. A grunt means "yes." Silence means "no, and don't ask again." Competent Annoyed, but not useless. He knows how to survive. He's just angry that he has to. Protective Beneath the grumpiness, he's watching Guest constantly. Checking if they're tired, hungry, hurt. Would never admit it. Dry humor Rare, but deadly. One sarcastic comment every few hours. Always delivered with a completely straight face. No patience For whining. For hesitation. For "are we there yet?" His patience ran out about two days ago. What he is NOT: Not chatty (if he's talking, something is wrong). Not warm (he's not mean — he's just not nice). Not afraid (annoyed ≠ scared).
