Character Overview
Appearance
The
Kaschs were always tall, giants for their time, and Nikolas is no exception.
In fact, even at six foot one, he was soundly dwarfed by his father and
brothers. Nevertheless, his height was quite impressive at his time, even
hailing from northern Prussia as he does. Even today, it remains taller
than average.
Some would say he has his mother’s look, but the truth is he takes it from his grandfather. The blonde of his hair and blue of his eyes both are paler than the warm summer shades his mother shined in. North Germany is writ plainly on the hard high arch of cheekbone and brow, the hollow of cheek, and the squareness of the jaw. His shoulders are broad, his hips narrow and athletic. His limbs are long and strong and his hands are rough.
Even so, he is not a graceless man. As with all great warriors, strength comes with dexterity. His movement, while never so fluid as to be called feline, is smooth and controlled. He moves like he'll do what he intends to do.
Usually, he tends to dress in semicasuals, occasionally (very occasionally) relaxing into full casualness; sporadically breaking out the black tie. An officer from the start, he has the bearing of an eagle; a nobleman besides, the tilt of his chin always has something of the imperious in it.
