Name: Garren Yama
Age: 50,000
Gender: Male
Eye: Light brown
Hair: Grey
Skin: Dark brown
Height: 6'4
Weight: 250(?)
Race: Earth Elemental

Appearance: Garren Yama is a tall and powerfully built man with dark, rugged skin like leather, and a build that looks as if it was chiseled from stone. He wears a stoic expression at all times, quiet and contemplative. He is usually bare-chested unless he needs armor for battle, and his pants are loose until they reach his ankles, where they are bound around his legs. He generally walks barefoot and without any other attire than his weapons.

Powers: Garren has control over the earth, including crystals, metals, stone, and dust. He is the most powerful of the Four on terms of pure strength, both in power and physical ability.

Weapons: Twin hook swords
Fighting Style: Hung Gar, and Mantis style (Full Mantis and modified, White Mantis)

Strengths: Garren is, simply put, strong. He is stronger than any of the other Four in terms of sheer physical and elemental strength. He is less direct than Kiara, but more straight-forward than Wade or Dzaek. A perfect balance of offense and defense. He can also take more hits than any of the Four.

Weaknesses: His powers are limited to where he can manipulate earth or metal, so watery environments or high-altitude fighting, such as atop massive structures or mountains, are dangerous because the earth supports him. He is also far slower than the others of the Four.

History: Garren is the oldest of the Four of Destiny. He has seen the rise and fall of empires, the growth of culture and the decline of war. He has participated in very little, never daring to try to tip the scales in favor of one side or another, for fear of weighing it down so heavily the balance was broken. He was there long before the Temple was built, and will live long after it is forgotten. For now, he lives there for the solitude, and to test those whom he deems worthy.
