Appearance: Ursus Dreamcatcher is an imposing brown bear.  His massive frame is normally draped in vibrant, flowing gowns adorned with colorful southwestern-style jewelry. Beads, feathers, and trinkets dangle from his attire,  in an almost hypnotic way. 

Background
:  After wandering the wastelands, Ursus settled in the pure, clean deserts of the west.  He has stumbled upon groups who still embrace the "spirituality" of the Ancients, and embraced it as part of his persona.  He doesn't fully understand these fragments imperfectly, but Ursus learned to exploit them for survival. He presents himself as a shaman or medicine man, earning food, shelter, and respect from communities desperate for guidance or protection.

Despite his facade, Ursus is no true believer. His reliance on his brute strength, cunning, and mutations makes him a pragmatic survivor first and foremost. However, his efforts to maintain the shamanic persona have granted him a surprising depth of knowledge about ancient rituals and traditions—enough to convince most of his audience.
