Of average height for his kind, Oaric is slightly thin for a dwarf, though his muscalature bears no indication of weakness. His beard is black, bushy, and sports two thin braids bounded by ivory beads.  His head is bald, scrapped clean of hair daily. 

He bears a relaivtively new scar along the right-hand side of his face, from his brow to his cheek.  "A dunlending axe took me at un-awares" he claims, "among the Elf-ruins of Eregion, twas where the coward was hiding.  The fool nearly took my eye, but the victory was mine, and the savage fell before my hammer."
