    Residence: Gorlok lives in a house in the middle of Castle Town right next to the The Broken Cup, an inn, and Gorloks place of employment.. The house's second floor had been removed and left open. Most of the walls in the house have also been removed, as Gorlok essentially lives inside a giant box that contains all of his things. A giant cooking pot sits in the middle while a giant pile of hay lays in one corner for his sleeping area.

    Equipment:
    -Boom
    Boom is Gorlok's most prized possession, his drum. The drum is made from a large hollowed out piece of dark wood, with thick piece of leather on top, held tightly to the drum with very thick twine. The drum is about 3 feet wide, and 4 feet tall. Often times, Gorlok will sit down with his legs wrapped around the drum to play it. He will occasionally stay standing and play, but not often. There is nothing extremely notable except for it's size. It is much larger than the average size, and most Hylians will have alot of trouble attempting to play it.

    -Leather Belt and Bags
    A thick leather belt wraps around Gorlok's waist. The buckle of said belt is rather large, and crudely made. The belt appears to be made of Yeti origin, and is not pleasing to the eyes, but strong enough to stay in place and hold up a large bag hanging off it's left side. The bag appears to be nothing more than a giant cloth sack tied to the belt. The sack has a string tying the opening of the cloth shut, but can be undone entirely to reveal it as a giant semi-square cloth. Inside it usually contains some meat, as well as some various types of edible plants that he has found. A much smaller version of this bag also hangs from the belt on right side. This bag mostly carries the rupees he is able to receive, and anything shiny that attracts his attention.

    Appearance:
    Gorlok is approximately 9 ft, weighing just over 350 lbs, he is slightly larger than the average yeti. He has long white hair covering his entire body from head to toe. The skin beneath all the fur is a nice bluish gray color. His hands are slightly larger than the average yeti, but otherwise look exactly the same. His upper limbs are slightly longer than his legs, which gives him the slightly awkward look of a giant white gorilla in certain positions.

    His face is one of the only parts of his body devoid of hair, the other's being his hands and his feet. While many Yeti's have large tusks, Gorlok's tusks are rather small. Jutting out from his face, two small white tusks are kept sparkling white. He takes great pride in his tusks, though he does wish they were larger. It was common among his family to have large tusks, and his are the smallest in his entire family.

    Personality: Gorlok is a kind and sweet giant, always taking great care to not harm any one smaller than him. He loves to sit and talk to the smaller people. He finds their high pitched voices humorous, though he does not tell them so. Gorlok takes great delight in the little peoples lives, always wanting to know why something is done. However, he often get's himself in trouble. Mostly due to trying to crawl through doorways that are way too small for him. He is super curious, but tries his best not to be troublesome for any of the hairless man-children.

    Perhaps the most important thing to Gorlok is his drum, Boom. He reveres this drum more than anything, and he believes it to be extremely valuable. Gorlok believes that all the magic he is able to perform is due to the drum's magic. In reality, the drum is rather mundane, and it is Gorlok who is magical. Regardless, he protects the drum with his life. Often, Gorlok can be found attempting to impress the smaller folk with his drum's magic

    Cooking, is a common favorite activity of many Snowhead Yeti's, and Gorlok is no exception. He often will often leave town to collect various plants to cook in his giant stew pot at his home. Gorlok loves stews, and also strives to make the perfect one. Not just a fan of stews, Gorlok loves all types of food, and can eat much more than the average Hylian, as befitting his huge size. He also loves having others try out his various attempts at cooking, which are not always entirely appetizing. Though he always seems to enjoy his makeshift meals.

    Background: Gorlok was a normal Yeti, who lived a rather simple life in Snowhead, until he stumbled upon Boom. He was walking across the snowy mountaintop foraging for plants when a Blizzard had hit. Gorlok ran as quickly as he could stumble across the mountain top. Finding a nearby Yeti Cave, he was prepared to ask the resident if he could wait out the storm, but he found no one home. Gorlok settled in for the storm to die down.

    That was, until he found a giant drum in the middle of the cave, upon a pedestal. Gorlok was awestruck. It was unlike anything he had seen before. Never before had he seen a drum that large, and was immediately tempted to play it. Looking around as if he would get in trouble, he gently ran up and touched it. It's head felt so smooth, and the wood was beautiful. With as much caution as he could have, he hit the drum. The sound was so mesmerizing to him, he figured it must be magical.

    Gorlok waited a good long while before he picked it up. While it may have been hours to him, it was actually only about 15 minutes. No one was here, and no one could have possibly wanted it more than him. This cave must have been abandoned! That would explain why no one was here. Gorlok quickly grabbed the drum, and ran home, entirely forgetting about the blizzard.

    It wasn't long until Gorlok found out that when he played a certain tune on his drum, a storm would start up outside.The drum WAS magic! That was the only explanation. Gorlok didn't know much about magic, but he knew from a few other yeti's that the little people down the mountain knew a lot about magic, so he decided to take the long journey down to see a wizard who could tell him about the magic drum.

    It wasn't the most comfortable place to be, too hot for his liking, but Gorlok found the little hairless yeti's adorable. Their small houses were quite the interesting sight. Gorlok quickly got distracted from his quest to learn about his drum, and started exploring the city. He got strange looks from many of the people, but Gorlok dismissed it, thinking that was how their faces normally look. But when it got dark, all the people started to disappear! Gorlok had no idea where they were heading. Luckily, he had followed a few of the little folk to a rather large house, which was an inn, called The Broken Cup Thinking it was where all the people go, Gorlok followed suit.

    Many of the tiny ones started to laugh, and make strange noises seemingly directed towards him. Confused, Gorlok didn't know what to do. It wasn't until the innkeeper came up to him did he even understand what the place was. The man had dealt with Yeti's before, and had the patience to explain to the Yeti.

    The innkeeper, took pity on Gorlok, and let him stay in the yard outback. Hefting his drum onto his shoulder, Gorlok followed the little man out back, as well as several other curious people. Once Gorlok placed down his drum onto the ground, one of the older gentlemen asked if the yeti was able to play the drum. Gorloks eye's lit up, someone wanted to hear his drum. He immediately got ready to play it.

    While Gorlok was not the best drummer, nor anywhere close, the small crowd enjoyed it. He was funny. The sight of the big hairy man playing the drum made many of them laugh with joy. The innkeeper immediately realized that he had a good thing happening. After many conversations with the Yeti, he was able to convince him to play at his inn almost every night.

    Many came from all over town to see the Yeti 'Bard', and many were taken aback with laughter. The Broken Cup had never been more popular, and Gorlok was happy. He loved showing off his magical drum, and for just playing every night, the innkeeper gave him food, and a nice place to stay. Gorlok was happy.

    Aside from the minor grammatical mistakes, a relatively minor mistake with your treasures, the profile seems okay.

    Anyways, before I can accept it, I'm going to say that you should have only five rupees remaining, and not ten. Fix that and you'll be golden.

    I have set his rupees to 5, as well as took care of a few obvious writing errors on my part.

    Alirghty then, with that there is no reason that Gorlok should not be accepted.
