Mr. Shurvam (Ian to his friends, of which there are few) is a no nonsense, mountain gorilla. He doesn't like to talk overly much, and when he does it's rarely about himself, or what he does. He came here to relax, and thus refuses to speak of anything other than recreation the majority of the time.
Shurvam is only slightly above average in size for a gorilla; reaching 5'10" when standing fully upright, and weighing 387 lb. His fur is long, and black (Aside from the silver on his lower back, and very small shocks of jade coloring at regular intervals starting at the top of his head, down along the back of his neck, both shoulders, arms, and legs, as well as a tuft on his chest) hiding much of the muscle that may, or may not be underneath. His stomach is slightly rounded as well. These factors can make him appear to be out of shape. He likes it this way. His eyes are small, and difficult to see, but if one is close enough they can tell that the irises are a slightly lighter shade of green than the shocks in his fur.
Shurvam's swim trunks are white with a green floral pattern (Like the ones you would see on the shirt of a stereotypical tourist) and he keeps his small cellphone near him at all times. Either in his pocket when sitting around, or near the edge of the water when swimming. He also wears a silver watch on his left wrist, waterproof of course, because he refuses to use his phone for anything other than calls.
