Firstly off….very nice picture of those norns in animal form with weapons, very cool especialy the boar. But even if they wield a weapon they do loose their armor in those forms.
Perhaps Charr altough have a cat like appearance should be compared more to gorillas seeing the way they also move on both 2 legs and also 4 (2 legs and 2 arms). Or a cross between a big cat and a gorilla? As you say speculation since there isnt any animal comperison from the real world.
Norn are stronger then Charr. Even stronger then several as sea of sorrows stated.
Doesnt mean that Norn would win the fight.
Personaly i think charr would be more agile and perhaps a smidge faster in a fight.This whole discussion is mostly based on melee combat and most norns arent armored entirely (except the norn male t3 armor) a mistake that any combat experienced charr would use to their advantage. And no i dont think the fully armored charr would be slower because they practice and basicly live in the armor wich would give then enough strengh and speed to use as fast as unarmored.
Although in game i strongly favor charr, i think the results would be 50/50.
There’s nothing in the lore that suggests charr are much faster than norn. Or any other race, for that matter. At least not in terms of reflexes and combat speed.
Also, not all charr wear heavy armor either. It seems a bit unfair to dress the charr in full plate armor and then have the norn be naked.
And as I said early on in this thread, in lore norn can change into their animal form and increase their already large strength advantage in addition to gaining the claws, teeth, and fur a charr enjoys. Norn literally have all the benefits charr have on top of being physically stronger.
Thats why i said personaly. I didnt say lore supported. Because of the cat like appearence i assumed it was likely that charr had a more instict quick reflexes then human/norn.
As for the armored statement i pitted two melee fighters against each other. So the norn would also wear heavy armor. Most norn in the game fight with a few clothes on as resistant to cold. And for some reason dont prefer the fully plated body armor.
The transformation to animals does give the norn another boost to their ability’s BUT. As far as i know it they dont wield weapons or armor in those shapes. Wich means a big disadvantage against charr. They have the ability to have one or the other. Not both at the same time, wich doesnt mean litteraly the same advantages as a charr.
I think the Norn has a bigger chance of winning without their spirit animal transformation.
Crimsondance, Crimsondawn, Crimsonwisper.
Remember the name doesnt have to be linked to proffession but can also be because of characteristics. (Crimsongrin)

My warband is the shield warband (dustshield, strongshield, boneshield)
If your looking for a soft name you could look for something more concept like such as nature related(Storm, dawn, gail, moon) or non material (Roar, bash) i think.
Most names can not be bound with all other prefixes so probaly depends on what the prefixes are.
These look awesome. Ill try to check this post often for next run. I would love to get a drawing of my character like that.
