Though there are hundreds of people I could detail, there is also the average "Joe" that your player characters are going to encounter: bakers, merchants, and even guards. Here is an average profile of a guard at Bloodhelm.
A home guard at Bloodhelm will most likely be light skinned, blond or brown hair, with blue or brown eyes. (Not racism, just the make up of this area...have to have those sorta disclaimers now a days...) They usually stand around six foot tall, give or take bit. Most are fairly broad, though wiry is somewhat common. Most are men, somewhere between eighteen and twenty five, though captains and sergeants are usually older. Most can read and if they can't, the Home Guard gets them a tutor to at least read the bare minimum of things. Some are married, but most are single though want to gain some savings to impress some young woman so they can marry.
Home guards are trained in bow, short sword and spear. Some know magic others know how to handle more exotic weapons, but they are far and few between. All are equipped with brigidane armor, weapon of their choice and a dagger.
If they chose to no longer serve as a home guard after their seven years of service they are given a small stipend and many become crafters or guards for caravans.
