Hi.
Been thinking about this for a while. I figure that writing a thorough physical description of my char will help me regain a bit of the connection I lost due to forced IG inactivity... meh.
Name: Shooree Farook
Gender: Male
Age: Young (mid-20's)
Character: Shooree, although physically young, is the Scholar and Loremaster of the Felines Lair, one of the oldest Guilds around. He walks with pride and his demeanour is that of subtlety, calmness and authority. He acts elitist, sometimes openly dismissive of what he considers unfit of the high standards of thought, action and morals that he believes in. He despises physical confrontation (his first reaction is to be afraid, as opposed to drawing his falchion), yet enjoys digging for rare metals and natural beauty. He is literally addicted to the light of the Azure Sun, because a permanent spell that holds his left knee together needs "refuelling" by the means of sunbathing. When he is not sunbathing, he spends most of his time in the Lair library, translating the obscure texts that Ayshe brings him. Shooree is known to have spent weeks not leaving the library, when the workload gets heavy. He can hold his drink well and frequents the taverns when taking a break from constant work.
Physical Appearance: His fur is of a medium length, black with small patches of orange, grey, white and brown all over (think regular street cat). For face construction, think puma, rather than lion or tiger, i.e. sleek, slightly elongated. There is a straight, thin, line from the far corner of his left eye to his chin, where the fur has been cut, and blue paint applied. Eyes are orange, smaller than average,very focused and radiating wisdom and willpower. The ears are slightly lower hung (refference Kary's Xillix, but not to that extent). Overall, his physique is that of someone who enjoys sitting and thinking (and drinking) more than running around, hunting. In no sense is he an Apollo, then. He wears a high quality, hooded robe (he rarely puts the hood on, though), blue with silver, plus a few purple details (feel free to design it to your liking). The robe reaches to under the knees. On the upper hand part of the left sleeve, the Lionhead symbol of the Lair is represented in silver (reference my sig). Underneath it, three diagonal lines start and wind their way down anticlockwise all the way to the end of the sleeve, making a 360 degree turn in total (hope this is clear enough). The outer two are continuous, silver lines, while the middle one is purple and wiggly, representing a stylised handwriting. Otherwise, the robe is pretty much plain, except the faint, purple patterned designs in the fabric. Two deep pockets on the tighs, and that's it. A leather belt on his waist has a Lionhead buckle and holds a sack and maybe a rolled up pergament, a herb and a keyring (lots of keys). He wears nondescript heavy leather sandals on his feet.
Props: A somewhat big seal-ring on his left hand, and a thin silver chain on his neck, tucked inside the robes. A big, old, heavily engraved book in his right hand.
Posture: I'd love to see him in a stand-still-for-the-artsy-picture fashion, his torso turned halfway to the viewer with the left sholder to the front; eyes set firmly on the viewer. Straight back, somewhat self-important but very calm and knowing aura about him. Think CEO of a multinational, eh? Smiley
Cheers, and thanks to whomever decides to tackle this. Thank all of you artists for being such sweethearts, in fact.
