Appearance

Physical Description

Ridley embodies the lean, wiry build of someone trained in a dextrous fighting style.

Body Features

Traditional Sunsinger tattoos span along both arms to his fingers, across his back and down his legs. His tattoos are exclusively done in black ink, and Ridley's feature piece is the living tattoo on his back, a nightingale.

Facial Features

Ridley's features are striking and defined, bearing much of the sweeping and slender structure one might expect of those descended from elves.
His nose bridge is slightly raised as though broken a long time ago, and under the right light a short scar shines on his left temple, drifting into his hairline.

Identifying Characteristics

Ridley's pale blonde hair is shaved on both sides, displaying the shimmering gold brand of The Dead Kings above his left ear. His fingers, uncovered by the wraps he wears, are deeply scarred and poorly healed.

Physical quirks

His hands are often reflective of his thoughts and moods - though reading them is another question.

Apparel & Accessories

Wraps both his arms up to his elbows in cloth strips - a black satin wrap on his right arm, and a rough, faded crimson material on his left.
Ridley's garb is primarily shades of deep red, cut through with gold and silver half-plate armour.
Occasionally visible on his left arm is a woven, living vine bracelet. Growing from the bracelets are tiny blue violets and forget-me-nots.

Special abilities

The Dead Kings are famed for their skill and expertise against the undead and malicious necromancy.

Mentality

Personal history

Before his arrival in Dueam, Ridley was last known as a violet-eyed warlock contracting out of the of the Huntsmen's Hammersong guild.
He is intensely private regarding his own personal history, and does not share much of it lightly - though his search for his son, Ash, is too important to conceal.

Religious Views

Hosun, Wilroth, Triceal. He doesn't buy into any specific method or structured worship, however. Being in the world, enjoying its beauty and trying to assuage the pain in it; that is how he honours the powers that be.

Social Aptitude

Socially adept, though he has very little reverence for rank or authority and can feel intensely uncomfortable if trapped in someone else's personal moment.

Hobbies & Pets

A palomino mare, Fidèle, and a nightingale-phoenix, Cinder.

Speech

Ridley's accent is mixed from his youth travelling, though it shares the melody of southern Oaken'Ash speech.
