Dorian Wilde
Dorian Wilde
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Slightly above average height and lean masculine build. Upper body musculature is more developed due to archery training. He relies more on agility and cunning in combat situations rather than brute strength.
Body Features
When in good health, his skin is a warm sienna with dark freckles. In instances where his nature is more in control, the color drains to a more lifeless, ashy tone.
Some parts of the body, such as elbows, knees, and the nape of the neck are plated with flexible infernal scale of a similar sienna color, fading darker towards the scale tips. These scales also have a metallic sheen to them.
Dorian possesses a tail, whip-like with a barbed tip, falling to about mid-calf. Plates of infernal scale begin at the base of the tail and fade to smoother skin with clusters of spines that can flex and flatten to convey emotion.
Facial Features
Dorian has a heart shaped face with a mix of features. The face is relatively smooth and youthful, high and wide cheekbones still developing definition.
Jawline has a defined edge with some facial hair beginning to grow.
His eyes are almond shaped, slightly angled and deep set. Eyelids and areas around the eyes are drker in skin tone. His eyebrows are dark, sharp, angled, and add a level of severity to his otherwise more carefree demeanor.
His nose has long and smooth bridge, broad base with prominent nostrils, and the tip pointing toward his mouth.
Lips are dark with a ruddy rouge tint, fuller in shape with the lower lip being fuller than the upper lip.
Areas along the cheekbone, forehead and hairline are decorated with infernal scale.
Identifying Characteristics
Dorian has a head of stark, ghostly white hair, wavy and of medium length falling just behind the shoulders. Pointed ears tend to poke out from underneath his hair unless it's wildly unkempt.
A pair of horns, black and draconic in appearance start from the front of the head and elegantly begin to arch back with room to grow.
His possess heterochromia; the left eye a bright silver, the right eye a vibrant azure. A long and knotted scar inflicted by a blade runs over the azure eye from right-mid forehead to cheekbone, splitting the eyebrow.
While Dorian does his diligence to keep them from being noticed, he does possess a set of dangerously sharp fangs on the upper and lower jaw. The canines are the most exaggerated while the lateral incisors are more subtle.
Physical quirks
Both eyes have black sclera, and the irises tend to glow based on emotion or when harnessing magical abilities.
When in an extreme state of hunger sickness, dark veins are visible beneath the skin, particularly around the mouth and eyes.
Special abilities
Dorian was once a novice cleric practiced in healing divine magics. Since the shattering of his faith, much of that practice was lost.
Recently, however, he has acquired a source of magical control and is relearning how to wield it. While he feels it is because of the last shard of light within him, this feels different. Eldritch power and necromantic enchantment weave themselves amongst the celestial light.

Apparel & Accessories
Dorian arrived in The Mists wearing plum and dusk colored simple handed down clothing, well worn but sturdy in make. There was no sign of the elven armor and shield handed down from his grandfather when he awoke, so when the party acquired their first bit of decent gear, Dorian felt right at home in the elven studded leathers.
Dorian has a number of simple ear piercings of brass, bronze and gold.
Kept hidden under Dorian's Shirt is a circular, bronze amulet with a metal beaded chain somewhat like a rosary. One face is embossed with the image of an open eye, and in place of a pupil is a crescent moon overlaid by an eight pointed star. The other face has an inscription written in the elegant calligraphy of Dorian's native dialect.
He occasionally will weave/braid found trinkets into his hair, such as pristine bird feathers, bone, or metallic tokens.
He also knows how to work with henna and will sometimes paint intricate designs on himself, particularly on his face, hands, or tail.
Specialized Equipment
Dorian is trained hunter and assassin. His whole life has been dedicated to hunting monsters and ridding the world of evil.
