    Basic Information.
    • Selester "Silver-tongue" Swain
    • Twenty four ~ 24
    • Male
    • Seeks to make a name for himself in the Regalian upper and lower classes.
    • Selester came to Regalia roughly ten years ago. He currently resides in the common district, he owns his very own house and is very forthcoming compared to other of his kin.
    • The Young slizzar was born the 10th of april 280 AC to Sseveriss and Sssessa Sseron and adopted by the allars Zezz and Vzizra in the Hardari Archipelago, a couple years before the beginning of the Chrysant war. Both his parents were relative nobility in the Essa empire. Selester had one surviving brother that he unfortuantly never knew.
    • Selester, being raised by a regalian noble, tends to keep updated on political matters and alternative events aswell. He wants to keep track of all the ongoing events and attempt to use it in his favor however he can.

    Visual Information.
    • Eye Color : Black on the outside with dark red irises and slim snake-like pupils.
    • Hair/Tentacle Color : Selester has dark red tentacles covering his smooth scalp. Several gold rings pride the longest of them.
    • Hair/Tentacle Style : As it is rather difficult to set a hair style with his specific type of "hair" He just keeps them however they want to be.
    • Skin / Hide Color : Selester has smooth black and dark gray hide with red markings here and there.
    • Clothing : Typical Slizzar wear, silk in shades of Black and red with golden lining. Golden braclets on the wrists to hold it in place and can connect to the tail if desired.
    • Height : Standing at about 6,5ft in height and his tail around 8 ft in length. Adding up to 14,5 ft in total length.
    • Weight : Around 200lbs
    • Body Build : Muscular for a Slizzar
    • Weapon of choice : Selester is a Shadow mage on "advanced" caster level, having trained for a total of seven years, he tends to avoid a fight by either rounding a corner and making a quick escape to a nearby cover with shadow meld. His shadow meld is on regular caster level and he has also begun studying on devoid magic. So far he can only transport something the size of a finger or smaller within 7ft and it has to be in clear sight.
    • Selester has a rather round and ovular head, his cheek bones protruding slightly from his temples and down to a long slender lipless mouth, stretching across the bottom of his face and to the sides in a what would seem like a grin. This grin would make up for his seemingly always sly resting-face which would rarely change unlike that of an Ailor. Whilst his red tentacle hair isn't really set on purpose, it tends to hang down the front and back of his head, only a few hanging to the sides.
    • A elegant and slender, yet rather muscular build for a slizzar. Selester has long, slender yet seemingly muscular arms leaing up to a tight and slim torso, his belly featuring a line of lighter texture skin than his main skin color, the line staring around his chest area where it where it was broader, covering most of his chest and then thinning out as it continued along the waist and stomach, then down the rest of his body and eventually the slizzar's tail. The tail would be very strong, most of his muscle mass and weight residing there, it could easily be used for strangling or heavy lifting. As a result, most of his muscle resides in tail, abdomen, and arms. Selester has no body hair at all being a reptile. A certain thing to note about his body, should you inspect him closely and with the right knowledge you would find shadow magic runes tatooed in dark red down along his back and certain descrete ones along his lower arms to keep them best hidden. His outfit usually covers all on his back.
    • He typically wears a typical silk robe befitting a slizzar, he wears a light dark red silk vest lined with gold. The vest is ofcourse sleevless but down his arms there are a few bracelets with small bits of silk hanging from them. The braclets can be linked with the tail wear to lift it up, making ti easier for him to walk if he morphed to legs and tail. About seven golden rings mark the longest of his tentacles and in his tail robe there is two very large and deep pockets along with two pockets on the inside of his vest. He usually carries a small leather-bound notebook containing writings in Zasta and weird runes written in purple ink. There would also be sketches of certain pages in books and runes carved into stones. The contents would not make any sense to a normal pickpocket but a state operative might be able to figure out it's heretical contents.
    • Selester usually speaks in a calm, soothing and relaxed tone. He has picked up a strong ceardian accent but has good control over his voice and can easily switch to another accent if the situation called for it. He speaks in a calm yet hasty rate not much diffrent from most other people and he has a tedency of slipping up on CH, making a Z sound instead. He will occasionally make prologned S sounds and also make Cs that are ment to sound like S to a Z aswell as Th will also become Zh so for an example Thought would become Zhought. Selester speaks fluent Common at a rather advanced level (Except for his accent step back) and has learned to write aswell. Selester natrually learned his mother tongue during the first five years he was with her, he learned to write and spell that too but he sometimes slips up on the language due to him rarely using it and that he learned it long ago.

    Personality and Abilities.

    Personality traits :

    • Arrogant.
    • Narcissistic :
    • Coquet : The young slizzar is very woman happy and likes to flirt with them, both Naylar and other races. And he does not only enjoy flirting with them, he also thinks them to be very magnifcent and beautiful beings, he respects them. Especially those of high intellect and cunning wit. The smarter the better. Because of that he has developed a perticular liking for Slizzars, Nelfin, and Humans of all cultures. He tends to use his persuasive and soothing voice in his favor, seducing them the best he can.
    • Hygienical : Selester likes to keep himself and his surroundings clean and hygienical, eventhough he doesn't mind getting dirty when needed but he very much prefers to keep a good hygiene. Selester takes frequent baths to keep clean and to be more presentable. He aquired this trait when being brought up as a noble which required a certain hygiene.
    • Sly : Selester can seem rather sly to most. Coming forth very secretive and mysterious, not fond of giving too much personal infortmation. EUGH COULND'T THINK OF ANYMORE. TBA
    Strengths.
    • Sneaky : Being very elegant and sleight, Selester is incredibly sneaky and his tail makes it easy for him to sneak around undetected due to the lack of noice usually produced from steps. Another aspect of stealth would be his skin color which is hard to see in the night as long as he covered his hair with a hood. He is also a good climber and can use his tail for many things but moving throught obstacles at a high pace isn't one of them and he'd mostlikely stumble and fall.
    • Liar : Selester dislikes lying, even so he can sometimes be a bit of a liar himself. He is very experienced in the art of deception as he has plenty of training, he is also very good at keeping natural when doing it, his only quirk would be his tongue flicking out a bit faster than usual though it is barely noticable. Even more so, as he does have alot of experiences with lies, he is very keen when spotting typical mistakes made when lying, things such as looking down or up when facing a question, keeping a bit too intense eye contact and probably talking faster and being waay too descriptive. He easily picks up these signs and tries to expose the liars instead of confronting them head on.


    Throwing in the Lifestory here for later use on my other PC :P

    Selester Swainé was born in 280, six years before the Chrysant war. His parents were upper class citizens and lived in a rather large estate with several servants and guards in the northerne state of Osstissa. Selester was hatched alongside his brother Ssael. Selester's original name was Ssezz Sseron and his brothers was Zelliz though they later changed it. Selester grew up being taught in the history of the Essa empire and previous empires and the Nessrassian faith. He learned alot about Hardar culture and history in the six first years of his life. Then came that faithful day. On his way back from a small stroll accompanied by a caretaker, and hyped for his nameday next week, loud explosions could be heard in the distance with the sound of screams and destruction following. Few moments later the same sounds repeated themselves and hell began raining down. They hurried back to his home where a shell had hit the top of his house. Debree, corpses and fire was scattered all over. A couple servants followed by his mother hurried over to him, his father was preparing a lesser battalion of house guards for a counter attack, he paused his speech momentarily as his eyes met his son's for the last time. His mother dragged him off into the jungle escorted by most of the servants and a few guards. They speeded throught the jungle in panic, fear and confusion of what had just happened. A few weeks later they reached the state of Allossa where they were rechieved along side several other refugee's by the city guard.

    They got to their summer estate on a hill a few hundred metres out of the city but the soon decided to move into the safety of the city as the constant explosions and noise of cannonfire seemed to draw closer by the minute. And ofcourse it wasn't long before the Regalian fleet reached Allossa too. Selester was home when the shells started hailing down upon the city once again. His mother took Selester to a bunker underneath their home and there they sat idle alongside a pair of servants and a single guard. There he was, sitting underground with only a single candle for lighting, starving with hunger, adrenalin in it's apex, and the constant sound of explosions, yelling and screams filling his head.

    A couple days later, the Regalian Marine Infantry had begun invading the city and the cannonfire had returned, it had been stopping and reappearing several times the past three days, sometimes it was even gone for hours at a time. One of the servants went up to scout if it was clear to leave, she had a poor heart immediatly died from heartfailure due to the shock the mere terror had inflicted. After that they never dared to leave the basement again. Soon the Regalian soldiers reached their district and they found the bunker, the servants and guards attempted to reinforce the door with everything they could lift. Selester's mother told him to hide in a large supply crate in the bunker, few moments later the soldiers broke through the door and made quick work of the servants and his mother eventhough the guard managed to take down a few of them. Selester only heard the last screams of his mother before the crate was taken outside, he had a small peeking hole in the side of the crate. He leaned forward to have a look of what was going on. His eyes widened as he witnessed a sight that would come to haunt his dreams for the rest of his life.

    He launched himself away from the hole and into the other side of the crate. A confused grunt could be heard from the outside as the lid was tipped off and a foreign, weird scaleless face, peered down to him. The unfamiliar being reached down too grab him. "It certaintly seemed like an Allar just without the scales" He thought to himself, before his mind catched up with the situation. In the blink of an eye he launched his jaws at the soldier's ar,, teeth latching onto it as hard as possible. The suprised soldier cried out in pain as Selester's jaws surrounded half of his forearm all the way to the elbow. He frantically shook his hand as to shake the slizzar off but it only teared the wound open. At the same time another soldier reached for a sword, preparing swing to behead the Slizzar. Suddently a person called out in a foreign language and another Ailor approached them, he wore a finer attire and no armour. He carefully pried his jaws away from the soldiers hand and grabbed him by the neck, as to avoid his jaws.

    Selester was taken onto a ship and sailed to the ailor's home land he would later come to know as The Regalian Crown Isle. Selester was renamed and raised as the servant of the noble who was originally a doctor, tending to the wounded in the wars, who had developed a scientific intrest in Naylar. In the beginning he was used for a few experiments but the Noble soon grew attatched to him and decided to raise and teach him personally, though under a hard parentship. He eventually gave Selester a new name and his own last name. Selester was taught in writing, spelling, and slowly picked up a few typical languages such as Common, a bit of Ithanian and some Alt-Regalish. There he was for the next eighteen years, gaining connections, learning Ailor culture and meeting new exciting people. Occasionally another noble came to visit and Selester hid in a small crate, the same he had originally carried in which he had now re-decorated. Though as time passed he grew larger and it had to be the broom closet. He soon discovered that many people disliked him and was often harrased on the street so his new father kept him at home for the most part. Only after the Chrysant wars ended was he allowed to walk on the streets as he pleased. Eventhough people still harrased him and were terrified by him, he had grown used to it. Then later, only a few months after his 17th birthday, his master (the baron) was killed by a raid party on his way to Rothenburg. Selester was sad of this, he had liked to man but he had no problem getting over it. To Selester's suprisement, The baron had declared Selester his only heir and so all of his wealth and possessions went to him. He ended up selling the lands and many of his possessions but kept those he found intresting. At this point he considered himself the richest Naylar in all of aloria, atleast to his own knowledge. One day, a few months after the death of the baron, Selester was going through his belongings and he found a weird sigil written in black and red on a peice of parchement. Along with it was several scrolls and tomes containing writings and sketches of various runes and hand gestures. After a bit of research he found that it was a practice of shadow magic which he soon decided to train himself. He lived on his own in a fairly large, well decorated estate for the next seven years and still does to this day.

    Hey! Mind if I give this a peer review? Or at least, what you've mocked up so far.
