Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad

— BASICS —

— FIRST IMPRESSIONS —

APPEARANCE 6 feet tall, brown eyes, brown hair, of native Syrian lineage. Horizontal scar runs over his lips on the right. Left ring finger severed many years ago beneath the major knuckle. Regularly shaves and keeps his hair cropped fairly short. Lean muscle all over, primarily from climbing and practicing blade combat. Callused hands from climbing and sword-wielding. His eyes occasionally glow a muted gold when he chooses.

CLOTHING Habitually chooses clothing that matches and blends in well with the local population. Consciously shops for garments that are slightly less interesting to look at to avoid drawing attention. Favors light, breathable fabrics that are easy to move in. Shirts and coats will either cover the bracer strapped to his left arm or do not make it look out of place worn atop them. The bracer is always worn.

DEMEANOR Expression is stoic and shows little emotion by default. Gaze is alert and percing, and he constantly seeks to take in as much information as possible using multiple senses. Moves smoothly, quietly and undramatically to avoid drawing attention. When "on business," moves like a predator.

AURAL Low voice, rarely raised. Doesn't speak too quickly and gives the impression his words are always carefully chosen. Arabic accent when magic language geas allows.

OLFACTORY Most often smells of leather, steel and horse. Is regularly active and doesn't shower after every incident of getting sweaty, but keeps clean. Does not use cologne or strong scent of any kind..
