-------------------------------------------------------------------------
A slender and poised figure clad in sumptuous, flowing garments with dark furs and dangling jewelry to match. Stalks with a serpentine elegance, and holds a fixed gaze which often betrays a sense of hubris.
BUILD: A willowy frame with long limbs, angular shoulders, and a curve at the waist.
SOMATOTYPE: Ectomorph.
HEIGHT: 6’2, close to 6'5 in certain bootheels.
WEIGHT: It's rude to ask, you know. [Around 170 lbs]
FACIAL STRUCTURE: Narrow with sharp cheekbones, and a long nose that might be just a little too big. His face has a dollish femininity to it, generally betraying him as a rather pretty man. Two short, pale white horns peek from the top of his head.
COMPLEXION: A pale white with an icy Moorish grey tone. Clear and youthful, but sensitive to intense sun exposure. The veins of his neck creep down like delicate inky vines, as do the veins from his wrists to his elbows.
EYES: Violet, with long white lashes. His left eye is glass, but this is not usually noticeable or disclosed. Currently wears Sightseer, a winter blue color.
HAIR: Silvery-white and lighter than his skin. He grants particular pride and care to his hair, and he’ll go to great lengths to define its presentation. His eyebrows match this shade, if a tad darker.
HAIR FEATURES: When free, his hair reaches his hips. Silky and well-trimmed, and sometimes braided, slicked back with oil, or held by a ribbon. Gets quite fluffy after being washed.
WARDROBE: Iskvandar is vain and particular in regards to his presentation, adorned in the darkness of long, regal garments and furs that tend to lean very androgynously, often wearing dangling onyx earrings and other matching jewelry. Long black boots tend to have a steep heel and arch, and his hands are always clad in dark gloves. On more casual occasions, or those in which he presents more explicitly masculine, he will often be wearing cravats and dark waistcoats, with a frilled cotton shirt underneath. In the southwest, to compensate for his albinism, he'll often be seen wearing big, dramatic hats.
POSTURE: Straight-backed and tall, with a nose ever-so-pretentiously tilted upright.
GAIT: He struts with light feet, carrying himself with a certain degree of practiced serenity and elegance.
HYGIENE: Iskvandar is an avid bather with mysophobic tendencies, and cleans his hands particularly often. He despises using his bare hands for dirty work, and can be very rude in the act of doing so.
SCARS AND MARKINGS:
✞ Tiny blemishes and bite scars are peppered over his left hand. His left ring finger is missing. [Silverfish swarm, amputation]
✞ A faint slash across his lower right side. [Bandit stabbing]
✞ The Duchess Alison Kane's Animancy sigil, carved into the back of his right hand. [Bound by flesh]
✞ Lilith Alraun's Animancy sigil, branded into the left side of his waist. [Crossing the River]
✞ Dranoden's signature, tattooed on the bottom of his left foot. [Soul for sale]
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES:✞ He is one of very few pale Moors.
✞ Presents a rather foppish and ambiguous performance of gender.
✞ Cosmetic heterochromia [Violet & winter blue]
✞ White Abyssal horns.
✞ Iskvandar will often go out of his way to make an impression otherwise quite difficult to forget, for better or for worse.
VOICE: He speaks in a smooth and refined manner, as though his every word is carefully selected for its purpose. His accent is rather difficult to place, as despite his Moor Elven features, it would be less than obvious to most that Mok'yra is his mother tongue. He is well-practiced in language, and a certain lilt of his cadence hints at scholarly aristocracy, or at least the illusion of it. But regardless of how well-spoken he is in Common, his accent always carries a certain (European) exoticism, foreign and unplaceable.REFERENCES: David Bowie [X] Steve Naghavi [X]

INJURIES: N/A.
ILLNESSES: N/A.
CONDITIONS:
MONOCULAR VISION | In a long-past scene exacting bloody vengeance, Aleksei Ivanov gouged out
Iskvandar's left eye. When separated from the arcane artifact gifted by his lover, Iskvandar is half-blind.
ALBINISM | Congenitally inherited, resulting in sun-sensitive skin and moderate photophobia in his right eye.
DIET: He's an incredibly reserved eater, particularly against being observed eating
as he feels it makes him seem vulnerable. Favors Southern and Sooleran cuisine, with a penchant for spice.
FITNESS: Vanity and the need to survive fuel his actions. He keeps in shape, and
with a history of intermittent slum lifestyles, can still throw a decent punch on a good day. Manning a small ship for his last four years has made him quite fit and agile.
SLEEP: He's a nocturnal sort, preferring the comfort and sumptuousness of a night life. His sleep is often fitful as
nightmares have plagued him for decades, and after being contracted to Dranoden, have only progressed his disturbance. Various vices and substances usually provide some relief.
