Appearance
How do they usually dress?
Layers. Lots of layers. It varies on where he is, the climate, etc. but usually he always has a red scarf around his neck/shoulders, some sort of hood, and looser clothes held close at certain points so it’s less likely to be grabbed. After he and Maarzi met his style has improved somewhat, but it usually doesn’t stray too far from practical. He tends to dress in dull/dark reds, browns, oranges, and greens, though he has worn brighter colors on occasion. It largely depends on how the province he’s in dresses.
What do they wear to sleep?
Again, depends on where he is. While he’ll usually just go to bed with an oversized shirt on, in Skyrim he hardly dresses down at all if he’s traveling. In inns and at the College he’ll just wear the shirt and occasionally pants if it’s too cold. In hotter provinces he’ll usually just curl up with a blanket.
Do they wear jewelry?
In 3E 427, he only wore his ring when he needed it, otherwise it was just the necklace Sees gave him as a child. He gave the necklace to Jeer when they passed away, so he doesn’t wear any anymore.
Is there anything about their appearance they wish they could change?
1) less scrawny
2)
taller
3) more Saxhleel
How would they look as the opposite sex?
Not much different. He’d have small boops and a little bit wider hips/narrower shoulders, but the difference would be so minuscule that unless he was naked you wouldn’t be able to really tell.
What do they smell like? Why (do they wear the scent or does it occur naturally)?
He smells like fur and whatever wilderness he’s been in, occasionally like booze/fish/blood depending on what he’s been doing. Vampires and therianthropes would be able to smell a sort of musky scent from him too due to his beastblood, but with normal people it’s too faint to notice. Because of his sensitive nose, he’d never wear a scent specifically because dear gods it makes his nose numb and he feels scent-blind or in pain until it fades away.
Do they have an accurate mental picture of their appearance (how they see themselves versus how the world sees them)?
He sees himself as scrawnier and shorter than he really is due to distorted self-image and low self-esteem. On his good days he sees himself almost like an odd blend of Khajiit and Argonian, though not consciously, and on his bad days it feels alienating to be in his own skin. It’s something he tries not to focus on for the latter reason.
What are your characters most prominent physical features?
Dark fur and bright eyes it seems. He’s sort of an odd androgynous bony/wiry noodle, with scruffy fur and big eyes/ears, and a long tail.
