Who is he?
The fine line between fantasy and reality, he's the acceptance that lies beyond judgement. An academic, intelligent and remarkably patient, he speaks like he knows more than you but doesn't manage to make it sound patronising - every word feels carefully placed in dialogue, as if he knows - without a doubt - what to say next. As if he's had this conversation before. He looks at everyone with analytical eyes, so dark they seem entirely black - with shimmery, cloudy and missized pupils. He attempts to hide his imperfections, but has a sort of shamelessness to them when they're pointed out. Like he's waiting for someone to just
try. His voice - restrained, like his tongue doesn't have room. Like he always has more to say but knows when to stay quiet.
Like he's hiding something.
But he isn't all sad, mopey and mystery! Not at all. Infact, if you told him that's how people perceived him he'd almost cry. Though, flattered by the interpretation, he really values himself on honesty and truth. Truly attempts to embody relaxation everyday even though life constantly seems to try and kick him down. He's just like everyone else in society. Just trying to get by and stay happy while doing so - which, if you asked him, wasn't especially hard. Just don't dig too deep into his history. If there's one thing that's right about how people see him, it's that he definitely has skeletons in the closet.

What is his appearance?
The following description is of his initial-era appearance/how I typically draw him. For different eras/AUs please check out his navbar!
Ill like he hasn't seen the sun in years and eyes tinted yellow - he looks poor, in all senses of the word. He dresses anachronistically but he manages to make it seem like a new fashion statement, something that sounds less like the word 'antique' and more of the word 'vintage'. Might be his face, a straight nose and small lips, he has a pronounced chin and an angular face shape. He's pale, but has dark undereyes and a more reddened nose. Shiny eyes, though dark. Indiscriminate accent but something European in his enunciation. When he speaks you can see a flash of sharper-than-average canines. Long-ish hair, cut to his shoulders with longer strands framing his head. Parted on his left side, convienetly showing a scar on his temple with a matching one on his opposite cheek. His hair falls over his right eye often, due to the parting. He has Midnight Black hair - when the light hits it, it almost looks blue. He is missing his left ear but hair has grown long over the missing facet.
A slightly muscular figure with defined shoulders, but still gaunt. He has some body hair but it's not excessive. He has many small scars on his face along with notable ones on his forearms due to self-injury. Along with a large Y-shaped one donning his chest, seperating two very botched double-masectomy scars that almost link together.
