The Face

He has golden yellow eyes, set slightly farther apart than a human's, with thick black lashes. Prominent cheekbones give him an aristocratic look, unless he hasn't been eating well lately, in which case aristocratic turns quickly into gaunt (as is true of the rest of his race, as well). Pointed teeth are natural (not vampire levels, but definitely longer and sharper than human), but the pointed nails are just fashionable. His hair is grayed to silver and thinned a little, having previously been thick and black. His ears are long, with a twist at the tips, and each is pierced with three gold hoops. They perk with interest and sink with disappointment, but aren't quite at the Furby-level of constant movement. The scar starts thin above his right eye and crosses the bridge of his nose, to end broad and ugly under his left eye. It's hard to say what caused it.

The Outfit

He's not picky about his clothing since showing up in game, as long as it 1) involves long sleeves, full pants legs, and a high neckline, and 2) includes gloves. All of his clothing involves this, and if he needs bare hands for anything, he only takes off his right glove. Perfectly normal skin under that one.

Sans Outfit

Mostly modest nudity! His metal parts move almost soundlessly, but listening closely will uncover the faint sound of hydraulics and metal fitting into metal. The same is true of his skin-side, but even more faint. Now and then sharp movements get clicks. The metal is expertly crafted and designed, stainless steel and in excellent condition. The skin opposite of it is marked with a lot of scarring, which is just as hard to read the origin of as the scar on his face. A "Y" shape at the center of his chest is the only one with stitch marks.

Build

He's short (5'4"), but proportioned to be slender with wiry muscles. He looks like someone who has seen regular exercise for most of his life, and moves with a casual grace which is part racial and part close familiarity with a very graceful form of martial arts. He's well balanced at all times, and his movements tend to be both flamboyant and fluid. And completely counterintuitively, he weighs 316 lbs (all that metal!).

Voice

A pleasant tenor, expressive and lilting, with a light and flowery accent. Could reasonably be compared to a Portuguese accent, if there was a Portugal in his world. His English is accented lightly enough to be easily understood, though.

Body Language

He's nearly always gesticulating, sometimes even leaning his upper body into it. He leans in and out of personal space bubbles, and is rarely standing still, preferring to slide around as he speaks. It's not unusual for him to hold a conversation from five different points around someone. He's also fond of touching people, and will drape an arm around a shoulder or lay a hand on a forearm for emphasis. All motions are smooth and flowing, and a little flamboyant.
