Appearance

Physical Description

Athletic build. He works out to keep fit, relieve stress, and stay agile. Because of this, he has some notable muscle but doesn't work to specifically build extra.

Identifying Characteristics

Long black hair most frequently straightened and styled in an up-do that consists of bump in front and the back tied in to a bun/ponytail hybrid. When down and unstyled, his slightly wavy hair reaches mid-back.

Physical quirks

Very straight posture from both his time in the guard and generally vain nature.

Known to slouch at times when conflicted or in deep thought.

He tends to square up his shoulders when ready for action or has found new direction in some dilemma he has been mulling over.

Apparel & Accessories

APPAREL

Des loves fashion and feels good when he looks good. However, he does not have much opportunity to wear anything that isn't practical (with the exception of capes, which he will eagerly add to any outfit). Most commonly wearing a simple loose button-up tucked in to slim black jeans which are in turn tucked in to mid-calf laced boots. Plus the cape, of course. He will also argue up and down that the cape is in fact very practical as it helps hide his equipment but we all know he's just making up excuses.


He is particularly fond of wearing black, gold, and navy blue (as they bring out his eyes).




EQUIPMENT
 
Nowadays, Des hardly ever leaves the base without his equipment, even when heading to his simple retail job or running a quick errand. He wears fine-mesh scale mail under his shirt, a scimitar belted at his hip, and a collapsible shield strapped to his forearm. Within a messenger bag he'd keep other equipment like a special champion's arrow, spare bolts, and his Hornet--a collapsible, wearable crossbow--and the Tinkerpalm--a glove that helps to amplify his shocking grasp cantrip. When going out on a job or anywhere else trouble is more expected, he would also bring along his Sentinel Shield and simple long bow.

Special abilities

Desiel was gifted a champion's arrow by the goddess Avandra. However, with no trainer and his goddess having very limited power, he is still working out exactly how it can be used and what it can do.
 
In general, Des has a poor understanding of magic but has managed to learn one cantrip--Shocking Grasp.
