Body Features

His right arm is horrendously scared as if all the skin had been peeled off and now there seems to be ivory plates and slinters place as cover to the wounds with skin growing around and over them to as they are part of his skin now.

Facial Features

Most of the time he keeps his face covered behind a leather and and fabric covering, that is part of the armour's hood, during combat and travel. When it is down, his right ear appears as if it was melted down and is smaller than the other and this scaring and Ivory armoring continuous up the arm and will slightly poke out from the pack of the armour to the base of the skull on the right side. His face is very pale making it hard at times to notice the ivory shards. His nose, brow and chin are chiseled and more pointed showing that one of his parents was pure-blood elf.

Identifying Characteristics

All down his spine there are tattoos of raven wings, a set that seems to sprout from each vertebrae as if his spine was a branch that dozens of ravens have just landed on. the wings of the one that extends from the first thoracic vertebrae look as if the disperse into wisps of black shadows and extend down the arms and begin to form into wholes on the palms that look as if they are pits. If one stares at them hard enough it looks as if the black in swirls.

Special abilities

Every morning Declan faces away from the rising sun and pulls his dagger. He then summons shadow stuff from his palms and lifts the dagger into the air about 6" from his palms as he re-affirms his patronage to the Raven Queen and asks her to bless the blade that it may bring her the souls destined for her guidance.

Apparel & Accessories

All of his equipment is black leather with studding of Ivory, sourced from some creature. The leathers are many overlapping pieces of hard black leather embroidered and shaped as feathers. There is minimal embroidery of silver on some of the edges but all the buckles are of the same Ivory. His armour has an integrated leather hood that can be pulled up and cover the face to make it look a little like a raven's head. Declan wears a black cloak as well that has a deep hood along with a quiver on his hip and one silvered dagger that fits tight under some of the folds in his armour. On his back he carries a metal shield that has the same Ivory white looking embroideries as well as more overlapping leather. The shield is semi in the shape of a wings. Most that look at him see no weapon and only the Quiver being carried with now bow or crossbow.
