Arslanshi Darkside
Species
Tiefling
Appearance
A lean tiefling with a long, elegant frame and the careful stillness of someone who dislikes wasting motion. His dark rose skin has a satin sheen, like polished clay warmed by lamplight. Two swept-back horns curve from his brow in smooth ivory arcs, each wrapped near the base with tiny brass rings that click softly when he turns his head. His hands are unusually memorable: the fingertips are darkened by ink, wax, and alchemical soot, while the palms are callused in neat bands from years of handling locks, ledgers, and ritual cords. He moves with courtly precision, but his tail gives away every emotion, coiling tightly when he lies and tapping the floor when he is pleased. The unexpected contradiction is his smile, which is warm, almost shy, despite the predatory sharpness of his teeth and the unsettling sense that he has already calculated the value of everyone in the room.
“His voice is smooth, low, and carefully paced, with rounded vowels and a gentle cadence that occasionally turns almost sing-song. He pronounces names with unusual care.”

Distinguishing Features
Small brass rings encircle the bases of both horns and make a faint clicking sound when he moves.
His fingertips are permanently stained in overlapping shades of blue-black ink, red sealing wax, and gray soot.
His tail has a pale rose tuft at the tip, which he carefully braids when forced to wait.
He checks the clasp of his scarf before answering any question about his patron.
He smells faintly of cedar smoke, rain-damp paper, and bitter orange peel.
Voice
“A quiet baritone with a soft, rounded musicality, never rushed and rarely louder than necessary. When angered, it becomes gentler rather than harsher, which makes his threats feel more deliberate.”
Clothing
A smoke-blue wool coat cut close to the body, a cream waistcoat with concealed inner pockets, charcoal trousers, and soft black boots with quiet soles. He wears a pale green neck scarf secured by a brass clasp shaped like a closed eye. His gloves are fine gray leather, though he removes them whenever a conversation becomes personal.
Body Language
He keeps one thumb pressed against the smallest brass ring on his left horn. When listening, he angles his head slightly and folds his hands as if protecting an invisible document. His tail curls around chair legs during difficult conversations. When genuinely angry, all movement stops except for a slow adjustment of his cuffs.
