Prydain Kross
Species
Dragonborne
Appearance
Prydain is a tall dragonborne with lacquer-black scales that catch red and bronze highlights whenever he moves. His horns sweep backward in smooth, polished arcs, each ridged like carved sandalwood, and the tips are capped with tiny gold rings that chime when he turns his head. He smells faintly of smoked cedar, citrus peel, and expensive ink, a scent he pretends not to notice while quietly checking whether others do. His movements are impossibly economical: a robe settles before he stops, a hand arrives at a cup before anyone sees him reach for it, and he can cross a crowded chamber without brushing a single sleeve. His most unexpected feature is his softness. Beneath the regal scales, his cheeks are round and expressive, and when genuinely delighted he laughs with an undignified snort that he immediately disguises as a cough.
“His voice is a warm, low baritone with a slight rasp at the edges, like velvet dragged over stone. He pauses before important words, not because he is searching for them but because he wants everyone to notice that he chose them.”

Distinguishing Features
Gold rings chime softly against his horn tips when he turns.
His scales carry a natural cedar-smoke scent that grows stronger when he is stressed.
He has a habit of smiling at the exact moment another person realizes they have been outmaneuvered.
A thin line of pale scales runs from his lower jaw to the center of his chest like a deliberate brushstroke.
His laughter begins as a dignified rumble and often ends in an embarrassing snort.
Voice
“Warm, low, polished, and intimate, with a faint rasp that becomes more pronounced when he is angry. Before speaking, he often draws in a slow breath through his nose, as though weighing the scent of a lie.”
Clothing
A sleeveless coat of deep aubergine silk over flexible charcoal training wraps, embroidered with bronze flame motifs. He wears a high white collar, soft lacquered sandals, six signet rings, and a chain of office draped like a sash. Every garment is immaculate, yet the inner hem of his coat is patched with visibly mismatched thread by his own hand.
Body Language
He keeps his spine relaxed and his chin slightly raised, as though every room has been arranged for his entrance. His tail draws slow circles when he is amused and goes perfectly still when he has identified a lie. When someone he loves is endangered, his vanity vanishes entirely and his body becomes quiet enough to seem absent.
