Vaelis Thorn
Blade Master, custom martial archetype
Vaelis Thorn
Species
Half-Elf
Appearance
Vaelis is a tall, narrow-shouldered half-elf with the poised stillness of a drawn blade. His skin has the warm gray tone of old parchment, crossed by fine silver scars that form almost perfect geometric lines along his throat, wrists, and cheekbones. His black hair is slicked back with scented oil, though a single white lock always falls over his left eye no matter how carefully he pins it. His movements are economical and nearly silent, each turn of the wrist seeming rehearsed for an audience. He leaves an impression of immaculate control, yet his hands are stained permanently with bright blue ink, as if he has just finished signing a child's birthday card.
“His voice is low, polished, and carrying, with the precise rhythm of a practiced stage announcement. He rarely uses contractions.”

Distinguishing Features
Silver geometric scars across his throat and cheek
A white lock of hair that refuses to remain pinned
Permanent blue ink stains on both hands
A crescent-shaped burn over his heart
A smile that appears warm until the listener realizes it is perfectly practiced
Voice
“Low, resonant, and controlled, with the carrying projection of a veteran stage performer. His warmth is real but rationed, and his anger is expressed through immaculate diction.”
Clothing
A midnight-blue tailcoat lined in red silk, a high ivory collar, silver chainwork, polished black boots, and a crimson half-cape clasped with a crescent moon brooch. His gloves are mismatched, one white and one black, each embroidered with tiny legal symbols.
Body Language
Vaelis stands with one hand resting lightly on his cane sword and the other folded behind his back. He tilts his head when listening, never interrupts, and smiles only after deciding how useful the speaker might become. During anger, his posture becomes perfectly relaxed.
