Tharvix Ember-Keel
Species
Dragonborn (Copper heritage)
Appearance
Tharvix walks like someone who studies cause and consequence: deliberate, toes gripping cobbles for balance, shoulders rolled forward as though always shielding a manuscript. His scales have a dull, verdigris sheen with copper highlights along the crown of his head and the ridges of his spine. He keeps one sleeve perpetually singed and smelling faintly of ozone; small burn-crescents trail the hem as if his fingers touch flame more often than leather. Around his neck he wears a battered magnifying lens on a chain and a folded piece of paper kept in a glass vial—his 'library ticket'. His tail is often looped through the strap of his satchel like an extra hand. He smiles with a slow, sideways baring of teeth that can feel both disarming and slightly predatory. Unexpectedly, his right foreclaw has been replaced by a delicately wrought brass prosthetic shaped like a quill, which gives off tiny sparks when he speaks passionately.
“Measured, peppered with old waterway metaphors and antiquated cataloging terms; his voice rises when excited and grows soft when confessing. He often prefaces statements with 'As the ledger says.”

Voice
“A low, resonant baritone with a metallic undertone; when he laughs it crackles like an ember; his cadence is deliberate and punctuated by soft clicks—possibly the brass quill touching his teeth.”
Clothing
A patchwork duster of waxed cloth and vellum pockets; fingerless gloves caramelized at the edges; a sash of faded library ribbons; low leather boots studded with hammered rune-discs. He layers odd trinkets—bits of boat line, a brass gear, a child's marble—stitched into seams like talismans.
Body Language
Small, precise gestures: smoothing a sleeve to calm himself, dragging his tail along surfaces to steady a point, tilting his head to collect thoughts. When excited he paces in circles, tail coiling faster.
