Silas Vane
Artificer (Alchemist)
Silas Vane
Species
Drow
Appearance
Silas is a striking figure whose presence is signaled by the smell of ozone and overripe fruit. His skin is the color of cooling volcanic glass, slick with a perpetual sheen of protective oils. Unlike most Drow who favor monochromatic elegance, Silas is a walking kaleidoscope; his forearms are stained with unyielding neon-magenta and caustic-yellow dyes from his experiments. He moves with a twitchy, frantic grace, like a spider on a hot plate. Most notably, his hair is not the typical Drow white but has been chemically treated to a shocking shade of electric teal that glows faintly in the dark.
“Clipping his words short, Silas speaks with a rapid-fire staccato. He often replaces emotional descriptors with chemical ones, such as saying he feels 'oxidized' instead of tired.”

Fingertips permanently stained vibrant shades of violet and green

Bioluminescent geometric tattoos across his collarbones
Voice
“High-pitched, raspy, and quick; sounds like dry parchment rubbing together.”
Clothing
He wears a multi-layered apron of displacer beast hide that seems to shimmer and blur at the edges. Underneath, he sports a vest riddled with over fifty tiny glass phials, each corked with wax and held by individual leather loops. His trousers are tucked into heavy boots reinforced with lead toes.
Body Language
Silas constantly fiddles with the vials on his vest and has a habit of leaning in too close to inspect the skin of people he meets, looking for signs of disease or mutation.
