Sable
Warlock, The Great Old One
Sable
Species
Human, mutated and ascendant
Appearance
Sable is a striking, intensely theatrical human whose silhouette seems deliberately composed for an audience that may not exist. They are draped in sweeping midnight-black velvet robes embroidered with drifting constellations of silver thread. The fabric absorbs nearby light, yet the embroidered stars move when no one is looking directly at them. Iridescent crystalline lattice growths trace the left side of their jaw, continuing beneath the skin toward the throat like frozen lightning. One eye is a pale human gray, while the other shimmers with cold void-light and contains no visible pupil. Their fingers occasionally blur and phase-shift into shimmering afterimages, as though reality is struggling to remember their exact shape. Sable moves with slow, ceremonial grace, but their reflection often moves first. Despite the alien alterations and frightening aura, they keep their hands meticulously clean and smell faintly of lavender soap and burned paper.
“Sable speaks in a low, resonant contralto. Their words are measured and intimate, often broken into poetic fragments.”

Voice
“A low, resonant contralto with a delayed echo that sometimes answers before Sable finishes speaking.”
Clothing
A floor-length black velvet robe with silver constellation embroidery, a high collar lined with gray silk, fingerless gloves of translucent oilskin, polished black boots, and a narrow belt holding a ritual knife, spell components, and a collection of labeled glass vials.
Body Language
Sable stands almost perfectly still while speaking, allowing only their hands and eyes to move. When excited, their crystalline growths brighten and their shadow leans toward the person they are addressing. When frightened, they become excessively formal and repeatedly smooth the same fold of velvet.
