He often wears it loose, perhaps with a braid and bead threaded through it; elsewise, he often ties it back with metal clasps or otherwise decorates it with small, carved beads and baubles. The Xaela's eyes are pale grey, almost mirrored silver, with prominent, dark limbal rings which cause the bright irises to further stand out against his dark and dusky coloring.</div> |

His frame looks built for running - lean and athletic - and he stands tall and confident. Scale patterns mark the bridge of his nose and the bones of his cheeks. His jaw and neck are protected by scales that stretch down to his sternum, as are his outer arms along his shoulders, upper arms, and forearms down to the wrist. More scales protect his back, thighs, calves, ankles, and feet in elaborate, overlapping patterns. Amasar's most readily visible scars mark the outer surface of his left horn, which looks as though it's been scraped, and along the scales and base of the same horn, weakening it with old marks that might once have been cracks. A matching pattern of puncture-like scars on his right forearm - two sets along the outer side and two along the inner side - suggest an old wound from a large beast's teeth. An ugly knot has formed in the scales around Amasar's back at his right shoulder, and the pattern of scales is interrupted further by a downward swipe of claw marks along the right side of his back near his spine. While the knot in his back and the scars at his horn look old, the marks left by claw and tooth look recent - less than a year, at most, and possibly from the same fight. A small, pale burn scar marks the belly of his left forearm.</div> |

He can generally be found in "barbaric" clothing of leathers and furs, gathered and worn for practicality rather than fashion, often undyed and stained with dirt and blood. Probably thanks to his horns, which curl around the sides of his head and point forward alongside his face, Amasar seems to prefer shirts that are loose and open, with freedom of movement and ease of wear - if he wears a shirt at all. He can also be seen in expensive, "modern" clothes, made from cloth and/or dyed, worn for fashion as opposed to strictly for practical purposes, usually because of (or as a result of) a visit to Ul'dah. No matter his state of dress, the Xaela generally adorns himself with a various collection of jewelry, chains, and trinkets, and always arms himself with some weapon or another, often with varying kinds at once. Lately he seems to have taken up a rapier as his primary weapon, although he has also been seen with a spear, a bow, or a set of knives.</div> |

One might describe him as brooding, thanks to the nature of his generally-troubled thoughts, and they probably wouldn't be far off the mark with such a description. He is protective by nature, and settles naturally into the role of father-figure to those he considers friends (regardless of whether or not those friends appreciate the gesture). Strength and weakness are concepts he strives to maximize and minimize, respectively, almost to the point of obsession. As a result, Amasar is almost never found simply loitering around; he spends most of any given day studying, training, practicing, or working, all with the goal of bettering himself. He punishes himself harshly for his failings, and doesn't readily accept praise.

Years of practice in singing for communication have honed his ability to convey emotion and meaning through sound alone, and his bass-baritone voice can easily pick out the right notes to do just that. He finds outright lying, however, to be very difficult to accomplish without being caught - where the melody of his words conflict with their content. As a result, he simply doesn't lie...although he has become a master at manipulating conversations through omission and redirection.</div> |

While his above-all goal of bettering himself might have originated as a result of ambition, now it is simply a driving force - one that is present in almost every decision he makes. Hours of work go into this goal of becoming 'better': better at thinking, questioning, fighting, magic, music. Study, train, practice, learn. Second to this is his devotion to his goddess, the Dusk Mother Nhaama, which serves as a driving force of its own behind the concept of strength: becoming better to serve Mother Nhaama. Finally, if a decision is not governed by strength or serving the Dusk Mother, it is governed by the few promises he has made. If Amasar swears an oath, he will do everything in his power to keep it, even at the risk of his own life. Conversely, he will instantly lose respect for anyone who fails to keep a promise - or those who make promises too freely. In his words, "Circumstances change. Make no promises you cannot keep." Interestingly, while Amasar is slow to trust outsiders - particularly Ishgardians - he tends toward polite mannerisms unless he feels slighted; in those cases, he withdraws into a chilly silence. If pressed further, he isn't afraid to lash out with a sharp tongue, but few things can push him to a truly murderous rage. That variety of anger is reserved for those who threaten the safety of the people he considers under his protection, whether by oath or by friendship.</div> |
