A relatively tall Au Ra, he is somewhat slender but still obviously still in good shape, sporting a toned, wiry physique. His dark blue hair fades to black at the end - most likely dyed, although he doesn't seem the type to care about such things. Most often it is held in braids, and on the few instances when it is not hair that would otherwise be straight instead falls in slight waves. His eyes are grey, edged by black limbal rings. He often wears a passive expression which - unfortunately (fortunately) - may come across as hostile to others. As would be expected of Xaela, his horns, scales and tail are black.
Voice: Low and just a little bit gruff, he almost always speaks quietly, and on the few occasions when he raises his voice above it's usual volume it is not difficult to tell that he is unaccustomed to doing so.
Clothing: He has a preference for medium to dark clothing in neutral tones and avoids bright or vibrant colours when he can. He usually likes semi-intricate coats or vests, long enough to fall to his knees, which are often adorned with a small amount of embroidery along their edges. Otherwise, his clothes are quiet plain. Often he'll wear clothes with short sleeves, or no sleeves. When he does wear long sleeves, he will typically wear a sleeveless jacket over top. He typically wears his pants tucked into simple leather boots. Most of the time he can be seen with leather wrappings on his arms, which are not quite long enough to reach his elbows. He wears quite a few rings, although they seem to be the same ones day to day. An observer might conclude that they are likely valuable. Most are likely made of silver, but one or two appear to be gold. None of them are completely plain. Some have coloured stones set within them, but many are bands, covered in intricate patterns. While it is difficult to see, someone with a sharp eye might notice a piece of cord around his neck, indicating a necklace worn under his shirt.
Ambaghai is quiet and withdrawn, generally avoiding conversation with people he’s unfamiliar with. When he does speak to others, he’s usually short-spoken, getting straight to the point, and avoiding any nuance. Generally he is polite, but occasionally his lack of understanding of social conventions may make him come across as hostile, angry, or annoyed. Although he is not an open person, he is loyal, and doesn’t make a habit of letting petty squabbles get in the way of his ability to work with people. He is impulsively honest, and a terrible liar. Although he is good at keeping his expression neutral, any lies will quickly reveal themselves in his body language, or a change in his pattern of speech.
While he doesn’t tend to let many people get close to him, those that are around him often enough might notice small, quiet acts of kindness that indicate he might not be quite as cold and detached as first impressions might have one believe. These small acts may include feeding stray animals, change handed to beggars, or a hot drink left on a table, obviously meant for the person who discovered it, although Ambaghai is nowhere in sight.
Those who Ambaghai feels comfortable around, and decides to let into his life a little more than most might get to see a hesitant smile, often touched with a hint of sadness, typically gone within a few seconds. They might also begin to see hints of dry humor, typically found in lines worded in such a way that the joke could almost be missed.
He does smile and laugh, although this is usually only in the presence of his brother, and even then, he is unlikely to do so if there are others around.
Finally, Ambaghai is proud, and a little bit stubborn. While he will often help others without their needing to ask him, he will generally avoid asking anyone for help, and might even go so far as to actively pretend that he does not need it. Should help be offered to him, however, he is typically capable of accepting.
Likes
'Observing'. He is typically content sitting on the side lines of crowded places, often in his own thoughts. If asked what he is doing he will answer 'observing', although this is rarely the case.
Sweets. Mostly pastries and fruit. He tends to try to hide his sweet tooth, often attempting to partake of sweets subtly. He has been known to do odd things such as eating sugar cubes whole, while leaving his coffee black.
Drawing. Something his mother taught him. He finds it meditative, and in some cases therapeutic. Most of his drawings are of the same few Xaela, or of scenery of the Steppe, as well as some of the places he has traveled since leaving home.
Dislikes
Drunks. They're loud, obnoxious, and occasionally throw up on you. Or dare other men to spank you.
Pride.
Particularly, the type of pride that makes people think they're above others. Or the type of pride that makes one believe it's their right to rule another's life.
Idiots. How can people be so dense?
Fears
Being alone. Tying into this, his greatest fear is losing his brother.
Making mistakes. He wants to be reliable, needs to do things right.
Failure. See above.

Personal RP Limits
■ I will play mature content and themes (violence, sexuality, drug / alcohol use) as long as they're logical in a plot-driven encounter. Coarse and excessive language. Temporary injury and incapacitation. Temporary imprisonment. Most walk-up encounters.
■ Ask about long-term and/or permanent injury and disfigurement. Long-term captivity or imprisonment.
■ I won't play permanent character death or rape plots. No ERP.
Disclaimer
■ If an aspect of RP makes you uncomfortable in a scene we're playing, please send me a /tell, letting me know. Communication is very important, more important than potentially keeping immersion.
