His sun-soaked age is creeping into the lines at the corner of his malachite eyes, though his keen gaze remains clear. Standing on the shorter side for a Midlander sees him often controlling his unkempt blond hair with a headband or hat, so the bangs don't fall into his eyes when looking up to address taller folks. Though he has graduated to an officer position, he has not lost the sharp edge and athletic body of a quick-thinking mariner, throwing a punch as easily as he can throw a smirk through the barely-neat mustache and short beard he supports.
Scars & Markings: A working life has left the Hyur with plenty of scars, though the only ones he shows are those that mar his face: a sharp thin horizontal slice across the bridge of his nose, and the harsher gash that angles down his right cheek. The sailor is tattooed, and has seen to have a constellation wrapping around one of his shoulders, and a curious abstract nautilus shell on his foot.
Voice: His voice is presented as soft, and so when it becomes cold and harsh the crew know that someone has pushed the calm lieutenant into anger. In public he speaks with a Limsan accent with a grating undercurrent (think Toby Stephens's Captain Flint in Black Sails). When in a more private setting, or when he's speaking softly to certain crew mates, his accent falls into a smooth foreign tongue (Spanish, close to Diego Luna's Cassian Andor in Rogue One)
Clothing: When out of the officer's uniform, his garments of choice are light leathers, leaning towards the darker blues, greens, and reds, or going straight to black. Knee-high boots usually complete the outfit. It requires a special set of circumstances for him to be seen without the long leather bracers that adorn his forearms, leaving his fingers bare so he may conduct his work without removing them, and the black leather choker that protects his neck.
At a first meeting the officer comes across as friendly, quick to laugh, and painfully honest. If the situation cannot be joked over, there is a kind word or kinder act employed to smooth the ruffled sea. When observed while undertaking his duties, he is curt, defensive, and hasty to address any threats to his and his own. Among the closest of friends, he shows sincerity and softness, guard only falling around a comfortable few.

The ebon-skinned Miqo'te is as long in twelvemoons as he as tall (which is very). Never seen inland, the strange mannered fisherman keeps to himself when seen, carrying a scent of fish and salt. His speech is strange, akin to the few Sahagin that sue for peace with the Maelstrom.
The violet-accented Elezen that indulges the mortal's desire for more in his Eastern Teahouse has business connections to Tal, though neither enjoy the necessary connection they share.
The officer is rarely seen without his curious carbuncle by his side, and when he is, a hovering bluebird or fluttering butterfly is never far behind.

Tracks may directly relate to the character, or only relate with the sound/lyrics/feel. Please be mindful of your speakers/headphones when playing the music!
■ I will play mature content and themes (violence, sexuality, drug / alcohol use) as long as they're logical in a plot-driven encounter. I'm also fine with coarse and excessive language, temporary injury and incapacitation, or temporary imprisonment. I'm agreeable to most walk-up encounters. The important thing is communication. As long as such thing are discussed as they happen, I'm usually down for the ride
■ Ask about plots or encounters that begin to go into questionable areas. I also tend to shy away from dice rolling as I rarely write combat without communication first
■ I won't play the permanent death of my character, or have Tal become involved in the truly evil side of grey.
Disclaimer
■ Communication is vital to RP. Please feel free to message me in game or on Tumblr with any questions or potential meetings. While RPing, if something is said or discussed or the direction of the scenes makes you feel uncomfortable, please let me know, even if you still wish to continue the scene. Not everything my character says or does reflects my own personal views, and RP should be enjoyable for all parties ^_^
