alrighty, I'm now in the game! [img]smile.gif[/img] for everyone else, here's a general description of my character.. [img]smile.gif[/img] I won't scare you like I did Larry, heheh.

Name: Liam
Gender: male
Alignment: neutral
Race: human
Class: noble
Age: 29
Height: 7’5’’
Language: common

Character Description:
Liam is a quiet, mysterious man whose silence comes in 3 types – amiable, contemplative, and icy. Rather tall for humans at 7’5’’, he would stand out more if it weren’t for his quiet personality. Coming – according to rumours – from a moderately rich noble family, his aristocratic features include long, strong, tapered fingers, a slender, sleekly muscular build, and a delicate, masculine bone structure to his face. Complimenting his ivory pale skin, his blonde bangs loosely frame his face, with his hair cut in the typical masculine fashion of long on top and shorter in the back. Purposely left a little disheveled, Liam’s hair is nonetheless neat in its mussed, rugged way. Around his right wrist are strange teeth-marked scars, as if some creature with sharp teeth had tried to bite his hand off and failed. The one feature that draws the most attention, however, is his eyes. Coloured an exotic tawny yellow; his slightly narrowed eyes have an almost feral, animalistic glint to them, which has been considered quite attractive with many of the ladies. In the tavern that he occupies on the rough side of town, many men jokingly ask him to visit their daughters or wives to bring them “good luck,” for they know that despite the all the attention, Liam has never shown interest.
Appearing a few years ago, Liam has established himself to be a confident but reserved young noble who supposedly had a fallout with his family, and went to seek his fortune. Although he sticks out in his more richly cut clothes, the locals know better than to provoke him. Liam has become an accepted member of the more common, thieving community, and has somehow gained their trust, making it very difficult to find out anything about him if you are deemed “a threat” to his well-being; unless, of course, you are here on business.
Liam is rumoured to have control of a very deadly and powerful assassin nicknamed “The Man-eater,” after the deadly tigers for his victims are often found with their throat torn out and a blood mark formed into a clawed paw from the victim’s blood next to the body. The locals are not surprised that the young noble has an assassin in his employment, for while he has proven to have excellent fighting skills, Liam is not prone to attack unless provoked. When someone wishes to “do business,” they will be investigated by some locals – without their knowledge – before being presented with a clawed paw medallion, which they are to give to Liam. This way, he knows that they are not out to get him, either as a bounty hunter out to kill his assassin, or someone sent from his “family.”
Every once in awhile Liam will disappear for a few weeks or so, but the locals just took it into account as part of his eccentric behavior. He can usually be found sitting by himself at a table for two with his goldenrod cloak brushed back and a tankard of mulled wine lightly grasped in both hands, either making quips with the locals or sitting silently at the “Cold Hearte’d Snake,” a well known tavern in the roughest part of town.

I know there's a name for this type of haircut, but no one will tell me! It's the secret of the universe! -.-

Visible Inventory/Equipment:
Soft, worn black leather boots
Black, supple belt
Black leather armour
Reversible hooded cloak, shadow black on one side, goldenrod yellow on the other
Ornate dagger (looks like a pouncing tiger, with its forelegs and jaws holding the blade between them and the rear legs forming the pommel; the tiger’s eyes are of yellow topaz) in a sheath – mostly for show
Soft, loosely form-fitting black pants
Goldenrod, silken artist’s smock (billowy shirt with loose sleeves gathered at the wrists) over the light armour
Black wrappings down arms, torso, and legs, stopping at the wrists and ankles (underneath clothing and armour; same colour as armour)
Soft black leather pouch, probably containing money

Now.. to scheme up a post [img]smile.gif[/img]
