Silver's Creative Compendium Revamped

Standing at a prominent 5'11", this shadowy figure remains perfectly still save for the quill in his hand constantly scrawling in a leather-bound book. His eyes are unseen, as is most of his face due to the dark green cloaks he wears; hood up to obscure his face. His left hand is marked with some intricate words in a language entirely foreign. If one were to approach, however, one would see naught but faint traces of pale skin and neatly cut dark brown hair. The lower half of his face is obscured by a mask, and his eyes seem perpetually lost to the shadow of his hood. What would happen if it were removed?

With two turquoise-colored eyes as wide as the stars themselves, Marina stands comfortably, albeit a little shakily, at 5'6". Fair-skinned with a slender face, her beautiful milk-chocolate colored hair is worn in an elaborate braided bun. Usually adorned in a conservative fashion, she is usually seen in teals and lavenders, the shaping magnifying the subtle curves of her feminine figure. Those that gaze upon her state, without a doubt, that she carries a sense of regality that is heightened by her quiet and reserved nature. There is, however, a certain sense of fear lying just beneath the surface; a calamity within that threatens to break free at any moment. Will it be let go? And what shall become of her if such a thing were to occur?

"And when the man's voice finally stopped echoing in the room, all eyes drawn to the stairwell, a woman made solely of angles and bones took her first step. Resplendent light danced off her tall figure, shining like a goddess and dressed rightly so: fine silks colored just so that sunsets and rises would be green with envy at first glance, golden chains studded with diamond, and––just above her bosom––a fabulous crystal unlike any other jewel she wore. Golden in color it went unmatched by everything but her eyes, which shared the golden hue but commanded attention with flecks of red-orange. Like her figure, they too were sharp, but they masked something else in her visage. Something that resonated with none of her bodily fixings, but rather matched the waterfall of carmel that framed her face. From the distance, it seemed soft... vulnerable almost... as if one had arranged it with the tenderest care in fear of damaging it beyond repair. Yes, that something else silently spoke a sense of fragility: the very thing no one would speak of, much less take notice of. The very something that would transform this night from a dire sin into an act of sanctity." – Excerpt from The Spellbinder's Tapestry

"Draped in robes the color of the night sky, the woman seemed to blend into the eternal darkness that surrounded her. She would have been lost entirely were it not for the violet streams of energy that rose from the extensive runes around her. Through the dim light, the duo could see that, beyond the pained concentration that consumed her visage, the rest of her appearance was quite unlike her clothing. Her hair, pink as the sky stroked by the setting sun, shone with a certain luminance, although whether this quality occurred naturally or was the result of a thick sheen of sweat remained to be seen. A sudden surge of azure essence appeared from within the circle of runes, the energy clinging to the ground as if it were eating away at the earth. At this, her eyes, the very same color as the energies they were focused upon, practically sparkled with delight. "Yes," she muttered. "Come to me, I beg of you!" – Excerpt from Crisis Core: Resonance of Chaos

A once fair youth, Nath, although unmarred by scar or blemish, seems to have undergone some event which has left his very essence wounded. Though garbed in the softest and purest white cloaks, his skin, a creamy white, has almost a calloused feel to it, almost like sandpaper in a way. His mannerisms relate extraordinarily well to this quality for those in his presence can not deny the tension and roughness that accompanies him. This effect is further enhanced by his eyes which, once bright and full of hope, display on a cold indifference to match their icy hues. If one were to remove the hood from his cloak, they would find that once perfect blond hair has been tainted; now a deep sandy blonde with a few violently dark streaks, it has been cut without care and and remains a shaggy mess. However, none of these features stand out quite as much as the once marvelous pair of wings that grace his slender yet sturdy figure. Before the incident, a heavenly white bathed in ether; now they sit still functioning but muddied, mostly brown with a few black and even dark red colored feathers speckling the tarnished span.

Rather small in stature, but carrying an extensive imagination, Anastasia's tiny figure seems to encompass the world easily. Long, jet black hair sprawls from the top of her head, elegantly cut just so that it flows to her shoulders; her bangs are never out of place.

Seldom one to lay down roots anywhere, Trys spent much of his life wandering from place to place under the wind's "guidance." In his travels he had always kept a single motto: Paths converge for a reason; with that in mind, it comes as little surprise that those that those who came in contact with him found an undeniable connection. His gentle nature and ever-present compassion for the world around him left many with a similar outlook on life. Be it a traveling merchant, band of mercenaries, a lord and his entourage, or even just common townspeople, no one met him without feeling just slightly more content with life. Whenever Trys would stumble upon someone new, he gave them kindness––stories of the earth's blessings uniting under one mysterious traveler passed through word of mouth many a time before his death. Anyone who happened to know him, whether his name was known to the individual or not, was left with verdant pastures, cleaner water, gentle breezes, and an eagerness to prosper further. One village he visited in particular, many a mile from any other sign of human life, had been teetering on the edge for several months before he made his way to it. Sickness had plagued the township; man, beast, and earth alike grew sicker each day, all perishing to a disease of unknown origin. Three weeks Trys stayed in the town, gently coaxing the earth into returning to its proper station for the people. Each day, however, saw little progress, while the miracle man himself grew weaker in weaker. In the end, he too contracted the enigmatic disease, but he cared not for his fate. In his final hours, Trys used all of his energy to bring about a paradisal change in the village. Whether the Gods took pity on him, or if it actually worked remains a question there today, but it is known that when Trys fell into Death's icy grasp that little by little all the disease faded until finally the last remnants disappeared on a flowing wind.

Garbed in a off-gray colored cloak that billows around him, Silv stands (or rather poises lower than) at 5'9" with a certain air of nimbleness. Truly a character light on his feet, he wears black boots and a formfitting shirt/pants combination of a similar (albeit very slightly different) color. He wears a silver chain around his neck with no trinket and a small metal stud in his right ear. Attached to his hip by a leather strap sit three sheathes, all containing daggers of various enchantments and metal, although none of these ever find true use on the battlefield. Why he bothers to keep them around at all is a mystery. Beyond his random accessories and equipment, however, are his features: most of the time covered by a scarf-like wrapping, his pale face and angular jaw are rather fierce-looking when revealed. This quality lingers throughout the rest of him, as his blue-green eyes maintain a sense of critical judgement and indifference. His hair, an orangeish-blond cut semi-short and spiky, also matches this sort of "bite me" feel to him. Last, but certainly not least, a crescent shaped scar cuts through his right eyebrow (both of which are fine and seemingly tweaked) and ends just shortly after his cheekbone.

Thief's Tome: Carries a blank tome ready to harbor the most nefarious trick a thief could ever pull: stealing another's own magic. The user has a specialized equipment slot known as Thief's Tome. Although blank and void of purpose initially, the user may utilize the [Trigger Command: Steal Magick] once per battle to swipe a magic-based (be it based on Int-Damage or simply a spell-based ability) from the target and fill the slot permanently, allowing the user to utilize that skill at any time for its required costs and consequences thereby also sealing the target's ability to access the spell.

No Damage. 99% Chance of Silence so long as the target has no immunity. If the target is immune to Silence, the target's magical attacks and spell have a high chance of disruption. Boss targets have the secondary effect reduced to a minimal chance. Range: Single Enemy. ? MP.

Donning a brown jacket, green tank, boots, and a tattered pair of shorts, Medli's lithe figure typically remains unrestricted; the close-fitting, easily moved-in clothing enables her to perform at top level at the cost of revealing quite a bit of of her lightly-tanned skin. Not that she minds––her enemies won't be seeing much for long anyway. Her russet-colored hair remains elegantly cut short in a bob, her bangs and other loose strands of hair kept pulled back by a bandana that matches her top. Lastly her eyes are the color of sapphires. Although generally pleasant and very feminine, she usually contorts her face into a rougher look more befitting of her profession, ultimately giving her whole demeanor a sort of rough-and-tumble feel.

Shrouded in an air of discomfort, yet astonishingly able to perform as he must for the current task at hand with ease, Chase is somewhat of an enigma. His roundish face carries a pained expression more often than not; this feature is amplified by his thin lips (the bottom of which usually gets caught between his teeth), frighteningly pale lily-white skin tone, his extremely delicate figure, and typical gothic apparel. He does, however, combat the perceptions of his outward appearance with two features: the first his eyes. Electric blue and hauntingly beautiful, his gaze is not easily forgotten, be it turned toward someone in contempt or compassion. His hands, the second of his opposite features, look just as delicate until one notices his palms and fingers. Calloused yet elegant, he never wastes a hand gesture––every movement poised due to years of playing the violin.

Reference

Standing tall at 5'11" with a curious air of authority despite his quiet demeanor, Aaron bears the look of a gentleman at all times. Perfectly coiffed black hair seems to stand back on its own, perfectly contrasted by his bright, golden eyes. A beauty mark rests just under his right eye. His skin is a fair white––note exceedingly light tan––and his hands have the slightest feminine look to them. He wears a bangle on his left arm (although he writes and leads with his right) and typically clothes himself in dark greens and muted blues. He also wears easily moved in shoes that almost look like slippers.

Delicately slender and fair-skinned, Eilonwy stands at 5'4", bearing a strangely mature eloquence for her young age. Her lips are thin but decorated with a very pale pinkish gloss, and her cheeks are still rounder with youth. A light dash of blush keeps them looking rosy. Her eyes, which always maintain a sense of bright wonder contrasted by a serious nature (out of necessity), are the color of milk chocolate and teeter between trapped and free from a pair of spectacles which seem to big for her. Reddish-brown hair would pour from her head to just below her shoulders if it were not confined with a simple ribbon, a few loose strands falling out of her semi-sloppy bun. She wears an ivory colored dress with a tan bodice and black shoes, although most of this is hidden by her cloak which is a deep purple color.

Harsh dark blue-green eyes and a strong, albeit feminine, jaw are the first features anyone focuses on upon seeing the Azure Star in the flesh. If these features alone did not radiate authority, her impressively athletic build, 6'2" height, steady voice, and natural intimidating presence dominates any space she enters. Clad in grayish-blue plate armor from torso to toe, Alessia moves with the utmost grace––almost like a dancer as she approaches the battlefield. Were her hair allowed to fall loosely, it too would move in the same fluid manner; instead, however, her shoulder-length dark brown hair is often tied into an intricate bun.

Depending on his current terrain, Aquatic Silver (or Aqua Silv for short) appears very different. On dry land he appears as any other human being would, standing roughly at 5'9" with gentle air about him. His gray eyes are generally calm and seem to focus on something distant; his hair, a touch darker than chestnut brown, falls messily to the bottom of his neck––his bangs are cut haphazardly but in an endearing fashion. Lightly tanned and fairly thin––slender more so than toned. His gait is fairly clumsy, but not overly so. To combat this he wears a pair of quick-drying shorts that are cut off just before the knee and some off-color tank top––they offer the fullest range of movement and keep him from getting tripped up. He prefers to walk barefoot.

However, when he occupies the water these properties change. His pupils expand and the gray color of his eyes turns more silver than anything else. His hair remains fairly the same, a shade or three darker, but this is contrasted by his skin which becomes covered in greenish-blue scales. He sprouts gills on the side of his neck and his hands and feet take on a webbed quality. He's definitely more comfortable swimming than walking.
