{PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION}

• Golden boy; Rho is of the House Phaeton, and thus, he is super sunshiney in hue. With golden-brown skin and unnaturally yellow hair, all the way down to his eyelashes, which frame bright, almost glowing eyes, it's hard not to pick him out of a crowd. Even his insides pack the same hue— with literally golden blood, his gums and tongue are less pink and more a kind of daffodil hue, in contrast to his teeth which are almost pearlescent. Genuinely, nothing about Rho is unlike looking directly at the sun itself.
• Inked; While the brown ink might not hold much contrast against his skin, there's no mistaking the tattoos that sit just beneath his eyes and on his throat, a series of symbols from his homeland denoting his lineage, for as much as that actually matters now. (Spoiler: it doesn't.)
• Armored; Rho doesn't often go out in less than his usual gear. He prefers his leathers and furs to anything else, feeling a bit naked if he's only got simple clothes on. That being said, nothing of what he owns in terms of armor is really that remarkable. It's dark and weathered, worn over scores of years and scores of altercations, if all the little nicks and grooves are anything to go by.

{PERSONALITY}

• Pointed; One might go so far as to call Rho "snarky", but that might not be entirely accurate. He doesn't care much for hemming and hawing and sparing feelings when it's not necessary. Far from going out of his way to be mean, or purposely trying to get a rise out of people, Rho just doesn't see the point in honeying his words for no reason.
• Graceful; Despite his age and despite his ability, Rho's not a showoff. If he has something to say for himself, it's because it has relevance. You might call it humility, but honestly it's because he's just too tired to go around blowing hot air.
• Fierce is a nice way of saying stubborn; Rho sticks to his guns. When he makes up his mind, it's very difficult to get him to change it, especially when he thinks his decision is 'for the best'.
• Tired, like, all the time.

Fun Facts!:

• Likes sewing, especially when he's upset.
• Cheese is the best invention ever.
• Hates the hot weather of southern summers. Just kill him now pls.
• Strongly carnivorous, like the rest of his kind.

{SPECIAL ABILITIES}
Standard elf things; heightened senses of sight and hearing, rapid reflexes, quick movements, agility, etc.
A little over 200 years of practice with fighting, no big whoop. He strongly prefers spears, if he has a choice. Makes for handy hunting in the wilderness.


{RELATIONSHIPS}
A bibi and an opo, and a few siblings in between.

{HISTORY}
Sometimes you just gotta follow your heart. Even if that means giving up everything you've ever known and heading off into completely uncharted territory populated by those weird human folk.
