One of many minor messengers serving the god Hakeshna.

{PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION}
Build; Long and lanky, with considerable flexibility and fluidity to his movements.

Color; Deep brown skin, with rich brown-black hair. His eyes almost defy description, with fluid shifts of magentas, purples and ruby-reds.

Alterations; Presently, the Messenger is very much in human shape.

Modifications; The Messenger has several piercings, all bright gold, in his ears and one stud set in his left nostril. His arms and legs are covered in sleeves of tattoo ink, with interlocking almost scale-like lines going from his upper arms down to the tops of his hands, and similarly from his thighs to his feet. Each crossing of the lines is set with dotting, and the end of the tattooing at the top of his arm and thighs is an oroboros band.

Dress; Bright and colorful, with particular favoritism towards rich blues and ruby-reds. He wears plenty of jingling jewelry, and the bangles along his wrists and ankles make an almost bell-like sound as he walks. Over his clothes he wears what appears to be a long, seamless length of fabric, wrapped around his chest and draped over his shoulders to dangle against his back like wings. On his forehead is a single smear of blood-red paint, and his eyes are lined with kohl. As a matter of propriety, the Messenger keeps veiled at most times while in public as befitting his station of servitude.

{PERSONALITY}
Calm, introspective, quiet, vengeful.

Fun Facts!:
  • This isn't the first time he's walked as a human, but it's certainly the longest amount of time he's spent as such.

{SPECIAL ABILITIES}
His more robust abilities often require him to shed his mortal form, but that's usually too painful/mind-breaking for mortals to look upon, so he avoids that as much as possible. But, fairly typical for an angel - healing, flight, and the kind of longevity that makes him a bit outside of human experience and just this side of Too Alien.
Not being mortal or even natural to the world itself, he has no need for food, drink, or sleep.

{RELATIONSHIPS}
Hakeshna - the Essyrni god of land, sky, and sea, and the head of the Essyrni cosmology. The Messenger has never met nor spoke with Hakeshna, being far too minor for such an honor.

Salman al-Niafi; The reed-cutter. Husband to Aylin and father of Basma, Samiya, and Habib. A devoted, generous man. Deceased.

Aylin al-Niafi; The Wife. A patient, kindly woman. Deceased.

Basma ibnat Salman; The eldest daughter, responsible and honest. Deceased.

Samiya ibnat Salman; The second-eldest. Hard-working, a bit of a temper, but a good heart. Deceased.

Habib ibn Salman; The son. A sweet little boy, only four years old. Deceased.

{HISTORY}
There is a man in the world who does not belong there, and the Messenger aims to correct that mistake.
