this thing of darkness I acknowledge mine | Kieran's tracker

Kieran is, at first glance, unassuming, having inherited his narrow frame from his drow mother, but he is compact and athletic with lithe muscle and well-practiced grace. His skin is dark, almost a charcoal, the coloration of his elvish heritage strong in his veins. His hair is pure white, shaved close on the sides and the rest of it worn about chin-length or shorter, worn untamed and loose or pulled into a topknot to keep it all from his violet eyes.

His ears are pierced, as is his septum and his lip. The entire left side of his body from shoulder to wrist, down to his ankle, are decorated with dark ink tattoos in an aesthetically pleasing mix of organic and geometric patterns. He keeps himself clean and well-trimmed, having found that appearances matter more than he'd prefer now that he's not some kid on the streets.

The half-drow dresses for ease of movement, silence, and stealth—dark colors, wrapped ankles and wrists, fabric that is soft and flowing. His favored weapons are curved shortswords, both worn at a strategic angle against his back instead of slung low at his hips.

He tends to travel with as little equipment as necessary whenever possible and, while not sensitive to light like his full-bloodied drow relatives, Kieran prefers to wear a hood in the day time.

Kieran, for all of his energy, is a man of careful words. He is not an introverted creature, despite how society has treated him for his heritage, but experience has taught him to be cautious when offering his friendship to others, far too aware of the sting of broken trust and betrayal. When one does make their way through the darkness and beneath the surface into Kieran's heart, they find a loyal and affectionate friend.

He is efficient and ruthless when it comes to self-discipline and work, able to focus on things with a razor's sharpness. He's in possession of an impressively indomitable will, having survived an urchin's life and longing to find for himself some form of inner peace. Some might call his humor surprisingly warm and his laugh, when they hear it, infectious, and others might call his aloofness too gruff and his adventurousness risky.
