Izrin Falel
A traveling komodi apothecary and card reader. Izrin travels with his young child, Sirih, making a life for himself outside of clan culture.
Appearance
Izrin is flashy, even for a komodi. Fortunate to have been born with a beautiful blue color and fine, supple scales, he stands out even among his own kind. His scales are a warm blue, though his hair grows out with a greenish tint. The insides of his mouth and ears, as well as his horns, are purplish in color.Like most komodi, Izrin's features are rather androgynous. More pretty than handsome, he has a mix of masculine and feminine traits: long, flat planes with softened angles, big ruby eyes with long dark lashes, a wide mouth with full lips and a playful curl. His chest and shoulders are narrow but triangular, but taper into fuller hips and lean legs. Izrin dresses and presents as masculine, though his anatomy remains hermaphroditic.
Skills and Abilities
Frond. One of the reasons Izrin travels independent from a clan is the fact that he suffers from stage three Frond's Syndrome. He completely lacks the ability to spray venom or use fire breath.Cirling's Disease. Fortunate only in that the signs of the disease began later in life, Izrin is suffering the early stages of this arthritic disease. He is slower in the morning than usual, his joints achingly stiff until he gets warmed up and going, and his hands are often tight and stiff. He does his best to stretch out his hands, but is knows what's coming.
Tarot. Though unable to use magic, Izrin is a skilled reader of the cards -- and, more importantly, of people. There is no magic in his readings, just a familiarity with his deck and his keen eye for details. He also plays a mean game of cards to those willing to play with a komodo.
Fiddle. In spite of his stiffening hands, Izrin still plays a mean fiddle.
Personality
A truly colorful character outwardly, Izrin is all smiles and courtesy. He makes his way outside of his tribal culture by suffering the scathing patronage of other races and swallows his bitterness and vexation. Flirty and patient, he goes out of his way to flaunt his flash and charm to his advantage when dealing with potential clients.In private, however, Izrin is a rather serious fellow. Though not mean, he is certainly not the flamboyant and playful creature he is when dealing with others. With a jaded past and a solitary lifestyle, he might be a far darker person if it weren't for his child, Sirih. Izrin is a devoted and patient parent, and goes to great lengths to provide for Sirih and raise them as a true komodi, in spite of their lonely lifestyle.
