Current Character Description - Tarran Atherton

Clearly a young man, only recently come of age, Tarran nevertheless displays a level of confidence reminiscent of someone much older, possessed of experience and knowledge beyond his years. Slightly taller than average, and slender for a human, his movements bely a distinctive grace, a smoothness that only the best trained fighters can hope to achieve. His clothing is of fine quality, if plain, and he definitely shows a preference for the color black; his flowing black tunic and pants give him an almost shadowy appearance, although he does not seem like the type to hide often. Then again, perhaps he only seems that way when not hidden. He has dark, slightly wavy hair, cut to shoulder-length, and sparkling brown eyes, resembling his parents'. A smile comes readily to his handsome, chiseled features, clean-shaven as always, as clearly he is one to take good care of himself. At his waist are belted a pair of worn leather- hilted shortswords concealed within tooled black leather sheaths; the unadorned hilt of at least one dagger is also visible on his person. His demeanor is pleasant, almost exuberant, but there is an intensity in his gaze, and he gives the impression of dangerous competence, a man who others would be wise not to cross.
