Fort Weyr

Real talk, y'all. In life, they say, there are some people who need hard lessons, and there are some people who are the hard lesson. ICly, M'zal is both of these things. M'zal's story, whatever it ends up being, will have no magic switches and no drastic turnarounds, unless there's an OOC comfort factor to accommodate. The top of his niceness scale is "apathy." From there, thing swing down and down. It's my hope as the player that this variety of character will be able to offer unique growth opportunities for other characters. That being said, please only engage as you are comfortable and I will be glad to communicate with you about what that is or isn't, to include M'zal's not joining a scene, or slipping out of a scene, if it makes it less than fun on the OOC side of things for anyone involved.

Just look at those baby blues! The most notable feature of this face that manages to mesh boyish sweetness with a man's self-assurance are those vivid blue eyes, framed by long, brown lashes and set off by straight brown brows above. Thick, medium ash brown hair is permanently rumpled despite its short-cropped style at the top of his 6'0" athletically muscular frame. The long planes of forehead and cheeks and blunt angles of jaw and face are softened by a cleft in his chin, soft pink lips and a slightly too short nose that rounds at the tip. Though his skin is the kind that pales in winter and tans well in summer, his cheeks always hold enough of a hint of a blush to lend him even more youthful appeal. The effect is contradicted and tempered by his perpetual five o'clock shadow. Down his neck just behind his left ear and stretching down to the top of his collar is a black-inked tattoo: a scalpel. In the same position on the opposite side a trio of not quite parallel lines drift toward his collar sinuous and silvery, though these are ridged scars, not an image of ink.

M'zal's functional attire does little to draw the eye except the most straight-laced, having a tendency to look somehow just a little sloppy. Taken from the stores, but kept in relatively good repair, his wardrobe consists largely of browns and blacks (Fortian colors, don't you know~~), with the occasional addition of something more colorful. The most eye-catching thing about him is the tattoos and scars exposed at the back of his neck, and the various tattoos that can be seen when he's wearing short sleeves or shorts. Not a one makes him look like the kind of man anyone should be interested in taking home despite such good habits as a tendency to have meticulously cleaned hands. Whenever possible, Izi ditches his knot. When he must, it's there, already looking a little frayed despite its lack of age.
