Color reference/scribbly model sheet here
For rather obvious reasons, shirts are no longer really an option. The scales look like a similar sort of metal to his canon armor, and his eyes display eyeshine in the dark. (Have a flashlight or other light source and there'll be a couple glowing red pinpoints reflecting back.) The nictating membrane closes in flight or when he's stressed/angry/threatened enough; it doesn't really do much beyond make it easier to keep dust/particles out of his eyes.
He's got a few dramatic headcanon-ish scars because finding an Archfiend alone with his face while off-camera is a pretty good recipe for getting mauled a bit. The main one's the massive sharkbite-looking one around his chest/shoulder, there's a couple other indented gashes on his side; he's also got an odd ragged line around the elbow of his left-forearm, and his left forearm is fully scaled.
After the Pitchforks, Torches, and Salt event (May 2015) he has the longest shoulder spine on his left side broken off two thirds of the way down, as well as a few of his back and tail spine-scales similarly broken off. His wings and back have some slightly odd-formed and black scales/skin in a splatter-pattern, scarring the chemicals thrown into the pit; similar scars appear on the bony headplate of his fog-form.

Sep. 20th, 2015 01:47 amCHARACTER NAME: Kain Highwind
CHARACTER SERIES: Final Fantasy IV
[OOC]
Backtagging: YES.
Threadhopping: Sometimes - depends on the thread, feel free to ask!
Fourthwalling: Sure.
Offensive subjects (elaborate): Personally, as long as it's "IC=/=OOC" or handled with some sense of respect, I am not bothered by a whole lot.
[IC]
Hugging this character: Sure!
Kissing this character: ................MUN is perfectly OK with attempts!
Flirting with this character: Yes, MUN could use the laugh.
Fighting with this character: Sure!
Injuring this character (include limits and severity): Yes, prefer being pinged before anything massively crippling/long-term injury if it wasn't planned ahead of time (so I can adjust any other existing plans etc.), and I will assume the same in reverse - I'll try to contact you if he might try to maim/fold/spindle/mutilate your character.
Killing this character: I am okay with killing him, just ping me before doing something lethal for similar reasons to above.
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: Sure thing! Feel more than free to poke me and ask questions if you're using that kind of power on him. He doesn't really have any special defenses beyond a normal human for that.
Warnings:
1) Kain's basically career military. On the bright side, he's heavily trained. He's a competitive ass that can be pretty aggressive if he's got a goal, but he does have self control and a sense of priorities and Not Fighting To The Death Over Dumb Shit.
2) He's been sexuality of "Unrequited Single Target" for most of his life. If you try to hit on him, expect at least a good phase of Confused Awkward Turtle with a side of him facerolling his issues. (On the bright side, MUN finds this prospect hilarious.)
3) HE'S A COMPETITIVE ASS WITH AN EGO. This may end up being the thing that may get him into dumb fights even with his training Knightly Duty etc., and if you show him up, even if he likes you, he will start competing and trying to get better than you. If you think he's a reliable narrator there's this really nice bridge I have for sale...
4) For the most part Kain is more of a decent human being than he gives himself credit for. However, he's from a society that's probably around 15th Century and has been dealing with dragons and divine beings/fae beings that do not work on mortal perspectives of scale etc., plus having spent over a year being Nonhuman himself. By most "Normal" standards he's occasionally prone to Blue and Orange morality, esp. around things to do with the supernatural.

Silver Moon Bar
Jun. 7th, 2015 05:37 pmThe bar is not a big place exactly; it's on a side street just off one of the central areas of Bavan. It's got several tables, a pool table, a piano on one of the walls, and a slightly battered jukebox by the door.
It's open for a good part of the afternoon/day, with Seth![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
empressingly as a fairly usual day bartender; at night there's a human, local barkeep that's friendly towards monsters, and four or so nights a week Kain is claiming a corner being security. (Dave the barkeep has been there for a while. Dave is not food.) There's a couple other human staff with a bit of turnover on employees.
There's some human clientelle, very heavily slanted towards people that are interested in the monsters or have good opinions of them; for obvious reasons, people more hostile to monsters aren't likely to stick around or be very welcome if they're loud about it. The bar is one of the businesses with a sign up that monsters are welcome.
There's another small sign at the bar stating that they are open to answering questions on things to help new arrivals and other monsters adapt, and there's usually some of the pamphlets made by Sybil's Welcoming Committee available, including ones with a list of other places of note/some of the other player businesses and safe havens, including the Pandemonium bookstore, the clinic/Spa at lake Dala, Rin's church/soup kitchen, and the lab.
There's a couple back rooms that're employee/locked - a walk-in fridge, a couple dry storage rooms, and a small kitchen. There's also an upstairs apartment that's off and on used by Conan when he's in Bavan.

Honor - VNV Nation
A nation that stands alone
Cold voices, faces pale
Gathered unto their judgement day
Such pride remains unbroken
Such words remain unspoken
Just mothers to stand in vain and cry
Tears and medals in the rain
Shall I recall when justice did prevail?
No reason to be found why reason did fail..
Shall I call on you to guide me well
To see our hopes and dreams fulfilled?
On this day of our ascension
Stand your ground, this is what we are fighting for
For our spirit and laws and ways
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war
For heaven or hell we shall not wait
Shall I think of honour as lies
Or lament its age and slow demise?
Shall I stand as a total stranger
On this day in this stone chamber?
Lost My Way - Finger Eleven
I'm screaming from outside in
Tell me where I've been
There's nowhere to return to out there
I think I've lost my way
But that's just not news today
Because the story's old
The black and white
Have gone to grey...
And you were right
'Cause I finally lost my way
Centuries - Fall Out Boy
Mummified my teenage dreams
No, it's nothing wrong with me
The kids are all wrong
The story's all off
Heavy metal broke my heart
Come on, come on and let me in
The bruises on your thighs like my fingerprints
And this is supposed to match
The darkness that you felt
I never meant for you to fix yourself...
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
And I can't stop 'til the whole world knows my name
'Cause I was only born inside my dreams
Until you die for me
As long as there's a light
My shadow's over you
'Cause I, I am the opposite of amnesia
And you're a cherry blossom
You're about to bloom
You look so pretty, but you're gone so soon...
We've been here forever
And here's the frozen proof
I could scream forever
We are the poisoned youth
Fly On The Wall - Thousand Foot Krutch
If I could just see it all
Just like a fly on the wall
Would I be able to accept what I can't control
And would I share what I saw
Or just sit back and ignore
Like nothing never happened
I haven't seen you before
I'm on the run from a thief
I let into my head
I know I hold the keys, so don't be scared
When I turn and shout:
I don't think I need you anymore
Take your words, and your lies and just beat it
I don't think I need you anymore
Take the hurt and the pain, I don't need it
I wanna live, I wanna be the change
Eye of the Storm - Cruxshadows
I believe in what I fight for
And I have paid for it with pain
I am here because my contributions
May help turn this fate away
And all who stood by and did nothing
Who are they to criticize?
The sacrifices of others
Our blood has bought their lives
This is the moment of truth
At the point of no return
Place faith in your convictions
As the boundaries start to blur
There is no love untouched by hate
No unity without discord
There is no courage without fear
There is no peace without a war
There is no wisdom without regret
No admiration without scorn
There is strife within the tempest
And there is calm in the eye of the storm
The pages of our history
Are written by the hand
With eyes and ears and prejudice
Too far removed to understand
And so the heroes of the ages past
Are stripped of honesty and love
To make them seem less noble
And hide what we can become
If you find the courage within you
To face the path ahead
It matters not the outcome
If what you will gain instead
Is a heart deepened in the knowing
That experience carves the soul
And the very thing that empties you
Shall surely make you whole
Where the silent voices whisper
Find the course that is your own
Becoming the Bull - Atreyu
Grab the bull by the horns the old adage goes
Nobody tells you where to go from here
Seems like fates pulling you
Decisions have to be made
The best path is the hardest earned...
There is so much at stake
I stumble, I lose my place
Pride and arrogance surrounded by sin
Destiny takes it's hold
Fight it or let it go
But I choose how the day will end
Back and forth the struggle consumes us all
Trying to keep a level head
In the most unsettling of times
Today I'll become the bull
Kick In The Teeth - Papa Roach
We live in a cold dark world with venom in it's fangs
You can spit it in my face but I know I'll be OK
It's on the attack, It's a war, It's a game
A ball and chain chew my arm off to get away
Don't fight, or it deny it, invite it cause when it
Feels like a kick in the teeth, I can take it
Throw your stones and you won't see me breaking
Say what you want, take your shots
You're setting me free with one more kick in the teeth...
I gotta say thanks cause you kick me when I'm down
I'm bleeding out the mouth
I hope you know I'm stronger now
I'm taking the hate, I'm turning it all around
I wont go down 'til I'm six feet underground...
What doesnt kill me only, will make me stronger in my head
Monster - Imagine Dragons
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me
A monster, a monster
I've turned into a monster
A monster, a monster
And it keeps getting stronger
Can I clear my conscience
If I'm different from the rest
Do I have to run and hide
I never said that I want this
This burden came to me
And it's made it's home inside
If I told you what I was
Would you turn your back on me
And if I seem dangerous
Would you be scared
Arsonist's Lullabye - Hozier
When I was a man I thought it ended
When I knew love's perfect ache
But my peace has always depended
On all the ashes in my wake
All you have is your fire
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever tame your demons
Always keep them on a leash
Tanglewood Tree - Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer
Love is an old root that creeps through the meadows of sleep
When the long shadows cast
Thin as a vagrant young vine, it encircles and twines
And it holds the heart fast
Catches dreamers in the wildwood with the stars in their eyes
And the moon in their tousled hair
But love is a light in the sky, and an unspoken lie
And a half-whispered prayer
I'm walking down a bone-dry river but the cool mirage runs true
I'm banking on the fables of the far, far better things we do
I'm living for the day of reckoning, counting down the hours
I yearn away, I burn away, I turn away the fairest flower of love, 'cause darling
Love is a garden of thorns
Love's garden of thorns, how it grows
And a crow in the corn
Black crow in the corn hummin' low
And the brake growing wild
Brake nettle so pretty and wild
And thistles surround the edge of the
Cold when the summer is spent
Dim dark hour as the sun moves away
In the jade heart's lament
Lamenting a lost summer day
For the faith of a child
Who nurtures the faith of a child
When nothing remains to cover her eyes?
My body has a number and my face has a name
My body has a number, maybe my face has a name
And each day looks the same to me
Each hour like each hour before
But love is a voice on the wind
This longing is a voice on the wind
And the wages of sin
She cultivates the wages of sin
And a tanglewood tree
In a tanglewood tree
Choose Your Blade - House of Heroes
It was a numinous night, wet and cold like the last week of autumn
I felt a shiver dividing my bones from the top to the bottom
And there were two of me then, one part flesh and the other a phantom
To the phantom I said, get behind me, ye vamp of Diablo
It said, you speak out of turn, I am born of the shadow inside you
And I have lived in your heart and with it I've become quite accustomed
Choose your blade, we shall dance in the blood and the rain
I grow sick of your whispered betrayals
Go where the dead go, tu estas muerto
Choose your blade, I won't be held as a prisoner of shame
I grow sick of your lies and your games
Get thee behind me, you shall not bind me
It was a coward's decision when I offered you sanctuary
I knew it, right then and there that our cartel would be my undoing
But I, rationalized and believed every mangled half truth
Choose your blade, we shall dance in the blood and the rain
I grow sick of your whispered betrayals
Go where the dead go, tu estas muerto
Choose your blade, I won't be held as a prisoner of shame
I grow sick of your lies and your games
Get thee behind me, you shall not bind me
A nation that stands alone

But I, rationalized and believed every mangled half truth
Choose your blade, we shall dance in the blood and the rain
I grow sick of your whispered betrayals
Go where the dead go, tu estas muerto
Choose your blade, I won't be held as a prisoner of shame
I grow sick of your lies and your games
Get thee behind me, you shall not bind me
