Rheoaan Rohaan Rio Ja'aisen

Age: 28
Height: 6'
Build: Lean, scarred. One of his ribs is crooked because it was broken as a child and never set right. 
Hair: Pale blonde and wildly curly. Some strands are more like waves, others are corkscrews, and everything in between. It's always an absolute mess, and he usually has it back in a ponytail, except for a small braid that sits in front of his right ear, and is adorned with a little lapis bead. 
Eyes: These are important. Shifter eyes are very distinct and very identifiable. They are a lurid cobalt blue, like lapis lazuli. All shifters have this trait, and despite their shifting abilities, cannot change them. They are used to identify shifters, which are not accepted as safe members of society. 

On shifters: Their blood is silver, which they also cannot change, giving rise to the slur 'silverblood'. They can change their shape, humanoid or animal, into anything sentient (AKA not coral or a jellyfish or something not wholly intelligent) and anything real (so no three headed dog, unless that's a thing that exists in the universe). They can copy people. There are certain enchantments that can be bestowed upon objects (like a shackle) that can inhibit a shifter. You can also prevent them from shifting if they're severely injured, sick, malnourished, or otherwise unwell. 

Backstory: Rohaan is from a small, uncharted tropical island somewhere off the southern coast. When he was 8, slavers came and raided the village, capturing him and several other children. Rohaan eventually escaped, but by then he was further north and nowhere near his home. He survived, barely, on the street for a little while before he found Berlin. He picked the man's pocket and was caught, and Berlin, a pirate and a master thief, saw his very bad condition and took him in. The transition was difficult, as Rohaan and Berlin did not speak the same language, and he proved to be violent, defensive, bitter, and difficult to manage. But Berlin had a magical ability to control people via touch, and so he was able to keep Rohaan from (seriously) hurting anyone. Berlin was a patient man and earned his trust, and has since become a father figure to Rohaan. 

Personality: Fearless, bold, arrogant, likes to stir trouble, generally easygoing until his anger is stirred, and then he is a terror. He's a 'live fast, die hard' type.
