Silme [seel-may] Dúlin [doo-leen]
Moonlight Nightingale
Age: 29
Height: 5’6”, 167 cm
Weight: 125 lbs, 56 kg
Build: Slim
Race: Elf
He didn’t quite fit the picture of a wanted criminal, nor did he quite fit the picture of the quite fearsome assassin the legends of Snowy-Eyes painted him out to be. He was actually kind of short, and he didn’t dress like someone who was afraid or hiding, despite his talents all pertaining to the shadows. He actually seemed to revel in the throes of life
Choosing to instead wear a captain’s hat or something like a captain’s hat, a leather vest, and leather gloves, with leather riding boots. Military like breeches, and a emerald green tunic underneath his coat wrapped by a lighter yellow emerald sash.
Cinched in by a waist belt for his knife. Around his neck was a bandanna wrapped around his adam’s apple and most of his throat, a triangle shape formed over his chest piece, with a simple small chest plate around most of his sternum, with his coat off you’d notice it’s fastened with leather buckles and straps.
*His breastplate is not a full size breast plate. It really is built for a lith, slimmer, humanoid form, because he’s smaller than a human is, his breast plate is smaller, and doesn’t sit across the first upper torso. His breast plate is more similar to a woman’s breastplate, but built for a man’s “broad chest” [considering he is so lith he isn’t that broad] it sits across to protect the heart, the lungs, and part of the ribcage. But his abdomen is slightly more exposed since the sash sits more around his middle torso, and lower torso.
Here's a reference, but the chest piece metal and I am keeping the leather piece around his waist, he simply disguises it with the sash.
His snowy blond hair was cut short, it though was quite wavy and didn’t seem to want to be tamed with any techniques to make it look presentable. His eyes were indeed snowy, a beautiful, shimmering, youthful gray that almost glinted like the polished steel of a blade.
Personality StrengthIronically he didn’t give off much of a criminal vibe to those who knew him or grew to know him. His quiet, demure nature was not one he had purposely chosen for himself. If he could speak, he’d probably be described as a calm, strong willed and strong hearted individual. Who strive for his own personal identity and independence.
Nothing to condemn him about. He didn’t even seem to have any thrill in the deaths he caused. Some would say that he seemed quite sympathetic to the deaths he caused, some accounts who don’t paint him as a monster portray him praying or something like it in his own way to his victim’s bodies.
But none of that deterred him to get what he wanted or reach for what he wanted. Silme always looks forward never in the past, he always has his foot forward towards the future. Someone who seeks atonement. If perhaps he was not an assassin who took to the shadows, some would have considered him a brave and loyal knight. But most see him as a disloyal shady character, even though all of his actions say much more.
His willingness to aid those he sees as part of his clan. His willingness to help others. To show forgiveness, even mercy. A lack of cruelty brings serenity to his silent demeanor. He laughs, but silently, with others, he cries with others, he is not devoid of emotion. He seeks justice. He seeks atonement and seems to want to do good.
He can also be very generous and very sweet, respectful, charming even in his own way.
But no matter what he shows, to some they see him as a nefarious and shady character and the stories about him and his Snowy-Eyes becomes more and more monstrous the more and more mouths speaks the story they heard from their aunt who knew a guy who knew a woman who heard for her son who knew a witness what he had done.
Personality FlawsNo matter what Silme wants to be and who he is are two different things. It doesn’t take away the things he has done or is willing to do to cross his achievements. While Silme may be kind, and generous, tenderhearted, and sympathetic. He may lack cruelty. It doesn’t mean he hasn’t done horrible things. Nor does he seem to want to correct them either.
Because he always has a foot in the future, he barely looks upon the past of what wrought he has brought to others lives. Silme believes the actions he is now taking will atone for all the sin and pain he has caused. While few would criticize Silme believing his actions some kind of redeemable noble cause, Silme shows little in the way of regret once he has set his mind that he has atoned for it.
Countless men who have fought war, would grovel at the horrors they have caused, the sea of blood they drown in and can never wash their hands of blood. It either is that Silme is so narrow minded he cannot be tormented by his own actions or that Silme so believes in his cause to atone that he is not bothered to look at the horror he has caused.
And despite Silme striving to atone for his actions he continues to actions that make others bat an eye. He kills without batting an eye. And only after he kills with a cold heart does he pray for his victims. It seems a bit backwards and wishy washy. He doesn’t seem to do it for cruel malicious reasons like he enjoys the thrill of killing, but in the moment of life and death he sees them as mere obstacles first, then people second which unnerves some.
His quiet disposition, not a choice of his own, also makes it hard for those to question his morality. Because how do you argue morality and ethics with a mute, who could have a difficult time trying to explain complexities of life through pictographs and hand gestures in the form of signed language.
It’s also hard then to understand what is going on in Silme’s mind in these moments because he cannot express them with words to formulate his thoughts. Only through the gestures and actions he takes.
Silme not a cruel individual. He barely accounts for aloof, because his enigmatic nature only comes in the form he cannot speak his ideas so easily. While not cruel, he is ruthless and efficient. And some mistake that as malice and cruel.
