RAKHMON'S DESCRIPTION


Rakhmon picture


He resembles Eric, but is of average height, and with a lighter build than Eric. He is quite handsome. His hair is dark, cut short and swept back. He sports a pair of immaculately trimmed mutton-chop sideburns. His eyes are grey, piercing, and perhaps a little wary too. He moves fluidly and gracefully.

The current fashion of the Courts extends to lots of stiff brocade collars and silk epaulets, lots of decorations and ribbons, kind of a Richard III fascist look. The casual garb is 30-ish, big suits, straw hats, women in sloping hats and short skirts, long strings of pearls, cigarette holders. Jazz and swing are the musical tastes, except among the younger set, who seems to be adopting a nihilist, post-modern steam-punk look, with lots of leather and chains.

He carries a sword-cane and a couple of concealed knives when out and about. In Chaos, he dresses in Chaos style (as above), to blend in more, but prefers upper class Victorian style immaculate clothing when elsewhere - black jacket and trousers, stiff-collared white shirt, black kid gloves, top hat etc. He is not really as relaxed in the Chaos-style clothing as he is in the Victorian-style stuff. Although he definitely approves of the Chaosian woman's apparel! He is quite willing to compromise his personal style to (for example) blend in better with where-ever he may be.

He smokes cigars. Big ones.


His avatar form is a Griffin; his Demon form is inhuman in appearance. A humanoid torso with a double row of blades growing from the spine sprouts two pairs of dragonfly-like wings (which allow him to fly) and two pairs of wiry human-like arms, the fingers tipped with claws. The wings fold under beetle-like wing cases when not in use. The head is dragon-like, obviously carnivorous, with three eyes (one on each side, and one in the centre), and two pairs of sharp branching antlers. At the waist this form has a second short horizontal torso from which sprout two pairs of vaguely insectile legs with clawed feet, and a long reptilian tail, tipped with a bladed bludgeon. The spinal blades continue down the whole length of the body, getting smaller away from the head, then increasing in size again as they near the tail tip. The shoulders, elbows, knee joints, wing joints, knuckles and outer edges of the hands of this form also have short, wicked spikes growing from them. In overall shape his demon form vaguely resembles a praying mantis.


On the surface a gentleman; in reality a black-hearted rogue.

Rakhmon is definitely of the opinion that it is better to be feared than loved.

His favourite food varies with his moods. In general he likes anything luxurious, tasty and in large quantities (as a contrast to his orphanage upbringing).

His personal rooms tend to be Victorian in style; of high quality but somewhat dark (in colour and style), and more than a little cluttered with furniture etc.

He sleeps well; his conscience does not trouble him to any great degree.

He speaks somewhat formally, though he may lose this and revert to more common tones if he becomes too stressed or angry.
