unrestricted yearning

Tagged by @dujour13 and @criticallybad for this OC questionnaire, thank you for the tag! I'll tag @scionshtola @coldshrugs @elfroot-and-laurels @cosmicbrainfungus and whoever would like to nab it... please tag me to read about your characters, I love hearing about them 🥺💕

fandom: Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

full name: Nereo Nicolas Manelich

gender: Some variation of genderfluid, but he’s not thinking about that yet.

pronouns: he/him for now; later any pronouns

age: 26 in Act 1

species: Grimspawn tiefling

race/ethnicity/class: Taldoran Necromancer

describe them physically: Tall and willowy in his hungry years, he puts on a good amount of muscle during the Crusade. Nereo has light brown skin with a peculiar blue tint due to his Abyssal blood. Easily confused for a demon, he has a long tail which is furred at the end, furry legs, hooves, fangs, and three sets of horns. His hair is pin-straight, dark blue, and waist-length. His right eye is red with dark sclera, his left eye is just a mangled scar due to one of his horns growing crooked in his childhood.

describe how they dress: He favors dark colors, and his clothes are tailored to make it easy for him to dress. His shirts tend to tie or button in the front, so he doesn’t risk them tearing on his horns. His leggings likewise tie on, so he doesn’t have to fiddle with slipping them over his hooves. Later on, he becomes fond of bold silhouettes and accessories, with an androgynous feel. When traveling as the commander he wears black metal plate armor.

favorite things: Ghost stories, the quiet of a graveyard, moonlight, warm meals, libraries, taxidermy, music, black roses, humor, foul language, candle wax...

least favorite things: Mornings, crowds, sweets, disappointing people, politics, religion, iodine, stitches, being told what to do, speeches…

hobbies: Reading esoteric tomes, sparring, researching necromancy, losing himself in his work…

quirks: Nerve damage makes it hard for him to control certain muscles on his face, so his smile is lopsided, pulling higher on the right.

"I'd drag my spine through every thorned version of this life, this death, if at the end of each one you were there; wine-sweet and wrecked with want."

Please be mindful that i didn't draw any chainmail underneath, first bc im lazy, but every armor from XV century had some : over the gambeson, under the plate, fully or on located areas. They also used pants gambesons.

Also this is just one example, XVth had so much armor variations for any of the parts above

Here're some references i like to use :

-> The Evolution of Knightly Armour

-> Age of Craft

This sick bleach shirt I made. Something to showcase my undying love for prehistoric cave art.
