I saw it on @amoaliquis, and immediately thought that I should do it for Leanos.
1. A Clothing Item They Would Wear
A simple, comfortable linen shirt, preferably loose so it doesn't restrict his movements. Leanos knows how to appreciate both comfort and simplicity.
2. A Texture In The Signature Colour
As the Veil Jumper, linen is a familiar, understandable fabric to him. When it comes to colour, he favours warm shades that remind him of his native Arlathan Forest.
3. An Animal That Suits Their Personality
Who better suits a rogue than the very embodiment of trickery in the animal world? The fox. Cunning, nimble, able to get what it wants and still leave everyone else satisfied. Though foxes are seen as symbols of deceit and guile, they also embody many positive traits: the ability to turn any situation to one’s advantage, to use unconventional methods and think outside the box, to employ resources strategically and trust one’s instincts, to adapt quickly to new conditions, shift behaviour, and find a way out of tricky spots. Foxes are also associated with sharp intuition – the gift of seeing what is hidden from others.
4. An Environment That Captures Their Story
The forest, of course. The forest is his true home, his element, where Leanos feels like a fish in water. In his clan he was a hunter; after joining the Veil Jumpers, his life changed only in that, instead of animals, he now mostly hunts ancient elven artefacts. In both cases he could spend hours (even days) in the woods, and it never bothered him. Quite the opposite.
6. An Object In Their Bag
I’d say a travelling kit, since he spends an enormous amount of time out in the wilds. If I have to choose, I’ll name two items because they go hand in hand: flint and steel. The nights in Arlathan Forest are cold and dangerous. A bonfire provides good protection from both.
The choice was between playing the flute and dancing. I decided to go with dancing. Leanos adores it. As a master of daggers, he’s very flexible and graceful, able to move smoothly and with a keen sense of rhythm. He carries that love and ability into his skill with daggers. He dances even in battle and finds a great pleasure in it. Dance is his way of expressing himself to the world, a part of his fighting arts, and a way to release his negative emotions.
8. An Abstraction That Captures Their Vibe
And now we get to the most interesting part, tying all the threads together. The orange colour, the red fox, the flint and steel, the dances beside the clan’s campfire. Leanos is fire itself. Bright, alluring, drawing attention, capable of igniting others intuitively, unknowingly, and leading them forward. A fiery spirit of freedom burns within him. To those close and dear, he’s a gentle, warm, comforting flame; to his enemies, a raging blaze that can burn everything to ashes.
9. A Food or Beverage They Enjoy
Leanos doesn’t talk about it much, but he loves spiced wine. On a cold evening, sitting by the fire, he might pull out a saved flask of wine and some herbs he gathered earlier, then prepare himself a warming drink (he’s a connoisseur of good alcohol). Otherwise, another thing he thoroughly enjoys is drinking cold, clear water straight from a forest spring.
Open tag if someone wants.
