He is probably in a rather desperate need for a piece of art, if only so I would have something to illustrate his Charahub page with. I tried drawing him, but failed miserably and can’t find the motivation to try again. I’ll try to make up for the lack of reference art by sticking links in his description to pictures that I myself used when I tried to draw him.

Stuff: Dardariel is merely a mentor-figure from the backstory of one of my roleplaying characters, but I’ve been trying to flesh him out for some short stories. He’s not a particularily interesting concept and it’s worth noting that I absolutely do not mind any changes made to his outfit or hairstyle. He’s a warrior-angel who started visiting Earth during the Byzantine Empire, growing fond of the art and philosophy of it’s residents. Due to his knowledge of the human languages the angel often participated in missions to Earth as a translator and cultural interpretor, whilst still taking part of numerous battles against the forces of Hell. The war made him exceedingly jaded and he dealt with his issues by taking young angels under his wing, to teach them combat, encourage them to think for themselves rather than relying on orders and to inform them of what demons and Earth are really like, as he did not approve of the way most higher-up angels glorified the war against evil.

Face: His facial features are androgynous, strongly bringing to mind the beauty standards of ancient greek. The man's jawline is soft, and the curved, bow-shaped lips add to the feminity of his face. His nose forms a straight line from base to tip, with very little rounding or curving. Dardariel's eyes are brown in color, surrounded by thick eyelashes, resting below a pair of softly curving brows. His hair is shoulder-length - thick, dark and wavy in texture. Olive skintone.

Body: A pair of large, white wings grow out of his shoulderblades, but said wings can be „hidden“ at will. Although physically fit, Dardariel’s body could be described as „lean“ or maybe even „slender“, rather than „muscular“, trained for durability not for brute strength. Some of his angelical androgynity shows through in the man’s general proportions – the curve of his body, the size of his hands and feet etc. His skin is covered by a number of scars, the most noticeable being burn scars on his legs, clawmarks along his arms and the lack of small- and ringfinger on Dardariel's left hand, which were bitten off by a fiend many years ago.

Attire: He wears a simple greek-style tunic whilst off-duty, either barefoot or with sandals. On-duty he wears phoenician-inspired plate armor, made of a light alloy called somnianite, with crimson padding and a layer of black silk underneath. He often wears one of his armor-gauntlets over his left hand, even outside of battle, to hide an injury sustained whilst fighting a demon. The empty fingers of the gauntlet are connected to the middle finger by wires so that they would flex along with the remaining digits of his hand. Dardariel’s also taken on a habit of carrying his one-handed sword both on- and off-duty, having it equipped on the left side of his belt. Around Dardariel's neck there is a three-bar cross necklace on a gold chain.
