               <Overview>

Unimposing.

Understated.

Lycias' physical appearance was crafted with these qualities in mind to belie the true nature of the fiend that dwelt just beneath the surface of feigned courtesy and hollow politesse. The true strength of the fiend's arsenal was delivered not with grand theatrics or grotesque, nightmarish form but simply with his intelligence, and wit.

While this was commonplace enough among his kind, there existed a level of perfection inherent within this craft while wielded by Lycias that invoked a measure of awe and terror alike. The capability to brandish words and his mere presence alike to wither fiends and mortals alike with dread or inspire obedience was a thing of frightening splendor.

        <Physical Description>

A fiend he was, though a fiend he did not so readily appear to be. The effectiveness of subtlety honed to a fine threatening point was something that Lycias prided himself on considerably. A form conventional and human-like was adopted more often than not as both a suitable disguise for the ease of eliciting trust amongst mortals, as well as simple vanity.

Pity would be cast upon those whom lack a capable enough tongue and demeanor to terrify or intimidate and must resort to nothing but their monstrous and gruesome form. Lycias would have none of this - he relied upon simply force of personality and cunning to achieve his goals and sate his appetite.

Slim, modesty muscled and standing an adequate height to not be entirely lost in a crowd, the fiend's chosen visage was by no means plain nor drab. His features could've been considered handsome and striking to some - free of blemishes and scarring and perpetually fixed upon his countenance was an expression illustrating his poised and placid exterior. The hair that crowned his head by all appearances was well kept and maintained and fell to shoulder length to all but touch against the broadness of his aforementioned stature.
