This elf holds his posture at most times to appear as small and threatless as possible.

In actuality he stands around 5'10. He is very highly attractive. Once prized by a high priestess among drow as a pleasure piece - 'pretty' and exotically unusual, sharp masculine form despite his posture, handsome lines.
He is much more physically formidable than he allows to be noted; frequently holding himself slightly side-on to appear less broad (particularly to females) and always carrying himself as less than he is. He manages to do this in a way that seems ingrained, relaxed, natural and it's only the perceptive or those trying to take a really good look at him physically that would realise this one has quite a tall, muscle-packed fighter's build for his race.

... And about that race.

His skin is an exotic hue that could pass for moon-elven pale, yet it has more slate to it, a greyer hue that depending on lighting can sometimes make him look far too dark, closer to some sort of drow... Never quite 'right' and never totally dismissable whether beheld through the eyes of a surface elf or a drow.

His hair doesn't help either, streaked with a wide arrayed spectrum between dark bluish silver to stark white so that the whole colour is awash depending which way the light hits it, either appearing pale or inky or sometimes a rather pleasing sheen of both - too blended and subtle to achieve a true salt and pepper look. From a distance one might describe it as an ambiguous dark silver.

... And then there are the blood red eyes that have that telltale glow about them in darkness. They have a fatalistic stare, almost haunting... Something cold, empty and completely giving about it. A reckless and too-accepting stare. Like a man on death row who knows he has ten minutes to live.

... These eyes are absolutely at odds with the elf's usually playful, light, even jovial demeanor. When he's not behaving as a piece of unnoticeable background furniture, that is.

Those more worldly might identify this male as a half-drow.

Of course, any self respecting drow or elf would nearly immediately be appalled by the accent that spills from his lips.

Belying both lines of his blood come forth words of a bastardised accent of either everywhere under the sun or "where the fuck is this one from?"...

... Was that a tinge of goblin accent?
