Concept

The golden boy that darkness could not touch, whose life was turned upside down and in that one moment of first emotional clarity and pain was taken and transformed into something richer and more strange.



Appearance (Mien/Mask)
Height: 6'8"/6'4"
Weight: about 170 lbs/about 200 lbs (he doesn't weigh himself)
Eye Color: Green/Blue
Hair color: Crimson/Blond
Hair Style: Incredibly long, flowing, half-braided/ Just brushing his shoulders, well kept.
Complexion: Glowing from within, pale with hints of gold and green/ Light, usually tanned.
Body shape: Lithe and slender but deceptively strong/ Muscular.  (In both cases broad-shouldered and tapering, nearly triangular)
Clothing: Optional.  He can be a clothes-horse because he likes to look good and he has noticed that people treat attractive, well-dressed people differently, but he usually wants to be comfortable.  His favorite articles of clothing are a worn leather jacket and a pair of snakeskin boots.



More like the face, but without the length of hair.

Mien (Description): Tall and slender as a sword-blade, effortlessly, alluringly beautiful, this beauty is at the same time enticing and off-putting.  He is almost too perfect in his physical perfection, as if his features were carved by the hand of some master out of gold-veined marble, with eyes of living, burning peridots that if one looks too closely into, one will notice, even as the brilliance hypnotizes, that the irises are shaped like rose leaves.  His hair is long and flowing, half-braided and twined with darkest crimson roses, roses just a little richer and more vibrant a blood red than his thick and lustrous scarlet hair.  Sensual lips curve back from perfect white teeth and his long-fingered hands are strong and agile.



Mask (Description): Tommy Lane looks, to the casual observer, much as he would have looked had he lived another twelve to twenty years on Earth.  He is tall, well-muscled and handsome, a chromium prince for a modern America.  He has movie star good looks complete with longish blond hair and a toothpaste commercial smile.  Sometimes his mien can bleed through the mask and make his blue eyes seem green.





Personality
Virtue: Justice
Vice: Lust

The Knight is an outgoing, confident, generally charming individual.  He has elements of the Casanova about him, but while he is smooth in social situations, he is far more direct than manipulative.  Chivalry, loyalty and friendship mean a great deal to him.  On the other hand, despite how handsome his surface might be, it can be difficult to reach past it and see if there is anything to this man other than the "knight" or the seducer.  And neither he is immune to the particular brand of arrogance and vanity that can characterize most Fairest, though he may hide it better than most.  He keeps his darkness, his sorrow, fear and anger, the place of guilt and pain where he really and truly lives, hidden deep beneath the glittering facade.

History
(Before)
Tommy Lane was a carefree young man, handsome and daring, effortlessly popular and well aware of the fact.  He liked every dangerous thing he could lay his hands on, whether it be a gun, a fast vehicle or a beautiful woman, and in general he was good with them all.

Tom's life was a rosy one and it seemed that nothing bad could ever happen to him, nor any darkness touch him.  He was fifteen when he got her pregnant, but she never told him.  She dropped out of school and he was too busy taking in accolades for his latest sports achievement to think anything of it.  At eighteen, when he was being petitioned left and right by colleges offering athletic scholarships, he opened a text message from an unknown number and found out her confession:  she had borne his child but quickly felt overwhelmed.  Her parents hadn't helped her, and she couldn't hold down a job.  She took drugs.  She was afraid for the baby's life.  Wouldn't he come and claim his daughter?

Eyes blinded with tears, Tommy jumped on to his motorcycle and rode as if the devil were behind him, trying to decide what to do.  He rode in circles, wavering dangerously across the coastal mountain range, when the scent of ozone rose in the air and static lifted the hairs on his arms and the back of his neck.  A wind whipped out from nowhere, dark and fierce as a tornado although in no natural shape, and he lost control.  His motorcycle flipped and he was spinning through the air, over the cliff.  As he fell, he felt arms wrap around him, and heard a voice whisper in his ear, "I can find a place for you."

Seeming and Kith Abilities
Blessings:
Fairest: These changelings really are the Fairest of Them All, and their magic only emphasizes this. The player can spend Glamour to improve dice pools that include Presence, Manipulation and Persuasion. Each point spent increases one dice pool by one point.
A changeling counted among the Fairest also suffers no untrained penalty for using Social skills in which she has no dots.
Flowering: Seductive Fragrance: his skin, hair and breath carries the aroma of unknown blossoms from places unseen, the promise of pleasures unknown. His bouquet seduces and lulls in equal measure. He gains the benefit of the 9 again rule on dice pools including Persuasion, Socialize and Subterfuge.
Curses:
The Fairest, similar to the creatures who stole them, can be callous and unfeeling, vicious and prone to toy with others, even people who love them. Their inner balance suffers for this. One of the Fairest suffers a -1 die penalty on dice pools to avoid losing Clarity (for example, the player of a Fairest with Clarity 5 who kills another changeling rolls two dice to avoid losing Clarity, rather than three).
