Detra Melfic

Physical Appearance

• Purple eyes
• Light brown skin
• Very tall in height
• Physically fit with very well built muscles
• Armored exoskeletal plates and horns
• Scorpion tail

Clothing Style

Detra doesn't particularly like wearing that much clothing considering how difficult it can be to put on over his exoskeleton without it being custom made. He doesn't tend to be clear about what parts of him are exoskeleton and what is armor, which seems to be a purposeful ambiguity to make things more interesting. Some of the armor on his legs and arms, like his gloves, are indeed armor, but the armor on his chest is exoskeletal. He does also wear armor shoulder-plates and sometimes a cloak depending on the situation. His horns, tail, and plates on his face are also exoskeletal, but that's about all he'll elaborate on. He'll leave you to guess what else is part of him and what isn't.

Personality

Detra is a quiet and fierce warrior of the desert who is primarily motivated by his loyalties. He holds himself with confidence yet is never arrogant, and he tends to be observant of his surroundings at all times. He comes off as practical and no-nonsense, but it's mostly because he likes to keep things as simple as possible rather than being too serious. When he speaks, he's usually very blunt with his words and is honest about pretty much everything, aside from the occasional sarcasm. He tends to keep a calm and rather low-energy demeanor most of the time, but he doesn't put up with any crap and doesn't even bother himself with petty problems or drama. He's usually a perfectly reasonable person to talk and negotiate with, but he also doesn't have any problem punching his way through problems if talking is going to be a waste of time. His demeanor is actually quite similar to Lady Anatola's in the sense that neither of them typically show that much external emotion or enthusiasm, although he can be more expressive than she normally is, especially if displaying his anger or annoyance.

Detra can be somewhat brooding and unapproachable at times, but he's not quite as scary as he looks, as long as you don't annoy him. He has a down to earth nature and always works hard and efficiently to reach his goals. He seems rather aggressive and intimidating, and honestly he really is in the right situations, but in general he's pretty mellow and friendly. He also has a rather light sense of humor that's usually too subtle for most people to pick up on unless they are already familiar with him. Detra isn't really a fan of using complicated technology if there's a perfectly reasonable alternative that doesn't require technology. He's not incapable of learning how to use certain devices and is by no means technology-illiterate, but he dislikes having to interact with it and avoids it if possible.
