Jai/Description

Tall, dark, and handsome are nearly all words that accurately describe Jai -- two out of three's not bad, right? He's about six foot tall, and skinny enough to give the vague impression that he could've started out as a rather shorter guy and been vigorously stretched. He's got pitch black hair cut in short tousled spikes, vaguely caramel-coloured skin, and eyes dark enough that one can't easily see a difference between pupil and iris, which covers the tall and dark portions pretty effectively. Handsome, though, is something of an overstatement; he's not unattractive, but his head has the same long thin proportions as his body, with a prominent nose, thick dark brows, and sizable ears that stick out conspicuously on either side of his head. Still, his face is alert and expressive, and more often than not his healthy white teeth are shown off in a wide grin. He tends to straight-legged jeans, high-top converse, and an open-collared button-down under a light sweater, nearly always with a well-loved old black trenchcoat worn over top. He has no visible piercings or tattoos, but he does wear more jewelry than most guys one encounters around here, most notably several silver-and-stone rings. <+views: jewelryJai's watch, bracelet, and the ring on his right index-finger are all inlaid Zuni-style with semi-precious stones ranging from shiny to sparkly. On his right ring finger is a ring clearly fashioned from a fork, the tines reminiscent of wavy tentacles and bearing a round, polished moonstone among them; on the left ring finger is a simpler ring which looks as though it may have been made of the handle from the same fork. One middle-finger ring has a quite large, square zirconite surrounded by irregular oval patches of turquoise enamel. He also sometimes wears a ring that looks like a round aquamarine in a setting like wind-furrowed sand and one with a pattern of intricate, lacey, but somewhat organic cut-outs. He wears three pendants on chains, all usually hidden beneath his shirt: one that looks like a tiny dog-whistle, one capsule-like filigreed tube with a small hebrew 'chai' on it, and one with the Miskatonic University symbol wreathed in tentacles. The metal of all his jewelry is silver, or at least silver-coloured., scentJai tends to smell of a mixture of cedar and cloves, a clean, sort of sweet/spicy/woodsy blend.>
