🔎 FOR UR MOST HIMBO OC, PLEASE.

OH MAN. HARD DECISIONS

I’m going to make this abt Cadeyrn from Unchosen who is NOT a traditional hunk but he IS a pretty boy and also something like a lacrosse jock spears are like lacrosse sticks right and also I don’t talk about him enough (and Rhys was a contender but he’s too smart I’m sorry)

Cadeyrn is like 5′5 because tall guys are overrated, sorry not sorry, and he’s the kind of pretty where he just doesn’t give a shit that other people think he’s attractive. He’s like. “so what???”

Everything about him is sharp – jaw, nose, eyebrows, and yes he has pointy ears because I wanted to give fey pointy ears in at least one wip and I think that’s very valid of me – and he’s got pretty much two basic appearances: pre-mindwipe and post-mindwipe.

Pre-mindwipe, he wears his hair just long enough that he can pull it back from his face, dirty blond and pulled into a dozen braids more often than not because that’s just how he’s most used to wearing it. He dresses in elaborate court attire when he’s at home in Castle Brenwaith, because that’s what’s expected of him as a knight proper of Journsea; he’s most often dressed in the forest hues of green and misty blue-gray that are associated with the royal family of Glen Henfil. He’s strong and limber, built just a little stockier than Estel, and is unashamed of any part of his appearance – even the strange, cruel scars that twist through his left cheek, something like claws or daggers drawn through his skin.

Post-mindwipe, the most significant change is how he carries himself; instead of standing a step back and waiting for Estel to act, he holds himself with an air of royalty, acting the part of the man he was always meant to be in his family’s eyes. He wears his hair longer and loose around his face, and if it’s a few shades lighter, who is he to know? He’s dressed in Glen regalia – hunter’s garb – with two glass spears, one long and one short, each with delicate filigree that shows his rank as Master of the Hunt. His scars are disguised by the traditional Hunters’ paint that confuses the eye and acts as a sort of camouflage.

He’s also just. he’s good at like. like two things okay. he’s good at being a Hunter with a capital H and he’s good at backing up Estel. they’re just a fucking power couple I love them and I feel lowkey bad but Cadeyrn is gonna have a lot of shit to work through my poor boy.

thanks for the ask!!

send me a 🔎 and an OC’s name for a detailed description!
