Shahilesh
This fellow is inspired by a dream I had.
The dream that inspired him went something like this;
There was a volcano. It was active, always had a pool of molten lava in the top of it and it was always surrounded by voilent thunder storms. The mountain was cloaked in darkness other then the eery glow of the lava. It was said to be terribly dangerous, and that a powerful being known as "The Dark One" dwelt within.
There was a story, that if you could make it to the top of the volcano, and throw an offering to the lava, the "Dark One" would grant a single wish for you.
Hearing this story, I gathered some items, and made the treacherous climb to the mouth of the volcano, carrying with me offerings. I wasn't interested in making the wish, I was simply VERY curious about whatever lived in that volcano. My offering was a sandwich, a piece of pumpkin pie, a few gold coins, and a couple other things. I placed them in the lava, and watched as they sank in instead of burning up.
Much to my frustration, my wallet fell into the lava, and I cursed.
Then, to my complete and utter surprise, the wallet rose back out - the "Dark One" gave it back to me, fully intact and untouched by his flames. I thanked him.
So, we started to talk. Found out that this "Dark One" was actually very lonely and had been sealed away for something he had not done; He was not evil at all. He had been blamed for villages being buried under lava, simply because he was a being of fire and lava. He wanted a friend... And more then anything, he wanted to be free. He wasn't the terrifying evil being everybody thought he was; he only acted it to frighten people off. He didn't want getting wishes from him easy, so he used what power he had to make his prison intimidating and frightening.
Realizing that I had not thought of a wish, an idea struck me.
I stood over the lava pool and said "Oh Great Dark One - my wish is for you to be free of your binding."
There was stunned silence, before his bindings broke, and he started to rise from the lava. I woke up before I got a good view of him. I got his basic shape, something horned, tall, and muscled.
~~~~~~~
He is meant to have a very strong face, with a firm jaw and strong chin. His features are meant to be quite chizeled and handsome, while his body is quite muscular. (Not grossly so) So while his face is Elven, his build is bigger and bulkier. His hair is iridescent, so when the light hits it it shines and shimmers in fiery colors.
Shahilesh has dragonlike talons, that glow like fire. Lava colored. His hands and feet are humanoid, though his hands are quite strong.
He has no tail. His body is very human looking. I figure he has markings on his shoulders, back , and hips. Some on his hands, maybe. The markings he has on his palms look similar to the marking on his forehead.
His teeth are black like obsidian, though his tongue and gums are red orange like lava.
The marking on his back would be similar as well, kinda following the theme of the markings on his face.
Also, he has the ability to spit lava at great distances. It looks hilariously like he's projectile vomiting whilst looking pissed with his fangs showing. But you do NOT want to be in the path of that attack.
Shahilesh is actually VERY calm for the most part, Like a dormant volcano. But when he gets pissed... You don't want to be within 1000 miles of him. Fortunately, he's old enough to have learned to control his power quite well, so he rarely if ever loses control or causes damage to things he does not want to cause damage to.
