Arthurus Lightfoot

Appearance

Physical Description

Small but vibrant with kinetic energy—every motion seems purposeful yet whimsical. His body is wiry, agile, and full of life, like a dancer or clockwork spring wound too tight. He’s surprisingly strong for his size due to years of forging and crafting. Despite his compact frame, he carries himself like someone much taller—his confidence fills the room before his voice does.

Body Features

• Lightly tanned skin with a faint golden warmth that seems to glow subtly when he’s deep in thought or crafting.
  
  
  


• His hands bear the fine calluses and micro-burns of a lifelong artisan, but even those look deliberate—like sigils of creation.
  
  
  


• Small traces of metallic dust shimmer on his forearms, almost permanent from years of working divine alloys.
  
  
  


• A leather harness holds tools and vials, each etched with intricate runes that hum faintly.
  

Facial Features

• Youthful, mischievous face with a smile that can disarm kings and charm gods.
  
  
  


• His golden-yellow eyes are flecked with sapphire bursts, resembling molten gold meeting starlight—always bright, always moving.
  
  
  


• Slightly rounded cheeks that make his grin even more infectious.
  
  
  


• Tousled, messy chestnut hair with a few lighter strands that catch the light, like copper filaments.
  
  
  


• His goggles usually rest on his head; the lenses glint with faint arcane runes.
  

Identifying Characteristics

• A tiny golden anvil pendant—his personal divine symbol—rests over his heart, glowing faintly when he forges or creates.
  
  
  


• A faint sigil tattoo encircles his right wrist: a blend of gnomish runes and divine geometry that represents the Blueprint of Creation.
  
  
  


• Always wears one mismatched earring—one gear-shaped, the other a droplet of sapphire. He claims they help him “hear the heartbeat of the forge.”
  
  
  


• His attire (as seen in the image) is a blend of traveler and artisan: a vest and belts full of compartments, scrolls, and gadgets, all somehow arranged with chaotic elegance.
  

Physical quirks

Constantly fidgets—rolling tools between his fingers, clicking his tongue, adjusting his goggles mid-sentence.

• When he’s excited or thinking, his eyes literally glow brighter, the sapphire sparks flaring like tiny stars.
  
  
  


• Skips, hops, or spins in place when pleased with an idea.
  
  
  


• Laughs in bursts—quick, sharp, musical, infectious.
  
  
  

Has a habit of snapping his fingers to punctuate sentences, often causing minor magical sparks or effects.
