Description
GRAYDEN |
---|
At just over six feet tall with black hair and eyes justifiably called "piercingly blue," Grayden has the good fortune to be handsome without straying too far into the territory of pretty. His build is such a one that probably requires at least some upkeep, trim but not chiseled, with a fair complexion that probably appreciates a temperate climate. He often sports a sunburn in the summer, and there are crow's feet forming at the corners of his eyes from squinting against a daylight glare. Although his features are well-made with a straight nose, a fine smile, dark brows, and the occasional dusting of a beard along his jawline, it's really his eyes that stand out among them - bright, electric blue with sparse lashes.
A well-kempt sort of person, Grayden keeps himself neatly shaved and is almost always tidy. He keeps his dark, brown-black hair clipped neatly short, never letting it get long enough that the strands fall across his forehead farther than his eyebrows. His attire shows a similar attention to detail, although he has a tendency to favor dark colors - midnight blue, black, dark red, everything neatly tailored to him and in good repair, with the blander colors of beige or brown reserved for working attire. In fact, his wardrobe borders on "dandy" in style, with his buttons always set just so, his cuffs nice and crisp, little bits of attention to detail overall.
History
It's enough to know that Grayden arrived at Xanadu one fine day with a good bit of money in his pockets and a clear-cut willingness to put it to good use - namely, to make more of the same. He's undoubtedly had personal ups-and-downs in his life, but intense privacy has generally kept those issues from becoming public knowledge. Rumor has it that he brokered a deal with the Weyrwoman Thea and Steward Jethaniel to lease the Rustic Treetop Cafe, making him proprietor and manager.
Everything else is… well, he's not the type to spill his guts, so most people probably don't know any more than that anyway.
