Artur
Acker
Grandson of Bleys of Amber, Great-Grandson of Brand of Brandenburg
Trump Descripion
Artur stands around 6'2", and weighs probably 175lb. He looks to be is in his early thirties, although he often seems younger at first glance. He has a lean, wiry build, and well defined musculature that reveals there isn't an ounce of fat on him.
His hair is decidedly more red than blond nowadays, worn longer than military cut and is inclined to curl. This frames a sharply defined face, with a complexion tending towards the pale Celtic, distinct cheekbones, and hazel eyes which appear to observe everything keenly. And yet behind the intelligence, there is something which makes him look old beyond his years.
He is pictured wearing a dark blue suit over a lighter blue shirt which is open at the neck. There is an oakleaf pin on the lapel of his suit jacket. He is standing in some kind of stone-built, underground chamber, with a vaulted ceiling, illuminated by carefully positioned lighting.
Astral Form
Artur’s astral form is his idealised view of himself. His hair is longer and darker, his eyes are blue and more piercing, and his build is more solid than his usual light frame. He also has more presence in that form, probably related to his strength of mind and occult knowledge, although his expression is considerably more manic. He is dressed in some kind of high-necked jerkin in a dark grey fabric, with green and black leather decorations, under a dark leather jacket with gold highlights, with green leather trousers. Blue and yellow flames seem to flicker about him, although they seem part of him rather than showing any sign of causing him harm.
