Appearance


Height:6'1"
Build:
195 lbs Fit
Eye Color:Brown
Hair:Black
Skintone:Fair, typically Scotch.
Distinguishing Features:He has a compact, force-capable (but still fast) build that makes it obvious he could absolutely kick your ass. Malakai's features are still clear under the human guise, making him a very handsome man.
Notable Gear:Always armed if at all possible, usually with a handgun (as it isn't really explainable for a businessman to carry around a bastard sword).
