DISCORD LEVEL
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
At first impression, Silco can be clocked as "small". He's lean, not very tall, with pronounced features on his face. He hunches when he walks, his shoulders slumped forward, and he wears a large trench coat with a wide collar, designed just to make him look larger. He has hands that are mostly smooth -- although they sport a few scars from a youth spent stealing, mining, or fighting -- and are well-kept and manicured. His clothing looks like that of someone who had spent a lot of time picking out what would be appropriate and fine, but still shows signs of the land he came from. His pants sport a not-so subtle stripe (The official Zaunite Pattern of Choice), his boots with metal toes, and he wears a cravat instead of a tie. He looks well-off at first glance, at least from clothing and his hands alone.
However, Silco's face shows the actual damage that a hard life led him through. His lips are scarred in multiple places, and he has several on his upper lip that cut and move up toward his eye, where he has a large scar from just above his lip to his hairline, a dark cut across his face. One can see sinew and muscle below, dark and corrupted -- it's clear this isn't exposed, bloody flesh, but instead corrupted, poisoned scarring. Often, Silco will cover this scar up with makeup, and will draw in an eyebrow. The scar is large enough that he has no eyebrow on his left side. Matching the scar, a streak of white runs through his dark hair -- to match the line from his scar. Altogether, it's jarring, but it isn't the most notable feature that Silco has -- which is the large, black and orange eye. (This is where his monicker -- the Eye of Zaun -- comes from of course.) The corona of the eye glows in the dark, and while he cannot blink with it, the eye itself moves just fine.
Silco also bears a tattoo on the back of his left hand. It's fine and means absolutely nothing, right? Right. He frequently wears gloves to cover both the tattoo, and to prevent himself from inadvertently using his shimmer power. He still wears gloves a lot! But the tattoo is gone! Weird!
SHARD
Silco's shard is long, and thin. It rests at his collarbone. It's dark in hue, like oil slick, but can catch the light with greens and purples, and if just right, it will catch an electric bright neon purple. Silco's shard is normally kept hidden from sight, and it would be unusual to see his shard, unless he has been dissipated.
ASPECT TATTOO
The Harbinger Symbol is at the inside of Silco's right wrist, like an emo star tattoo.
COMMUNION
Communion with Silco is like being doused in cold, polluted water. It feels like taking a breath is difficult, like there's fingers around your throat, pain all over. The water is too-slick like it's almost more pollutants than water, and the water crashes against you, inescapable, even if you were to somehow find the ability to breathe, there is still no escape from the sickening undertow. Somewhere, perhaps deeper in the water, or something else, is a simmering, vile hatred, resentment, and it feels like it should be hot enough to make the water around you boil, even if it's almost too-placid, and too cold. Like all of this hatred is buried deep. Then again, the fact that it feels so present means it must burn so hot.
PERSONALITY
Ill tempered and vile! Next!
BACKGROUND
I'll do this later, but for summary: Former Child laborer works with his best buddy in the whole world to get in the exciting fast-paced world of smuggling, work themselves out of the mines, and then start dreaming of revolution. After that goes to shit, he holds onto the dream, but the best buddy decides to drown him and try to kill him. It's assumed that Silco did something to deserve this but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ we just don't know. Plots revenge and develops super steroids with the guy they warned you about at the academy, and then tries to take over their city and also kill the backstabby best friend. Oh, and also steals one of his kids and adopts her and ~*~makes her worse~*~ but it's fine because he loves his new daughter more than anything else??? I guess. Proud dad of a terrorist rules crime city until things go belly up.
RETAINER
Silco used to have a retainer! After the repose, he murdered him for moving the business! He's A Nice Guy! He probably won't get a new one, alas!

Writing Style: I prefer brackets, but I'm happy to match style!
Backtagging: I work a full-time job, have a million hobbies, and like to spend time with buds! I'll backtag for an eternity. I'm not always the fastest!
Tagging Speed: I try to sit down for tags daily, but I do not tag everything daily. I'm more active Fri-Sun but this is not a guarantee. I tag everything w/in a few days normally, but it will not be daily tags from me! I'm too burnt out for that these days.
Threadhopping: Go for it!
Offensive Subjects: I don't have anything in particular you need to warn for!
IN CHARACTER
Physical Violence: He has a very punchable face
Death/Dissipation: If plotted, dissipation is fine! Death is a little less negotiable because... well. Promise ring demon contract.
Physical Affection: Silco is not physically affectionate or keen on it. If it happens, it will likely garner a negative response.
Shipping/Sex: Hm. I am never opposed if it feels right, but... 😬
Mental/Communion: Sure! Silco does not like Communion, and really doesn't like people knowing things about him. So go for it!
Offensive Subjects: Silco's tags often come part and parcel with a few pretty hefty subjects. Child labor, forced drowning, eye trauma, class issues, drugs & drug use, police brutality, parental manipulation/gaslighting, codependency, and parental death. Just to name a few. If any of these make you uncomfortable, let me know, and I'm happy to exclude them from our tags! If you want to opt out, just hmu and let me know! I know Silco is A Lot and he might not be for everyone!
