Maladin

Intense green eyes peer at you from the card. They remind you of a cat, and so does the man who owns them. A tall, lanky fellow leans his back against the polished chrome curve of some space faring vehicle. Behind him can be seen a world with violet skies and the crystal spires of some far flung city of dreams. His hair is dark and falls to his shoulders in the slightest of waves, and on his face he wears a trim mustache and pointed goatee. He wears a worn leather outfit that reminds you of your favorite rogue. Two swords mark his belt, much in the fashion of the Samurai of Earth, and slung low on his leg is a holstered pistol of some alien design. He seems relaxed and at ease, smiling to the viewer with his favorite lopsided grin.
