ABOUT GILNORUIL
Gilnoruil exists in multiple incarnations - the main ones and those I will RP him in are in World of Warcraft, Baldurâs Gate 3, and an original low-fantasy Universe.
Unless specified, I will default to whichever I feel fits to your character or in the case of asks, whichever I feel like at the time.
Hereâs a quick overview of each of them! Art on this page by me.
General Mannerisms:Â Very very rarely contracts his words (he will say âdo notâ over âdonâtâ) and if he ever does itâs usually a sign of stress.
General Need to Knows:Â Generally abrasive and slow to trust. Curt, but polite. Can be violent if sufficiently provoked. Heâs also quite verbose when he gets talking.
Not open to shipping and he will respond to romantic attention accordingly.

Hair: Black with silver highlights. The silver is at the front, which is usually pulled into four braids over the top of his head, and at the tips.
Eyes: Silver-purple with draconic pupils. If you get close enough, he has sparks in them that look like the reflections of stars.

Tail with dark reddish-purple scales and fanned fins that give off a soft blue glow, along with some âcracksâ in the upper scales that emit the same light. Fangs in place of his canines. He can hide these features and look like a plain half-elf, but most of the time he refuses.

What is Gil's favourite way to spend his free time?
"In a word, music."
He gestured towards a nearby display cabinet, which houses a multitude of instruments; fiddles, lutes, a few woodwinds, and a small arm-held harp.
"Also piano although I do not own one of my own. Yet."
"I enjoy playing all of these and can use my skills to generate coin if I require some. I write scores and lyrics both, although I do not sing in public. Halla keeps encouraging me to do so, but for me it is... Too personal..."
// It's the same across his verses, although the Mer does sing in front of others - both to use his siren powers and just for pleasure as well.
If anyone is curious as to what he sounds like when he sings, his voiceclaim is Vessel from Sleep Token =3
// This is Gilnor's 'ultimate' theme song that spans all his incarnations. As soon as I heard it, it was just IT for him - and is one of my two favourite songs of all time.
And just like the rain,
You cast the dust into nothing,
And wash out the salt from my hands.
So touch me again,
I feel my shadow dissolving,
Will you cleanse me with pleasure?
