So, let’s talk about Izumi.
Normally, while Izumi appears to be human for the most part, he does have a few subtle tells that give him away as a non-human. Namely, he can’t hide his claws, so he wears gloves all of the time. They have the effect of making sure he doesn’t gouge holes into everything he grabs as well. His pupils are slits much like a reptile’s as well as having a nictitating membrane, though it’s fairly hard to notice the membrane unless you’re looking him in the eyes. They also glow, it’s a fairly subtle one most of the time, but in the dark it’s definitely noticeable.
When it comes to his horns and wings, he has two sets of horns, one pair curves upward while the other curves sideways, forming an odd crown of sorts. Towards the tips, they have a glow and occasionally when he channels his magic, they arc lightning across them. His wings take on a more spectral form most of the time, but when he’s not hiding his features, they form out of his back, and they have a leathery texture. They’re fully capable of wrapping around him, much like a cloak. They have a scale pattern on the outer layer, which are azure in color.
Izumi gains scales over his body, mostly around his eyes, cheeks, neck and along his body. They’re surprisingly soft to the touch.
His teeth are always sharp, though it’s most noticeable in his canines. He can bite through steel pretty easily even in his human form. So he uses magically reinforced utensils so that he doesn’t wind up chewing on the metal.
He’s cold-blooded, so during winter seasons, he finds himself a lot sleepier. Thus he keeps his home fairly warm, and can often be found around his fireplace with a book. Expect him to sleep a lot more, and if you’re naturally warm, you have now become his personal heater. When he’s not at home, he’ll wear his coat which is enchanted with a thermal spell to keep him warm in the outdoors. During warm seasons, he’ll enchant his clothes with a cooling spell so that he doesn’t overheat. He functions the best in middling seasons much like Spring and Fall.
He’s fairly tall, coming in at 6′3 in his human form, and when he’s partially transformed, he gains about two feet in height. In his human form, he’s fairly svelte, though his clothes hide a well toned physique. He’s less ripped and more lean muscle.
His tail reaches to the ground and is fully prehensile, and he can pick things up with it and even use it in a fight. He prefers tripping people with it if he ever fights them in that form though.
