[Lady March Hare]

Hello darkness my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence

Height: 6'1"

Build
Abram is usually best described as 'lanky'; he is tall and not a bit of him is wasted on fat. He has about a medium bone structure so he's no lightweight but not built to be overly bulky, and his height if pretty evenly distributed through his body. He has pretty broad feet and hands, and his fingers are usually calloused from the various shenanigans he gets himself into, his nails short and clean. He has lean, well-worn muscles which are the result of constant use and action, not any deliberate training. He's actually pretty well built, but it's difficult to tell sometimes. He has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, but is otherwise pretty evenly proportioned.
He doesn't run around with them often, but he has the ability to sport wolf ears and a tail, and does so on occasion for his job. His wolf ears are golden and situated atop his head. His human ears are also generally present when his wolf ears are out, though he can control the steps of his transformation at will, so its up for interpretation. He has a wolf tail that --once again-- matches his hair in color and falls to about his calves at it's longest.

Skin
Abram's ethnic background is Caucasian and "Gypsy"; he came out somewhere in the middle skin-color wise. Specifically, his skin tone is (according to this chart) "tan", a coloring he maintains no matter the time of year. This is partially because of his heritage, and partially because he spends so much time out in the sun. He has quite a few raised silver scars on his body, mostly all short, that come from some hard times spent against opponents using silver-tipped weapons. There aren't enough of them to cause immediate alarm, but quite a few when one goes looking for them. They are usually located on his chest, back, and/or arms.

Face
Abram is a very handsome young man, and has almost always been popular with the ladies. He has a rectangle shaped face, slightly elongated and with a strong chin. He has an average length nose for his face, which is strong and straight. He has thin, peachy pink lips, set up in the corners in a natural smile. But he's most usually wearing a warm, charming smile, so it's not always noticeable. There is a small, raised silver scar on his temple from his treacherous past, but otherwise the skin of his face is clear of blemish. He has no freckles or moles on his face. There's usually a smattering of golden stubble along his jaw because he hates to shave and is a bit of a vagabond. His expressions and good looks are something between rugged and charming; there's almost always a sparkle in his eyes and a boyish grin on his lips.

Eyes
Abram's eyes are a rich, emerald green, almost shaped, and a normal distance apart. His eyes are pretty expressive, usually alight with either mischief or amusement. He has average length eyelashes, neither overly long nor overly short, and a very deep golden color; they appear brown, probably. He has average sized brows for males evenly arched over his eyes; they are a deep golden color, like the low tones of his hair.

Hair
The style of Abram's hair is exactly like this! ( Aren't artists amazing?! >w< ) The consistency of his hair is thick and a bit course; it almost behaves more like wolf fur than human hair. But it's pretty! There's a natural wave to his hair, and he wears it a little long so that it looks a little flyaway at times. But it doesn't come across as messy as much as boyishly mussed. The color of his hair can either be described as golden or strawberry blonde.

Piercings? Tattoos?
No tattoos and no piercings; Abram really doesn't like needles.

Clothing
Entirely of your own design!
In general, Abram is a jeans and a t-shirt sort of guy. He wears a lot of band tee's and has eclectic musical tastes; I'd love it if you drew him wearing the logo of your favorite band! He never wears shoes if he can help it.

Werewolf Form
Abram is a mean, lean, killing machine, and in his wolf form, he looks it. He's about average size for a werewolf, covered all over with slightly shaggy golden fur that is almost completely uninterrupted color-wise. He has a long, narrow jaw with lots of pointy teeth, perked golden wolf ears, and a long tail. His eyes are a bright, menacing yellow in this form, and he has claws that are a bit longer and sharper than the average werewolf. Rather than being designed overmuch for speed or strength, Abram is designed to take down prey with the most ease.

Abram is a charmer, a real charmer. He's the sort of man that sports a smile first and foremost, and is always ready to make new friends. He's pretty accepting of most people (except vampires; vampires are hard for him), and is generally laid-back, optimistic, and dependable. He had sort of a nomadic upbringing that has sort of stuck with him as an adult; he tends to sleep in a different location every night, not really because he's 'sleeping around', but because he's just the sort of guy that ends up at different places when he gets sleepy. He is popular with the ladies, however; he's a charmer and a bit of a flirt, but doesn't stick with many of the girls he dates for long. It stands as a credit to that charm of his that most of his long strong of ex-girlfriends still like him enough to be friends afterwards. But he's recently fallen and fallen hard for an innocent young witch who he has terrible luck with; it's all quite unusual for him, and he doesn't have eyes for any other girl anymore. He has a bit of a shady past, in which he did some very, very bad things; Abram doesn't like to talk about it, and is good at evading discussion about it. However, Abram has accepted what he did in the past and has come to terms with it; it neither weighs him down, nor hinders him these days. He has a hidden ruthless streak, but in general he is a very pleasant guy. He's also very loyal to his werewolf pack.

Height: 5'5"

Build
To sum it up generally: slight. Lydia is a naturally thin girl. She is small boned and has a naturally fast metabolism, so fat isn't much of a factor with her. Her arms are slender and well proportioned with her body; her hands are slender and long, and her nails are only allowed just beyond the length of her finger, but are always well manicured. Her legs are a bit thin, but otherwise very shapely, her feet a little narrow but otherwise average sized for her height. She isn't dramatically hippy; Lydia's silhouette consists of gentle curves, not dramatic ones. She also isn't extremely busty, but not extremely small; she's a solid B cup. And if you're looking for muscles, Lydia's not your girl; she's soft from head to toe.

Skin
Lydia is a Caucasian; her family tree consists of mostly Caucasians. Her skin tone is (by reference of this chart) "light", with the general consistency of her skin being creamy and smooth. She has an average smattering of moles and tiny scars that she picked up through her childhood, but no scars or blemishes of particular importance or obviousness. She takes good care of her skin, but has a bad lot in burning easily.

Tattoos/Special Markings?
None whatsoever... such things are very unprofessional!

Face
Lydia is pretty; it can be a little hard to notice sometimes since she often has such a stern expression, but she is. She has a heart-shaped face (by this chart's specifics), with a bit of a pointed chin and angled cheekbones. She has an average sized forehead, and a small, pointed nose. The skin tone of her face is even and clear; she has very little natural flush in her face and no freckles to speak of. The emphasis in Lydia's face are clearly her eyes (see below). Her ears are small and mostly average for a human, with a detached lobe. Her lips are a pale pink color, and consist of a somewhat thin upper lip and a full lower lip. Lydia's expressions are often stern or serious since her business is her life, but she can be caught in surprising expressions of innocence as well; these consume her whole face as they are so unexpected. A great deal of her expression comes from her eyes.

Eyes
<-- See this reference here? The coloring is exactly what I had in mind for Lydia.
Lydia's eyes are supposed to be striking; her most noticeable feature. Her eyes are a naturally gray or silver color, and are supposed to stand out extremely well against her skin and hair; they are very noticeable. They are large and a tiny bit wide set, but pretty evenly proportioned in her face. She has very long, thick lashes that appear black, but are actually a very deep brown. Her brows are thin, gently arched, and the hue of the undertones of her hair. They are very expressive, but she is very good at controlling what emotions they show; they're the ace in her poker face. Her most common eye expression is something like this; stern, sharp, and a tad bit disproving.


Hair
Lydia has pretty healthy hair that she keeps well maintained. The consistency of her hair is very fine, making it silky and very soft with very little effort. This is the exact style I pictured for Lydia; her bangs are straight and cut to skim her eyebrows, covering most of her forehead. The hair about the crown of her head is straight, then from about ear-level downward is kept in open, loose, romantic looking curls. The length of her hair falls to about the bottom of her ribcage, as in this image, and is more often than not left loose and flowing. The arrangement of her bangs isn't really important; she's often brushing them aside, so any arrangement they happen to be drawn in will probably be accurate enough for Lydia. Her hair is a brownish red color... or maybe a reddish brown; the reference image calls it "Dark Copper". But whatever it is, that's Lydia's hair tone. She doesn't really believe in dying it, so she doesn't; this is her natural hair color, and something she inherited from her mother. If it turns out looking a little more reddish or a little more brownish, that's fine... but the reference image is exact, haha.


Piercings?
Lydia has the standard earlobe piercing, which she has had her whole life. But she doesn't wear earrings too often, so it can be somewhat hard to notice. Otherwise, Lydia has no other piercings, mostly because she doesn't consider them to be very professional.

Clothing
Entirely of your own design!
Lydia would prefer it if she were always depicted in business clothes. Think crisp button up shirts and pencil skirts, panty hose, heels, and a tie 'business clothes'. But she can't be caught in that all the time, so feel free to draw her in something comfortable that she lounges around her apartment in if you'd like. And if you really want to make her blush, give her a pair of slip on fake fairy wings, like the little kids wear on Halloween.

Lydia is a young woman who has just come back to town to take over her mother's position as president of an extremely large pharmaceuticals company. It is a position she has been groomed for and accepts with enthusiasm despite the doubt surrounding her ability to do so well. She is devoted to keeping her mother's company afloat and successful in her mother's memory. She lives, eats, and drinks the business; she even lives on the top floor of the building's HQ. Lydia is very straightforward, no-nonsense, and stubborn. She has been kidnapped so many times for ransom that she has become an expert on escaping, and has a blase, impatient regard for people who waste her time in such ways. She is the president and demands efficiency, and she finds business fun. In fact, it's a bit weird for her when she learns that people don't come to work just because they love it so gosh darn much. She is in love with a long time friend, Abram, but is struggling to get over her feelings since they can never be returned; as such, it has made her somewhat oblivious to the feelings the businessman she is pretending to date to make herself look more stable has for her. She secretly gushes over fairies and fairy tales, and clumsily pretends not to when she catches someone watching her. She has terrible eating habits, often sleeps at her desk, and is a strong believer in accepting people for what they are.

Lydia's Soundtrack

[Lady March Hare]

Height: 5'11"

Build:
To look at him, his frame appears rather average. Graham has about medium sized bones, very good posture, and little to no body fat. His body is mostly streamlined, with his proportions relatively balanced. He's rather muscular, but not in a bulky sort; his muscles come from a life of wrestling people's faces under water for a living or running in his alternate form, not from a gym or any specific physical fitness regiment.

Skin:
The racial equivalent to describe Graham's skin color would probably most accurately be 'Caucasian'; he's pasty. He's a very, very pale man; his skin can has sometimes been described as sallow. He has no freckles or moles whatsoever, and very few to no scars despite his lifestyle.

Tattoos/Special Markings?:
Graham has a ton of them. No tattoos, but he was born with lines of nonsense text running all over his body. Starting on the back of his hands, the text twists up both arms and shoulders, crosses at the back, loops around his torso, and continues down around both legs until concluding at the top of his feet. The text is continuous, allowing for no breaks, and appears to be black ink with a greenish tinge like you'd expect to see from tattoos. The writing is actually in a language used only by the Kelpies, and depicts the names of all his male ancestors chronologically. Neither his face nor his neck have the texts on them.
<-- Think something along the lines of this, which I totally stole. It's Tolkien's elvish writing. What I'm looking for is NOT Elvish... just something like it. You know, the general feel? Or if you need a different reference, Gaelic scripts. Something flowing and folksy and mysterious looking. ^_^; It doesn't have to be the same and it doesn't have to mean anything; gibberish is just fine. Nobody can read it but Graham and his peeps anyway.

Face
Graham's face is a bit of a lesson in contradictions; there is something strange and frightening about his features, but also appealing. His face is very angular, with high, prominent cheekbones and a straight, pointed nose. He has a high brow that is rarely seen behind all of that hair, and his lips are thin, pale, and set up in the corners in a natural sort of little smile. Indeed, it is often that he is grinning, showing off broad white teeth in the process every time. The general air to his expression is often mischievous, no matter what it is he's doing.

Eyes
Graham's eyes are easily his most prominent physical feature. They are a sort of combination of the two images you see to the right. (I hope this doesn't get confusing!) The shape of his eyes falls in line with the first image; angular, slightly slanted eyes closely topped by thin brows that match the low tones in his hair. The first image eye also matches the coloring of Graham's eyes; where, in the human eye, there would usually be white there is instead black from corner to corner, with a golden iris. The pupil most resembles the second picture; instead of the wicked slant of the first image, he has a rich golden pupil/iris combination.
█████ = "white" part of eye color = #000000
█████ = iris/pupil = #ffbf00
(^^ These exact colors can totally be left up to artistic interpertation; I'm just trying to be clear about the idea. ^_^;; )
His eyelashes are short, dark, and hardly noticeable.
Graham's eyes are very expressive; they reflect every flickering of emotion that he feels. More often than not they seem ominous or wicked at first, and while Graham certainly can be that, it isn't really his default mode. After all, his eyes can spark with amusement just as quickly as they can with malice.

Hair:
<-- That's the general feel of it. ^_^;
Graham's hair is longish for a man; the tips hitting about to his shoulder blades. It is messy, shaggy, and gives the general appearance of being a bit ignored, but not to the point where it's overtly sloppy. His hair is course like a horse's mane and has a strong sheen to it when it hits the light. He wears it in a variety of ways, generally preferring to keep it loose unless he's working; then he ties it back into a ponytail so it will stay out of the way. He has bangs and they're usually falling into his eyes a bit... personally, I think he likes having something to mess with when he's talking to people. He 'styles' his hair by letting it dry in whatever shape it's fallen into when he exits the water... if he weren't so strangely handsome, he'd probably be shunned. The color of his hair is actually a very, very deep green, but in most lightings it can appear black with only a green hue to it.
█████ = #000d01
^^ Probably something like that.

Piercings?: None. Graham doesn't believe in them. He believes in being au natural... er, at least that's what he tells people when they ask.

Water Horse Form
Think of a Clydesdale. Big, strong, powerful, and very, very impressive by way of build. He stands much, much taller than an average man. His mane is wild and free, of the same color of his hair in human form; his tail is also in the same manner, and trails down to the ground, often tangled with bits of seaweed and general loc flotsam. The fur of his body is a pure, ghostly white, and his hooves are the same black/green color of his mane and tail. His eyes retain the same gold/black color scheme that they have in his human form, along with the extremely expressive capabilities they hold.

Personality goes here.

Lydia's OCR 'Official' Form Filled out

Height: 5'4"

Build
To sum it up generally: slight. Lydia is a naturally thin girl. She is small boned and has a naturally fast metabolism, so fat isn't much of a factor with her. Her arms are slender and well proportioned with her body; her hands are slender and long, and her nails are only allowed just beyond the length of her finger, but are always well manicured. Her legs are a bit thin, but otherwise very shapely, her feet a little narrow but otherwise average sized for her height. She isn't dramatically hippy; Lydia's silhouette consists of gentle curves, not dramatic ones. She also isn't extremely busty, but not extremely small; she's a solid B cup. And if you're looking for muscles, Lydia's not your girl; she's soft from head to toe.
Example: Very similar to this image

Skin
Lydia is a Caucasian; her family tree consists of mostly Caucasians. Her skin tone is (by reference of this chart) "light", with the general consistency of her skin being creamy and smooth. She has an average smattering of moles and tiny scars that she picked up through her childhood, but no scars or blemishes of particular importance or obviousness. She takes good care of her skin, but has a bad lot in burning easily.

Tattoos/Special Markings?
None whatsoever... such things are very unprofessional!

Face
Lydia is pretty; it can be a little hard to notice sometimes since she often has such a stern expression, but she is. She has a heart-shaped face (by this chart's specifics), with a bit of a pointed chin and angled cheekbones. She has an average sized forehead, and a small, pointed nose. The skin tone of her face is even and clear; she has very little natural flush in her face and no freckles to speak of. The emphasis in Lydia's face are clearly her eyes (see below). Her ears are small and mostly average for a human, with a detached lobe. Her lips are a pale pink color, and consist of a somewhat thin upper lip and a full lower lip. Lydia's expressions are often stern or serious since her business is her life, but she can be caught in surprising expressions of innocence as well; these consume her whole face as they are so unexpected. A great deal of her expression comes from her eyes.

Eyes
<-- See this reference here? The coloring is exactly what I had in mind for Lydia.
Lydia's eyes are supposed to be striking; her most noticeable feature. Her eyes are a naturally gray or silver color, and are supposed to stand out extremely well against her skin and hair; they are very noticeable. They are large and a tiny bit wide set, but pretty evenly proportioned in her face. She has very long, thick lashes that appear black, but are actually a very deep brown. Her brows are thin, gently arched, and the hue of the undertones of her hair. They are very expressive, but she is very good at controlling what emotions they show; they're the ace in her poker face. Her most common eye expression is something like this; stern, sharp, and a tad bit disproving.


Hair
Lydia has pretty healthy hair that she keeps well maintained. The consistency of her hair is very fine, making it silky and very soft with very little effort. This is the exact style I pictured for Lydia; her bangs are straight and cut to skim her eyebrows, covering most of her forehead. The hair about the crown of her head is straight, then from about ear-level downward is kept in open, loose, romantic looking curls. The length of her hair falls to about the bottom of her ribcage, as in this image, and is more often than not left loose and flowing. The arrangement of her bangs isn't really important; she's often brushing them aside, so any arrangement they happen to be drawn in will probably be accurate enough for Lydia. Her hair is a brownish red color... or maybe a reddish brown; the reference image calls it "Dark Copper". But whatever it is, that's Lydia's hair tone. She doesn't really believe in dying it, so she doesn't; this is her natural hair color, and something she inherited from her mother. If it turns out looking a little more reddish or a little more brownish, that's fine... but the reference image is exact, haha.


Piercings?
Lydia has the standard earlobe piercing, which she has had her whole life. But she doesn't wear earrings too often, so it can be somewhat hard to notice. Otherwise, Lydia has no other piercings, mostly because she doesn't consider them to be very professional.

Clothing
Entirely of your own design!
Lydia would prefer it if she were always depicted in business clothes. Think crisp button up shirts and pencil skirts, panty hose, heels, and a tie 'business clothes'. But she can't be caught in that all the time, so feel free to draw her in something comfortable that she lounges around her apartment in if you'd like. And if you really want to make her blush, give her a pair of slip on fake fairy wings, like the little kids wear on Halloween.

Lydia is a young woman who has just come back to town to take over her mother's position as president of an extremely large pharmaceuticals company. It is a position she has been groomed for and accepts with enthusiasm despite the doubt surrounding her ability to do so well. She is devoted to keeping her mother's company afloat and successful in her mother's memory. She lives, eats, and drinks the business; she even lives on the top floor of the building's HQ. Lydia is very straightforward, no-nonsense, and stubborn. She has been kidnapped so many times for ransom that she has become an expert on escaping, and has a blase, impatient regard for people who waste her time in such ways. She is the president and demands efficiency, and she finds business fun. In fact, it's a bit weird for her when she learns that people don't come to work just because they love it so gosh darn much. She is in love with a long time friend, Abram, but is struggling to get over her feelings since they can never be returned; as such, it has made her somewhat oblivious to the feelings the businessman she is pretending to date to make herself look more stable has for her. She secretly gushes over fairies and fairy tales, and clumsily pretends not to when she catches someone watching her. She has terrible eating habits, often sleeps at her desk, and is a strong believer in accepting people for what they are.

Abram's OCR Officially Filled Out Form

Height: 6'1"

Build
Abram is usually best described as 'lanky'; he is tall and not a bit of him is wasted on fat. He has about a medium bone structure so he's no lightweight but not built to be overly bulky, and his height if pretty evenly distributed through his body. He has pretty broad feet and hands, and his fingers are usually calloused from the various shenanigans he gets himself into, his nails short and clean. He has lean, well-worn muscles which are the result of constant use and action, not any deliberate training. He's actually pretty well built, but it's difficult to tell sometimes.
Very Much Like This
He doesn't run around with them often, but he has the ability to sport wolf ears and a tail, and does so on occasion for his job. His wolf ears are golden and situated atop his head. His human ears are also generally present when his wolf ears are out, though he can control the steps of his transformation at will, so its up for interpretation. He has a wolf tail that --once again-- matches his hair in color and falls to about his calves at it's longest.

Skin
Abram's ethnic background is Caucasian and "Gypsy"; he came out somewhere in the middle skin-color wise. Specifically, his skin tone is (according to this chart) "tan", a coloring he maintains no matter the time of year. This is partially because of his heritage, and partially because he spends so much time out in the sun. He has quite a few raised silver scars on his body, mostly all short, that come from some hard times spent against opponents using silver-tipped weapons. There aren't enough of them to cause immediate alarm, but quite a few when one goes looking for them. They are usually located on his chest, back, and/or arms.

Face
Abram is a very handsome young man, and has almost always been popular with the ladies. He has a rectangle shaped face, slightly elongated and with a strong chin. He has an average length nose for his face, which is strong and straight. He has thin, peachy pink lips, set up in the corners in a natural smile. But he's most usually wearing a warm, charming smile, so it's not always noticeable. There is a small, raised silver scar on his temple from his treacherous past, but otherwise the skin of his face is clear of blemish. He has no freckles or moles on his face. There's usually a smattering of golden stubble along his jaw because he hates to shave and is a bit of a vagabond. His expressions and good looks are something between rugged and charming; there's almost always a sparkle in his eyes and a boyish grin on his lips.

Eyes
Abram's eyes are a rich, emerald green, almost shaped, and a normal distance apart. His eyes are pretty expressive, usually alight with either mischief or amusement. He has average length eyelashes, neither overly long nor overly short, and a very deep golden color; they appear brown, probably. He has average sized brows for males evenly arched over his eyes; they are a deep golden color, like the low tones of his hair.

Hair
The style of Abram's hair is exactly like this! ( Aren't artists amazing?! >w< ) The consistency of his hair is thick and a bit course; it almost behaves more like wolf fur than human hair. But it's pretty! There's a natural wave to his hair, and he wears it a little long so that it looks a little flyaway at times. But it doesn't come across as messy as much as boyishly mussed. The color of his hair can either be described as golden or strawberry blonde.

Piercings? Tattoos?
No tattoos and no piercings; Abram really doesn't like needles.

Clothing
Entirely of your own design!
In general, Abram is a jeans and a t-shirt sort of guy. He wears a lot of band tee's and has eclectic musical tastes; I'd love it if you drew him wearing the logo of your favorite band! He never wears shoes if he can help it.

Werewolf Form
Abram is a mean, lean, killing machine, and in his wolf form, he looks it. He's about average size for a werewolf, covered all over with slightly shaggy golden fur that is almost completely uninterrupted color-wise. He has a long, narrow jaw with lots of pointy teeth, perked golden wolf ears, and a long tail. His eyes are a bright, menacing yellow in this form, and he has claws that are a bit longer and sharper than the average werewolf. Rather than being designed overmuch for speed or strength, Abram is designed to take down prey with the most ease.

Abram is a charmer, a real charmer. He's the sort of man that sports a smile first and foremost, and is always ready to make new friends. He's pretty accepting of most people (except vampires; vampires are hard for him), and is generally laid-back, optimistic, and dependable. He had sort of a nomadic upbringing that has sort of stuck with him as an adult; he tends to sleep in a different location every night, not really because he's 'sleeping around', but because he's just the sort of guy that ends up at different places when he gets sleepy. He is popular with the ladies, however; he's a charmer and a bit of a flirt, but doesn't stick with many of the girls he dates for long. It stands as a credit to that charm of his that most of his long string of ex-girlfriends still like him enough to be friends afterwards. But he's recently fallen and fallen hard for an innocent young witch who he has terrible luck with; it's all quite unusual for him, and he doesn't have eyes for any other girl anymore. He has a bit of a shady past, in which he did some very, very bad things; Abram doesn't like to talk about it, and is good at evading discussion about it. However, Abram has accepted what he did in the past and has come to terms with it; it neither weighs him down, nor hinders him these days. He has a hidden ruthless streak, but in general he is a very pleasant guy. He's also very loyal to his werewolf pack.

Graham's OCR Official Filled Out Form

Height: 5'11"

Build
Graham has about medium sized bones, very good posture, and little to no body fat. His body is mostly streamlined, with his proportions relatively balanced. He's rather muscular, but not in a bulky sort; his muscles come from a life of wrestling people's faces under water for a living or running in his alternate form, not from a gym or any specific physical fitness regiment.
Build Example

Skin
The racial equivalent to describe Graham's skin color would probably most accurately be 'Caucasian'; he's pasty. Hey, even this chart says so! At times it can be described as sallow, meaning it has a very, very faint greenish tint. He has no freckles or moles whatsoever, and very few to no scars despite his lifestyle.

Tattoos/Special Markings?
Graham has a ton of them. No tattoos, but he was born with lines of nonsense text running all over his body. Starting on the back of his hands, the text twists up both arms and shoulders, crosses at the back, loops around his torso, and continues down around both legs until concluding at the top of his feet. The text is continuous, allowing for no breaks, and appears to be black ink with a greenish tinge like you'd expect to see from tattoos. The writing is actually in a language used only by the Kelpies, and depicts the names of all his male ancestors chronologically. Neither his face nor his neck have the texts on them.
<-- Think something along the lines of this, which I totally stole. It's Tolkien's elvish writing. What I'm looking for is NOT Elvish... just something like it. You know, the general feel? Or if you need a different reference, Gaelic scripts. Something flowing and folksy and mysterious looking. ^_^; It doesn't have to be the same and it doesn't have to mean anything; gibberish is just fine. Nobody can read it but Graham and his peeps anyway.

Face
Graham's face is a bit of a lesson in contradictions; there is something strange and frightening about his features, but also appealing. His face is very angular, with high, prominent cheekbones and a straight, pointed nose. He has a high brow that is rarely seen behind all of that hair, and his lips are thin, pale, and set up in the corners in a natural sort of little smile. Indeed, it is often that he is grinning, showing off broad white teeth in the process every time. The general air to his expression is often mischievous, no matter what it is he's doing.

Eyes
Graham's eyes are easily his most prominent physical feature. They are a sort of combination of the two images you see to the right. (I hope this doesn't get confusing!) The shape of his eyes falls in line with the first image; angular, slightly slanted eyes closely topped by thin brows that match the low tones in his hair. The first image eye also matches the coloring of Graham's eyes; where, in the human eye, there would usually be white there is instead black from corner to corner, with a golden iris. The pupil most resembles the second picture; instead of the wicked slant of the first image, he has a rich golden pupil/iris combination.
█████ = "white" part of eye color = #000000
█████ = iris/pupil = #ffbf00
(^^ These exact colors can totally be left up to artistic interpertation; I'm just trying to be clear about the idea. ^_^;; )
His eyelashes are short, dark, and hardly noticeable.
Graham's eyes are very expressive; they reflect every flickering of emotion that he feels. More often than not they seem ominous or wicked at first, and while Graham certainly can be that, it isn't really his default mode. After all, his eyes can spark with amusement just as quickly as they can with malice.

Hair
<-- That's the general feel of it. ^_^;
Graham's hair is longish for a man; the tips hitting about to his shoulder blades. It is messy, shaggy, and gives the general appearance of being a bit ignored, but not to the point where it's overtly sloppy. His hair is course like a horse's mane and has a strong sheen to it when it hits the light. He wears it in a variety of ways, generally preferring to keep it loose unless he's working; then he ties it back into a ponytail so it will stay out of the way. He has bangs and they're usually falling into his eyes a bit... personally, I think he likes having something to mess with when he's talking to people. He 'styles' his hair by letting it dry in whatever shape it's fallen into when he exits the water... if he weren't so strangely handsome, he'd probably be shunned. The color of his hair is actually a very, very deep green, but in most lightings it can appear black with only a green hue to it.
█████ = #000d01
^^ Probably something like that.

Piercings?
None. Graham doesn't believe in them. He believes in being au natural... er, at least that's what he tells people when they ask.

Water Horse Form
Think of a Clydesdale. Big, strong, powerful, and very, very impressive by way of build. He stands much, much taller than an average man. His mane is wild and free, of the same color of his hair in human form; his tail is also in the same manner, and trails down to the ground, often tangled with bits of seaweed and general loc flotsam. The fur of his body is a pure, ghostly white, and his hooves are the same black/green color of his mane and tail. His eyes retain the same gold/black color scheme that they have in his human form, along with the extremely expressive capabilities they hold.

Graham is... likable, I guess. He's a friendly enough guy, always ready to welcome people and talk to them. He doesn't really seem like it, but he's a pretty hard worker; he's working in a morgue to pay for medical school, so though he jokes about it a lot, he takes his work seriously. Not that he always has; this is 'turning over a new leaf' for him. In the old days he was brutal; like all Kelpies he was fond of tricking people into either climbing on his back in horse form or taking his hand in human form and drowning them in the nearest body of water. What can we say; he's very persuasive. Not that he's a murderer by choice; at heart he was a thief, and the drowning attempts were just part of his M.O. for lifting their possessions. But after spending a stint enslaved by a very clever human who made him work as a common horse, Graham rethought his life plan. He's trying to become a doctor so he can give back fo all the horrible things he did in the pa-..... oh, no, wait; he wants to be able to make a lot of money. Graham likes luxurious circumstances, having money, and flaunt it. He's also a major flirt... skirts just fill him with a kind of joy that you just can't understand. So he's a bit of a pervert. But he's dependable enough when you get to know him, and though he doesn't give off this vibe, he can be loyal. Not to MANY people, but occasionally.
