Saloh the Second

 

 
Description Sternness and majesty are personified here in the gaze of this man. His hair, pure white, falls straight downward toward his shoulders. The locks remain there, loosely moving about with the combination of shoulder and head movements. He owns a neatly trimmed beard that covers his face, owning a stark white color as well, yet mixed with several flecks of dark brown. Sharp eyes peer out from above it, blue in color, and seemingly a storm compared to the docile expression that his face contorts to normally. Seated over his head is a silver signet crown, a red ruble set in its center, as the band rests just above a pair of eyebrows that remain slightly darker than his hair above or below. These each hide much of the wrinkles across his faced, any attempt to hide his advanced age goes for not.

He adorns a light robe, colored red and striped with blue that travels in a line down the side of each sleeve. The robe fits lightly, but his stature cannot be ignored. He stands tall at nearly a half-head above an average man. The man's shoulders are square and pulled backward, as his back is straight and proud. Around his waist is tied a mighty belt, adorned in knobs of gold along a black leather cloth. The buckle ties the loop fast, being fashioned into a circle made of gold. The sleeves of the robe reach to his wrist, but the man's hands remain free to view. There he wears several rings upon his fingers, two, one of gold and one of copper, upon his left hand, and a single ring made of silver upon his right. Below the robe's rim, along his ankles, shows a simple pair of boots.

Background The second King of Akar, known as Saloh II, ascended to the throne after the death of the revolutionary Saloh I. Saloh II has ruled for thirty-eight years, having lead his fledgling nation through dozens of tribulations of politics, war, and terrorism. He has two sons, Asteran and Adssar, who now often conduct business on the King's behalf abroad in his advanced age.

However, the King attends to his duties and works with others to enact his wishes throughout the land.
