King Lae'Wyn Yioun of the Shadow and Luthian, great war lord of the ancient worlds.

His character lives before really anything, when hostile tribes roamed Luthian, fighting each other for power, territory, food, and most likely mates. At this time Most of Luthian had been conquered by the Shadow elves, which, believe it or not, are crazy super warriors with terrifying combat skills. So, Lae'Wyn here, who wears a robe with a large hood and a mask to cover his entire body because no one (accept his wife) was allowed to see the skin of the man who was chosen by the Gods themselves, had to fight back the tribes from regaining the land in Luthian.

This is again at the time when men were to be completely covered. So, being noble and a man, Lae'Wyn was never seen by anyone other than his very close family and wife, whom he loved very very much, no matter how much trouble she got into. ;)

Aww thank you! :D Of course, they wouldn't be so thought out if I didn't have ~Alune to bounce ideas off of. but I do try to find a reason for everything. ^_^

Oh yes he did! It was a very interesting time in which he ruled, where the government was very secluded and not so intimate with the kingdom itself. In fact, the entire palace was forbidden to anyone in the city, and it caused a great uproar when Lae'Wyn's councilors picked an outsider with no noble connection to become the Queen. They did not wish to 'water down' the royal blood in the Yioun line. Of course, Lae'Wyn refused to marry his cousin. :giggle: AND it is because of his wife ( ~Alune 's character: Nyema) that Darchen Yioun has his purple eyes. Just a side note...
hah. Sorry I just gave you a history lesson.

The detail on the mask is amazing and I'm totally digging the idea of a man (rather than a woman) hid his face.

If it's a good laugh, it deserves to be laughed at.

Thanks! I really liked the idea, and it has become a kind of obsession with masks of all kinds.
