She never knew where he had come from. In a way, it never really mattered. They were in this together, to the bitter end. He had been her comfort and clarity through even the most pressing of times. He had been the strength and rhythm she felt welling in her body when she let go of all other thought. He helped her become who she is, yet no one would ever know about him.

This outfit is largely inspired by the concept of djinn and ifrit within Arabic mythology. As such, it also carries some Elonian themes, including a bit of flavor from Abaddon and his lore.
I can't say I'm totally sold on the inclusion of that particular greatsword and dagger (largely because they're Canthan), but the scepter is something I think fits very well in appearance.
Edit: Added some brighter screenshots.

 Elessar Taralom Fashionista | While I feel you could have been a little bit more creative with the armour mix, I really like the overall vibe of your character, especially his hair and dark skin tone They harmonize very well with your particular dye scheme (the fuchsia in there looks really neat!) and gives him quite the character I definitely see your inspiration with the djin here and you took some good screens to match your story, even though you should have maybe taken some with a little more light Overall still a really nice character and worthy of a gold! |

 Eremite Fashionista | When I saw the main screen I just went wow. One of the most cinematic screens I've seen posted on this site. Very movie-like vibes! I also like the dyes giving him a very rustic look. The only minor flaw would be the chest armor and leg piece coming from the same set making him lose out slightly on the originality department. Still a solid gold! |

 Hylek Fashionista | The rugged and dark appearence of your character is quite cool! Its nice to see your colours being quite dark without erasing too many details of the armor! Also the unique appearence of your character himself (face/hair) is quite refreshing :) Your screens are actually great, the only thing that bugs me is that all of them are very dark. Still overall Gold from me! |

 Chiorydax Fashion Guru | Thanks! I'm glad you appreciate it. In regards to the armor mix, I definitely have a soft spot for the carapace sets. It's good to know that didn't detract from the overall effect, though. Also, I did add some screenshots from a brighter area, in case you were interested. |

Chiorydax Fashion Guru | That's good to hear! Majoring in film might have something to do with it. :P Yeah, I seem to have a soft spot for the carapace sets. But those two pieces were pretty irreplaceable in this particular outfit. Thanks for the input! |

Chiorydax Fashion Guru | I just added some brighter screenshots, in case you wanted to see more. Well, they're in a brighter area, but I don't know if it changed the armor tones much. I'm glad you liked it. I actually had to go through many different dye schemes to arrive at this one (I tried making him much more colorful for a while, but that didn't work at all). The facial features were actually something I really wanted to use ever since that hairstyle came out-- it took me a while, but I finally made a character to use it. Thanks for the input! |
