Arash has the striking stillness of someone whose body seems written over in light: dark blue skin and runes that glow faintly against it. Practical and self-assured, he carries his beliefs with the same matter-of-fact certainty as his everyday work.

Arash first explains the Temple of Dominion to Jason and urges him to kneel before the god Hero, revealing how seriously he takes his faith. Later, he appears in a more everyday role as a Runic running a juice stall on campus, deftly using crystal rods to handle fruit. Across these encounters, he remains a grounded, distinctive presence whose religious conviction sits alongside ordinary practical skill.
Description
Arash is short and stocky, with deep blue skin so dark it approaches black and no hair on his head. Faintly glowing natural runes mark his skin, lending his appearance an intricate, quietly luminous quality. He wears practical local clothing, and when working at his campus juice stall he has goggles and handles fruit with crystal rods. His compact frame and calm, capable manner make him feel both approachable and unmistakably unusual.
