Diomedes au Raa
SupportingA mid-twenties Gold Peerless Scarred stands with the tall athletic frame of an elite fighter pilot and Olympic Knight, his shoulder-length white-gold hair streaked black falling loosely around the shoulders of a tight gray scorosuit. Narrow dark eyes brood from a pale beardless face that mixes vestiges of beauty with large lips, long eyelashes, a depository of scars, scowls, and crooked cartilage, only his right ear remaining. A storm cloak flows behind him alive with shifting colors of cloud and lightning while his helmet bears a painted dragon cloaked in storm, the entire presence grave, commanding, and brooding with the brutal grace of a warrior from Io.
Diomedes au Raa first emerges in Iron Gold as a brooding, commanding Peerless Scarred from Io, his tall athletic frame and storm-cloaked presence marking him as an elite warrior whose scars and grave demeanor reflect a life steeped in duty and conflict. By Dark Age, the once-isolated figure has evolved into a lean, dour fighter whose quiet resolve and unbreaking loyalty propel him through the Rim's brutal politics, wielding kitari and hasta with brutish efficiency while donning an iron gauntlet amid the fray. Across the books, his arc shifts from a visually striking but internally conflicted son to a steadfast warrior whose honor-bound nature anchors him amid shifting alliances and violence.
Physical Description

Narrow dark eyes brood from a pale beardless face that mixes vestiges of beauty with large lips, long eyelashes, a depository of scars, scowls, and crooked cartilage, only his right ear remaining. A storm cloak flows behind him alive with shifting colors of cloud and lightning while his helmet bears a painted dragon cloaked in storm, the entire presence grave, commanding, and brooding with the brutal grace of a warrior from Io. Dark gold hair streaked with black tamed by a knot, scarred blunt face, slumped shoulders, and brutish hands define his lean, shabby build. Long hair falls over simple leather boots and drab robes sewn himself, armed with kitari short sword and long razor called hasta. Pale as a corpse, dour as a cloud, he wears a huge iron gauntlet implanted with rotating stones.
