Salem's full-body reference is now fully colored and ready to go! I actually had a lot of fun coloring him in. I also did a few things a little differently but I think they helped lend to the rest of it. The fiery wisp he's got in his hand is kind of like a spell/mana wisp. It's just a show of magical energy since I wanted him to not be standing kind of plainly on his app.

Now for some more details on Salem! (Which I've been really hyped to do.)

Magic wise, he's got a fair amount of proficiency in the basic forms along with a much stronger clairvoyant ability. The clairvoyant ability of his has been around since he's a child but it's mostly passive and uncontrolled for the most part. Salem can trigger the ability if provoked, however he takes a far harsher penalty than if he doesn't. Depending on what he's getting from the ability, he may freeze up for a few seconds or end up fainting (if it's a longer more detailed thing). His eyes however glow much brighter when he is in a clairvoyant trance. 

Outfit wise, there's a lot of minute details in his outfit, which i'll explain below.
Outer Jacket: This is worn almost 24/7 by Salem and is suited well for most types of weather and basic combat. It's made of a sturdy, durable material that functions like a light armor. Although it doesn't offer full protection, it does offer light protection if a spell or light melee attack were to hit Salem.

Shirt: Salem has several shirts like this, all of them being sleevless and made of a lighter, airy material. They don't really have any other purpose other than to be a shirt.

Hair Clips, Rings and Bracelets: Salem wears a whole lot of jewlery, some of it being decorative and some of it functioning as a tiny conduit. The beads on his bracelets and necklace are made of quartz crystal, which is a known conduit for the arcane. The hair clips and other bracelets are simply for decoration.

Salem's Necklace: This necklace was a gift from his mother when he was much, much younger. The chord and beads were added later, replacing the original one he outgrew. The symbol itself is a Celtic Triskelion, or a Triple Spiral. It's meaning varies however Salem wears it and chooses that it means "The Mortal World, The Immortal World, The Celestial World." 

Boots: His boots are traditional riding boots, made of sturdy leather with strong soles. They are useful for long periods of walking and climbing as well as keeping Salem's feet from getting too sore.

So there you have it. Since his legs are very long here and it's much more comical that he's tall af, he's going to be on the taller, leaner side. I also think his last name will start with V but I haven't settled on one yet.

At the moment, I don't have an exact height for him yet. I'm probably going to go around six foot six to six foot nine since during an RP with a few others who are joining the group there was mentions of Salem being kind of a giant.
