$CHARACTER ART BRIEF – DAGGERHEART TTRPG Character Name Hyōrimir Frostscale Title: The White Storm ⸻ CORE CONCEPT A dragon-blooded sorcerer whose power manifests as ice, frost, and living storms. He is not loud or flamboyant — his presence is cold, restrained, and dangerous, like the calm at the center of a blizzard. Think: “A living winter storm held barely in check.” ⸻ SPECIES / ANCESTRY Draconic-Blooded Humanoid (Dragonborn-adjacent, not fully draconic) • Humanoid proportions • Subtle draconic features rather than a full dragon head • Skin partially overlaid with frost-like scales ⸻ PHYSICAL APPEARANCE Build • Tall, lean, and powerful • Athletic but not bulky • Posture is controlled and deliberate Skin & Scales • Pale, cold-toned skin (icy gray or blue-white) • Translucent, ice-like scales along: • shoulders • collarbone • forearms • cheekbones or temples • Scales resemble cracked ice or frost crystals, not reptilian armor Face • Sharp, angular features • Calm, distant expression • Emotion is restrained — intensity comes from the eyes Eyes • Pale icy blue or silver • Slight inner glow, like light refracting through ice • When magic is active, frost radiates subtly from the eyes ⸻ HORNS & DRACONIC FEATURES • Two swept-back horns, smooth and slightly ridged • Color: frosted bone, pale gray, or ice-blue • Horns resemble frozen wind-sculpted shapes rather than spikes • Optional: faint frost collecting along the horn edges ⸻ HAIR (optional, artist’s choice) • White, silver, or very pale blue • Medium length, windswept or loosely tied • Hair may appear lightly dusted with frost (If bald, ensure the horns and facial structure carry the silhouette.) ⸻ CLOTHING & GEAR Style • Practical fantasy attire with a mage/sorcerer silhouette • No heavy armor • Layers suitable for cold environments Clothing Details • Long coat, cloak, or mantle with torn or frost-bitten edges • Fabric colors: • white • slate gray • pale blue • muted silver • Subtle arcane patterns, etched like frost veins Accessories • No staff required (magic is innate) • Optional: • arcane focus crystal encased in ice • frost-marked gloves • belt charms shaped like shards or scales ⸻ MAGIC VISUAL EFFECTS Magic should feel natural and elemental, not spell-circle based. • Cold mist around hands and breath • Snowflakes drifting upward instead of falling • Ice forming mid-air in sharp, fractured patterns • Wind bending fabric and hair subtly Magic should look quiet but overwhelming, like pressure building. ⸻ COLOR PALETTE • Whites and off-whites • Ice blue • Silver • Cold gray • Very restrained use of darker tones for contrast Avoid warm colors entirely. ⸻ POSE & MOOD Preferred Pose • One hand partially raised, fingers relaxed but dangerous • The other hand lowered, frost spreading from it • Body angled slightly, not square to the viewer • Calm, controlled stance — not aggressive Mood • Silent menace • Emotional restraint • A sense that losing control would be catastrophic ⸻ THEMATIC NOTES (IMPORTANT) This character is: • Not flashy • Not heroic in a traditional way • Not cruel He is a person constantly choosing restraint over devastation. ⸻ ONE-SENTENCE SUMMARY FOR THE ARTIST A dragon-blooded sorcerer whose body and soul manifest winter itself — calm, restrained, and terrifyingly powerful, like the still center of a blizzard.$
