<p>A giant Keleshite stirs from the shade under a tree. Slowly, he uncoils his powerful and gracious limbs, rising to his feet, slowly, like a cobra finding a prey. The desert has taken a toll on his Keleshite features. His skin is darker and his emerald eyes are like slits. He rarely shaves, nor cares much for his black hair and carries with him the smells of travel. He wears loose fitting garments that are the color of the plains and the sands, often hiding his face behind a scarf of cerulean and sand.</p>
<p>He shrugs and nods, bending his head in servitude, taking his place in the caravan.</p>[dice=Perception]1d20+7[/dice]

<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>This was a hard decision but was solely based the roleplay that I saw in the recruitment thread. I thank you all that applied, this was an enjoyable recruitment.

I look forward to this.</span></p>
