Palamedes

Palamedes was a flamesilk SilkWing and a supporting character in Under False Pretenses. His page features major spoilers for the fanfiction. Proceed with care.
Belongs to Revek.
==Appearance==
Palamedes had blue scales, a gentle hue just a shade softer than the sky on a cloudless day, spotted with a row of phthalo blue blue speckles. His underbelly was painted with a lighter blue that leaned almost gray, pale enough that it was hard to tell. His wings were stunning, deep blue scales patterned with white. The color was dark, looking almost black even when sunlight highlighted its iridescence.
He was a shade below average height, a large wingspan and long tail more than compensating for his short stature. He looked a little thinner than he should, silk production taking a toll on his body. It manifested in his face as well— tired reddish-pink eyes always half closed. His wings and tail dragged against the ground, too heavy for him to lift even when he raised his wrists with a heavy sigh.
Threads of orange and gold pulsed under blackend scales, thinned with time but always, always present. The suncursed gift his metamorphosis left him with had long left its mark.
