Permissions/stats 8)
Age: adolescent
Height: one source says six feet at the shoulder, the other ten! This could be because of the angle of his body, or because he changes form between Old Downside and the normal world--or it could be because Diane Duane is having consistency issues again. I am going with about 8ft/2.5m at the shoulder, and 24ft/7.5m long from nose to tip of tail.*
Weight: a ton and a half.
Eyes: golden
Hair Hide: red and orange, with markings described to be similar to those of a calico cat. Not a patchy calico, but more of a brindledy one.
*I'm thinking his stats are probably something slightly bigger than those of Jane, a juvenile T. Rex discovered in... 2001? Which is after the publication date of TBONWM, but eh. Jane is estimated to weigh only about half of what Ith does, but that could probably be explained away by the fact that Jane is a lot younger than Ith would be; Ith's species' full size is a lot smaller than that of an actual T. Rex, so I'm thinking they'd reach true adult proportions a lot faster. I'm overthinking this, aren't I?
Physical traits: looks like a small tyrannosaur! Also--this isn't in his icons--has six claws on each. Hand? Paw-thing? Yeah, that.
Medical Info: ...is a dinosaur?
What's Okay To Mention Around Him/Her: ANYTHING AT ALL \o/
Notes for the Psychics: Wizard, and a Senior besides, so he'll likely notice you doing that. May or may not be amused, depending on how benign/responsible for yourself you seem. Has a decidedly reptilian psychology, but with a game sense of humor. Is quite zen. Also, [spoilers: he's the sometime avatar of a Power (that's kind of like a god, for the non-yw savvy) known to cats and saurians as the Bright Serpent. We think this one might actually be Jesus].
Abilities: C/P'd from Dairine's! Ith is a wizard, which in this case means he uses the Speech (a magical language, which, theoretically, all things both living and nonliving understand on some basic, inherent level) to cast spells to save the universe from the heat-death caused by the Lone Power, the source of all death and evil. Yeah. As a side effect, he can understand all languages and make himself understood to all things. It also means that he cannot: lie, cuss, make careless remarks (because, due to the nature of the Speech and of wizardry, they may come true if she does), etc.
Ith also happens to be a Senior wizard, which means he has more clout, authority-wise, than the other wizards in camp, but I don't want to abuse this. Canonmates, we should talk about this sometime, yes?. He is also the first wizard of his species, which gives him some additional properties, but that's kind of complicated and. I'll explain it in more detail later ahaha.
Shapeshift/bodyswap/grievous injury/death etc.: FEEL FREE TO ATTACK HIM IF YOU WANT seriously if it adds to lulz then I actively encourage you to do it. Ith is extra godmode among a canon already full of crazy godmodes, so chances are he can handle most anything that's thrown at him. For the other stuff, and if you actually want to seriously hurt him--ask first, I am sure we can work something out ♥
Cooking: ...I am sure he is quite game for a try, though his species doesn't eat cooked food, generally. Except pastrami. Ith loev pastrami.
