~
Appearance:
Sylvester stands at a looming 6'7 with a well toned-muscular built body, with the muscles along his upper arms and torso being well defined. They're easy to see through many of his outfits, giving him a well formed, powerful and rather intimidating appearance. Many would describe his body as that of Adonis himself, with his chiselled abs and muscle definition, all the way to the sharp V line at his hips. His skin is a pale ivory with some areas appearing a bit more on the white scale of colours all thanks to his countless hours and time spent indoors to shelter away from the harsh cold of his home.
~
His face is slightly rounded, with a sharp jawline and well defined cheekbones. The hair on his eyebrows is a dark gray, close to black making them stand out compared to the lightness of his hair. He often trims and waxes them to retain the smooth and elegant shape they have taken on, leaving his resting face as a serious-energy radiating look.
~
His hair is a silvery white, platinum blonde, which is parted off towards the left side of his head. The locks are semi long in some places such as the back towards his neck, and take on a wavey, slightly curly form. The iris's of his eyes are a blue-ish silver, appearing mostly silver in normal to dim lighting. In direct sunlight or heavy light however, his eyes will give off a pale blue sheen similar to that of frost or ice. He has long luscious black eyelashes which curve ever so slightly. They're thick and often draw a lot of attention to his eyes with the stark contrast between the darkness of his lashness and the brightness of his eyes.
~
The skin on his lips is a pale beige colour with a hint of pinkness through them, giving them a warm and inviting look, the ridge of his top lip has a fairly noticeable shape similar to a bow, adding more angles and curves to the shit eating grin he so often wears. He has a few minor scars along his body, such as his shoulders, left waist and the largest being one that adorns his right shoulder blade, coming to a stop at about halfway down his spine.
~
His hands are rough, terribly calloused from the hours he spends training with his blade, as well as the hard work and labour he does to help out where he can without getting into trouble.
Sylvester's outfit can be described as heavy yet also very warm looking. He wears a thick black tunic, and almost always wears the cloak that was gifted to him by his father. It is made of a heavy black fabric to match many of the other shirts he chooses to wear, with a hefty amount of white rabbit fur which lines the tops of the cloak and it's hood. He very rarely wears the hood up, so the fur adds an extra few inches to the bulkiness of his shoulders where it lays draped over.
~
He wears heavy boots that have been designed more for traversing snowy terrain, which are black in colour with matching white fur trims. He often has equipped his holster for his blade on the belt he wears, usually concealing the weapon partially beneath his heavy cloak.
~
Around his head, he wears dragon horns which rest just above his ears and wrap towards the front of his head in an almost crown like manner. It's believed his father gifted them to him, although how he got them is still unclear as they're rather small for a fully grown dragon. Perhaps they were shed from a growing hatchling dragon?

Personality:
Sylvester can often come across as being incredibly blunt and rude, never really thinking twice about what he has to say before saying it. His arrogance and pride are a sight to behold, as he never steps down from a challenge no matter how idiotic or childish it may seem. He has a bit of a temper at times, but it's often shrouded beneath his cocky and sarcastic attitude, deflecting many topics with his mockery towards others.
~
Despite how he can come across, there's no denying Sylvester is a hard worker. Spending many hours training by himself with his blade and also helping the people of his castle. He often does so in ways that will not get him in trouble, as he does not openly want to be seen as gentle or kind hearted. But he is and he does. There is no denying the affection Sylvester holds for some of those who stand around him, yet his ways of displaying such affections are rather... Questionable.
~
He's hopeless when it comes to complimenting others or even saying a single positive thing about them and even more hopeless when showing his worry or concern.
He often falls to anger, lashing out at people and pointing out their mistakes in rather harsh and aggressive manners, but deep down is a side he chooses to keep hidden. A side where he wishes he could congratulate those around him. A side that wishes to bring people closer to him, to enjoy friendly banter and comforting gestures. A side he denies himself, out of belief he must stay a strong leader. Someone who rarely shows such sappy emotions and gestures. Someone who isn't soft.
~
Sylvester isn't the most trusting when it comes to newcomers. He despises having to "play nice" and act civil with many. He tends to ignore those he finds beneath him or unworthy of his time, giving them the cold shoulder and the sharpest of glares whenever one should persist in trying to talk to him. Most choose to steer clear of this ill tempered bastard, preferring to find company elsewhere. He's often found with a resting grump face, brooding wherever he goes like there's some dark cloud always looming over him.
~
For others, it's not worth trying to start conversation with him, not when the most you will get is either a sharp earful of rather rude comments or a chilling silence. Some even go as far as to say his personality is a direct comparison to the harsh coldness of his homeland. Not very many are aware of his father and his own behaviour towards Sylvester as their interactions are more or less behind closed doors.
~
He hates acting sensitive. Opening up. Being vulnerable. He despises the very idea of it all. If someone is unable to shoulder their own burdens, then they are seen as weak. Sylvester is anything but weak. His temperament and beliefs make him a labyrinth to navigate, to understand even the slightest, with every three steps forwards almost always causing you to take another five back.
~
Strengths:
°~Well trained with a blade.
{Years of practicing solo with the occasional one on one has allowed him to become very talented in wielding a sword. He mainly uses one handed blades, but he can also back a great sword or claymore if needed.}
~
°~Fairly well versed in hunting and tracking techniques.
{Sylvester often traveled out into the snowy terrain of his tundra home to practice his hunting and other skills. He's fairly quick to catch onto tracks, determining direction, approximate weight and time passed since they were made. Though, he isn't always perfect at it.}
~
°~Physically capable of taking care of himself.
{Due to his size and build, Sylvester is a tank of a man. He is incredibly fit and makes many physical activities look easy. His strength allows him to hold himself in battles, both dealing well in offense and defense. He's capable of pulling himself up steep surfaces, as well as wall jumping to get to certain areas. This is usually how he gets away from people he does not wish to be around.}
~
°~Hard Headed and confident in his choices.
{Sylvester can be very hard headed and set in his ways. But his confidence can sometimes act as a beacon in dire situations. He can keep his cool (most of the time) and directly order those around him to carry tasks out.}
~
Weaknesses:
°~Rather slow on his feet.
{Due to his build, he is at a disadvantage in some fights. While he can take a decent few blows easily, he cannot maneuver around as well as others, leaving him open during combat a handful of times. He is also at a massive speed disadvantage when it comes to running, and his stamina drains fairly quickly. Does not do well in drawn out fights.}
~
°~Does not know much on basic human interactions or manners.
{He has had very minimal amounts of interactions with people that aren't his parents or other superiors. He knows how to show respect to those above him, but to those he sees as below him, he can be very brash and incredibly snarky. He usually avoids talking to those who aren't his "superiors".}
~
°~Terrible in long range weapons.
°~Teamwork / Team efforts.
{He struggles to openly communicate in ways that aren't just him blowing up at others. So when it comes to team efforts or team exercises, he's often the one that asserts himself and expects everyone to listen to him and his orders. Even if his ideas are absolutely atrocious.}
~
°~ M A T H.
{...Speaks for itself.}
~
°~Anger issues
{Sylvester has massive anger issues. If he gets shown up by someone else, he ends up snapping. If he gets ignored by others, he ends up snapping. If he gets pestered by people he finds annoying, he ends up snapping. You get the idea...}
~
°~Terrible cook.
{He tried to cook once. As it's not exactly his department, he has very minimal experience in a kitchen. That being said, even something as simple as pasta ends up being a massive burnt mess. Even he's confused as to how it goes so wrong.}
~
°~Severely emotionally constipated.
~
Likes:
°~Spiced foods.
°~Reading and learning history.
°~Time alone.
°~Training.
°~Hunting trips.
°~Showing off his skills.
°~Being right.
~
Dislikes:
°~Being shown up.
°~Sweet food.
°~Obnoxiously loud people or large groups.
°~Being challenged.
°~Getting called out for his behaviour.
°~Summer. (Hates the heat.)

Kin:
Falthyr Montgomery - Father
A cold, hard man who has ingrained many of his own beliefs and expectations into Sylvester, attempting to mould his son into the perfect man. He too has moments where he lashes out, which is where many speculate Sylvester's own temper stems from.
~
Anika Montgomery - Mother
A sweet, delicate flower, much less the complete opposite of her husband Falthyr. Anika is a warm and gentle soul, offering sweet smiles that act as a soothing balm to those around her. She's often a light for others around her, and acts as a grounding point for Falthyr. In his moments of anger, Anika is always first to clear his head and bring him back to rationality.

Other: You're gonna hate me but I've never watched any of the above. I have read Fourth Wing though and loved it, still have yet to read Iron Flame... ^°^'
