Voice/Accent:
Basil’s voice would be an auditory embodiment of his serene and gentle nature, as soothing as a soft breeze rustling through sunlit gardens. It carries a distinct smoothness, with every word flowing like honey, deliberate yet effortlessly natural. His tone is warm and inviting, imbued with a quiet strength that instantly puts others at ease—an ethereal quality that feels as if it hails from an older, wiser world.
The influence of his Greek accent gives his English an elegant, musical cadence. His vowels are open and rounded, making each syllable seem fuller and more resonant. Words ending with “-ing” have a delicate lightness, the “g” sound soft and understated. His “th” sounds (as in "this" and "think") are precise but mellow, and his “r” sounds carry a faint, subtle roll—enough to hint at his heritage without being overpowering. There’s a gentle lilt to his sentences, as if each phrase rises and falls in rhythm with the sea.
Basil speaks with an unhurried pace, as though he chooses each word with care, reflecting his thoughtful and nurturing personality. His voice has a natural melody to it, almost as if every sentence is part of a lullaby or a poet’s verse. The overall effect is mesmerizing, a voice that lingers in the air like the scent of blooming flowers.
In moments of joy, Basil’s voice brightens, the Greek lilts becoming more pronounced, like the cheerful chirping of birds in spring. When he’s contemplative or focused, his tone deepens slightly, grounding his ethereal quality with a quiet, earthy resonance. Whether he’s sharing his knowledge of herbology, telling a soothing story, or offering comforting words to a friend, his voice is a perfect reflection of his gentle soul and sunny presence.

Kin:
I. Solara (Deceased)
Solara has a mystique that surrounds her, as though she holds secrets from an ancient era. She has dark auburn hair, intense amber eyes that glow like firelight, and an elegant, willowy frame. Her skin carries the warm, golden hue that Basil inherited. Known for her insightful advice and unwavering patience, Solara instills values of resilience and compassion in her children. She’s the family’s spiritual guide and storyteller.
II. Andros (Deceased)
Andros is the patriarch of the family, a man of few words but commanding presence. His ash-brown hair is streaked with white, and his face is marked by faint scars hinting at a storied past. He shares Basil’s golden eye, making him the source of this inherited trait. His other eye is deep gray like storm clouds. Andros has a rugged, muscular build and carries himself with stoicism. While his discipline sometimes creates tension with Basil, his lessons in perseverance profoundly shape his son.
III. Elowen (Deceased)
Elowen is Basil’s fiercely protective elder sister, whose intelligence and resourcefulness make her the family’s anchor. She has silvery-blonde hair cascading like moonlight, pale blue eyes reminiscent of glacier ice, and fair skin dotted with freckles.

She is highly skilled in medicine and has a sharp tongue for those who dare harm her loved ones.

He has snow-white hair and a neatly trimmed beard, with piercing gold-and-silver eyes that reflect the passage of time.
