The Diamond Key Description


Name: Ilexan

Experience: Much. His training was thorough, and as a result, he is a master of the erotic arts. He can be either dominant or submissive, although at first glance he appears very 'soft.' He has few ethics where sex is concerned, and will willingly try pretty much anything. He has experience with sexual 'accessories,' but prefers to work without them. He enjoys cuddling, although he'd never admit it, and likes to curl up to a warm body once he's been sexually satisfied -- and to be completely honest, he prefers the warmth and comfort of snuggling with a lover to the actual sex itself, although he's a most willing player in the sexual arena.

Personality: Stoic. He has a calm personality that allows him to take most things in stride. He will dedicate himself to his Master -- he is unfailingly obedient. However, he has a hidden streak of mischief that in rare instances of good humor will express itself in the form of playful teasing. He's very quiet and mild-tempered most of the time, but can be rather destructive when he's provoked into extreme anger. He has a sharp, acid wit, and a tendency towards icy sarcasm.

His greatest flaw is the difficulty in pinning down his true personality -- his serene demeanor serves as a very efficient mask, and his versatility and impeccable manners only help the deception. Previous Masters have found themselves quite frustrated with his evasions of anything even remotely personal. His quiet, cool manner and often sardonic comments usually cause him to be avoided by others, and it seems he prefers it that way, as those who actively seek him out are avoided in turn, unless they are his Master, in which case he is unfailingly polite and makes sure his Master knows his whereabouts at all times.

He loves books, and will read anything he can get his hands on. He also loves swimming and sunbathing to equal degrees. He spends part of his free time training with weapons, and is the most proficient with the bow.

Description:
*Hair: In accordance with his Key, his hair, brows, and lashes are a brilliant white; iridescent in certain lights. Cut short in the front (around chin-length), but very long in the back (reaches to around mid-thigh) -- the long part is often tied back in a tail. No bangs.
*Eyes: Bright green.
*Skin: Tanned complexion; golden-brown skin turned dark from lying in the sun.
*Height: 5'7"
*Weight: 140 lbs.
*Physique: Slender; when unclothed, revealed to be somewhat wiry from his love of athletics. A swimmer's build -- muscular, but not overtly so; appears androgynous in clothing.
*Unusual Characteristics: An intricately patterned band tattooed in red and black ink encircles his left wrist. For hidden reasons of his own, he dislikes displaying it to others, and hides it by wearing slender silver bracers on both wrists when in public or when in the company of people in general, be they trainers, other slaves, or Masters. Trainers and Masters have only ever seen it by giving direct orders, and none have ever heard an explanation of its significance to him that wasn't a concocted story.

Preferred Clothing/Look: The aforementioned silver bracers and a single diamond stud in his right ear are his only articles of jewelry. When he is alone, he enjoys being unclothed, either swimming or lying in the open sun for hours on end, reading or just dozing. When in company/public, his chosen garb is a filmy white knee-length tunic belted at the waist with a silver chain, sometimes accompanied by soft, loose white pants. His shoes, on the very rare occasions that he wears them, are soft white boots with laces that twine around his legs to tie off at his knees. Initially with a Master, he will be clothed unless during sex, but once adjusted he will resume his habit of being unclothed; for especially prudish Masters, he compromises and dons a crop top and a loincloth.

History: Ilexan was sold as an infant, and reared by his trainers with the sole intent of creating the perfect slave. Not much is known about his past, but it has been assumed that it contains a fair number of unpleasant events from his reticence concerning it. He has officially been a Key since the age of eleven.

Room: The room is hexagonal, with high, perfectly smooth white walls. The ceiling is a thick glass border on each of the six sides, with an open space in the center to let the sun through. If desired, a switch can be flipped, and a solid ceiling will slide closed. Directly underneath that open space is a wide, circular crystal pedestal about 10 feet in diameter that contains a large bed. Other than that pedestal, the room consists of an open moat of water. Smooth, hexagonal tiles of clear crystal are strategically placed to form a pathway from the door to the bed, and also from the bed to four far corners of the room.

Trees and plants line the walls of the room, and in the four far corners in shadowed alcoves are respectively the wardrobe, a bookcase, a cabinet of sexual toys, and a rack of S&M equipment. Of the four separate pools of water created by the crystal pathways, three small and one large, the farthest small one directly opposite the door is shallow and heated, and used for bathing. The two directly adjacent small pools are cooler, and only slightly deeper. The larger pool in front of the door is deep (around 7 feet), and for swimming. All are more than large enough to fit 2 people, and could in fact fit up to 6 with ease, with the larger accomodating up to thrice that number.
