Name: Lio
Age: 17

Appearance: Lio is approximately 5' 10" tall. He's slender, but well muscled. His lean, corded strength is apparent in every movement of his lithe frame. He has shining blue-black hair that falls fine and straight to just below his shoulder blades. He wears two small braids over his left ear, leaving the rest to fall loose down his back. Strung at the end of each braid are two turquoise beads and a large golden feather with black banding and a black tip. Lio has widely spaced eyes that are angled and slitted like a cat's, and coloured a bright blue with darker indigo striations, almost an exact match to the turquoise beads. He has a naturally dusky skin tone, which turns into an even richer golden bronze when he spends any time in the sunlight.

Distinguishing Features/Markings: Lio has large hands with long strong fingers, calloused from years of hard work before his more pampered life as a Key. He has a weaving, thorny vine tattooed in black around his wrists and ankles.

Clothes: Lio is something of a sensualist and as such prefers the freedom and feel of nudity whenever possible. He does, however, have a number of silk robes, both with and without matching trousers. Among these, his favourite is a purple silk robe that falls to mid-thigh, with a wide silver collar and cuffs, and a large gryphon in full flight embroidered on the back in matching silver thread. Lio has a single piercing in his left ear in which he wears a dangling, silver gryphon earring.

Personality: Lio is well aware of his exotic, handsome looks and takes pride in his appearance. And although he is occasionally boastful about his appearance and abilities, he does it in such a friendly and matter-of-fact way that most people cannot help but laugh and like him all the more for it. He has a generally friendly, outgoing and gregarious personality, and so he occasionally gets lonely, when he is forced by circumstance to spend long periods between Masters. Lio will often put forth an even greater effort to serve his Master perfectly, to anticipate his Master's every need, even before it is voiced, just so that he will not be left alone again. While he outwardly claims to enjoy the great variety in having had many different masters, deep inside, perhaps not even consciously admitted to himself, he longs for a permanent Master; someone who wants only him and will never leave him, but keep Lio all to himself.

Hobbies/Interests: Although he does know how to read and write, Lio does not take any great pleasure in either of these pursuits. He will read if he is particularly bored, but he prefers some kind of physical activity, to occupy his mind. Being a Key and confined to his rooms, rather limits his choices in this regard. He practices Tai Chi daily, for the benefit of mind and body both, and he spends many hours practicing his dancing. He is very skilled in this area. Lio loves to dance for a Master, enticing and teasing until he pushes the Master beyond the limits of his control, so that he may revel in the Master's strength, as he is taken, hard and wild. Sex is by far Lio's favourite physical activity.

Experience/Specialties: Lio has had many Masters that used him for short periods of time, but none that wanted him permanently. His specialty, if it may be called that, is his flexibility. Because of his daily dancing practice, Lio has remained very flexible and can assume many exotic positions with Masters who have the urge to try something unusual.

Environment: Lio has a suite of two large rooms. The main room is the largest and has two primary focal points. The large stone fireplace, and the bed. The fireplace, made almost entirely from weathered river rocks, polished over the centuries to a fine sheen, takes up most of the west wall. There is a large mantel running its length at about shoulder height, and a luxuriously thick, white fur covering the floor in front of it. The north wall has two large bookcases on either side of a wide window seat, though very few actual books decorate the shelves. Several soft pillows decorate the seat and the floor in front of it.

Across the room against the south wall there's a small seating area, with a round table and two comfortable chairs, leaving a large open area in the centre of the room. The room has a very high, vaulted ceiling, with a large sunroof that floods the room with bright light during the day, and provides a beautiful view of the moon and stars on clear nights. The canopied four-poster bed takes up most of the final wall, with a rich green crushed velvet cover and matching canopy, tied back to the posters with heavy golden cords. In the corner is a door, leading to the second room, a lavishly appointed bathing room. Here there are all the essentials, including tile floor, a large sunken tub, a padded table perfect for massage, and a large cupboard filled with soft towels, and several fragrant oils.
