Here is a reference sheet of my oldest character, Tio Crowell... A feline who isn't as normal as he would like. Yet his heart is still warm towards those around him.
Appearance:
Height: 5.57 feet (170 cm)
Build: Normal posture, slightly toned
Eye Color: Blue-greyish (using contact lenses, natural they are dark black)
Fur Color: Dark-brown with lighter furr around the muzzle and chest.
Hair Color: Lighter Brown, put up with gel in small spikes to the front but still wavy.
Distinguishing Marks: A large scar on his left cheek (hair is covering this up within this ref) caused by a holy object, two scars on his back where dark wings sprout. And a black mark of the sin of Lust on his right shoulder. Has a very long tail with a darker patch of fur running from the tip towards his neck.
Clothing:
- Casual clothing: A dark blue jeans, wide on the bottom with a hole at the right knee and a white tank top. On top of that a black vest with on the back a white cross split in two. Stylish black shoes with white low socks. Wears boxer briefs.
- Purifier: For his ‘career’ Tio wears a black leather outfit, with gold coloured rims around the edges of the vest. A white tank top underneath tugged into the pants. The vest is closed with only a portion of the white top showing.
He also has black gloves with iron plates on the knuckles that have been blessed.
The vest has a hood allowing for Tio’s face to be left dark, with his eyes being the only thing glowing when looking straight at him. He uses a black fold to cover his face from being spotted.
He sports a belt around his waist holding two daggers on each side of his hips. Along with several chokers holding holy and unholy weaponry ranging in size and ability.
On his back he wears a sharpened sword which he calls the ‘cleanser’ inscribed with a sealing text.
Powers/special abilities:
As a Nephilim, Tio has above average strength and speed. Able to lift objects with ease that are twice his weight. And because of his heritage from his father’s side; he is able to fly with his wings, heal wounds with ease and see into people their ‘souls’.
As a mortal still, Tio had learned at a young age Jiu Jitsu, allowing him to use various melee weapons like swords, daggers and other close range weapons.
Quick on his feet and a good use of his head have proven to be his greatest weapon. He mastered both English and German.
Flaws/weaknesses:
Tio’s strength is also his greatest weakness and curse. Trying to fly, or even summon his wings brings forth great pain and stress for them to sprout from his back.
He has created a hatred for everything supernatural due to his heritage and history. He also dares not seek sexual company from neither male nor female. Even though he has shown feelings even love to others.
Whilst good with melee weaponry, Tio is not the best marksman and cannot hold a fight for long at long distance. Rather closing the gap to fight hand to hand.
Able to heal at increased rate compared to normal mortals, Tio can still succumb to natural illness, wounds, harsh climates. This is only increased when coming in contact directly with holy or blessed artefacts.
He uses himself holy artefacts with the risk and pain of damaging himself as a result.
Personality:
Tio can be described as calm and soft, but coolheaded and confident to his friends. Caring and compassionate he will protect his friends till his last breath.
Putting up a smile for others even when feeling down, Tio finds joy in the happiness of others.
He self-loathes himself for his birth and the mark given to him by his father. He is also coolheaded in a fight and will not be scared to take risks when he needs to beat his opponent.
At times the most of simple things can calm him down and bring his mind to rest. He has shown to at times to overdo himself when he has a task planned leading at times to humours events.

This piece really stood out for me. Personally, I like how she drew Tio's wings. I'm not sure why I like them so much here. I guess you could say it's just how I'd prefer to see wings on an anthropomorphic animal. I guess you could say that they're sufficiently angular. But what really drew me in were those facial expressions at the bottom. If anything, Tio's very adorable even when he's none too happy. I just love how she drew his face! The one on the right is especially endearing. Anyway, I'll have to look into her work because she's really impressed me with this commission. :)
She did a great job! I may even want to commission her in the near future if a slot opens up for me. I think she made me like Tio even more. I will say that I haven't gotten around to know everything about him, but art like this helps to pique my interest to know even more about him. What you've said here is definitely a good first step for me to understand a little about his personality and motivation. ^_^
