Dark's basic properties: black hair, "red" eyes (formerly blue, before demonic possession), pale skin. 6'3", lanky build but fairly toned; he's stronger than his appearance would imply.
scar on his left cheek down to his jawline; looks badass, is actually from when he was 7 years old playing swordfight with his brother and learned that the stick his brother was using was, in fact, very sharp
much of his back is marked by what seems to be a tattoo of a large quill with a single red drop at the tip; this is the brand of the demon lord who knows resides within him. anyone who makes a deal with him is marked (with the size varying depending on the magnitude of the deal), and dark is no exception
when he's on the job/adventuring he typically wears chainmail under light leather armor, relying more on mobility and stealth than a strong defense (plus, you know what they say about a good offense)
his favored cloak is enchanted to make him unnoticeable (though people who are either magically resistant or supernaturally inclined to detect presences may notice him anyway); he can often walk into striking distance of his marks without their attention turning to him (the enchantment ceases to work the moment he attacks)
this song is definitely upbeat for representing his moody ass but that's because it represents his feelings towards layla, who was bright and spirited and brought those feelings out in him, once upon a time
the root of all of Dark's unhappiness is his inability to simultaneously accept that his choice to sacrifice layla was necessary to save the world, while also accepting the consequences of losing her forever
" 'Cause I've made mistakes That have hurt the ones that I have loved And I've thrown them under the bus One too many times There can be no redemption for a sinner such as I"
"And I don't know how to be heartbroken All my words will not be spoken I didn't see through your disguise And now I realize
You're just a liar who survived the fire You fanned the flames of my rage You cut too deep Let me here to bleed and Now I have to pick up the pieces of my shattered heart"
"I swear I'm going to bite you hard and taste your tinny blood If you don't stop the self-defeating lies you've been repeating Since the day you brought me home. I know you're strong."
"And I'm leaning on this broken fence Between past and present tense And I'm losing all those stupid games That I swore I'd never play But it almost feels okay"
Never end up being what we chose?
Now that I find no way so bad
I don't think I knew what I had"
That have hurt the ones that I have loved
And I've thrown them under the bus
One too many times
There can be no redemption for a sinner such as I"
All my words will not be spoken
I didn't see through your disguise
And now I realize
You're just a liar who survived the fire
You fanned the flames of my rage
You cut too deep
Let me here to bleed and
Now I have to pick up the pieces of my shattered heart"
Of absolutely no regrets,
And later maybe you could try
To let your losses dangle off
The sharp edge of a century"
If you don't stop the self-defeating lies you've been repeating
Since the day you brought me home.
I know you're strong."
Between past and present tense
And I'm losing all those stupid games
That I swore I'd never play
But it almost feels okay"
