Physical Description

Tall with lean, but defined, muscles, Aniij is an extremely attractive man. His skin is smooth and flawless, the color of mocha. Accenting the light brown tone of his skin is his eyes, a warm orangey-brown. Dark, almost black, hair is trimmed perfectly into a goatee that blends into his dark sideburns and a decent mustache and thick eyebrows. While his hair is dark and kept short, it is often hidden beneath his turban. Despite his flawless skin, Aniij's hands are rough. His fingertips are calloused, and yet, the roughness of his hands only seems to make him all the more attractive.

Clothing & Adornments

One of the most noticeable articles of clothing that Aniij wears is a keffiyeh made of soft, white cotton. Aside from the traditional headpiece, he tends to wear clothing that appears to be made of luxury materials, such as silk and velvet. His shirt is often left unbuttoned at the top, showing his chest beneath the soft fabric. He dresses as best he can, always looking suave and sharp.

Physicalities

Aniij very often has a charming smirk on his face. He holds himself with a certain kind of pride, knowing that he is someone people dote on and fawn over. When he walks, he tends to saunter as he thinks so highly of himself, often with his hands in his pockets in a nonchalant way.

Backstory

Born to a poor mother and without a father, Aniij had a rough childhood. That is, until he realized that people found his face to be exceptionally appealing. Even as a child, he began to use that to his advantage by getting people to do things and get things for him. This became his way of life-- it was how he lived, how he survived. When he got into his teenage years, he started taking more advantage of the women (and men) who fell for him, stealing their hearts and their minds, deceiving them and tricking them. He became a serial heart-breaker, taking women (and the occasional man) and then leaving them high and dry once he was done with them.

Emotional Arc

At the start of the game, when the player first meets Aniij, he is fake and distant, in a way. He never seems to show his true emotions, and it is uncertain as to whether or not he actually feels anything. As time goes on and the player character grows to be more familiar with Aniij, he opens up more, letting some of his personal story slip out. Later, he expresses to the player character that she is the first person in a long, long time to make him feel like a real person again.

Gameplay Element

The player character runs into this character several times throughout the game and is required to work with him at a couple points. 

Environment

Aniij lives in a world that is a sort of modern medieval/fantasy setting. The world is similar to the one we currently live in, but has certain medieval aspects, such as: castles, villages and farms, jousting, etc. Something like A Knight's Tale with more technologies.

Job/Work

con-man/thief - Aniij is the kind of man who is attractive and knows it. He uses it to his advantage at every opportunity. He moves from town to town, stealing the hearts of every woman he encounters, as well as some men. He uses them to get what he wants, conning them and tricking them into thinking he's actually fallen for them.

Speech Patterns/Dialect/Accent

Aniij speaks with a definite Arabic accent. His voice is deep and sultry, giving an almost mysterious vibe to his words. One of the most noticeable differences about his speech is his use of the word "Yanni" rather than the word "um."  He tends to speak in a condescending way towards most people as he does not believe they deserve his respect and that he is better than them.
