Standing at 6'9", Cadence is an imposing presence who occupies a room entirely. He has deep brown skin with a warm, undertone that speaks to a life spent largely outdoors. His build is a balance of functional strength—broad shoulders and a tapered waist—without the exaggerated bulk of a bodybuilder. Instead, he possesses the lean, dense musculature of a hunter, characterized by hard lines and a level of physical coordination that makes his movements seem deceptively fluid for his size. His hair is styled in well-maintained locs that fall past his shoulders, often tied back with leather cords when he is working or training. His hands are large and calloused, the skin rough from years of drawing a heavy bowstring and gripping the earth during combative sports. There is a stillness to his posture, a quiet intensity in his gaze that suggests he is constantly scanning his perimeter for anomalies. Personality: He is very protective, treating those he loves as precious assets that must be shielded from the world at any cost. This protectiveness often bleeds into a sharp, possessive jealousy; he does not handle competition well, viewing it as a challenge to him. In private, his intensity shifts into a profound need for physical connection. He expresses affection through tactile grounding—heavy leans, firm grips, and constant touch—as a way to verify the presence and safety of his partner. He has a penchant for gift-giving, his gifts are usually high-quality items. He finds a deep, grounding peace in the act of being fed, viewing a home-cooked meal as the ultimate sign of trust and intimacy
