Adeyemi

A lion among ladies is a most dreadful thing. ~ Shakespeare

Eyitayo Adeyemi Homid Recently arrived in California Mr. Adeyemi, until recently of London’s Knightsbridge district though rumour persists that his origins may in fact be traced to Darkest Africa. Being, his somewhat saturnine features and rich, dark bronze hue strongly suggest, a massive specimen of Yoruban warrior nobility with, perhaps, a leavening of Arab or Berber ancestry. At six feet, seven inches tall and powerfully built, particularly thick through the shoulders, chest and thighs, his physical presence contributing significantly to a palpable air of regal, leonine menace. Favours Ede & Ravenscroft of London’s celebrated Savile Row as his tailors, and whatever the occasion is invariably fastidious in every detail of his grooming and attire. Sokto His near–human form is even more impressive, towering more than seven–and–a–half tall and well over three–hundred pounds of coiled muscle, while his features take on a distinctly Leonine cast, though he remains recognizable, if feral, a primitive–seeming manifestation of his primal instincts. Crinos Becomes a nightmarish blending of man and lion, immense and powerfully muscled with cruelly curving claws, savage jaws and a bristling mane. Crouching on two legs he inspired an instinctive dread in those who behold him, invoking the Delerium at -1 difficulty to resist its effects in any brave or foolish enough to try. Chatro Prehistoric savagery given sabre–toothed form, immense and terrifying, bristling dark fur and cascading mane framing fearsome jaws while wickedly hooked claws rend whatever they grasp, Adeyemi's war form inspires overwhelming dread, invoking the full effects of the Delirium. Feline Majestic and powerfully built, he is among the largest of his species, weighing well in excess of five–hundred pounds, nearly as tall at the shoulder as a grown man. His fur, like his eyes, is a rich, lustrous gold with a full, dark mane. Regal and untamed, Adeyemi fully embodies the title of king of beasts. Impressions Wealthy Clearly blessed with a considerable fortune, Adeyemi enjoys the finer things life has to offer, and can occasionally be seen browsing upscale clothiers, jewelers, even furniture stores and art galleries. He also frequents the finer restaurants and bars the city has to offer, the marina, where his unusual yacht Aisiki is moored, even indulging on rare occasions in concerts or other cultural events. Foreign Whether because of his accent, his manners, or even the subtle differences in body language, there is no mistaking Adeyemi for a native Californian. Perhaps something about his appearance, speech, manner or style seems exotic and intriguing enough to prompt an approach? Or are you also an expatriate, eager for the company of others whose horizons extend farther than these shores? Intimidating While certainly a wealthy, even cultured–seeming young man, there is no avoiding that he is also a very large, immensely strong and, it must be said, dark–skinned and foreign creature who exudes a sense of raw, intensely masculine, brooding menace which either coupled with or a product of his Rage evokes powerful, often unconscious reactions in those he encounters. Are you drawn by this undercurrent of danger, or frightened, anxious to avoid his company? Or does he threaten your own dominant nature, demanding a confrontation to establish which of you is the stronger? Territory Residence Perched atop the cliffs overlooking the King's Island Marina, with commanding views of the Pacific Ocean and, to the rear, the city below, Adeyemi has acquired a newly–built two–story house with an open, contemporary design featuring high ceilings, minimalist furnishings of the highest quality, and glass–walled construction which serves to blur the boundaries between indoors and out. With its high ceilings, glass frontage and open plan, constructed of concrete with polished wooden veneer, marble and cherry floors, and furnished with restraint in earth tones of simple, masculine design, Adeyemi has created for himself a comfortable, spacious environment to serve as his retreat from the noise and crowds of the city. His personal contribution to the decor consists of West African cultural artifacts, among them carved masks and crossed spears behind a painted shield on the walls, and assorted statuary adorning the shelves. Immediately surrounding the outer walls, often sheltered from the elements by overhanging sections of the roof to create, in effect, an outdoors living area. Notable among the expanses of patio are the hearth and infinity pool, ghe latter offering a dramatic illusion of cascading over the cliffs to the meet the waves crashing far below. Built atop the cliffs overlooking the harbour and facing the Pacific Ocean, wide expanses of floor–to–ceiling glass serves to welcome the elements. The combination of open layout, high ceilings, natural materials and minimalist furnishings make the stunning ocean view the real focus of the design. Elements of Style Refinement and sophisticated taste is perhaps not the first thing that comes to mind when the subject is a young man of questionable upbringing, but Adeyemi's mother's family affords him great wealth, and he has immersed himself in the trappings of luxury and social position, developing a particular taste for bespoke clothing in the finest English tradition, to the point of seeming something of a dandy with his fastidious manner and stylish affectation. Of course, at his size and powerful build no one has felt the need to comment on his tendency to preen or peacock. At least not when he might hear. Exclusivity He has, on the other hand, also acquired a taste for both exclusivity and the sort of raw, visceral power as exhibited by his Aston Martin One–77 which, while capable of speed in excess of 220 mph does so in comfort and with the utmost aplomb. To say nothing of the dramatic, powerful, crouched, feline shape, nothing about the vehicle modest or restrained but executed with style to burn.
