* '''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 [http://shop.edeandravenscroft.co.uk 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. | * '''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.

− | * '''Sokto''' | + | * '''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. |

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. |

* '''Architecture''' 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. <br /> | * '''Architecture''' 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.
