Snim's Description

Snim, a mage of the tsint (elvish) race, currently hiding his face, for he has become an undead of terrible appearance and fate; a true cornerstone of the world's greatest quest.

There are several descriptions Snim's player has made. Here are some:

  1. General description for people outside the party: [16 May 1995]

    Written only for those who will not join our party, for here is enclosed information not freely available.

    The character: I am what you would call "an Elf", in my world we are called the Tsint as a race, a tsint for a person of that race.

    My full name is - Tsint NoitRaTsed AmiSakar MeistRaKan DHannaMerTsami Snim HaQuidesitsuhur.

    I present myself as Tsint.

    I am tutored in the arts of that called MAGIC by the people, I have been advised and counseld by the greatest craftsmen available. (This word is used rather than alive as the latter would have narrowed it down by so much. )
    I skilled myself in the ways of silence, I know ways into rooms and out, and I can do it slicker then any cat.
    Also I am learning the one who is known as the teaching of Shanki . It is a who and not a which, for it is as it is a lore of the student's own.

    I said I am a Tsint. It is a sin to truth, I am Tsint in origin and education. I am NoitRaTsed AmiSakar MeistRaKan, I am UnDead.
    It is not a sin to life - it's a deal for it. The gods of life named Kaia, and Kella the deity of the dwarves, has agreed to this deal in which I shall not allow them to be brought to their death via allowing the stopping of TIME and they will allow for my existence as I am, UnDead.

    Death is virtual; it happens to others.

  2. Thorough description [7 Apr 1995]:

    Formal full name:

    Tsint Snim HaQuidesitsuhur, DHannaMeRTsami NoitRaTsed AmiSakar MeistRaKan.

    I think of myself as Tsint, all other names are insufficeint simplifications of that one name which was given me by the existence of Mirn-Kaia itself.

    Appearance: Most inhabitants of MirnKaia deal with magic, all such beings can see I do so also.
    Some inhabitants can see into the infra-red, they can see 'heat', they see my clothing are very good at isolation. If they are observative they see that I am simply very cold, all over my body I have the ambient temperature. Those who know more about magic and have some intellect see me for what I mostly am, an undead.
    My face is coverd with an illusion above a cloth mask. I like it better this way.

    I am slim and my dress is casual, I look like all the persons next door in a big city, anonymous. I reach 1.55 meters into the heavens above the ground, my hair is long silver silk [see note below - the Massi] and my eyes are like my skin, pale green.
    I move about with a big mace, That is the first anomaly about my appearance, the mace is magical. I have a tattoo on my left arm, for those who know the Tsint, that is my second anomaly, it goes with the ring in my ear. My third anomaly is seen when I tred the bare earth, saplings and plants and all that lives and tuoch me are scorched.

    I am undead.

    Future appearance: I will have a cat as a pet, it will be undead.
    I might at times of need change appearance as the call is.
    The look of an outcast is best fitting, rugged, dirty, tired and unwanted.
    The look of magical importance can also be created.
    At all times my face is coverd by a cloth mask and an illusion.

    I am undead.

    Special features: I usually go about with Dead Man's Shade II activated. Then I look like a black body, rediating only blackness, like black velvet.

    Life is existence and change,
    bearer of death for the sake of the living.
    I am undead!

    Tsint.

    Thus is, and always was. Forever and beyond time. Snim HaQuidesitsuhur is complete, I begin. Cest la has compiled this collection of thoughts so that the world may know of all that is.

    Massi's Note: recently Snim's silver hair has become ghostly white. Apparently this represents one of the changes he undergoes constantly.

  3. A report on Snim's behaviour [19 Jul 1995]:

    Tsint now looks so: naked but for a loin cloth of pants like appearance, and a cloth mask. A handle of a knife is stiking out of the right arm, a bit after the hand, implying the knife is stuck into the rest of the arm.The hair is set in a pony tail.

    Massi's Note: this description also included some technical details that have been left out, for they contain data on necromantic programming which cannot be understood by non-specialists.

  4. For a much older description of Snim, look in this document (look here to see the historic situation beyond this description).

Note that in the Timelord's Game of Role Playing, Snim chose to take the role of a paladin of the God of Free Choice (corresponding to the real god Zisqued), a warrior of a chaotic disposition whose name is the graphic sign ":)" (if you can't pronounce it, call him Smiley...).
