Physical Description

[Falconer]

I'm trying to compile info we have on the siblings' physical descriptions, and instead of going through the whole thing on my own, I thought we could do it together! 

I'm going to make a post, and I will edit the list with new details as we get them. References would be ideal, but are not required, so please help by posting anything you remember about them: hair length, high cheekbones (for Anosanim I think  , and Talin too of course), thin/muscular, etc.

Thanks! 

[Falconer]

KUDORIN

- Eyes: [...]his eyes, with their lush, curling lashes, were like prisms, capturing and reflecting every vibrant color that Bade had ever seen.
His fascinating, ever-changing, beautiful eyes. (131.7)

His eyelashes were several different shades of six different colors. (75.5)

- Hair: "His long hair shimmered like the fall of a rainbow [...]"

"[...] his hair, strands of red and orange and gold and green and blue and purple, hung loose down his back, silken and thick and threaded through with jewels."  (5)

- Body: He was tall, and firm with muscle, each line of his body in perfect, ideal proportion and condition.  He had a strong jaw, a straight nose, high cheekbones, and a full, sensuous mouth.  His teeth were very white and very even.  (5)

"The smoothness of Anosukinom’s young skin, his muscles more firm and toned than the best athlete’s, the thickness of his richly colored and lustrous hair, his lashes alone more beautiful than any artist’s creation, the particular placement of each feature, the exquisitely tailored line of every plane and curve [...]" || "Anosukinom’s hand, shaped with the masculine elegance found in only the best marble [...]"(131.7)

"Now that he and the pharaoh were standing so close in the space between the chair and the table, he was captivated by the true smoothness of the pharaoh’s skin.  Not a blemish, not a wrinkle, not a mole, not a freckle, only pure perfection, like cream, like silk, like, oh, he was beginning to tingle…" (5)
 
"Truth be told, it was a perfect arm, beautifully proportioned, masculine but not overly muscular.  And, no, he didn’t have very much body hair; none on his chest, just a dusting over his forearm.  What he did have was predictably rainbow-colored." ( 8 )


REMIN

- Hair length: His long hair was a thick curtain across his back. (62.2)

- Hair and eye color: gold. (His is more like gold itself, more…metallic.-- (1)

[His eyes] were very golden, with a metallic shine but not hard [...] (76.2)

his eyelashes are pure gold (40.13)

- Body: Tall and slender with pointy elbows  but with lean and tight muscles.

[...] he was thin as a stick. (2)

[...] now Remin had a sleek layer of muscle over his slender body [...] (2)

He looked younger than usual.  Physically stronger.  Remin’s regular manual labor with Desin was really beginning to  show. (62.2)

His body was long and lean but definitely very fit, taut with lovingly defined muscle.  His loose pants hung low on his trim hips, low enough to tantalize Bade with a hint at the enticing curve of his ass, a glimpse of smooth flesh several inches below the navel where there would definitely be pubic hair on a Nosupolin.  His skin was flawless as the smoothest of creams, and he moved as if in perfect, natural command of every inch of it.  There was nothing awkward about Remin’s movements, nothing stilted; he possessed innate, authoritative, erotic grace. (62.3)

"There was something about Remin that not only caught the eye but the libido as well.  He had a certain erotic languor to his movements, an unintentional sexuality in his gestures and postures.  Sex was such a priority for Remin, it had become a part of him, simmering behind his eyes, waiting, coiled, within his limbs.  His long, lean body was primed, ready on a moment’s notice.  His golden eyes held an awareness, a watchfulness, that could be attributed to his access to spiritual knowledge but suggested, in a blink, a kind of carnal knowledge that seemed incongruous in a holy man.  Impossibly beautiful as Remin was, there was always the subtle implication that he would look even better on his knees, golden lashes lowered, the sun-drenched strands of his golden hair falling about his shoulders as he curled his long, lean fingers around his lover’s erection." (55.10)

There was an erotic curve to Remin’s lips, a seductive, private fire in the glint of his golden eyes. (66.11)


ORINAKIN

-Hair: His hair was at least five kinds of purple, different shades all blending together.
"slippery-silky, long and abundant." (66.11)

"His hair spilled over his shoulders, thick and long down his back." (15)

"such thick, glossy hair [...]"  (22)

-Eyes: And purple eyes.  Vividly purple, lighter violet around the edges darkening to a deep plum color. (1) " [...] his eyebrows were purple, and so were his long, thick lashes, light as lilac at the tips." (1)
"Orinakin’s high cheekbones, straight nose, and sensuous mouth put sculpture to shame, and those captivating amethyst eyes--" ( 2 )

"A thick, curling fringe of purple lashes rested on a smooth cheek.  Purple eyebrows arched regally over eyes that, when opened, would hold all of the shades of purple in the world." (22)

[...] turning his head and looking into Orinakin’s eyes.  Purple, with just the lightest stroke of liner at the outside corner.  (31)

-Body: The straight nose, the arching eyebrows, the soft pink lips with the same little amused quirk [...]. (1) High cheekbones (86.22).

Their hair even grew in the same patterns, Orinakin’s darkest strands in the exact same place as Selorin’s.  Their sensuous mouths had the same little quirk when they were amused.  [...] Emotion showed more readily on Orinakin’s face, but in subtle ways, around his eyes, around his mouth, nothing too broad, nothing too obvious.  There was a trace of arrogance in Selorin, a hint of skepticism, that wasn’t as present in Orinakin, and his posture, his expression, conveyed that in minute ways.  Orinakin had seen suffering and joy and hope and despair across the world, and that had touched him, softened him and strengthened him; Selorin remained at home, ridding the country of injustice and punishing criminals. (55.10)

"His lips were a temptingly glossy pink.  His arms were perfect, firm with muscle and utterly smooth, and there was only the littlest bit of purple fuzz at his underarms." (15)

"All of that pure, smooth skin, those broad shoulders, those long limbs, that perfectly molded musculature, Orinakin’s beauty was incomparable." (28)


SELORIN

- Hair: Blue. There were at least five shades of blue in his hair and ten in his eyes.
"slippery-silky, long and abundant." (66.11)

"I can’t believe there are this many shades of blue all in one place.  I’ve never seen anything so close to black, but not black, at the same time.  It’s like something that only exists in the sky, that dark kind of blue that feels like nighttime." (73.7)

-Eyes: Blue. There were at least five shades of blue in his hair and ten in his eyes.

- Body: The straight nose, the arching eyebrows, the soft pink lips with the same little amused quirk [...]. (1) High cheekbones (86.22).

Their hair even grew in the same patterns, Orinakin’s darkest strands in the exact same place as Selorin’s.  Their sensuous mouths had the same little quirk when they were amused.  [...] Emotion showed more readily on Orinakin’s face, but in subtle ways, around his eyes, around his mouth, nothing too broad, nothing too obvious.  There was a trace of arrogance in Selorin, a hint of skepticism, that wasn’t as present in Orinakin, and his posture, his expression, conveyed that in minute ways.  Orinakin had seen suffering and joy and hope and despair across the world, and that had touched him, softened him and strengthened him; Selorin remained at home, ridding the country of injustice and punishing criminals.  (55.10)

"Selorin’s cropped shirt exposed his stomach and lower back, and his skin appeared just as smooth and taut as Bade remembered Orinakin’s looking, with firm abs and a flawless back, not a hair in sight, skin like freshly poured cream." (15)

"Selorin had the same firm pecs, the same strong thighs, the same muscular arms, the same taut, rippling stomach muscles.  The same tiny pink nipples. [as Orinakin]" (28)

DESIN

- Eyes: But in the shimmering green of his eyes, there was good humor, and affection. (55.10)

- Hair: his green hair cut short as if he’d taken his own pruning shears to it ( 2 )
"The most vivid strands were like freshly cut grass, the darker strands like dew-damp grass at night." (27)
-
- Body: "Desin was a rather large man, and very muscular." "Stretching out his long, muscular legs before him [...]" ( 8 )

"What are you made of, iron?  There’s no reason for you to be this huge unless you’re five people.” ( 2 )

Desin’s beauty was almost an afterthought, because it wasn’t important to him.  What mattered more to Desin was his body, its strength, its capabilities, and that was apparent; he came across as a very physical person, with a very real, physical presence.  His obvious outward strength, the prominence of his muscles, the bulging of his biceps, the cording of his forearms, had a counterpart in the strength of his spirit.  Desin dealt with birth and death, with life at all stages, daily.  He was neither awed nor afraid of either one, and that created a pragmatism that showed in the simplicity of his clothing, the casual cut of his short hair.  For a man who fed a nation, he wasn’t very nurturing in a coddling sense of the word.  He’d seen too much of the cruelty of life to be romantic about something as necessary as food, or sex, or water, or animals, or the weather.  But in the shimmering green of his eyes, there was good humor, and affection.  Desin was comfortable with his place in life, at peace with who he was.  It showed in his relaxed, natural posture, his casual movements, his easy smile. (55.10)

ANOSANIM

- Eyes: his tangerine eyes (86). "[...] wide eyes, so many emotions and so many colors in there, so many strains of orange, almost turning into white and brown and yellow and red but never going too far." (55.10).

- Hair: Anosanim’s softly curling wealth of hair. (Ch. 87) Vivid orange (Ch. 91) His hair is thick and wavy. (Ch. 76) Cascading (55.10). Curling and flowing (55.10).

"[...] his hair, which was in abundant waves that rippled in soft, loose curls past his waist." (31.1)

- Body: High brow, smooth chin, graceful nose.

"Anosanim’s exotic beauty was only flattered by little tricks of style.  Hair could be braided to expose pretty ears and a lovely expanse of smooth neck.  Make-up could highlight cheekbones, draw attention to captivating eyes, heighten the attractions of a sweet, exquisite mouth.  He knew which clothing would complement his long, strong legs, and which would minimize or even feminize his frankly masculine shoulders.  Anosanim was an exotic creature, with his cascading hair and his wide eyes, so many emotions and so many colors in there, so many strains of orange, almost turning into white and brown and yellow and red but never going too far.  His skin was so delicate, so smooth, so soft, like a child’s, but with such capable muscle underneath.  He looked so pretty and acted so pretty and spoke so sweetly that a cloud of perfume seemed to hang over everything that he touched.  But underneath all of that soft sweetness was strength, and knowledge, and the ability to construct an entire carriage with his bare hands.  Anosanim would always be underestimated, his soft charms and fluttering words easily dismissed, but his strength would always be there, in the tight muscles underneath that lovely skin, in the sharp mind under that curling and flowing hair.  Like the mark on his hand easily unseen past the painted nails and glittering rings and jangling bracelets, Anosanim’s power was subtle, quiet but always, always there." (55.10)

"Anosanim’s body was used to physical work and was serviceably strong, with long, smooth, elegantly defined muscles.  He usually disguised his biceps and muscular forearms with sleeves and ruffles, distracting the eye with bangles and bracelets, but for aesthetic reasons only. [...] Anosanim had a sexually arresting upper body, trim hips, taut thighs, a firm ass, and enough of a bulge between his thighs to mesmerize belas." (115.3)


His orange shirt was so pale it was almost white, with a scooped neck.  The bright orange laces down the front looped over each other instead of just crisscrossing, and two long ovals had been cut out on each sleeve to show his arm.  Below a braided belt he wore dark orange pants and even darker, short boots.  Matching brightly colored laces went right up the front and, Bade noticed, up the back of each pant leg.  Personally, Bade never wore pants that hard to get into.  Anosanim had great masses of hair tonight, down past his waist, curling and waving so thickly that, had he been from any other family, Bade would’ve been sure that wasn’t all his. (31)


TALIN

- Eyes: Red. "Sometimes having red eyes helped; most people saw them as lushly colored, beautiful jewels, but some people saw them as filled with blood and couldn’t stand to look." (30.2) "Talin’s fire-red gaze." (72.3)

- Hair: "Anosanim deftly braided Talin’s hair, strands of ruby and cherry and brick and scarlet and crimson and garnet and burgundy and vermilion and cardinal and fire slipping through his fingers." (123)

The slight flicker of Talin’s scarlet eyebrow. || Talin’s beautiful fire-red hair.   (74.9)

- Body: High brow, smooth chin, graceful nose. 

"[...] Talin had an unconscious and subtle dramatic flair in the lines of his body, his angle toward the light, and the flow of his hair." (92.6)

Talin’s pale red shirt was nearly open to the waist, the bright red laces loose to reveal a firm expanse of smooth, taut skin.  His red leather pants laced at the crotch, the ends of those laces dangling to mid-thigh and tipped with bright red beads, and his dark red boots laced up to mid-thigh.  Anosanim’s touches were in the cut, and in the details, like the bright red laces at the cuffs of the sleeves.  Talin’s hair had been braided back from his forehead in a crisscrossing pattern, and fell smoothly over his shoulders.

            There was something about the way the red leather clung to his thighs, something about the fact that Bade knew just how to undo those laces, that made the appeal of that outfit unusually strong. (31)

RINI

- Hair:  [...] black and white hair stood out all over his head in short spikes. (13.12) "[...]his hair was black and white and short and spiky." (WtO.1)

- Eyes: Silver. "[...]that vivid, shimmering, shining, polished silver [...]" (WtO.1)

"His silver eyes were lined with black, his lashes thick and curling."  (13)

His eyes lacked the same knowledge of human nature that Orinakin and Selorin had gained.  Beauty shimmered in those silver depths, with happiness, and hope, and faith, and trust. [...] It all mixed there in his eyes, black and white combined into silver, shining and fascinating. (55.10)

- Body: [...] his finely detailed musculature [...]. (1)

He's the shortest of the siblings. (2)

“I’m almost as tall as you are, now,” Rini said. [addressing Orinakin]
  “You’re still the shortest,” Talin said.  ---> This suggests that Orinakin and Selorin are the shortest after Rini.

Rini’s beauty was almost outshone by the happiness in his friendly smile, by the sparkle in his friendly eyes.  His expression flashed quickly to a generous openness that would have made even the homeliest face a pleasure to look at.  There was an innocence in his openness that spoke of a lack of life experience.  His eyes lacked the same knowledge of human nature that Orinakin and Selorin had gained.  Beauty shimmered in those silver depths, with happiness, and hope, and faith, and trust.  Two, three, four times as often as Rini reached for something, he offered something else.  An anomaly among the siblings, Rini’s hair came in only two colors, but they were both bold, striking, a stark contrast.  But that was Rini.  Black and white.  Greedy and generous.  Lazy but always up to something.  Self-absorbed but always vocal about injustice to others.  It all mixed there in his eyes, black and white combined into silver, shining and fascinating.  Lively, enthusiastic, beautiful Rini. (55.10)

"They were perfect thighs; they looked firm, muscular without being intimidating." "His legs alone, so firm, looked long-" (13.12)

"His high cheekbones, his firm arms, the smooth skin of his neck, the delicate softness of his lips, the length of his taut thighs." (WtO)

"He was long and lean, his build slim yet masculine.  His skin was smooth and taut, with not a mark, not a scar, not a mole, not a freckle.  His chest was firm and well-defined in a pretty, still-boyish way, clearly indicating the muscular strength of the man he was developing into.  His stomach was flat and ridged with muscle.  And his nipples were a delicate, kissable pink." (WtO)

"Over his finely detailed musculature, the skin of his chest and arms was as smooth and perfect as delicately poured cream." (2)

"His silver shirt was sleeveless and made of some shimmering, mesh-like material, so tight to his body that Bade could see the perfection of his skin, the lines of his pecs, and the delicate sweetness of his nipples.  The shirt stopped halfway down his torso, leaving his abdomen bare; about his waist was a heavy silver belt, and below that was a skirt.  A tight, black, very small skirt.  Bade had never seen a woman dressed in a skirt of this type, let alone a beautiful young man; it was so short that Bade could see almost the entirety of his smooth, naked thighs.  They were perfect thighs; they looked firm, muscular without being intimidating, and made for touching.  His legs were naked all the way down to his elaborately strapped silver shoes, with laces winding around his ankles."  (13)

[Matthew Haldeman-Time]

Orinakin, ITL 1.4:

...his eyebrows were purple, and so were his long, thick lashes, light as lilac at the tips.  Even the hair on his forearms looked kind of purple, although his long sleeves tended to cover it, so Bade couldn’t be sure.

You'd already included "Purple eyebrows and lashes," but I like the detail that his lashes go (so it would seem) from dark to light.

-Matthew

[Falconer]

Thanks! I'll add that. 

[LilacMajesty]

I couldn't tell you exactly where its at, but it says that Remin's hair cascades down his back.  I believe its the scene where Bade and Vade are watching Remin out a window.

This is a great idea!  You should totally add these on their individual Wiki pages!  (Except for Kudorin's, since the Ch.5 description's already there.)

If you want, you can carry over the format from Kudorin's page: underneath the "Biography" sub-heading, here's the code with an example:

=== Trivia ===
==== Personal Information ====
*Desin is a very strong, muscular, and attractive man.
'''<blockquote>[[Prince Bade]]'s first time seeing Desin:</blockquote>'''
''<blockquote>blahblahblah. ^{[ITL  ]}</blockquote>''

If you don't want to, you can put the info under "Biography" and I'll format them for you later.

Sure, I'll do that as soon as I have more free time. For now though, I think it's easier to compile everything we come across of here, and once that's done, we can go through the info, and decide what should go in the Wiki. 

[JaeFire]

For now though, I think it's easier to compile everything we come across of here, and once that's done, we can go through the info, and decide what should go in the Wiki. 

Definitely.  There are a lot of descriptions of the Siblings, some more memorable than others.  Actually, that was one reason I never even thought to tackle any physical descriptions (besides Kudorin's and Xio Voe's): there's just so much to choose from, and my brain just stopped mentally bookmarking where specific passages were pretty early on unless the description was a paragraph or something.  I'm so glad you started this thread, actually. 

Oh, and here's my addition to the thread:

--------------------------------------

Ch.62.2:
Remin drew his knees up.  It wasn’t something that he normally did, because he usually had his robe on, but now he wore simple drawstring pants, the starlight shining faintly on his pale skin, his bare torso.  His long hair was a thick curtain across his back.

He looked younger than usual.  Physically stronger.  Remin’s regular manual labor with Desin was really beginning to  show.

Ch.62.3:
Wow.  Talking with Desin, standing in the moonlight, shifting to accommodate Norisa, who kept stalking around their feet, Remin afforded Bade a view of each erotic angle.  His body was long and lean but definitely very fit, taut with lovingly defined muscle.  His loose pants hung low on his trim hips, low enough to tantalize Bade with a hint at the enticing curve of his ass, a glimpse of smooth flesh several inches below the navel where there would definitely be pubic hair on a Nosupolin.  His skin was flawless as the smoothest of creams, and he moved as if in perfect, natural command of every inch of it.  There was nothing awkward about Remin’s movements, nothing stilted; he possessed innate, authoritative, erotic grace.  Stepping back from Norisa, he shifted his weight and matter-of-factly tossed his hair, the golden-

Ch.55.10:
Across the table from him, Orinakin and Selorin sat side-by-side, identical copies of each other, down to simple gestures, a wave of the hand, a curl of the fingers, a smile, an expression of concern, a growing frown of disagreement.  Their hair even grew in the same patterns, Orinakin’s darkest strands in the exact same place as Selorin’s.  Their sensuous mouths had the same little quirk when they were amused.  He wanted to paint them, side-by-side on the same canvas, and show their differences.  Emotion showed more readily on Orinakin’s face, but in subtle ways, around his eyes, around his mouth, nothing too broad, nothing too obvious.  There was a trace of arrogance in Selorin, a hint of skepticism, that wasn’t as present in Orinakin, and his posture, his expression, conveyed that in minute ways.  Orinakin had seen suffering and joy and hope and despair across the world, and that had touched him, softened him and strengthened him; Selorin remained at home, ridding the country of injustice and punishing criminals.  Talin saw the difference that had created between them, but could he translate that in canvas?

            Desin’s beauty was almost an afterthought, because it wasn’t important to him.  What mattered more to Desin was his body, its strength, its capabilities, and that was apparent; he came across as a very physical person, with a very real, physical presence.  His obvious outward strength, the prominence of his muscles, the bulging of his biceps, the cording of his forearms, had a counterpart in the strength of his spirit.  Desin dealt with birth and death, with life at all stages, daily.  He was neither awed nor afraid of either one, and that created a pragmatism that showed in the simplicity of his clothing, the casual cut of his short hair.  For a man who fed a nation, he wasn’t very nurturing in a coddling sense of the word.  He’d seen too much of the cruelty of life to be romantic about something as necessary as food, or sex, or water, or animals, or the weather.  But in the shimmering green of his eyes, there was good humor, and affection.  Desin was comfortable with his place in life, at peace with who he was.  It showed in his relaxed, natural posture, his casual movements, his easy smile.

            Rini’s beauty was almost outshone by the happiness in his friendly smile, by the sparkle in his friendly eyes.  His expression flashed quickly to a generous openness that would have made even the homeliest face a pleasure to look at.  There was an innocence in his openness that spoke of a lack of life experience.  His eyes lacked the same knowledge of human nature that Orinakin and Selorin had gained.  Beauty shimmered in those silver depths, with happiness, and hope, and faith, and trust.  Two, three, four times as often as Rini reached for something, he offered something else.  An anomaly among the siblings, Rini’s hair came in only two colors, but they were both bold, striking, a stark contrast.  But that was Rini.  Black and white.  Greedy and generous.  Lazy but always up to something.  Self-absorbed but always vocal about injustice to others.  It all mixed there in his eyes, black and white combined into silver, shining and fascinating.  Lively, enthusiastic, beautiful Rini.  For him, black and white would never just make gray, when they could be brighter, better silver.

            Kudorin was so beautiful, so supremely, divinely, incomparably beautiful, that Talin’s soul ached with loving him.  His beauty was so great that it hurt not to sketch him, and Talin couldn’t stare for long.

            Anosanim’s exotic beauty was only flattered by little tricks of style.  Hair could be braided to expose pretty ears and a lovely expanse of smooth neck.  Make-up could highlight cheekbones, draw attention to captivating eyes, heighten the attractions of a sweet, exquisite mouth.  He knew which clothing would complement his long, strong legs, and which would minimize or even feminize his frankly masculine shoulders.  Anosanim was an exotic creature, with his cascading hair and his wide eyes, so many emotions and so many colors in there, so many strains of orange, almost turning into white and brown and yellow and red but never going too far.  His skin was so delicate, so smooth, so soft, like a child’s, but with such capable muscle underneath.  He looked so pretty and acted so pretty and spoke so sweetly that a cloud of perfume seemed to hang over everything that he touched.  But underneath all of that soft sweetness was strength, and knowledge, and the ability to construct an entire carriage with his bare hands.  Anosanim would always be underestimated, his soft charms and fluttering words easily dismissed, but his strength would always be there, in the tight muscles underneath that lovely skin, in the sharp mind under that curling and flowing hair.  Like the mark on his hand easily unseen past the painted nails and glittering rings and jangling bracelets, Anosanim’s power was subtle, quiet but always, always there.

            Popular opinion suggested that, with Kudorin as an obvious exception, Remin was the most handsome of them all.  Talin was more inclined to believe Rini, who’d said, “I’m just as good-looking as Remin is.  He’s just so sexy, he tricks your mind into thinking he’s even better-looking than he actually is.”  There was something about Remin that not only caught the eye but the libido as well.  He had a certain erotic languor to his movements, an unintentional sexuality in his gestures and postures.  Sex was such a priority for Remin, it had become a part of him, simmering behind his eyes, waiting, coiled, within his limbs.  His long, lean body was primed, ready on a moment’s notice.  His golden eyes held an awareness, a watchfulness, that could be attributed to his access to spiritual knowledge but suggested, in a blink, a kind of carnal knowledge that seemed incongruous in a holy man.  Impossibly beautiful as Remin was, there was always the subtle implication that he would look even better on his knees, golden lashes lowered, the sun-drenched strands of his golden hair falling about his shoulders as he curled his long, lean fingers around his lover’s erection.

Ch.76.2: Wondering what Remin was going to say, he stepped closer.  Remin’s hand settled on his forehead, and while he didn’t get any sort of divine tingle from the touch, he did feel sort of…settled.  Peaceful.  There was a sense of harmony, or calmness.  As Remin’s mouth opened, he looked into Remin’s eyes.  They were very golden, with a metallic shine but not hard, more like…

[SilverMoon28]

Here's something from Chapter 131:

The smoothness of Anosukinom’s young skin, his muscles more firm and toned than the best athlete’s, the thickness of his richly colored and lustrous hair, his lashes alone more beautiful than any artist’s creation, the particular placement of each feature, the exquisitely tailored line of every plane and curve, the-

Yet another testimony to Anosukinom's perfection.

It was already in the post. Thanks though!

[anaskee]

I was on vacation for a few weeks and couldn't access the internet but I remember seeing this thread when I left so I took The Purple Book and got a few chapters in my HTC and took notes while reading.  Here's some more:

Kudorin: 
"Now that he and the pharaoh were standing so close in the space between the chair and the table, he was captivated by the true smoothness of the pharaoh’s skin.  Not a blemish, not a wrinkle, not a mole, not a freckle, only pure perfection, like cream, like silk, like, oh, he was beginning to tingle…" (chapter 5)
 
"Truth be told, it was a perfect arm, beautifully proportioned, masculine but not overly muscular.  And, no, he didn’t have very much body hair; none on his chest, just a dusting over his forearm.  What he did have was predictably rainbow-colored." (chapter 8 )

Desin:
"The most vivid strands were like freshly cut grass, the darker strands like dew-damp grass at night." (About Desin's hair, chapter 27)

This one just because it's funny.  "What are you made of, iron?  There’s no reason for you to be this huge unless you’re five people.” (chapter 2)

Orinakin:
"Orinakin’s high cheekbones, straight nose, and sensuous mouth put sculpture to shame, and those captivating amethyst eyes--" (chapter 2)

"It looks so perfect, it looks so smooth, it’s like delicate cream, there isn’t even the tiniest mark, and the hair is so fine, if I touched him it’d be so soft, but it doesn’t look feminine soft, it looks taut and smooth, it has to feel - -" (chapter 7)

"His hair spilled over his shoulders, thick and long down his back.  His lips were a temptingly glossy pink.  His arms were perfect, firm with muscle and utterly smooth, and there was only the littlest bit of purple fuzz at his underarms." (chapter 15)

"Such a silky, muscular back, such thick, glossy hair,"  "Purple hair cascaded across Bade’s pillow.  A thick, curling fringe of purple lashes rested on a smooth cheek.  Purple eyebrows arched regally over eyes that, when opened, would hold all of the shades of purple in the world." (chapter 22)

"All of that pure, smooth skin, those broad shoulders, those long limbs, that perfectly molded musculature, Orinakin’s beauty was incomparable." (chapter 28)


Selorin:
And Orinakin, I guess. "Selorin’s cropped shirt exposed his stomach and lower back, and his skin appeared just as smooth and taut as Bade remembered Orinakin’s looking, with firm abs and a flawless back, not a hair in sight, skin like freshly poured cream." (chapter 15)  "Selorin had the same firm pecs, the same strong thighs, the same muscular arms, the same taut, rippling stomach muscles.  The same tiny pink nipples." (chapter 28)

Rini:
"Black and white hair stood all over his head; he wore blue pants with a red scarf about his neck.  Over his finely detailed musculature, the skin of his chest and arms was as smooth and perfect as delicately poured cream." (chapter 2)

"Rini’s black and white hair stood out all over his head in short spikes.  His silver eyes were lined with black, his lashes thick and curling.  His silver shirt was sleeveless and made of some shimmering, mesh-like material, so tight to his body that Bade could see the perfection of his skin, the lines of his pecs, and the delicate sweetness of his nipples.  The shirt stopped halfway down his torso, leaving his abdomen bare; about his waist was a heavy silver belt, and below that was a skirt.  A tight, black, very small skirt.  Bade had never seen a woman dressed in a skirt of this type, let alone a beautiful young man; it was so short that Bade could see almost the entirety of his smooth, naked thighs.  They were perfect thighs; they looked firm, muscular without being intimidating, and made for touching.  His legs were naked all the way down to his elaborately strapped silver shoes, with laces winding around his ankles."
  (chapter 13)

Chapter 14.  This one is more of the siblings' personality than physical description but still...

           

Talin’s walk toward the throne had been all purposeful, stalking confidence.  Anosanim’s walk had been a lot like Bade’s mother’s walk, or the Queen of Granete’s walk; it was even more queenly than Anikira’s.  Desin’s stride had been firm and masculine, like he’d been on his way to uproot a tree somewhere.  Rini’s had looked like he’d either been about to skip or about to wriggle, like walking was too mundane for him.  Orinakin’s had been smooth, confident, and regal.

            Remin walked toward the throne like he was leading a pack of hundreds to their god.  He was majestic; he was powerful.  Bade expected to hear a crack of thunder or see bolts of lightning around his feet with each step.  His authority was almost tangible.

I was on vacation for a few weeks and couldn't access the internet but I remember seeing this thread when I left so I took The Purple Book and got a few chapters in my HTC and took notes while reading.  Here's some more:

Kudorin: 
"Now that he and the pharaoh were standing so close in the space between the chair and the table, he was captivated by the true smoothness of the pharaoh’s skin.  Not a blemish, not a wrinkle, not a mole, not a freckle, only pure perfection, like cream, like silk, like, oh, he was beginning to tingle…" (chapter 5)

Wow, this is going on Kudorin's Wiki page!  Great job!  (I'm just randomly picking stuff b/c I just finished a paper, not b/c all of the descriptions people are putting aren't absolutely wonderful.  No productivity for 3 hours, dammit!  I need to eat dinner...)

I am slowly re-reading ITL and I'm in chapter 35.  It's no big deal to write down the chapter# when I encounter one so I'll probably add some more later. 

[Falconer]

Wow, thanks Ana! 

[SilverMoon28]

I say Rini, Liz says Talin...

What do you guys think?

[LilacMajesty]

I say Talin for two reasons - Adam's height and his age.  And because I'm always right.

[Matthew Haldeman-Time]

How tall are Talin, Rini, and Adam?

-Matthew

[LilacMajesty]

Adam is at least 6'3", perhaps taller.  It says near the beginning of ITL that Rini is the shortest of the Siblings, in fact - I believe its Talin that points that out.  lol  Adam is probably too old for Talin/Anosanim (I realized last night he'd have to play both parts) but I'd still love to see him pull it off.  Since he is The Adam Bomb - he can do anything.

[blondiechic0]

How tall are Talin, Rini, and Adam?

-Matthew

See, that's what I wanna know. And is Bade taller or shorter than his husband?

[SilverMoon28]

Liz said something the other day that made me laugh:

'OH MY GOD, ADAM COULD PLAY KUDORIN!!!'

I had a feeling she'd say that.

But I dunno... he certainly looks amazing, but... can Anosukinom's beauty be found in us regular mortals?

[LilacMajesty]

Adam Lambert is no mere mortal, and therefore is perfect for the part of Anosukinom. 

[SilverMoon28]

Ya know, I could say the same thing about Nick Carter.  Or about Orlando Bloom.  Or Nick Carter... or... Nick.  I do think that Nick Carter could play one of the Siblings.  The question is, which one?  And, for some reason, I see Lance Bass as playing Desin.  Don't ask.

[LilacMajesty]

I'd say Jeff Timmons for Desin, except maybe he might be too short.  Nick for Rini?  Hmmm Maybe too tall.  Maybe Nick for Hitari, and I'd just hide my face when he got carted off to jail.  And I am sooooo standing by my Adam Lambert for Anosukinom.

[Susanne]

Adam Lambert is no mere mortal, and therefore is perfect for the part of Anosukinom. 

IM staying out of this conversation...my man is already playing a god 

[Susanne]

I'd say Jeff Timmons for Desin, except maybe he might be too short.  Nick for Rini?  Hmmm Maybe too tall.  Maybe Nick for Hitari, and I'd just hide my face when he got carted off to jail.  And I am sooooo standing by my Adam Lambert for Anosukinom.

Ok maybe one thing i'll say...Eric Bana - Desin

[LilacMajesty]

If we could make him look younger, that would sooo work.  HEY!  What about Orlando for Rini?

[Susanne]

If we could make him look younger, that would sooo work.  HEY!  What about Orlando for Rini?

Well if your talking movie then they can just use some of there "movie magic" buff both Eric and Orli up like they were in Troy and change there hair styles and color and there eyes and i think Eric would make an awesome Desin and Orlando an adorable Rini.

[mooney225]

I say Bill Kaulitz for Rini....................

[blondiechic0]

For safety posts.

[Mountie]

I say Bill Kaulitz for Rini....................

I think he's a perfect Rhini

[CourtneyLee]

Remove the eyebrow piercing, put more chunks of white in his hair and make it less poofy, and turn his eyes silver and he'd be a really good Rini. He's certainly pretty enough. 

[LilacMajesty]

Oh yeah - I am definitely on the Bill Kaulitz for Rini bandwagon.  More of y'all need to help me out with my Adam Lambert as Anosukinom campaign.

[CourtneyLee]

I just did an image search for Adam Lambert because I didn't know who he was. He's hot, but I don't know if he's Anosukinom material. It may be that no one is Anosukinom material. 

[Falconer]

There's a casting thread where we've been throwing ideas about actors and stuff: http://matthewhaldemantime.com/board/index.php/topic,13.0.html

I think this discussion would belong best there and it'd be good to keep everything together in the same thread. I don't think we had a Rini over there, either. 

[SilverMoon28]

I don't know if this would count as a physical description, but it's the feeling Orinakin has when he embradces Kudorin in chapter 3, right after he comes home with Bade and the other suitors:

Kudorin’s voice was like music, sometimes, and sometimes like smoke, and sometimes like the dew that pearled across the grass in bright drops on early mornings.  At the moment, soft by Orinakin’s ear, it sounded like the way that seeing the river again had made him feel: he was at home again, a home he loved, a home that loved him.  The words themselves were of no consequence; some of them were unknown even to Orinakin.  But the sound of them, the welcome, the depth of affection, the softly joyous emotion, made Orinakin tighten his arms around his brother the pharaoh and close his eyes and simply breathe in Kudorin’s love.
