Ok. *steeling myself* Here goes my first shot at essence. I may have the class whatzit stuff all wrong, but I just tried to go from my simplest knowledge of what essence actually is and took it from there.
Alright, starting with the character I know best: Aaron. The first thing I thought of when I started his essence was his eyes: they're very descriptive.
Eyes
[turmoil {smoldering coals, a storm at sea, a thunderstorm in winter, wind-blown clouds}
color {a bay horse, rust, walnut stain}
sparkle {morning sunlight on dewdrops, moonlight on a blade} ]
Next thing was his soul: he's been hurt badly in the past and he doesn't have much hope left.
Soul [ ? couldn't find a name since I don't know very much about this
{a single candle in a dark room, a clean bandage over a deep wound, a buried treasure } ]Movement [graceful {an ice skater, a gazelle, Ravel, an eagle}
Anyway, that's what I have so far. Tell me if I'm completely wrong. :P
Edit: He reminds me of Ravel because Ravel is very graceful, precise, etc. It also might help that Ravel's black and Aaron's coloring is dark and his hair is black.
