Perhaps in a mirror of Islamic prayer, he could pray to the stars every dusk they appear and every dawn they vanish from plain view. Choose certain castes, races, or even the female gender as unfit to directly meet your gaze (could be a social hurtle your character slowly learns to deal with, and it'll sure be interesting with your party members). You could even get a little Lovecraft with it, transcribe unearthed tomes and heiroglyphs in your own Necronomicon ala Abdul Alhazred.In terms of dress, you could opt for a thobe, sandals and some sort of head-wrap or headdress. A curved, ornate dagger tucked into a wide sash is pretty important to certain Arabic social circles. Mark his smell as hinted with cumin, saffron, and jasmine oil. Give him a partiality to certain Arabic cuisines, like strong, black coffee, and exotic tobaccos.Borrow characteristics from Nile crocodiles or desert asps when describing the finer details of your reptilian nature.When I played my dragonborn starlock, one of my most successful characters in my gaming career, the most endearing and sinister quality about him was the idea he did not observe normal social customs or taboos. There was a distinct separation from him, a reptile, and the rest of the mammalian party. Certain emotions did not register quite the same way, there was an inherent coldness in him. And his back story was rather brutal, and his stars more the aberrant overlord types, so he kind of used his assumed ignorance as a veil for jeering others and furthering his own schemes, though the party could never quite tell if his callous nature was borne from genuine ignorance or cruelty. Good times.I also had him peel the flesh of the strongest enemies' skulls and wear them on a towering headdress, brutal, primal, but oddly supported by the rest of the party, even the paladin, under the pretense it was one of his native customs and therefore should be respected hehe. Fun playing with that sort of polite observation, pushing it as far as it can go.</blockquote>
