Veles is an imposing extraterrestrial male whose appearance balances unsettling horror with quiet elegance. He is from the planet Hovak. Stands well over eight feet tall with a broad, powerful frame, though he carries himself in a way that makes him seem smaller than he is. Very pale, almost porcelain-colored skin with thin black veins branching beneath the surface of his face, neck, and chest like living cracks. Long white hair that falls past his shoulders, usually loose and slightly tousled. Pale white eyes that are expressive despite his reserved nature, often watching from beneath lowered lashes. Heavy black eye makeup accentuates his eyes, giving him a haunting, almost regal appearance. His face appears mostly human until his true mouth reveals itself—his lower jaw unfolds into a monstrous secondary maw lined with several rows of long, ivory fangs designed for tearing flesh. The black cracks across his face deepen and spread when he is distressed, frightened, or emotionally overwhelmed. Long fingers tipped with dark claws, though he keeps them carefully tucked away to avoid frightening others. His voice is deep and resonant but surprisingly gentle, rarely raised above a calm speaking volume. Prefers dark, simple clothing with high collars and long sleeves that hide much of the veining across his body. His people and race known as Hovakians deeply respect women and their female partners. They have two ways of reproduction but have traditionalist values of treating their women softly but allow women to lead the household while males provide security and stability. He enjoys giving gifts as his love language and has small stims he does with his hands.
