Detailed Appearance

Deep red hair long enough to reach his shoulders. The shade is close to a dark wine red, tied back in a low ponytail. His bangs are long, flowing so that parts of them brush against his eyes in a natural, slightly unkempt way.

His eyes are sharp and almond-shaped. His pupils are pitch black without highlights, making it difficult to read his emotions.

There is a single sword scar on his left cheek. Though the wound is old, it hasn't faded completely; as the only prominent mark on his handsome face, it hints at his past and the battles he has fought.

Knight Attire

On the battlefield or during palace guard duty, he wears heavy-duty knight's gear based in black and dark red, emphasizing practicality.

He wears a fitted black doublet on his upper body, with metal armor such as breastplates and pauldrons equipped over it. The armor is not mirror-bright but unified in dark metals like black iron or smoked steel, featuring antique metal decorations in places. Crests or emblems reminiscent of his house or knightly order are engraved on the chest and shoulders.

A wide leather belt is wrapped around his waist, holding a longsword for actual combat. The scabbard is black leather with modest metal accents. The belt also holds small leather pouches, organized for ease of movement in battle.

His lower body consists of slim black trousers and sturdy leather boots covering up to the shins. Simple guards are attached to the knees and shins, prioritizing mobility and defense over flashiness.

Over this, he wears a dark bordeaux half-cloak or long cloak. The outer fabric is a crimson close to black, while the lining is a deeper blood red. Metal brooches symbolizing his order or house are used as shoulder fasteners.

Overall, there are few decorations; it gives the impression of a knight's uniform for actual combat rather than for show. The black iron, black leather, and deep crimson fabric create a heavy, intimidating presence.

Ball Attire

For palace balls, he removes his knightly equipment and wears a knight's uniform tailored as noble formal wear.

The centerpiece is a deep bordeaux long coat that reflects light dully. It is a dark red reminiscent of aged wine or dried blood, tailored slim and reaching near the knees.

Under the coat, he wears a pitch-black doublet. The matte black fabric has fine damask or arabesque patterns woven in, visible only when the light hits them. Small black-iron buttons line the front from chest to waist, sharpening his silhouette.

He pairs this with a white high-collared shirt, from which a soft white cloth tied thinly as a neckpiece peeks out. By keeping it simple and elegant rather than a flashy cravat, the white stands out vividly against the black and crimson.

The coat's collar, shoulders, cuffs, and hem feature embroidery in black thread and antique gold. The gold is not the gaudy shine of new metal, but a weathered antique gold. The decorations are fine but modest in quantity, their intricacy only apparent upon close inspection.

At his waist, he wears a slender ceremonial sword rather than a combat blade. With a black leather scabbard and an antique gold guard, it serves more as an ornament of status than a weapon.

From his shoulders, he drapes a pitch-black long cloak. The exterior is almost entirely black, but the lining uses a deep bordeaux. It is designed so the red is only fully visible when he walks or turns.

His footwear consists of low-sheen black leather boots.
