Val's Design 2

Val’s horns are 7-8 inches long, but as many as three inches can be hidden under the floof. 1.5-2 inches in diameter, 3-4 inches apart, 2-3 inches away from his ears. Ice blue eyes, black sclera, most teeth pointier than a human’s but top definitely larger fangs. Horns kind of jagged icicle, not perfectly symmetrical in jaggedness but position, general diameter, and length are the same. (Also dark, not light in color, but the luster is opaque ice.)

The wings and tail are glowy electric teal. For necklaces he has a silver pentacle (ups Shakti) and an animal skull. One of his outfits, specifically his winter one, is a snow-inspired one, with a pearlescent goth-type trenchcoat and silver buckles. (He has an outfit for every holiday event.) He also does absolutely have a few hats, but they’re hard to wear since he has to pull them over his horns. Hoods are easier.

Val very nearly had an eyepatch, except that’s not an option for Akuma. Xander really thought the eyepatch looked cool but he really wanted those stats. Now he’s grateful, because he would’ve missed that eye. (Strictly speaking Akuma can encounter that kind of damage, but it does heal back over time, unlike for, say, humans.) Similarly Jesse wanted to go cyborg but that wasn’t a possibility for him either. And he wanted to be an Akuma like Xander.

Val is pretty proud of himself he hasn’t gone cyborg and is still using all wearables. Of course, with the Psion ‘bend tech’ stuff he kind of substitutes that for any actual tech skill checks, so he might be slightly cheating on that front.

Val wears bracelets and cuffs too. He has an ouroboros dragon bracelet. Possibly a tassel earring. Originally that, too, was for the stats, but he actually likes it. Once he started not showing the rings, he also went asymmetrical with the ones he shows, too. Most people just wear all possible jewelry and cosmetically don’t display it (and don’t even think about it). He’s weird that he’s not.

He has also learned to mimic a Shadow Scream using his Psion powers, and it’s kind of become his signature move. It takes a lot of energy but projecting that into a room full of enemies is devastating.
