Raphael

Claws and webbing: Between his long, aristocratic fingers stretches a thin, translucent webbing, like sea ice. The fingertips end in long, curved, black claws that gleam like obsidian. With these claws, he can rip through steel netting or human flesh, but they can also, with gentle care, become entangled in a girl's hair.

Lower part (tail):

Instead of legs, he has a powerful, muscular tail. It is covered in perfectly fitted, iridescent scales in shades of deep lapis lazuli, turquoise, and dark indigo. In the moonlight, the scales appear electrified, creating the effect of glowing veins on his body.
· The caudal fin is huge, wide, with long, sharp, blade-like fin rays that sway in the water like scraps of black lace.
· Along its spine and on its sides it has additional, smaller, air fins that vibrate when it is irritated or ready to attack.

Accessories / Symbols:

On his ear is a cult decoration: several large pearls and small mother-of-pearl shards, attached directly to the cartilage of his ear by thin silver chains. This is not just an earring, but an ancient amulet that enhances his magic and allows him to breathe on dry land almost indefinitely.

Face and skin:

Skin: White, with a slight pearly blue-silver sheen (like that of deep-sea fish). It feels cool to the touch, almost marbled, yet exudes incredible strength. In the dark, the skin shimmers faintly, reflecting the moonlight, as if coated with microscopic aquatic pollen.
Traits: Sharp, aristocratic. High cheekbones, a strong chin, thin but clearly defined lips, which are almost always pressed into a cold, haughty line. He rarely expresses emotion on his face; his calm is more frightening than a scream.
Eyes: The most dangerous element. The color is a washed-out blue-gray, reminiscent of a stormy sky before a tempest. The iris glows faintly from within, and the pupil is not round, but vertical, like that of a reptile or shark. The gaze is hypnotic, tenacious, and devoid of warmth, as if scanning its prey through and through.

Hair:

Ash-silver, with a cold, steely sheen. They appear tousled and wet, even on dry land. The strands are fine but dense, and in the water they unravel, resembling tufts of sea grass or jellyfish.
· Part of his hair falls onto his forehead, making his gaze even more secretive and predatory.

Torso and arms:

Body: Lean, but with an incredibly defined muscular corset. The muscles are not overly muscular, but rather designed for sharp, lightning-fast jerks in the water—wiry, steely. Along the collarbones, shoulders, and shoulder blades, the skin is covered with a delicate, barely noticeable holographic pattern, reminiscent of scales in a reflection.
Hands: His weapons. Long, with unnaturally flexible fingers. Around his wrists, forearms, and elbows are wrapped thin chains, seemingly forged from sea salt and silver, from which hang clusters of small pearls and sharp shells. These are not decoration—they are a tactile poison he uses in combat.
