Nikita Berg and David Romensky

Nikita Berg - The Empty Man

Appearance:
After the ritual, Nikita resembled a myth, reminiscent of the Empty Man. His human form had almost completely disappeared: his skin had become very pale, his face had acquired unnaturally smooth features, and his eyes were significantly darker than usual. His figure became elongated and slightly disproportionate, making him resemble a tall man who moves too smoothly and silently from a distance. His hair remained dark blond, but now appeared more disheveled. He wore dark clothing, similar to what he wore as a human. While using his powers, slight image distortion or a dark haze may appear around him. Despite his frightening appearance, Berg is still recognizable to David—especially by his voice, manner of speech, and irritated reactions to his antics.

Character:
After his transformation, Berg became noticeably more withdrawn and cautious. Since myths can't leave the forest, he spends most of his time wandering among the trees, hoping to encounter someone alive. He misses people and his old life, though he rarely admits it directly. Berg is accustomed to being constantly on guard: any rustle or unexpected touch causes him to react instantly, as his own abilities can now trigger before he has time to think. This is why David's appearance from behind almost always ends with an irritated remark. Despite his seriousness, Berg has retained his sarcastic nature and old sense of humor. With David, he allows himself to be much more relaxed and emotional than with other myths. They both understand that each other remains the last link to their former human lives.

David Romensky - fallen angel

Appearance:
In this AU, David appears as a fallen angel who retains recognizable features of his human form. He has light, slightly tousled hair, brown eyes, and distinctive yellow glasses, which somehow remained with him even after his transformation. He wears a light T-shirt, dark pants, and white shoes, though his clothes now look a little worn and tattered in places after his long stay in the forest. Large, dark wings extend from his back—the feathers gradually fade from gray to almost black at the tips. Some of them appear damaged or uneven, as if the transformation hadn't happened quite correctly. A dim, fractured halo occasionally appears above his head, shimmering when David uses his abilities. Despite his angelic nature, his appearance is not at all bright or divine—instead, it is mysterious and slightly eerie. However, he is still easily recognizable as the original David.

Character:
After his transformation, David retained virtually his former personality. He remained sociable, lively, and rather sarcastic, enjoying teasing Berg. He especially enjoys appearing unexpectedly or quietly approaching him from behind, knowing full well that Berg reacts sharply to touch. David doesn't intentionally harm him, however, but rather uses this as an old habit of playing pranks on his friend. In dangerous situations, he becomes more serious and uses his fallen angel abilities to protect himself and Berg. He dislikes showing fear or worry, often covering them up with jokes. The loss of human life still troubles him, especially since they can no longer leave the forest. Despite this, David tries to maintain the old atmosphere between them, as if their life is still almost normal.
