Ling Ling

Prior to becoming the new Nice, Lin Ling had dark brown hair and dark eyes with his complexion being darker than that of Nice, as well as his voice being higher than that of Nice. Since his face resembled Nice a lot, he was allowed to live and in turn, become the next Nice. Gaining the trust of his fans, his appearance and body would morph to further match that of Nice, making him effectively a one-to-one copy of Nice.

As Nice, Lin Ling is a slender, physically fit young man with coiffed white hair and powder-blue eyes. His hero costume consists of a pristine, form fitting white costume with elaborate gold accents that run down his chest, arms and legs, with a collar tightly fastened at the neck. He sports a white cape, as well as white boots, both featuring gold accents. A blue gemstone sits at the center of his chest and appears to act as a conduit for Trust. When needed, he is able to manifest gold wrist gauntlets to assist in melee combat.

After rejecting his identity as Nice, his hair changes back into a lighter brown color, but keeping a streak of white hair. As "The Commoner", he wears a black and white tracksuit, fingerless black gloves, and a white belt with a sun-like logo. During the 21st Heroes Tournament, Lin Ling's hero costume transforms into a white battlesuit with golden lining, slightly similar to Nice.

Symbol
Lin Ling's symbol is a circle with 6 slightly curved, triangular shapes emerging from the outline in clockwise direction, leaving a filled white space as a circle in the middle which appears similar to a sun.

Nice is a slender, physically fit and extremely handsome young man with coiffed white hair and powder-blue eyes. His hero costume consists of a pristine, form-fitting white costume with elaborate gold accents that ran down his chest, arms, and legs. He wears a collar tightly fastened around his neck as well as a white cape and boots which both feature gold accents. At the center of his chest sits a blue gemstone that appeared to act as a conduit for Trust. When needed, Nice is able to manifest gold wrist gauntlets to assist in melee combat.

Reappearance

Nice now has strange cracks across his entire body. One major crack stretching from the middle of his forehead, then splits into two branches toward the left side slightly above his chin and a few more minor cracks emerging alongside his face. His hero costume and presumably by extension, his body too beneath it, has a large crack running down the center that splits into several smaller ones across his entire left side. Although not clearly visible on his face, the cracks on his torso appear to have been filled with a purplish-black substance.

He did not smile or display any emotions of excitement or similar, maintaining a completely blank and steady expression.

In his updated appearance in the popularity poll, his smile appears slightly subdued. It may instead indicate that his smile has become more natural and less artificially exaggerated than before. His hair may also appear slightly less curly, which could make his overall presence feel less divine compared to his original look.

Yang Cheng is a young adult with short black hair and blue eyes. His regular attire consists of a white shirt underneath a blue hoodie with white stripes, tan cargo pants, and white shoes with blue soles. During his performances as E-Soul, he wears a blue and black skintight jumpsuit with a helmet that covers his face. This costume is more simplistic and less bulky than the real E-Soul's costume.

As E-Soul, his first hero outfit consists of a gold, black and blue armor. His helmet has an eye slit and a glowing blue spike, giving the whole suit a “retro” appearance. After the fight with the original E-Soul, he now wears a more streamlined armor, incorporating aspects derived from the latter. Because of the clash, he now wears a prosthesis in his right arm, just like the aforementioned predecessor.

By Year 39 AC, Yang Cheng has grown taller and more muscular. His costume is now more closer to the previous E-Soul in terms of design and the prothesis is no longer visible, although the overall keeps the same color scheme as his previous suit.

Ahu is a light brown dog with a pale tan underbelly, paws, and snout. He typically wears a black fedora and a pale pink tie.
