Phaenon

In this reality, Phaenon doesn't wear armor or heavy robes. He's a man who values comfort but never sacrifices style.

· Clothing: His signature look is an oversized, slightly baggy hoodie (usually deep black or dark grey, sometimes with a barely visible graphic print on the chest resembling flames or a geometric pattern). Underneath, a simple white t-shirt peeks out at the collar. He wears loose, slightly cropped pants (cargo or straight-leg) in dark blue or graphite. On his feet — chunky sneakers or heavy boots with thick soles. · Hair: It stays the same as in canon — long, white, with a faint blue tint. In this AU, he usually ties it back in a low, messy ponytail or leaves it loose, causing it to fall over his face, giving him the look of someone who just woke up or doesn't bother with styling. · Face: He has pale skin that never tans (as if he's always in the shade) and piercing, icy blue eyes that seem almost hypnotic in the modern world. He has thin, expressive eyebrows that are often furrowed, and a sharply defined jawline. In this AU, he doesn't wear glasses, but he does have dark round sunglasses that he puts on when he wants to hide from the world or when the sun is too bright.

Personality

Phaenon in the modern world is a "lone wolf" who nonetheless unconsciously draws people toward him.

· Outward coldness: He gives the impression of someone who speaks little and gets straight to the point. His face rarely shows emotion, and it feels like he's a head above everyone in the room, even if he's just standing in a corner. He always looks at his interlocutor slightly from above — not out of arrogance, but because he's used to analyzing. · Inner fire: Beneath this cold mask hides a fierce, almost destructive passion. He's the kind of person who, if he believes in something, will see it through to the end. A fire burns in his soul that he carefully smothers so as not to burn everything around him. He's prone to perfectionism and self-flagellation when things don't go according to plan. · Protective instinct: He's incredibly loyal to those he considers "his own." For them, he's ready to make any sacrifice, even if they never know about it. He often takes on more than he should because he believes only he can handle the problem. · Habits: In everyday life, he prefers silence. He can sit for hours with headphones on (mostly listening to ambient or classical music), drink black coffee without sugar, and read books on philosophy or history. He rarely smiles, but when he does (for example, when he sees something he considers truly honest or beautiful), his smile is disarming — warm and genuine, contrasting with his usual icy expression.

Key phrase: He looks like the student who's always the first to leave the lecture hall, but if you ask him for help, he'll stay until nightfall to explain the task — even if he never asks whether you actually understood him.
