THE UNDERGROUND PRINCE

Let’s descend further into myth—this time, toward elegance, ego, and a kingdom of shadows ruled not by terror… but by charm.

CHARACTER BLUEPRINT: THE UNDERWORLD PRINCE

Codename: LUX

“Hell has velvet floors. And I walk them barefoot.”

ARCHETYPE & ESSENCE

• Role: Suave ruler of the underworld’s glamour district; broker of forbidden deals, keeper of ancient beauty

• Vibe: Devilishly charming, gender-fluid by choice, sensual, immortal-but-bored

• Realm: The Velvet Veins — a dark, opulent underground where spirits dine, deals are inked in gold, and love is currency

VISUAL DESIGN

• Clothing:

• Black velvet coat with blood-red silk lining, draped off the shoulders

• Chest adorned with layered chains—some carry names instead of gems

• High boots with silver soles that never leave a trace

• Silk gloves with exposed fingers for touch-based magic

• Horn-like jewelry pieces disguised as accessories

• Hair & Face:

• Silken dark hair, half-tied or slicked back

• Skin smooth and pale as porcelain or ink-rich depending on the region of power

• Eyes: golden irises with vertical slits that shimmer when lying or seducing

• Smile: devastating

• Voice: molten velvet with a faint echo, like you’re hearing it in dreams

POWERS & ABILITIES

Glamourcraft

• Can charm, seduce, deceive, or protect through words alone

• Each sentence has layered meaning—some cause memory loss, others implant desires

• The more elegant the phrase, the more dangerous its effect

Contract Binding

• Signs pacts using gold ink from his own blood

• Can trap spirits, curses, or memories inside jewelry and relics

• Also has the ability to break contracts—but only with a steep price

Shadow Waltz

• A combat style that fuses dance with illusion

• Steps create mirages, blade trails, and memory confusion

• Can dodge an attack before it’s thrown—by reading the rhythm of your soul

Cursed Love

• Those who fall for him become stronger… and doomed to obsession

• He mourns each one privately but never stops

• Claims he doesn’t believe in love. He’s lying.

BACKSTORY

Born of a mortal poet and a goddess of vanity, Lux was traded to the underworld as collateral for a broken prophecy.

Instead of rage, he chose opulence. Instead of escape, he built a throne.

He rules the forgotten—the discarded gods, exiled lovers, cursed kings.

He throws parties for ghosts, dances with fallen stars, and never makes the same mistake twice—except in love.

PERSONALITY

• Regal, unbothered, flirtatious

• Values etiquette more than morality

• Genuinely kind to the broken, but always with terms

• Enjoys games of power, poetry, wine, and storytelling

• Will help heroes—but only if it makes the ending more beautiful

SYMBOLS & STYLE

• Colors: Jet black, oxblood, gold foil, ghost white

• Symbols: Gold key, cracked heart, mirror with no reflection, golden moth

• Scents: Spiced rose, aged ink, sandalwood smoke

• Texture Palette: Silk, velvet, hot metal, crushed flowers

ALLIES & ENEMIES

• The Bone Healer — they share whispers over wine

• Vireya (Siren) — once sang for him in silence, once cursed him in fury

• The Rook — wants his kingdom, but fears his kiss

• Enemies: Those who fear beauty, vulnerability, or see love as weakness

QUOTES & STYLE OF SPEECH

“Darling, never trust a man who blushes when offered power.”

“Some people collect weapons. I collect regrets.”

“You’re not mine. But I do adore breaking the rules for you.”

“Love is a blade. So hold me like you mean it.”

Would you like to see Lux seated on his obsidian throne, surrounded by mirrors and moths, raising a glass to ghosts—or catching a dagger mid-dance with that smile that knows everything?
