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?
