Physical Description
Demoux is a lean young man barely into his early twenties, with a smaller build than the average fighter, his frame wiry and disciplined rather than bulky. He has short dark hair, sharp eyes that convey focus and occasional wonder, and a clean-shaven face with a firm jaw that hints at resolve. His typical attire includes a studded leather vest suited for combat, marked by an insignia on his shoulder, and he often carries a spear with a steady grip. A subtle blush sometimes colors his cheeks, adding to his earnest, youthful presence. Camouflaged elements in his clothing suggest readiness for stealthy maneuvers, his posture alert and quivering faintly with restrained energy. A fair-skinned young man in his twenties with short dark hair and a clean-shaven youthful face that appears earnest and often lights with excitement, Demoux looks younger than his actual age. He wears a meticulously neat and smart military uniform with obvious pride, his athletic build and disciplined stance reflecting his position as a dedicated captain of the palace guard. Standing alongside veteran soldiers, he projects sincerity and reliability through his animated expressions and upright bearing in the ash-covered capital of Luthadel. A young man barely older than the emperor who looks far more aged due to his balding scalp missing a large patch of hair on the left side from a koloss blade strike, a prominent scar on one cheek, and numerous additional scars marking his tanned face. His callused hands reflect years of soldiering while he wears well-used armor of leather and steel with a small silver spear necklace hanging visibly at his neck. The lingering pale cast from recent illness only adds to his grizzled veteran impression as he moves with the steady authority of a dedicated general.
