Vixus
MinorVixus is a tall young man of athletic build with fair skin and sharp features typical of the elite Golds in this harsh futuristic society. His face is distinctly hawkish, handsome when in repose but quick to twist into a cruel sneer as his lips peel back, revealing his sadistic nature. His eyes are dead and black like those of a raven, conveying a chilling psychotic intensity as he takes pleasure in domination and violence.
Vixus enters the Red Rising Saga as a quintessential sadistic Gold, his hawkish features and dead black eyes marking him as a predator reveling in domination during the brutal trials of the Institute. By Golden Son, he embodies the Society's treacherous deceptions, infiltrating as a disguised Pink servant before shedding his fleshMask to join Lilath in cruel triumph. His arc concludes violently in Morning Star, where his lean frame and jackal-skull insignia make him a fleeting symbol of Gold arrogance, felled by the Reaper's blade in a savage clash that underscores the rebellion's rising fury.
Physical Description
Vixus is a tall young man of athletic build with fair skin and sharp features typical of the elite Golds in this harsh futuristic society. His face is distinctly hawkish, handsome when in repose but quick to twist into a cruel sneer as his lips peel back, revealing his sadistic nature. His eyes are dead and black like those of a raven, conveying a chilling psychotic intensity as he takes pleasure in domination and violence. Vixus appears as a short, slender man in his 20s, standing around 5'4" with a petite, wiry build that belies his true Gold heritage, his skin pale and smooth under a synthetic fleshMask mimicking a Pink's softer complexion. His face is sharply angular with high cheekbones, thin lips often curled in a haughty smirk, and piercing amber eyes that flash with ruthless intelligence. Golden hair, once concealed, spills free in tousled shoulder-length waves, gleaming like polished metal. He wears the sleek, form-fitting bodysuit of a Pink server—shimmering fabric hugging his frame, accented by a delicate choker and practical boots—moving with an elegant, predatory grace that shatters any pretense of subservience. A subtle electronic sheen lingers at the edges of his peeled-back mask, marking his deceptive artifice. Vixus is a lean, muscular Gold man in his 30s with no body fat, his golden skin stretched taut over rippling muscles and veins that snake like cords across his neck and arms. His angular face features thin lips often curled in disdain, sharp predatory eyes, and a close-cropped head. He wears heavy boots, a jacket with rustling collar adorned by a jackal skull lapel pin, and carries a razor, his presence coiled with aristocratic menace.
