Appearance:
Exos is a lofty man, lithe and stout in his stature, he is a sportsman that competes for contentment. Graced in the pulchritude of Aphrodite, Exos has a chiselled face structure; deep-set, hefty and half-lidded eyes, full, kissable lips and thickset eyebrows that curve perfectly over his onerous irises. And bearing that wrongly tantalizing stare, his iris is the hue of sombre carmine so indistinct that it harmonizes with the hues of his kempt, primed cascading waves of hair, corresponding to the intricate equivocalness he renders within his stare alone. But he also neatly coheres his grisly atmosphere with his attire, he sports a melanoid tunic that airs his rough-hewn chest and trousers that are abetted with a leather belt which exhibits a chimera emblem at the front. He wears polished, black boots and a wyvern-flesh mantle that settles atop his broad shoulders and cascades down to his boot soles. And at the awning of his cranium, rests a celestial crown forged from obsidian and silver — its gemstone-embellished pattern mimicking the spheres in the nightly welkin.

Type: The Provocateur [ESTP]
Personality: Manipulative, Egoistic, Competitive, Impulsive, Stubborn, Charismatic, Arrogant, Sarcastic, Confident.
He's a man who emits monarchical conceit just by how he carries his existence through the expanse. He is a man who bides in impudence and oppression, accompanied by his wondrous eloquence and pizazz. He's as artful as a spider spinning its web, here and there, astute and discreet in his foothold and as clear as mud to understand. He makes any sheer mission into a gruelling battle, coaxing strain and bafflement for those who eye or endeavour to assist. He's his own governor and the one who mandates heed from earthborns and gods of a lower echelon. After all, he's not a fan of innocence and subservience.
