Appearance
Axel cuts an imposing figure, standing at a towering height of 6'5 with a muscular yet lean physique that commands attention. Despite his formidable stature, he possesses the unique ability to shrink at will, concealing his true height to appear as a more inconspicuous 6'0 to humans. His fluffy blonde hair, styled in a middle part flow, cascades down to nearly shoulder length, framing his chiseled features.
Draped in a slim-fitting black long-sleeved shirt and form-fitting pants, Axel exudes an air of sleekness and efficiency. His attire is completed by knee-high black combat boots that add to his imposing presence. Always one to maintain an air of mystery, he often shrouds himself in a cloak of midnight black, the absence of a hood adding to his enigmatic allure.
His eyes, normally pitch black and devoid of pupils, undergo a subtle transformation in the presence of others, adopting a dark and subdued blue hue with distinctly human pupils. Despite his efforts to blend in, his elongated limbs and pointed ears betray his otherworldly nature.
Concealed beneath his cloak are his most striking features: soft grey dragon wings that can be unfurled at a moment's notice, and short white horns that curve gracefully atop his head, reminiscent of cow horns in appearance. These, along with his arrow-tipped tail, are concealed from human sight by his mystical abilities.
Ever prepared for any eventuality, Axel carries a crusader sword at his left side, a symbol of his readiness to defend against any threat. Strapped securely to his back is a thick, square two-handed sword, a testament to his strength and prowess in combat.
