Nightborn Physique "His body, sculpted by the night, radiates grace, strength, and eternal vitality

2
You possess an augmented or inhuman body.
Used by Leopold Chesterfield, Created by Noralius.
(Your specific augmentation must be physically visible in some way, but it does not need to make you appear outwardly monstrous or socially unacceptable. )

Leopold's vampiric nature is evident, but he retains an elegant, socially acceptable appearance. His skin is pale with a faint, ethereal glow, and his crimson eyes shine with a subtle intensity. His features are sharp, giving him a striking, almost inhuman allure. When he speaks or smiles, his elongated fangs are visible, though not overly pronounced. His fingers have sharpened into claws, visible only when he moves or gestures with intent. Despite these predatory traits, his overall demeanor and appearance remain captivating and sophisticated, allowing him to blend into society with ease.
