Appearance:

Rhei’s style can only be described as ‘eccentric’ or ‘not entirely there’. He is, if nothing else, entirely unique, odd, and downright strange at times. Short and slight, he does not attract attention in a crowd, instead blending in with his surroundings if he is dressed averagely.

More often than not, he is found wearing a pair of black plastic framed ‘nerd glasses’ that are actually quite stylish. If he is not in possession of these, he wears bright green contacts that appear to make his eyes fluoresce a very vibrant teal, which more often than not catches a lot of attention. He is quite blind without either of these and dislikes having either removed unless it is absolutely necessary. If they are, however, he generally bumbles around blinding for a while before either A. finding one of the above, or B. giving up and just going to sleep if he is near somewhere with a semi-comfortable surface.

It is not uncommon to see him wandering around in period dress one day, then back to normal attire the next. Sometimes it is costume dress, others, suits and dress slacks, either way it doesn’t matter. His style is uniquely his own, even if it seems to be a bit off. Printed shirts, hoodies, and ripped up jeans are generally his go to, and it is more common than not that any of the above, especially the pants, are covered in paint, ink, and any assortment of debris or dust from his workplace. In fact, it is almost impossible to find times during the day where he is not splattered with any of the above, if only because his job does not lend itself well to staying pristine during the day.

The meaning of ‘dress clothes’ is entirely lost on Rhei. To him, dressing up entails ‘any clothes that do not have paint on them or large rips’. His job does not lend itself to haute couture at all, and while he does know how to fancy himself up, he generally prefers not to unless it is something along the lines of a matter of life and death. He shuns all sorts of new wave clothes and things that aren’t practical or useful, and generally just prefers casual dress, even if he tends to wear things that are a bit on the eccentric side.

Rhei will be the first to admit that he’s not entirely sure what color his hair is actually supposed to be. Having dyed it for over half of his life, he can only remember that it was very blond as a child, and assumes that that is what he is supposed to be naturally. However, he cannot be quite sure, especially because it seems to have grown out a light brown now, which he is content with for the time being.
