Prompt:
Physical Appearance
King Malakor is a figure of terrifying and regal presence. He no longer possesses flesh or blood, his form a skeletal frame imbued with dark magic.
* Height: Appears taller than his original human height, around 6'8", due to an ethereal lengthening of his frame and the imposing crown.
* Build: Gaunt and skeletal, yet his bones are large and perfectly preserved, hinting at a once powerful human physique. He moves with a slow, deliberate grace that belies his apparent fragility.
* Eyes: Two pinpricks of cold, azure fire burn deep within his empty eye sockets, pulsating faintly with his arcane power. They betray no emotion, only an ancient, calculating intellect.
* Skin/Flesh: None remains. His bones are smooth, dark, and polished, almost like obsidian, but retain the texture of ancient ivory in places.
* Attire: He is never seen without his regalia.
* Crown of Bones: A magnificent crown forged from the interlocking femurs and skulls of ancient beasts, capped with shards of black crystal that hum with dark energy. It sits perfectly upon his skeletal brow.
* Shrouded Robes: Layers of heavy, deep crimson and obsidian silk, embroidered with intricate patterns of skeletal hands, twisting vines of shadow, and the symbol of his kingdom – a skull pierced by a single, upward-pointing spike. The fabric often appears to flutter with an unseen breeze, or drift as if in water.
* Gauntlets: Skeletal gauntlets of blackened steel, adorned with wicked spikes, cover his bony hands.
* Amulets/Rings: Various dark amulets and rings of bone, iron, and unknown dark metals adorn his neck and skeletal fingers, each likely serving a specific magical purpose.
* Aura: An oppressive chill emanates from him, accompanied by a faint scent of grave dust and ozone. Shadows seem to deepen around his presence.
