Destiny Study - Human!Rasputin Attires

“He can be very charming,” the submind assures her. Malahayati works with Chen Lanshu, and she is certainly charming, but this is Rasputin’s territory, Rasputin the tacit king, the brooding wary first-among-equals.

Yesterday Lanshu spoke to a colony ship AI and it called Rasputin ‘the Tyrant.’ Not without affection. And certainly not without respect.

“He can charm me in person,” Lanshu suggests.

“He’s very private, lately.”

“Then he can sulk.”

Welp, just tossed down some appearance suggestions on the High Technician, feeling quite satisfied with all of them x)

The first is his usual attire to show off his strong link with the Warmind, the second is likely a suit in more formal meetings, as in the Covens with the other Technicians/Seraphs.

The last one is meant only to be a symbolic one, or like a “Last Fight”-themed attire just for fun and to contrast the appearance of SIVA. It shows some symbologies, the six golden wings embroidered on the back of the dress linked with the Seraphs, it is inspired by Russian traditional clothes for males, the “chains” are a recall to a philosopher, in which one of their summary say “As free as a King chained on their throne” - right now I don’t recall it clearly damnit - and I found it quite fitting for him!

That walking stick is likely a “sidearm” of his when he doesn’t have in his hands DVALINS or his Sleeper Simulant x)

And hey, who knew he was able to catch hearts? xD
