So we've been out on the road all day and then we spent some time at my mom's house so I couldn't upload these till now. I did this a year ago but I wanted to redo this better.
Jela's eyes and how and why they change.
This is how his eyes normally look, no matter if he's happy, annoyed, sad or even pretty pissed off. This is just normal state in human form.
Seeing this pretty much means shit just got real. He's beyond pissed off. Listen, this man is the most chilled person you could ever hope to come across, it takes EFFORT to get him angry and it takes a special kind of EFFORT to get him so angry that his eyes turn into this. He isn't just gonna kill you, he's gonna make you suffer through it and make sure you die slow.
Having said that, his eyes also change to this when he's trying to intimidate someone or something. They'll also change to this state when he summons his weapon or when using any arcane abilities. That doesn't mean he's pissed off, it just happens. For non-divine it happens because magic can and will take its toll on the body and sometimes some magic can force certain physical traits to "surface" without the person being able to control it.
However, Jelani is divine so he should have complete control over it. Truth is it's a sub-conscious action. Remember, he's had that identity crisis his entire life and since berserkers's eyes faintly glow when they conjure up their weapons and/or armor he took that observation and sub-consciously makes his eyes change to that. So when he summons his weapon or uses any arcane abilities his eyes will change to that.
They also turn that way when he's injured or in some type of survival mode. Obviously he can't just go around with his eyes like this everywhere but he for the most part he can't exactly control it until he's conscious of it and even then he's got bigger shit to worry about.
*The iris is supposed to glow faintly but I got lazy so just pretend.
((This is actually my favorite look to him because it legitimately scares the fuck out of me/creeps me the fuck out. Dude, if I managed to piss off some 6'6", 237 pound eldritch deity and he's staring at me with THOSE eyes I'd piss out all of my organs. I don't like looking at 'em too long 'cause I have a far too vivid imagination and they creep me out severely but I can't help but love 'em at the same time.))
This is incredibly rare to witness. In fact, his eyes have only ever changed to this, while in human form, only three times in his entire life.
Fighting off the horde or raiders that killed his grandfather.
Fighting and killing Iain.
When fully infected by the Halo virus.
This happens when he's reached a point of no return or more like he doesn't fucking care anymore and to say that's the equivalent of DEFCON 1 is the understatement of the millennium.
*There is a caveat though. His eyes changing to this while he's in HUMAN form is cataclysmic and all around not a good thing. However, this is how his eyes normally look while in divine form so it doesn't mean anything is wrong while in divine form. Human form though...eh, that's fucking bad.
When he got infected with the Halo virus he went through all the symptoms but the one that left a permanent mark was the ocular trauma that affected his right pupil.
Basically his right pupil internally burst. It's only noticeable while his eyes are in that state while in human form or while in divine form. I gotta do some more research into how that would affect his vision in that eye while in divine form. The Halo virus targeted deities so obviously while in human form it wouldn't show unless his eyes change to these two examples.
