death's marking touch.

independent, fandomless multimuse blog based on history and horror. a study in accepting death, only for it to be torn from your grasp because your duty isn’t over, of being chosen for something divine you yourself hardly believe in. in being plunged into the worst horrors your mind can imagine, of betrayal and lonliness, of having your beliefs shattered. a tale of hoping yourself to be holy and then turning into a vicious beast. in devotion and healing and bringing those who cannot move on peace and balance, of fertilizing the grounds of the earth with blood. and in the artistic side of the grotesque, of shedding your old skin and clinging to the new self you have become.

what they look like : his golden-blond curly hair stands out the most. It is fluffy but tamed, making sure that it and therefore he looks put-together. He is also quite pale but you would have to study him carefully to be alarmed by this. Outfit-wise, Alfred generally wears white, grey and beige a lot, still carrying some of his Victorian style. He also likes to wear golden rings but takes off any jewelry when he is working.

what they smell like : clay, mainly, but also paint, a bit of smoke and the faint metallic notes of blood. Though when he leaves his studio, he also likes to apply some kind of fresh, green perfume and therefore often smells of lotus, green tea or fig. His clothes are also always clean, so he most likely smells of detergent.

what they taste like: there is always the lingering taste of blood because that is pretty much the only thing in his system and something he needs to drink often to survive. He also sometimes smokes a pipe but the taste vanishes quickly afterwards. Back when he was still human, he would also taste of fruit pastries.

what they sound like: he has a very pleasant light voice because he arranged his own vocal cords to his liking, which also means that he is a good singer. He has a soft Bavarian accent when he speaks and tries to sound as polite as possible, never feeling a need to raise his voice or sound brash.

what they feel like: generally he feels very cold to the touch considering his body does not produce warmth. His hands are also oddly smooth, even though he spends a lot of time working with them. But if he ends up touching someone, they are hit by this subtle and yet bizarre feeling, almost as if their bones shy away from his grasp.
