Epaulette

Epaulette is an All-Around contestant who first appeared on Season 2. He placed Runner-Up to Skeletina. He later appeared on All Stars 1, where he placed 4th.
==About-Epaulette==
Epaulette is named after the ornamental shoulder piece commonly found on items of clothing (usually military uniforms). 
His personal aesthetic takes inspiration from both his Black and Asian heritage. His style is formal, yet versatile as it can translate comfortably to different challenges, similar to how epaulets are seen on a wide variety of jackets and formalwear. In universe, his name is a nod to his background a discharged Marines cadet.
=== Season 2 ===
Epaulette had a polarizing run on Season 2, After placing High the first two weeks, he had a lull in the middle of the competition. His burlesque look was an especially bizarre take on the theme that many audience members still question to this day. His Red Carpet also underwhelmed the judges, and he teetered on the brink of elimination. However, he won the final two challenges of the season consecutively, cementing his spot in the Top 3.
Epaulette is a grizzly and stoic man, hardened his decade of service in the US Marines. He treated every challenge like a battle he had to win, and often took it hard on himself whenever he fumbled. The cast felt reluctant to get close to him, and this led to his eventual isolation. He didn’t let this strained relationship affect his game, however; it only made him work harder.
=== All Stars 1 ===
Epaulette, free from Skeletina’s shadow, was determined to win the season. His run was rather turbulent. He redeemed his Red Carpet challenge and earned a Top 2 placement early on. However, after week 1, he had a series of Bottom placements that threw his trajectory into a spiral (although some were circumstantial). Overall, he won 3 challenges, but ended up being outperformed in the penultimate challenge.
With All Stars’s group of naturally grumpy Contestants, he had more opportunities to form relations with like-minded people. He specifically bonded with Bobo and Miles. Both had rather dry personalities and didn’t come off as obnoxious, so they got along very well. He also got points with both Brandy and Sinyora for reprimanding Vanity on various occasions, making him comfortable with at least half of the cast. Although Sinyora sent him home, she admits it’s because she saw him as bigger competition, so there’s no bad blood between them.
==Aesthetic- All-Around==
Epaulette is an All-Around contestant. 
All-Around characters offer a diverse array of different looks, with no real preference towards any one aesthetic. All around characters can place well in all types of challenges, making them standouts. However, their lack of commitment to one style may be a hindrance, since they can’t pull of one style exceptionally well.
Epaulette prefers Streamlined silhouettes. He likes to blur the line between Lavish and Crafty.
