**Faust** is an A-Tier Costume for Photographer, Joseph Desaulniers. It was introduced to the Illusion Hall on January 13th, 2022 due to Joseph being one of the winners of Deduction Star 2021.

## Appearance

### **Physical**

Joseph has defined eyebrows in this skin. His hair is brown, with short bangs and styled back with no visible ponytail.

### **Outfit**

He wears a black doublet and breeches, both accented with gold. A blue and black cape with a collar is worn over his shoulders. On his hands are white gloves with lace trim, and a ring is worn on his right pointer finger. Without a ponytail, there is no ribbon in his hair, but a black cap adorned with a red feather is worn on his head. The overall outfit resembles 16th century European fashion.

### **Object**

#### Weapon

His sword is now no longer curved, and resembles a fencing rapier.

#### Card

The card is made up of an ornate, deep blue metallic frame with golden details and small red flowers adoring it. Within the frame is a painting-style image of a blond-haired angel in a white robe, with a halo behind its head and its wings spread. The background is sky blue with small orbs of light scattered around. On the back is the opposing image of a demonic figure in a purple robe. It has black horns and a black cape with golden jewellery, with a red background instead of blue.

#### Camera

His camera is replaced with a bookstand which holds an open book with black and white illustrations on its pages.

### **Special Effects**

Black feathers trail after Joseph during matches, however they can only be seen when outside of the camera world.

## Trivia

* **Faust** is based off the actor Gösta Ekman as the titular protagonist of the 1926 silent film *Faust*, an adaptation of the play of the same name by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
* When first released, the background and effects of the costume's entrance and press animations as seen in the showcase video were not shown in-game.
