## Appearance

Raiden resembles his original self quite closely, with his human form resembling a middle aged man wearing a straw conical hat, white tunic with Chinese symbols within yellow ovals on his arms, and blue robes. His eyes are always depicted as glowing blue to represent his Godly abilities. He is often depicted with an amulet, and can summon a staff.

His darker form shares the same silhouette, but his eyes have changed to orange-red, and his face looks paler. his colour scheme has changed to a red, black and gold mixture, and he wears Shinnok's amulet instead.

After he becomes a mortal, Raiden's natural eye colour is revealed to be brown, and wears a simple white tunic.
