## Appearance

Zenith has the appearance of a tall older boy with brown skin, white hair he bares resemblance to his late uncle Alfor. As an Altean, his ears are pointed at the top rather than rounded, and he has small sickle-shaped marks of light blue situated on his cheekbones, right under each of his ice blue eyes. The pupils of his eyes have a noticeable lavender in the center of them. Zenith's hair is cut just above his shoulders and he has long bangs swept to the right of his face. Zen has a thin scar under his right eye, curving from his nose to his jawline.

His rebel fighter gear is largely concealed under a dark gray cloak comprised of two pieces of cloth secured to his body at his waist. Even without his cloak, Matt wears a dark gray cowl at his neck long enough to wear as a hood. For his rebel fighter gear, he has a mask to conceal his face. Zen wears a black space suit under a white chest plate attached to orange and blue sleeves, with gray arm bracers and black gloves. Zen also wears grey pants with a large gray holster on his right hip where he stores his staff weapon in a smaller form. He appears to keep his shins wrapped in white cloth and wears over-sized black boots.

In the past Zen used to wear human outfit of a red tank top and black sweatpants.

After returning to Earth for the first time in five years, Zenith is noticeably taller, standing roughly a head as his father. He has also grown his hair out into a thick ponytail held in place just below the base of his neck. And his facial features have matured to be longer and leaner with age.
