**Barber** is a B-Tier Costume for The Ripper, Jack. It was introduced as part of Season 1 Essence 1 and it can today be obtained from Memory Spheres - Previous Seasons.

In the Chinese version of the game it was originally available during Beta Testing, and can today be purchased in the Illusion Hall at the same price of other older B-Tier costumes, as well as found in Memory Spheres.

## Appearance

### **Physical**

When equipped, Jack retains his pale skin tone and is shown with medium-length, messy dark brown hair. Two white pupils can be seen through the eye holes of his mask, and his left hand is noticeably the same size as his right one.

### **Outfit**

Jack's face is completely hidden by a white mask, with menacing dark eyes, an elongated shape, and blood splatters on its mouth and forehead. His hat and coat assume a purplish blue hue, and he wears a greenish and brown shirt underneath, decorated by skull-shaped buttons, a dark necktie, and an oversized white collar. On his shoulders lays a black leather belt, and on his hands are brown gloves. He sports purple pants with black stripes on his legs, and green pointed boots on his feet.

### **Weapon**

Jack's claws are replaced by a metal contraption strapped onto his left arm, encasing his wrist. On it, three old-fashioned razors are bolted, with stained blades and wooden handles.

## Trivia

* It was the first, and so far, only fan-made costume that was implemented into the game.
	+ NetEase had implemented the costume into the game before asking for the creator's (夹心-山楂) permission nor credit, and apologized profusely for the error. The costume was originally inspired by one of the freelance artists' sketches.
* Barber is also the only B-Tier costume in the game to change the appearance of the hunter's weapon, a quality usually reserved for A and S-Tier cosmetics.
* Both the appearance on its card and official artwork are inconsistent with how Barber looks in-game. The mask is completely different, appearing severely damaged, much smaller and with differently shaped eye and mouth holes, while the dress and top hat sport some additional decorations and lack the pair of scissors in his pocket.
	+ Curiously, the Chinese version of the game shows a slightly different artwork on the costume's card, displaying the same mask seen on the model.
	+ Despite having unique clothing on all versions in the concept designs and reusing the mask from the normal and abnormal versions, the in-game clothing including the hat reuses his Original appearance but modified to fit the coloring.
* The bladed contraption on Jack's left hand is glitched and will appear detached from his arm at certain positions. This is especially noticeable in his showroom appearance.
