Hamlet

**Hamlet** is an A-Tier Costume for the Embalmer, Aesop Carl. It was introduced to the Illusion Hall on December 17th, 2020, due to Aesop being one of the 2020 Deduction Star winners.

## Appearance

### **Physical**

Aesop has short light blonde hair, tied back into a small ponytail with a black hair-tie. His eyes are now light blue with silver crosses as pupils. He appears slightly paler in this costume compared to his default costume, and has several visible cracks and scars on his skin.

### **Outfit**

Aesop wears a black doublet with ruffled white sleeves fastened with string also serving as a cloak, and is adorned with silver embroidery and small white pearls. A black belt, ornamented with gold crosses and embellishments is worn on his waist. A metallic, light blue sash is placed over his right shoulder. Aesop wears black stockings and thigh-high boots which are decorated with ornate gold designs. His left shoulder is obscured by a cream-colored shawl embroidered with golden crosses, tied with two tassels at its end. Around his neck he dons a neckpiece made up of large golden rings chained together with smaller rings, and a glowing orange opal ring is worn on his left ring finger.

### **Item**

#### Makeup Box

The Makeup Box is now a silver briefcase engraved with silver thorns and roses as well as a single cross design on each face.

#### Coffin

The Coffin is now made of stone, with a cross surrounded by rose vines engraved into its lid. The inside of the coffin is filled with cross-patterned tiles.

### **Special Effects**

Silver mist and white snow envelop and follow him as he moves.
