Apollo

**Apollo** is an A-Tier Costume for the Photographer, Joseph Desaulniers. It was introduced in Season 6 Essence 1.

## Appearance

### **Physical**

Joseph assumes a doll-like appearance; doll-joints are featured, particularly visible in his shoulders, elbows and knees. His mouth is mechanical, as seen from the thin line separating his upper jaw from his lower jaw. His sleek hair is blonde, his eyes glowing golden.

Upon exiting the camera world, patches of his hair, his right forearm and right leg are contoured in gold at the edges and charred. His eyes glow white.

### **Outfit**

A milky-white Greek ionic chiton covers his chest and drapes across his upper legs. The pleats of his chiton are highlighted bronze, as like the hems. The chiton is held together by a metal belt, presumably copper and a brown strap that runs from his left shoulder to the right of his hip.

A necklace made out of the same material as his belt adorns his chest, nine pendants hanging from it; assisting in pinning down the scarlet cape, embroidered with a golden sun and embellished with golden thread, that drapes over his shoulders down to his knees. A moving wind-up key protrudes from the right side of his neck and through his cape. Leather sandals wrap around his feet and forelegs, leather armguards on his forearms. A golden laurel wreath crowns his head, with leaves of the same design holding back his hair.

Upon exiting the camera world, patches of his chiton and the left hem of his cape are charred and their edges painted in gold. A white sun symbol is branded on his forehead.

### **Object**

#### Weapon (Sword)

Joseph's sword assumes the model of a bronze Gladius sword. Its rain-guard and pommel are intricately carved, and its grip is black with hints of bronze.

#### Photograph

The photograph is now a flat sun-shaped disk made of bronze with a hole in the center from which light gently glows and fades.

#### Camera

A marble pillar is built around Joseph's camera. Its capital is made purely of bronze, with the exception of its abacus, the camera embedded into the section of the shaft directly below the pillar's necking. A bronze intersection separates his camera from the rest of the marble shaft, visibly cracked, and the marred bronze base of the pillar.

### **Special Effects**

Joseph's necklace, hairtie and wreath shimmer in either an orange or grey hue, depending on the appearance he assumes.
