## Appearance

### **Physical**

Joseph's skin tone is a pale white, while his eyes are a dull blue accentuated with black eye shadow. His hands fade from white at the wrists to black at the tips of fingers turning into black claws, while his right arm appears to burning the way to the elbow. His lips have darkened, with pair of fangs sticking out of them and a trail of blood flowing from the right corner of his mouth. Joseph's hair is white and loose, cascading down from his right shoulder.

### **Outfit**

Joseph wears matching black embroidered waistcoat and trousers. Over this he puts on a crimson coat decorated with black embroidery and maroon ornaments alongside with black bat-wing cloak with a high collar and red lining. Around his neck he wears a black jabot that matches the frills of his sleeves. His shoes are black high boots with red laces. The outfit is crowned with jewelry: a silver tiara with bat wings and flaming orange crystal, bat brooch pinned to the jabot matching the sword gem and a black finger band with a silver ring decorated by a red crystal.

#### Weapon

His saber has turned into a silver sword, encrusted with magenta gem (which match the one on his neck) with ornate crossguard.

#### Photo Card

The photograph is now a black card framed in silver, with small designs at each corner along with spiked decorations. On the card is a large silver ornament in the shape of an eye, with the iris being a bright orange gem. Red smoke and small sparks emanate from the eye's center.

#### Camera

Joseph's camera has turned into a dark tombstone with decorative grooves and sculpture of dracula's beast form which holds a red gem. There are two candles under the camera and the whole structure holds upon dead branches.

### **Special Effects**

Red sparkles and dust fall from him as he moves around.

## Trivia

* This skin makes Joseph resemble Castlevania's version of Dracula.
* This costume has been renamed from "Bloody Sword" to "Twilight Sword" on the China Server due to required censorship and also to promote variation in costume names. Its name remains unchanged on both Global Servers.
