## *The Memory of Souls*

Cover of US Edition Hardcover

This is the third installment in the *A Chorus of Dragons* series by Jenn Lyons which follows the events of The Name of All Things*.*

## Official Synopsis

"**WHAT IF YOU'RE THE ONE WHO HAS TO DIE?**

Now that the city of Atrine has been destroyed and Relos Var's plan to free the dark god Vol Karoth has been revealed—the end of the world is closer than ever.

To buy time for humanity, Kihrin, Janel, and Thurvishar must convince the king of the Manol vané to perform an ancient ritual that will strip the vané of their immortality—a ritual that certain vané will do anything to prevent. Including assassinating the ones bringing the news.

Worse, Kihrin must come to terms with the horrifying possibility that his connection to Vol Karoth is steadily growing in strength. How can Kihrin hope to save anyone when he might turn out to be the greatest threat of them all?"

Stair of Dreams

Located between the Upper Circle and Lower Circle of the Capital City of Quur, the Stairs serve as the main public access to the upper mesa.

## Description

Used by the public to access the upper mesa and the Court of Gems, these marble stairs are long and switchback their way up. They are purposefully built to make even a fit person out of breath.

> *"Halfway up, Kihrin realized the long, steep stairs were purposefully intimidating. Royalty traveled by litter or carriage, and would use private gates. Only commoners ever made this climb. They would arrive at their destination gasping for breath and humbled."*

Deathstalker Rebellion

Owen Deathstalker--outlawed, with a price on his head and the blood of a mighty warrior lineage in his veins--had no choice but to embrace a dangerous destiny. With nothing to lose, only he had the courage to take up arms against Queen Lionstone XIV.

Now as he gathers his unlikely allies--the legendary washed-up hero Jack Random, the beautiful pirate Hazel d'Ark, the original Deathstalker long since presumed dead, and the alien Hadenmen whose purposes no human can discern--the eyes of the downtrodden are upon him while the freedom of a galaxy hangs in the balance.

Kazivar House

A home of Aidin Novirin, a wealthy merchant, located in the Lower Circle of the Capital City, which was robbed by Kihrin and used as a interrogation space by several others.

## Description

The house, also described as a villa, has a central covered courtyard which has a garden at the ground floor and is overlooked at least on one side by a second floor. One of the rooms overlooking the courtyard is a balcony of a spacious opulent bedroom with detailed craftsmanship, tapestries, and ornaments of wealth.

> *"The bedroom Rook entered was large and daunting, filled with the ostentatious filigree and tile work for which imperial craftsmen were famous. Cotton sateen covered the massive bed, tapestries lined the walls and divans, and elegant figurines of heavy bronze and jade sported across the boudoir countertops."*
>
>
>

## History

Most importantly, though the book refers to this house as the Kazivar House its only connection to that Quur domain that we currently know is its merchant owner, Aidin Novirin, was travelling to that location when his house was robbed. Aidin was marrying his daughter to the a knight in Kazivar when his house was being robbed/used. Though Kihrin did sweep up some coin and small items he did not steal that much, and from what can be surmised, not much should remain of the murder either, only a disturbed bedroom and out of place chair (though there could be more we did not see).

## Biography

"Jenn Lyons’s childhood was spent in the safe havens of local libraries and bookstores, where even as her artistic talents began to develop she continued to nurture her love of science-fiction, fantasy, and noir detective stories. Being pale, not a friend of sunlight, and not much of a morning person, she set her sights on a career that would allow her to stay indoors or work at night (her favorite career pick was ‘cat burglar’) but she was devastated when she discovered that she would not, in fact, ever be able to marry Batman. Older but wiser, she turned from the life of a jewel thief to tackle a career as a graphic artist and illustrator, spending the next 20 years working in print media and advertising. A woman with too many hobbies (a list that included video games, fountain pens, table-top RPGs, LARPing, comic books, and costume design), Lyons was irresistibly drawn to ~~making things up~~ storytelling.

After making a dramatic shift in careers from graphic artist to video game producer, Jenn Lyons dedicated herself to writing. *The Ruin of Kings* and *the Name of All Things*, the first two books in Lyons’s five-book debut epic fantasy series from Tor Books, *A Chorus of Dragons*, are available now. The third book in the series, *the Memory of Souls*, arrives August 2020.

Jenn Lyons lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with her husband, Michael Lyons (who is also a writer — and may or may not be Batman), a bunch of cats, and a whole lot of tea."

Praying Gate

Part of the Gate System, it connects the Lower Circle and the Temple District in the Upper Circle of the Capital City.

## Gate System

The gate system is a method of teleportation between different locations. For more information see Gate System.

## History

It is possible this not referring to a magical portal that is part of the Gate System, but instead a normal gate used to restrict access to the Temple District. This is unlikely as in its description it says:

> *"On the few occasions Surdyeh had taken him to the Ivory District (or later, when Kihrin had come by himself), they'd always used the Praying Gate entrance. By contrast, the switchbacking marble steps of the Stair of Dreams were the only public access [the Court of Gems]..."*

Winding Sheet

Located in Velvet Town in the Lower Circle of the Capital City, the Winding Sheet is a velvet house offering darker than normal services.

## Description

This Velvet House is usually only frequented by the wealthy, as only they can afford the services offered. Slaves and velvets are purchased, not hired, here, and the house specializes in fulfilling specific requests. If necessary they even will use magic from a priest of Caless to fulfill orders.

> *"The calamities and whores of the Winding Sheet aren't rented, but purchased. One does not rent something whose purpose is to be destroyed."*

House D'Evelin

Source: TorForgeBlog.com

As one of the twelve Royal Houses in the Empire of Quur, the D'Evelin family controls one of the economic sectors of the Empire. They exercise control over the Capital City's waste removal (but not over Gallthis), and have a lower reputation, likely due to several of their practices. They are also rumored to and believe themselves to be over the Shadowdancers (SPOILER: This is not true, as House D'Mon is over the Shadowdancers.) Their reputation among the houses seems to be slightly middle of the road.

## Economic Monopoly

Description of Gallthis and affirmation that they are not over shadowdancers though they think they are
Captain Roche

**Captain Marcus Roche** is captain of the Prince Division in the Rampoon City Police Department.

## Personality

Captain Roche is an archetypal police captain: No-nonsense, by-the-book, and stern. He takes awhile to warm up to people, but when he does, it's said he's actually not that bad of a guy.

That said, Capt. Roche is not made of stone. He dearly enjoyed the company of the previous employees of the Prince Division, and was devastated when they were all killed to a man, going into a deep depression that was only lifted after the current officers distinguished themselves in the line of duty. He is insistent on the Division working as a team, for their safety, and also for their .

## Background

Little is known of Roche's background, though he has been the RCPD's Prince Division captain for some time.

## Relationships

#### The Prince Division

All within the Prince Division tend to implicitly respect Roche, as he doesn't necessarily allow for wanton foolishness in his department. He is especially hardest on Bryant, who's warped ideas on how to successfully be an officer have caused the police department and the division issues, and he's had to discipline him more than once. That said, he does respect his officers, and commends them when they do good work.

#### Necromancy Division

Roche does not trust the Necromancy Division, and often tells his officers to keep their distance from them. If there's bad blood, he isn't interested in telling the details, but it's clear he has no love lost for them.
House D'Moló

Source: TorForgeBlog.com

As one of the twelve Royal Houses, this family holds considerable power in the Empire of Quur. They control animal husbandry and the working of natural fibers and clothe, including leather. Not much else is known about them as they have not featured prominently in the series yet.

## Description & Heraldry

Eyes, Gem, & Jaguar symbol

EYES :: The D'Moló House is recognizable by their cat like eyes. Presumably it has a narrow slit for the pupil. It is noted they are artificial, likely changed by magic.

GEM :: This house's gem is Chrysoberyl, a yellow/gold/green like gem which can range in colors.

HERALDRY :: The D'Moló House's symbol is a Jaguar. It is typically represented in profile view with ears back and mouth open wide to review its fangs. Its elegantly clipped at the neck into a crescent shape.

## Members

There are no known members of this family at this time.

## Economic Monopoly

This family controls a wide range of economic sectors which center on animals and the producing of clothes. The process begins with their dominance over Animal Husbandry, or the raising, breeding, and harvesting of animals and their fur. So far the animals used by Quur have not been shown, but they seem to have cows, horses, goats, and sheep. This family also controls the turning of these fibers into workable products including leather work, weaving, and tailoring. Their craftsman ship is advanced enough to use leather to create replica armors (as Therin wears to the D'Mon New Year's masquerade in The Ruin of Kings), however beyond that not much is witnessed of the family or the work of their economic sector.

## House History

ORIGINALITY :: Given that this family has artificial eyes, it is not likely they are one of the original eight Royal Houses.
House of the Red Sword

Located in the Ruby District of the Upper Circle within the Capital City of Quur, this fortress like estate serves as the residence of High General Qoran Milligreest and his immediate family.

## Description

The estate is located two streets down from the Great Forge, and has red mage lights along the street to represent it as a place in the Ruby District. It is built with appearance of a fortress, but has a central open courtyard with several stories, a practice ring, and the typical rooms of nobles, such as library, offices, and music room. Much about this estate, especially the outside, reflect the professional, neat, organization of the Milligreest's occupation.

### Front Entrance & Front Lawn

The entrance is kept by large wrought iron gates with a decorative red metal sword welded into the design. Along the road side of the yard are palm trees, straight and even. The lush yard of the lawn is not overly decorated and has only narrow strips of short flowers. In the yard there is visible dueling yards, stables, and a horse riding ring. The house itself is very fortress like. It's three stories are plain and covered in red-orange plaster and is complete with battlements, arrow slits, and a tower on each corner.

> *"It seemed more fortress than palace: there were no proper windows, and only a single, massive front door. The damn thing even had arrow slits."*
>
>

### Main Courtyard & Murals

The courtyard is in the center of the house with all three floors looking out over it, with the ground floor having large archways to the inside. The courtyard has fountains and orange trees, with braided reed chairs and tables casually arranged at the center. Along the wall nearest the front entrance, there is a mural, *Kandor's Bane (*by Felicia Nacinte, requested by Laris Milligreest the Fourth), painted on the plaster.

### Library

The Milligreest's library is well used and clearly very prized by its owners. It has a large fireplace at its end with several high back chairs around it. Its walls and ceilings are carefully crafted with various colors of wood to reveal patterns. Its books are older, and clearly used regularly.

### Music Room

One of the rooms in the estate houses several harps, and place to practice. Qoran owns several harps all of wealthy value, including, at the start of The Ruin of Kings, Valathea. It is kept secure with a heavy lock and large carved wood doors.

### Jarith's Office

Jarith's office has a large desk and several chairs for guests, but you would be hard pressed to find them under the mounds of papers, scrolls, map, and reports. From the vast amount of papers, it is likely Jarith worked from home a great deal.

House D'Laakar

Source: read.macmillan.com

As one of the twelve Royal Houses, the D'Laakar family holds considerable power in the Empire of Quur. They oversee the Ice Men and those responsible for food preservation and air cooling. Not much is known about the house as they have yet to be featured prominently in the series.

## Description & Heraldry

EYES :: House D'Laakar members are recognizable by their Turquoise eye color.

GEM :: The Aquamarine is gem which represents House D'Laakar

HERALDRY :: A fish represents the D'Laakar House. There is a note that either one or two fish represent this house, though only one is shown on this official symbol. The fish is usually represented as curling into its tail, with long flowing lines for its fines. Overall it is elegant design.

## Economic Monopoly

The D'Laaker House controls a variety of economic services. They in some part oversee the Harbor Master's Office and customs inspectors as the customs agents of the Capital City pay their dues to House D'Laakar. They also control the Ice Man, or those in charge of refrigeration and air cooling. This has yet to be explained fully in the series, but given the extreme heat of the Capital City in the summer, the ability to cool air and preserve food is a critical one.

## House History

ORIGINALITY :: This house is likely one of the original eight Royal Houses as it has a none artificial eye color.

Red Marks

Located in Velvet Town in the Lower Circle of the Capital City, the Red Marks is a brothel known for its rougher services.

## Description

No much is known about this Velvet House other than it likely offers services which involve a bit less comfort.

> *"Her clothing consisted of black leather belts, worn crisscrossed over her breasts, her stomach, her hops. The straps didn't serve as either protection or modesty....He almost told her this was the wrong brothel and she should go down the street to the Red Marks if she was looking for rough trade, but the sass died in his throat."*

The Name of All Things (Book)

## *The Name of All Things*

Cover of US Edition Hardcover

This is the second installment in the *A Chorus of Dragons* series by Jenn Lyons which follows the events of *The Ruin of Kings.* It tells the story of Janel, and then her adventures with Kihrin.

## Official Synopsis

"You can have everything you want if you sacrifice everything you believe.

Kihrin D'Mon is a wanted man.

Since he destroyed the Stone of Shackles and set demons free across Quur, he has been on the run from the wrath of an entire empire. His attempt to escape brings him into the path of Janel Theranon, a mysterious Joratese woman who claims to know Kihrin.

Janel's plea for help pits Kihrin against all manner of dangers: a secret rebellion, a dragon capable of destroying an entire city, and Kihrin's old enemy, the wizard Relos Var.

Janel believes that Relos Var possesses one of the most powerful artifacts in the world―the Cornerstone called the Name of All Things. And if Janel is right, then there may be nothing in the world that can stop Relos Var from getting what he wants.

And what he wants is Kihrin D'Mon.

Jenn Lyons continues the Chorus of Dragons series with The Name of All Things, the epic sequel to The Ruin of Kings."

Emperor's Palace

Located in the Upper Circle of the Capital City of Quur, the Palace serves as the seat of government of Quur's Emperors though each one uses it differently.

### Hall of Heroes

A tomb where Emperors and other people of importance to Quur (not Royalty as they usually have their own tombs) are preserved at their death. Known 'residents' include Emperor Sandus and his voramer wife Dyana.

## Usage by Emperors

### Emperor Sandus

During Emperor Sandus's reign the Palace mostly used for parties held by some of the Voices on the Council. Emperor Sandus did not live there or hold audiences there.

> *"'But I'm pretty sure I can't just walk up to the palace and ask for an audience, you know?'
>  'Oh no,' Galen agreed. 'That's just the place where they throw the parties. I know that. He doesn't live there.'*
>
>
Gallthis

The trash pit outside the Capital City and used by citizens.

## Usage

The usage of this garbage dump is slightly lucrative as it is used by those who do not wish to pay the fees charged by House D'Evelin through the Junk Boys. This means objects (or people) that one needs to discard of in a more secretive fashion might be able to disappear there. For example, in Surdyeh's story of how Kihrin was found, he was found as a baby abandoned there. ((SPOILER FOR BOOK ONE: Though this is revealed to be untrue, it must have been likely enough to be believable.))

Source: read.macmillan.com

Based in the Empire of Quur this family has considerable power as it is one of the twelve Royal Houses of Quur. They control the service of healing to such an extent that even the doctor's businesses are referred to as Blue Houses, the D'Mon color. Their reputation is fairly high and they are generally very respected even though some of its members have darker sides.

House D'Aramarin

Source: read.macmillan.com

As one of the twelve Royal Houses of Quur, the D'Aramarin's hold considerable economic power in the Empire of Quur. They control the Gatekeepers, those responsible for transportation and teleportation, and currently hold first rank among the Royal Houses.

## Description & Heraldry

EYE: The D'Aramarin eye color is green, with dark green being reserved for the D'Kard house.

GEM: The D'Aramarin's gem very closely resembles their eye color as it is an emerald.

HERALDRY: The Kraken serves as the symbol for the D'Aramarin House. It is usually drawn with the head/body in the center and the eight arms swirling out in pairs, with holes for the eyes, adding an eerie sinister look to the symbol. The Kraken is the creation of the God King Laaka, and as they are usually referred to as daughters, its estimated they are female. For more information see: Kraken.

RANK: This house generally holds first rank.

## Members

Havar D'Aramarin -- Current High Lord

Dorman D'Aramarin -- "Nobleman" of the House

Alshena (D'Aramarin) D'Mon -- Former member, Wife of Darzin

## Economic Monopoly

The D'Aramarin House controls the Gatesystem of the Empire, and general transportation. As trade and quick transport are essential to the Empire success in both trade and war, the family has a great deal of importance, even among the other Royal Houses. The Gatesystem uses Gatestones to aid those with magic in making gates as it is very difficult to do so alone. The D'Aramarin's have mages who are able to work together or use the Gatestones to help others travel, for a fee. They also have mages employed who monitor the Gatestones, ensuring their security and reporting any suspicious activity. They continue the general trend in Quur of only employing and licensing men, and refusing to recognize females with magic abilities as anything more than a witch.

## House History

ORIGINALITY : The close connection of this house's gem and eye color as well as the normalcy of the eye color indicate that his is likely one of the original eight Royal Houses.

Not much of the House's history is known from *The Ruin of Kings*, expect that House D'Aramarin and House D'Mon made an agreement a year after Kihrin was born, and as a result Alsenha D'Aramarin married Darzin D'Mon. They are also ranked first among the other Royal Houses.

Dragons

Dragons in Tyga are breathtaking creatures. They each possess unique capabilities and looks, though most range in size, they are commonly enormous. The dragons were created during the Second Ritual meant to siphon the powers away from the Eight Immortals and into S'arric to close the Wound. Although it is not specifically stated, something within the ritual went wrong that led to the creation of Vol Karoth and the nine dragons. Each dragon created by the failed ritual has an individual Cornerstone that is directly linked and associated with them.

## General Description

Each of the dragons range in size with Morios being the largest and Aeyan'arric being the smallest.

Velvet Town

Located in the Lower Circle adjacent to the Copper Quarter, Velvet Town is the Red Light district of the Capital City. It is called Velvet Town due to having a great many Velvet Houses (see: Velvets)

## Description

Velvet Town is an odd section of the city where the lower and upper classes collide on its white stone streets. Sailors from the harbor visit velvet houses down the street from those who's services are used by the Upper Circle nobles.

> *"At night, the streets of Velvet Town were more crowded than during the day; this was an entertainment district after all, and not one where customers wished to be recognized. Salli cloaks paraded silently, with hoods up - a field of muddy phantoms making the rounds from home to brothel and back again."*
>
>

It is rarely closed to outsiders. Even when the City is closed to outsiders, the Merchant Quarter and Velvet Town remain open for sailors. Common businesses are not limited to velvet houses (brothels) as it is also is known for its gambling dens and lucrative taverns. Thievery and drugging of victims is common as the Shadowdancers are very active on its streets and in its gambling houses.

House D'Kard

Source: TorForgeBlog.com

As one of the twelve Royal Houses of Quur, this family holds considerable power in the Empire of Quur. They control the economic sector of Masons which include builders, carpenters and general crafters.

## Description & Heraldry

EYE : This house has a dark green colored eye, different from House D'Aramarin who just has green eyes. There is also a note in the text that these eyes are artificially colored dark green. This is likely done through magic.

GEM: In keeping the green theme for this family, the gem they choose is Jade.

HERALDRY: The symbol for the D'Kard house is a spider, usually facing down with the eight legs curved down and around. It also usually has several small dots on the head area for eyes.

## Economic Monopoly

Not much has been revealed about this house and its economic monopoly or how it operates. However, given that the Capital City is more than self-made huts, its likely the family has a significant influence. This does not seem to override regional differences as descriptions of homes in the text retain unique regional characteristics.

## House History

It is not likely that this house is one of the original eight Royal Houses. This is largely due to the note that their eyes are artificially changed to the house color, and that there is already a family with heavily focuses on green as a house color.

## Description & Fauna

Not yet visited in the books, there is not much known about the Senlay. It is home to crocodiles, which are common enough to be referenced by those in the capital.

Court of Gems - Location

Located in the Upper Circle of the Capital City of Quur, the Court of Gems is a combination of the districts of the Royal Houses. It contains their palaces, business centers, and homes of noblemen of their house.

## Description

The Court of Gems is overall divided into districts associated with one of the twelve Royal Houses. It is a collection of well maintained palaces, villas, and estates. Each district has a different theme based upon the house which dominates there. For example the district where the House D'Talus lives is called the Ruby District, after their house gem, and has mage-lights (a luxury) colored red on the street. Each district also holds a Royal Palace where the closest members of each royal family live, and these can be like a city themselves.

## List of Known Districts

### The Ruby District

Home to House D'Talus, this district centers the House colors of red, and the gem ruby. It has red colored mage lights along its streets. It contains the Great Forge (its not clear if this is the name of the palace of D'Talus family or an actual forge), and the House of the Red Sword, the Milligreest Estate.

## Costume Description

Bluey's main body is large and covers the wearer's entire body, save for their hands and legs. The performer wears blue gloves over their hands and blue pants and character feet. The arms are rather small and the head is locked in place, limiting the movement and interactions of the wearer.
Bo Peep

**Bo Peep** is a supporting character in the Toy Story franchise created by Pixar. Her appearances are in the first two films as a supporting character, portrayed as a love interest to the protagonist, *Sheriff Woody*.

Bo Peep currently meets at Disney Parks around the world including at her Toy Story Land section of the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, and Disneyland Resort in California. She can be spotted alongside *Woody*, Buzz Lightyear and Jessie.

## Park Appearances - Then & Now

### Then

In the mid to late 2000s, Her character looked as she did in the Toy Story movie - a pink and white frilly dress, bright yellow/gold hair with a pink bonnet atop her head. Her mask used was rather bland and lifeless, with dark blue eyes and a basic smile. (*See Fig. 1*)

Sunglasses-like material was used for vision, and a mesh screen mouth for ventilation.

### Now

During the theater screenings of Toy Story 4 in 2019, a new updated version of Bo Peep was introduced to the parks for meet and greets. Her attire consisted of a blue jumpsuit, pink waistband, black Mary Jane shoes, and a pink bow. Her eyes are now a much lighter shade of blue, and the new mask feels full of life.

## Costume (Current Version)

### Head

Her friendly face is accompanied by light blue eyes, bright gold hair and a large pink bow. Her hair isn't free-flowing because it's made of a plastic-like material; so it's hard to the touch.

The mask is put on by the performer in two separate pieces. They converge along the hairline similar to Elastagirl. (See Fig. 2)

Vision is accomplished through the mesh screen eyes.

### Body

Her body is on the slender side with supple hip padding worn by the performer underneath the blue jumpsuit. The performer also wears a skin-tight bodysuit to portray skin without showing their own. Because of the bodysuit, it tends to wrinkle around the neck giving it an unnatural look. Overall, the Bo Peep suit is very similar to the Elastagirl costume. Such as her 2 part head and skin tight suit.

Cosplay

**Cosplay** (コスプレ, kosupure) is a short way of saying of "Costume Play". It is an act of dressing up to look like an anime, manga, video game, Japanese rock, or K-pop character. A person who does this is called a Cosplayer.

Cosplay can be divided into two parts, basic cosplay and masquerade cosplay. Both types of cosplay involve trying to physically look like the character, including speaking like the character and memorizing quotes. Masquerading, or "The Masquerade," usually refers to a cosplay competition where cosplayers demonstrate their skills in creating costumes, putting on skits, and in technical matters.

Even though cosplaying is originally from Japan, there are a number of cosplay communities in Malaysia, China, the United States, UK, Indonesia, and the Philippines, because of the popularity of Japanese animation, movies, and popular culture in those countries.

## Appearance

This costume has a large banana body, with a face positioned where a human face would be, relative to the rest of the body. This face is actually a detachable mask which stays affixed to the main body with hook-and-pile fasteners. The face features eyes, eyebrows, a smiling mouth, and rosy cheeks.

The performer wears a yellow unitard, which covers the exposed arms and legs. The costume also includes oversized red running shoes and oversized four-fingered gloves.

## Performance

The whites of the eyes are mesh, allowing the performer to see out. The bottom of the costume is open-bottom and comes to the performer's upper thighs, allowing a fiar range of movement. In addition, the body is soft foam, which makes it flexible enough to bend. The performer can even sit in the costume.

The mask used for the face can be attached and reattached, allowing the performer to expose their face without removing the costume.

## Costume

### Cool/Avenger

The Avenger Chuck E. suit is bulky with a lot of padding. He wears a purple, green, and yellow shirt with a big yellow letter C on it, green shorts, and green and yellow shoes. His hands are grey on the back and flesh colored on the front (and made from a different material). The head is modestly sized with a baseball cap with the same colors and yellow C as his shirt on top. The top of the head is grey while the bottom part around the mouth is flesh colored, with blue eyes, a black nose, a bright smile, and a pair of buck teeth.

### Rockstar

The Rockstar costume, has many differences from the Avenger costume. The shirt has the same colors as the Avenger costume, but with a different design, although the big yellow letter C is still present. The green shorts are ditched in favor of blue jeans, and the green and yellow cartoony shoes are switched out for a more modestly sized pair of red and white shoes. The hands are now grey on the entire glove rather than just the back side. The head is much larger than the original. The ears are larger, the eyes are larger and made green as opposed to blue, the nose is bigger, and the area surrounding the mouth is now white as opposed to being flesh colored. In addition the baseball cap is completely ditched, although his smiling mouth and buck teeth remain mostly intact (but larger and more cartoony looking). Overall, the Rockstar costume is less bulky than the Avenger costume and more form fitting.
