Appearance
Basic Appearance
Atem is five feet, six inches tall- that is with his hair up, and wearing his usual boots with two inch heels. His hair is the most noticeable thing about him, being multi-colored; deep-red outlined, black centered, and blonde lightening bolt shaped bangs. His hair sticks out at different angles, forming triangles, for the most part; and his bangs piece through his hair forming definite spikes, as well as a few pieces hanging in his face.
Atem has sharp facial features, noticed mostly in comparison to Yuugi’s whose face is much softer than Atem’s own. His eyes are crimson in color, evidenced by his appearances in Egypt (though only sometimes), and in Zero Season when they were colored this way. He is no longer sun-kissed, but does tan very well and rather easily. His eyes are also easily noted by their outline of Kohl which always seems to be present. It was fashionable (and necessary) in Egypt to wear make up such as that, and he sees no reason to discontinue it.
He is not overly muscular, but has been known to pack well-toned biceps, abs and a soft outline of a six-pack. He’s very lean even with this, limbs almost being lanky in appearance; also having slender fingers to complete that lengthy look. One might also notice his shapely hips, certainly not afraid in the least of showing off a little feminine quality.
Style of Clothing
His body shape and care is so pronounced because of the style he chooses to wear. Where in Egypt he would wear free flowing clothes (kilts, capes, and tunics), in a new era and style he is more confined. As such he’s seen quite often wearing confining leathers, belts, chains, collars, wrist bands, arm bands, and anything else he might deem to be fashionable.
Other In movement he’s extremely graceful, thanks to his long limbs (And yet still retaining a short appearance, though if questioned on it, he doesn’t mind at all. He was normal height for Egyptians three thousand years ago, after all), his stride is one of pride, head usually always held up and eyes level. Sometimes it can be said that he wears his emotion in his stance. When angered he becomes stilted, not as peaceful (as seen in the heat of duels where he becomes absolutely rigid). When sad, his head is almost certainly tilted down, not wanting to meet the eyes of any other; as well as the bow of his spine become a little more pronounced, his stance lax, shoulders dropped (as seen in most of the Orichalcos season).
Generally, though, he’s usually seen smiling, if not brooding or puzzling over something; or smirking if something has caught his eye or he’s feeling particularly challenged.
If he's caught alone or in a thoughtful mood, it should be noted that his eyes will carry a quality of longing. He's seen a lot of the world, a lot of hurt and pain, a lot of love and freedom; and at times his eyes seem to contain the world, distant and forever. Though if he catches someone looking he'll immediately revert to a smile and a shrug.
