....unless

Horizon seems an entirely different creature now that they are reunited with their armor, and by extension their power.

They stand with their back straight, drawing themselves up to reveal a surprising height- they're a full six foot tall, and their plating gives them a broad, imposing silouette. Their entire body is covered in a thin, flexible lattice of hexagonal underplating. It shimmers a dark, glossy color in the light around it, and seems to be near skintight despite being metallic. In between each plate is a thin line of luminous gold. The light they cast isn't particularly bright, but it's still attention catching nonetheless. Key areas of their body are reinforced with larger pieces of spiked plating, including their shoulders, forearms, hands, and hips. They're not jagged enough to catch on anything naturally, because they're not actually meant to be offensive in nature.

Instead, when Horizon moves, they will click open for a moment, venting more of the bright golden light to assist them in moving. This system allows them quite unnatural speed in what looks like otherwise heavy armor, moving as if the thick plates aren't there at all. These vents also open when Horizon is preparing to use magic, spitting even more golden light out into the air around them.

Horizon's collar is plated the thickest of all, with a thick black metal gorget covering them from shoulder to sternum.

Their face is covered from the nose up by a large skull mask, seemingly constructed out of the same golden light their body emits. It's a great deal less bright, so as not to be an eyesore- but it still casts an incredibly slight glow. Their eyes aren't visible underneath the skull, and in fact the skull's eye sockets seem to be entirely dark despite the luminescent nature of the rest of the skull. Their mouth is covered by a set of retractable black plates, that pull back into their gorget whenever they need the ability to drink a potion or bark orders.

Over their shoulder is a loosely fitting cloak, with a large hood. The material is modestly difficult to look at, because the outside of the cloak is made entirey of a flexible black material that doesn't look like or feel like much of anything. When Horizon casts spells, the material will instead flare into a brilliant golden, pulsating out in ripples from Horizon's torso like waves in a pond. The bottom fringe of the cloak is also rather frayed, with a few notable holes and tears. When powered up, this fraying instead begins to move, boiling off of Horizon's back like a burning flame.

Out of their armor, Eirin Lemeza is... less imposing. They're a half-elf, their skin just a bit paler than your average sun elf and darker than your average Caucasian. Their hair is trimmed close to their head, just short enough that it sticks up on its own. It's snowy white, and it's not entirely clear if that is natural or not. They conduct themselves with an air of quiet calm, posture carefully monitored and stance meticulously focused on.

Their eyes are a striking golden color, with odd grains of ice blue flecked throughout them. It's once again unclear if that's the eye color they were born with or not. Under their right eye is a beauty mark, just below the outside corner of their eye. Eirin's a lot less imposing than Horizon, with a rather slim frame. They're typically wearing a pocketless gray epaulette shirt, with the top buttons buttoned tightly to their throat. From the waist down, they typically don't actually wear any clothes- instead, they're usually covered by the underplating of their armor. If they are not, something has gone well and truly wrong.

Their expression at most times is best summarized as "tired 25 year old father."
