In general, Hugo is always using his Spectral glamor to appear as he does in canon, though to be fair, his normal appearance is very Spectral already with:
- Heterochromia (one gray, one red)
- Long, elven ears (that are very pierced!)
- Vampire-like fangs
When Hugo is not using his glamor, he has the following traits:
- Black sclera, and his still mismatched irises have a glowing quality.
- Transparent skin from the neck down, and besides being paler, it also has a slightly prismatic red-purple effect like in the right-side image above. Underneath his skin is:
- A complete lack of organs—Only Hugo's bones remain
- Inside his ribcage where his heart would have sat a crystal has taken root and lightly pulsates with light (the gif above)
- Strands of black wrap around his bones emanating from the crystal.
- If Hugo isn't concentrating on it (or allows it), the ghostly skin stops being a barrier, and his bones can be touched directly. They're sensitive.
- "Highlights" in his hair that lightly glow. For the canon-familiar, it's his signature W-Engine effect, and if you're not, it's a la the bottom center image above.
- His left wrist is now growing a small, red rose, thanks to Gregor! Hugo has gently twined it down so that it sits tucked between the bones of his forearm rather than being in the way and liable to get damaged.
