Description
Pranzha's skin has a soft blue tone, and his hair is short cropped black, salted with stray whites. He is of a fairly lanky build, and has deep, dark lines around his eyes, and he has a haunted mien about him. More often than not, especially of late, he has an unkempt 5-aclock shadow on his high boned cheeks.
In contrast to his unsavory appearance, he dresses sharp; Pranzha has an effortlessness about his fashion, blending traditional Blessed Isle-styles with more barbaric and savage accoutrements.
(I am imagining that Pranzha's Appearance 4 stands for more that his look is very distinct and sets him apart from his peers. Pranzha is Appearance 4 in the same way that Steve Buscemi or Ron Pearlman are Appearance 4. If that makes any sense. He is stylish and cool, also looks kind of weird and odd. He is not beautiful, but depending on your inclinations, he can be considered handsome, in a rugged kind of way.)
