A sleek, black tuxedo with a futuristic LED bowtie. He carries a high-tech smartphone and speaks with a confident, booming voice.

Dr. Alaric Mondrian, The Discarded Genius

A slightly disheveled tuxedo with a lab coat thrown over it. He wears thick-rimmed glasses and carries a small vial of blue liquid.

Caspian Frost, The Security Chief

A high-collared tactical suit under a dark blazer. He carries a handheld radio and an earpiece.

Wear a futuristic, cyberpunk-inspired outfit with subtle neon or holographic accents. Carry a sleek, unusual-looking smartphone that you consult frequently.

Wear a flawless tuxedo with a bold-colored pocket square. Carry a deck of high-end playing cards or a single, lucky poker chip that you fiddle with.
