I saw what was presumed to be his past life, and yeah he had that very gothic style (he called his fans "dolls" iirc) and the fact he loves something like Black Cherry tells me that he was pretty counter culture by Japanese standards. He seems like the type who'd become some kind of street punk to avoid conforming in his teenage years considering he wasn't good in school.some of the things he says is problematic sometimes. but he is young and i think means well. im glad cover put him in a gen with older people so they can reel him in a bit. its clear he has a lot to learn about the world.
also think the sado-masochist thing is part of his personal aesthetic. just from seeing his PL fashion sensibilities and music tastes. its the goth aesthetic. like corpse husband.
as much as holomyth/council/irys says they dont have any input into character design, alot of these design choices with tempus matches way too well. maybe with holotempus they are beginning to take talent input into design
I think his current look, outside of the furry bits if I take his word that he isn't a furry of some sort, feels sort of like an idol 'bad boy' sort of style where he has some edge but it has brighter colors to make him not too edgy while fitting in with the other 3. Axel's design I think stands out the most for how it doesn't fit the Isekai fantasy look Tempus as effectively as the rest. The fact he is the "Gladiator" in that get up tells me they had to make a reach with his design to explain what he does. Luckily Axel is also an aggressive (and dense) enough boy that he fits that "role" anyway.
