Altair Aquila

Altair Aquila is one of the main characters of Proxima Luminous. He is the alpha star of the Aquila constellation.

Appearance
Altair is a fairly tall, pale young man of a slim, somewhat-lanky build, looking like someone in his early twenties. He has shoulder-length, somewhat unruly, blonde hair parted near the middle and falling in a way that partially obscures his eyes. From the split in his hair hangs a single strand, curled to the right, past his face.

Altair has slanted, almost parallelogram shaped eyes with long thick eyelashes creating a wing, and three long ones at the bottom. The striking feature are his horizontal irises with thin predator-like pupils. The color of his eyes ranges from yellow to orange to green with gold alpha marks "on top" of them.

Altair's skin is littered with scars, most noticeably on his face, though mostly covered by his hair - two long ones on the left cheek, curling under the eye and over the eyebrow, - and a small one on the right side of the forehead. Another one is on the left side of the neck, covered by his shirt collar, and one across the palm of his left hand. Because of Altair's choice of garments, it's unknown how many other scars he has.

He normally wears a white dress-shirt with puffy sleeves fixed on the wrist, covering the palms, large black buttons and a dark-grey stripe on either side of them. The shirt is tucked into black pants with a brown belt. Another belt with a satchel is fixed on his left thigh. He wears knee-high brown boots with gold stripes and small purple gems with cloth on the outer side of the knee.

When out of house, Altair puts on a long red cape with a gold trim and shoulder pads. The purple upright collar is almost up to his chin. The cape closure is embedded into the purple gem with a gold ring on a light blue-purple cravat. The cape itself holds the Aquila asterism mark. Also Altair wears a brown beret-like puffy hat, though mostly because of Arla's habit of landing on and pecking his head and not for practical or fashion purposes.

Trivia
-Altair is the only one whose design stayed largely the same since the first sketch.

-Real Altair is flattened at the poles, which I completely coincidentally reflected in his eyes.

-Speaking of eyes, their color also was a coincidental reference to reality – the star is spotty with multitude of colours.

-He is extremely afraid of mice and other small rodents.

-Altair can understand any type of bird (and avion) speech, not only fellow eagles.

-Altair's birthday - June 20th - is the national Eagle Day
