My votes for most frightening:

  • Leading the Rebels, with powers: white robe, gold mask, white hair -- because he's so implacably vicious, and willing to play on Shen Wei's feelings so directly.
  • Monologuing hologram in the park -- because I don't think he realises how upsetting his philosophy is
  • Long white robe in the palace with bleeding forehead -- this is more 'existentially frightening', because he's literally trying to eat the world

My favourites are:

  • monologuing in the park, because I love how polite he is at first, bowing and meeting Zhao Yunlan like he's trying to recruit him, ha
  • disguised as Shen Wei (casual), because that SID lab scene is so fantastic: the little laughs, the eyeroll when Wang Zheng and Sang Zan sacrifice themselves, and before that, the way he's practically drooling over the Hallows. Plus, of course, "Xiao Yunlan." :D

For the cloak, I chose "He doesn't like how it feels over his hair, especially with the hood up" -- I actually think that's plausible? After all that time in the pillar, it wouldn't be surprising if he had some touch sensitivity.
