I randomly thought about it today, and this is what I came up with:
- Stolen Heart's jackal mask and bladed gloves are kind of like his "business uniform", and thus he wears them whenever he is "at work" but will often take the mask off when he is "off work".
- Arkturuse is enough of a show-off that he probably wears his falcon mask and elaborate formal attire almost all the time. Now, he may have a couple of variations, or not wear a suit all the time, but I can't see him ever intentionally revealing his face to any of his subordinates with the kind of self-esteem problems he has. (The reason he can't see is that he has freaky void-sockets in place of eyes, so his fears about people's reactions may be justified.)
- Aiyalam kind of arbitrarily sometimes wears the mask and sometimes doesn't, though he tends to wear the claw-gloves pretty often. He takes his "job" a lot less seriously than Stolen Heart does, so he tends to act like he's "off work" at random times, regardless of whether his subordinates are working or not, and when he's "taking a break" like this he tends not to wear the mask. However, there will also be times when his subordinates are not working and he's also "taking a break" but yet he's wearing both the mask and the claw-gloves and seems to be plotting his next move or something. He also has a tendency to seem like he's in a normal, fairly non-threatening mood and then abruptly appear in full nightmare mode with the mask and the claws just to startle people. He's kind of weird and unpredictable.
I'm probably going to keep Stolen Heart's tail as part of his design, even though it seems kind of weird, and perhaps give Arkturuse's limbs a little bit of bird-style scaling to match it. I think it might actually fit best if Aiyalam didn't have one, to kind of go along with the way he thinks Stolen Heart and Arkturuse are eccentric idiots and he's the normal one.
Also, another thing I've tentatively decided is that Aiyalam is deaf and instead of trying at all to figure out what people are saying, he just kind of has these hilarious one-sided conversations with himself, mockingly filling in caricatured versions of how he thinks the other person might reply.
How his subordinates could ever stand him I have no idea. Maybe they're equally weird and insane?
