- Капитан Макс: Strong rule: style --- Hyperrealistic, dark, underwater sci-fi, style ... ---. Male, 50 years old, rugged and tired face deeply etched with wrinkles, a fixed, haunted gaze. Short graying hair. Wearing a stained, dark blue deep-sea pilot jumpsuit. Cinematic lighting emphasizing the harsh lines on his face.
- Старик Макс: Strong rule: style --- Hyperrealistic, dark, underwater sci-fi, style ... ---. Male, looks around 100 years old. An extremely aged version of Captain Max. His body is withered, skin covered in scars and pressure marks. Face is heavily shadowed, with only one wild, desperate eye visible, glowing faintly in the dark.
