He appears as a tall, long-limbed, broad-shouldered adult man of indeterminate but reasonably young age, as is commonly seen among vampires. Alucard possesses blood red eyes, which may glow when he is experiencing strong emotions. He can change his hair as it's a part of his shadow. He commonly has short, jet-black hair and his bangs fall slightly in his eyes, with strands on the sides of his bangs framing his face in this form.
