The Anak's "skinttone" isn't that far from hers either, and Philon is notably a zirantian majority country. It's a cool theory, but the fact that Xerces was created with the same character model as Orcent doesn't really do a lot by itself, I think Yeah, you're correct that it's just based on aesthetics, which doesn't count for THAT much here.

We have no idea that Philon is a Zirantian majority country, though - we've only met one guy from it, and he happens to be a Zirantian, but afaik we never got any other info on what kind of country Philon is, other that it's kinda like Canada, where the north is super cold and almost nobody lives in it, and most of the population lives on the temperate zone bordering the Orgasmic Empire.

You're also right that normally, it's kinda hard to differentiate between fur and skin, but on Xerces we have a few hints that his skin isn't covered in fur. For one, his hair is lighter than his skin - he has almost blond sideburns, and you can clearly tell where they end. For two, if you look at his full portrait, he has darker spots on his neck and shoulders that look very similar to those on Orcent's bald head. Again, minor detail, purely based on looks. But imo there's not a much stronger argument for him being a Zirantian other than his ears and general sorta werewolf look, either.

Btw, do we know if his portrait is one of the pre-existing RPGMaker ones? Because he looks a bit familiar to me, like the Asshole of Arclent and the Lustlord who I'm pretty sure I've already seen somewhere else, but I might be wrong.
