**Create an illustration of a nameless, late 30's researcher with silver-gray hair and crimson-red eyes in an Edo-era Japan setting. The researcher's face shows signs of age and experience, with laugh-lines and crow's feet that highlight his fox-like eyes. He seeks knowledge of the universe and enlightenment in the hopes of bringing prosperity and hope to the world. Despite his typically aloof demeanor, charming wit, and a background in martial arts, he shoulders the burden of eldritch horrors and cosmic knowledge. The researcher wears practical clothing typical of the Edo era, and he often smokes a hand-rolled cigarillo, the smoke of which helps keep haunting other-worldly spirits at bay. He carries a wooden backpack filled with research tools and supplies, a testament to his life spent among traveling military and his lineage of wandering storytellers. Illustrate the researcher's connection to the otherworldly horrors he researches as he delves deeper into ancient scrolls and supernatural mysteries. Show his determination and courage as he faces the unknown, driven by his desire to uncover hidden truths and bring light to a dark world.** - Upscaled by <@171345300634599425> (fast)
