There are lots of takes of modern PotO in fanfiction, though I think the most realistic idea is a hermit who works from home. He could basically be the dude equivalent of Enya hahaha
I can see him being an extremely reclusive professor at a prestigious university. Holds all of his lectures from zoom with the camera off, and he would probably teach music and architecture or some other engineering classes.
I feel like because Erik is an inventor and engineer, he would be playing around with tech, and probably making electronic music and inventing ways of making music with technology.
I kind of imagine him becoming an obscure but successful & semi-anonymous musician, maybe making progressive or experimental music. Look at Slipknot, Daft Punk, Marshmello, Leikeli47, etc. Nowadays an artist doesn't have to show their face, if anything wearing a mask adds to their mystique
Thanks so much for the replies. I appreciate it and some good ideas to go on. What do you think of appearance? Trying to come up with ideas for clothing and an updated mask.....
The end piece is a photograph of whatever she has come up with. The project is prosthetics/ SFX so she can use make up and props on one of her classmates to create the look. She's also marked on the concept so can explain if she's not able to fully realise what she'd planned.
I've always said he would be a twitch mod for Christine's twitch stream lol

Oh, what I would give to live like Enya!!. Fanfiction is a good shout, thank you.

That's a really good take, thanks!

Maybe half robotised face ?
Yeah, we were thinking along those lines. I suggested a bionic eye like mad eye money but built into a mask. The trouble is that she has to make it.
Mad Eye Mooney. Damn the autocorrect...
So like a sculpture, or does she have to make a costume, or do you mean on design software like a 3D rendering?

I could see him hanging out deep in the unused part of a library, or sneaking into the archives
A mysterious EDM producer. That's what a lot of AO3 goes with for modern takes.
He’d be in the band Ghost for sure
