The God of Rock appears as a tall, muscular man with fair skin with long, pure white hair, as well as a long beard. He also has blue eyes with no irises or pupils, which help to signify his divinity.
His main attire consists of a black toga-like robe that is secured by a large silver-studded belt around his waist. The belt also has a large chain secured to the front and back of the belt. He also wears matching black buckled gauntlets as well as black buckled boots.
In addition to his regular attire, when the figurines for the Guitar Hero Action Figures Series 2 were released, they also released two other variants to The God of Rock's original figurine. One depicted him with a white toga instead of his black toga, and the other depicted him as entirely made out of gold.
