Logos- the head, stands for the persuasion of logic and reason
Ethos- the hands, stands for the persuasion of credibility & character of speaker
Pathos- the heart, stands for the persuasion of emotion
Now to describe the reason for the way I designed them. I wanted to go with three basic colors that were good "opposites" of each other for their bases. I was sure of red for Pathos, and blue for the cool temperment of Logos, and so green for Ethos seemed to go great with nature/out-doorsy that would fit for working with your hands.
First, Logos: blue. I wanted to protray Logos as the nerd or scholarly type, so glasses and a sweatervest were a must. I tried to make it look like he cared about his appearance, and that he wore a school uniform with pride. He's very cynical and sceptical, trusting only in hard facts and numbers. I wouldn't say Logos is anti-social, but he is far less comfortable working with people than computers. He doesn't get along well with Pathos, in fact they often have arguments, or as Pathos refers to them as "creative discussions". He's a straight A student, honor roll, secretary for the Student Council, and a total know-it-all.
Second, Ethos: green. I wanted to protray him as the likable type, the jock, the Mr.Fix-it, the one everyone agrees with, mister charisma. I figure a sweatshirt and torn jeans were pretty good for that. The lanyard hanging out of his pocket is a hometown thing, at my school it's a symbol that you drove to school since the lanyard would be attached to your car keys and hanging them out just sort of became a fad. He's an easy-going guy, but gets things done when it counts. He's not an honor student, but he has good grades and is ready to help someone study if they need it. He loves sports and parties just like anyone else, but has a certain degree of responsibility in the way he knows when to put other things first. He's the kind of guy that hanging out with is easy. Is usually the one caught in the middle of Logos & Pathos's arguments, he's always the one trying to calm the two down. He's the captain of the soccar team as well as Student Council President. He has a tan since he's outdoors a lot, whether it be camping or practice, or just working on his car.
Third, Pathos: red. I wanted him to come off as the theater type, the one who's very dramatic in everything he does, as well as a social butterfly. He wears purple skinny-jeans, along with a piano seatbuckle-belt, pale red t-shirt, and maroon arm warmers. His glasses chain are a prop he always wears, and while his eyes aren't that bad, he still needs glasses. He wears contacts for proformances however. He's very empathetic, and understands others easily. He's the type of friend that everyone goes to for their troubles or advice. He listens wholeheartedly, and gives an answer based on his emotions. He's perfect for acting, knowing just what to say to trigger the best emotional responce. He's very creative and doesn't take logic into account very often. He's a jump in heart first kind of guy, which causes him to be on odds and ends with Logos over just about everything. While they don't see eye-to-eye on many things, Pathos still conciders Logos a friend, even if he thinks he's stuck up a lot of the time. He is usually the main actor in most of the school productions, best in his writing and art classes, but does poorly in his math class. He's the Vice President of the Student Council, and on the track team. Comes off as very aloof and care-free, and very overly dramatic.
Pathos's design was heavily based on Grell Sutcliff from Kuroshitsuji (owned by Yana Toboso-sama), Logos was based on my original character Tamoa (even the hair style is the same, though Tamoa's is red), and Ethos I totally just went wild, no one really influenced him.
