Omg, no. 9 and 10 for Shoju. She seems like an interesting, silly little individual.

she doesn’t currently exist in one specific story… thus, i’d say she’s the main character ! of her own life ! hehe.

i outlined the main stages/events of her life in this post… in terms of character development, she starts out just living life for her own pleasure. she’s gotten a bit more mature and aware, but she’s replaced old bad habits with new ones…

adzuki and taro are on artfight…

6 for the ask game generally? i would love to know ur design process

terre and shoju are old characters that i recently redesigned; i took the base i had and added aesthetically pleasing design elements.

red came from a dream…! some of his features (eyebags, eyelashes, nails, posture, skin tone) naturally became more exaggerated as i continued to draw him, but the base design was served up to me by my subconscious :P

adzuki and taro came from a dream as well. when the dream didn’t give me specific details (like taro’s human face), i just came up with something that felt like it fit the vibes…

aydesh and soda… also came from a dream. the dream actually gave me all the details of their designs, though, so i didn’t have to make anything up…! wow…!

above is a helpful diagram of a guy (me) snug as a bug in a rug, thinking of the characters. this is my design (process) /ref /silly

heyy whats up.. who is the person absolutely tearing up karaoke id love 2 know

i do not have discord…

aforementioned person is SHOJU !! my beautiful princess with a disorder etc.. their life is most easily organized into eight sections (they essentially just live through eight genres of story in the first thirty years of their life); there are more details, but here are the basics:

1: a normal kid with a good life. magic (mesmer/hypnosis/persuasion and mimicry) grows stronger -> experiments on people around him. gets out of control; he stops going to school, turns his parents into puppets, and satisfies his every whim. (the magic powers are why they’re good at singing…)

2: these activities do not go unnoticed -> is caught and put in magic kid jail. his power is restricted by various means, which is upsetting for him. after a rough adjustment period, forms a bond with one of the facility staff.

3: has been on good behavior for some time -> is transferred to a kind of transitional living plan. aforementioned staff acts as his temporary guardian. guardian convinces him to use his magic to make recordings imbued with a compelling, almost addictive quality. once the power of the recordings has been proven, the guardian sees a potential avenue for profit.

4: the recordings attract the attention of a morally corrupt entrepreneur running a failing record company. this person wants to exploit its listeners by hypnotizing them, steal from small music artists, and execute other deplorable yet economically profitable schemes. shoju’s abilities are perfect for this, so the company and his guardian strike a deal.

5: the high school life of a stereotypical rich bad boy in an american high school drama movie. lives another life as a company representative-ish person, as it becomes more well-known and wealthy. has to keep his magic secret so as to not risk exposure of the company’s illegal activities. does light teenager crimes (underage drinking, fake id shenanigans, stealing, trespassing, etc.) with band of dysfunctional delinquent friends who aren’t really friends.

6: mock trial sports anime (i cannot elaborate at the moment… this one would need its own post, honestly). uses their powers to cheat at an important competition -> is caught -> team disqualified, powers revealed to the public, company loses face as its illegal actions are revealed.

7: shoju, their guardian, and the company ceo have a falling out. the company is doomed because of what has happened; it’s inspired further inquiry which has uncovered even deeper fraud than what shoju was part of. shoju runs away to try to start over.

8: transgender, crashout, gets tattoo sleeve. recovers a bit from crashout, at least enough to get a basic job. trying to use her magic less, has a lot of weird mixed feelings about it. she’s in her twenties by this point.

in case anyone is confused about pronouns: shoju is originally boy but becomes girl (basically. her gender is somewhat fluid, however). i called her by the pronouns that best fit her identity in each particular era in this description in order to give you that extra detail (the he/him he/they they/them they/she she/her pipeline /silly). you can just default to she or they whenever you refer to her for simplicity’s sake
