Suiiiii, hi hi hi
Idk if you mess with Ikevil or not, but may I request an edit or two of William Rex holding random things? His sprite has the perfect I'm-cupping-something pose, help 😭
hi atelier! i don’t mess with ikevil sorry 😅 i’m sticking to my charismatic hero, leon dompteur, the fourth prince. (if there was a game about heroic characters tho i’d be all up in there fr)
but i did rex guy plus some others because why not?
so this rex fellow, vlad look-alike guy, i don’t know much about him but here he is, holding some syrup because i think everyone likes syrup.
his nails slay but like is he gonna cut them for the uh… you know… the times when they are unclothed..?
next is this even more depressed-looking lancelot. or perhaps a more emo chevalier idk you choose. i gave him tissues because he looks like he’s about to cry any second.
then we have this guy, he looks like he about to recruit me for his cult or something. but he’s got luscious locks so i thought having him hold shampoo matches him. why are their nails so long? is it a villain thing?
here we have charles but if he accidentally ate loki and became loki or something? in honor of loki, the cheshire cat, i gave him some yarn.
i was going to also do that sebastian-the-demon-one-hell-of-a-butler-in-service-to-a-13-year-old-british-boy-looking guy, but i couldn’t think of something he could hold
i think his name is alfonse? idk how to spell it but yeah he looks like he’s about to say “yes my lord” and then kill a bunch of people for a small boy with a cane.

Sorry but Kabru is so fascinating to me as a character, in a pure mechanical sense, because of what Ryoko Kui does with him. Everything about him is a red herring. He's deliberately introduced as some kind of rival for Laios, a party leader who is hopeless against monsters but absolutely brilliant with people both in and out of combat, and who has good reason to oppose him.
By the end of chapter 31, you might even think Kabru's going to end up as some sort of anti-villain, an antagonist with the best of intentions who nevertheless tries to foil our hero's plans. He wants to defeat the Mad Mage himself, he suspects Laios of being too irresponsible to be trusted with control of the dungeon, and his crew even thinks that Laios's party stole from them (and they're kind of right!). All signs point towards an inevitable showdown.
And then ... none of that happens.
Confrontation over the stolen treasure? Kabru is literally too smart to fall for the classic miscommunication trope and correctly decides it's not worth making a big deal of.
Kabru's deadly PVP skills? Aside from trying to take down Falin, he never fights another human again.
Wanting to be the one who defeats the dungeon? Turns out he was only doing that because he didn't think any other adventurer would have people's best interests at heart, and he's more than willing to play a support role in the whole affair.
Thinking Laios is up to no good? He really did just want to get to know the guy more. He has his misgivings, but ultimately ends up trusting Laios with his life.
Is Kabru going to get some sort of comeuppance for hating monsters and not appreciating their ecosystem? Well no, he has good reasons for hating monsters. He ends up wanting to learn about them through Laios's eyes, but he's never forced into any "Wow, guess I was wrong about them!" revelation.
Hell, even his implied ladykiller ways, which might lead you to think he'll end up being the stock "chivalrous lech" type of character, don't really manifest. He has a lot of opportunities to act flirtatiously around women, but doesn't. He's just a guy whose natural charisma makes him into human catnip.
And that's all hysterical to me, to pull it off. It's a fascinating way to tell a story. To introduce a character explicitly as a rival, potentially even a villain, and instead make them a deuteragonist. It's like a magician making a coin disappear, then slowing down their trick to show you the misdirection. "Did you see what I did there?" they ask with a wink. "The coin was in my other hand the entire time."

I know WFA is too OOC for some people, but I need that shit right now.
I do love seeing the Batfam beating the shit out of each other. I like how messy their relationships are and I have always loved flawed characters.
But idk, man, Batman #138 just really crossed a line for me and I need a reminder that there are other depictions of Bruce that aren't so fucking heinous.
I'll take this shit:
Over this shit:
Any. Fucking. Day.
