Okay, is it weird that I'm generally more attracted to evil characters more than to goodie guys? Because I am, hahahah xDD Though Kuwa is a neutral one, if you take the story overall, so guess I can be forgiven ^^"
I really like this whole backstory thing, it seems like something that legit could happen. It's like a weird analogy of a typical chain of events when someone from a smallish town/village/whatever comes to a big city and basically shits themselves big-time xDDD Also can't help mentioning [probably yet again] that the fact that he can learn others' skills by drinking their blood is just awesome owo Add some alco to it and he'll be drunk and severely overpowered xD
oh and his staff is fqin' awesome-

8'DDDDDDD Naahh, that's not weird!! With my own OCs (because we always view our own characters differently) I think I like both good guys and bad guys, possibly good guys more (only because they get more focus ;u; ) BUT when it comes to other characters, or canon characters, games, cartoons whatever, I ALWAYS like the bad guys the best!! >:3 With fandoms I almost never like the good guys/ protagonists, and am always rooting for the villains XDDDDD so, you are not alone there
Oh thank you!! Yeah Kuwa has that whole thing going.... he lived in a "bubble" in his youth and was allowed to think he was "special" ...then went out into the world and was like "w---waAAAAAAH????" when he met people stronger than him, got bitchslapped and got told "you aren't a god, sit down and shut the fuck up." xDDDDD Ah I'm glad you like the blood drinking/copying thing! It seems at odds with the rest of my world's rules/whatever because blood-drinking is not usually a part of any magical... thing. XDD but. I just rolled with it, LOL
Hmmm~~ What would drunk Kuwa be like..... <__< I just imagined him stumbling out of tavern, muttering "aghhh... you don't know meeeee! *hic*" Then sending out a blast of ice magic, destroying a town, killing 50,000 people, before passing out XDDDDD Yee, thank you!! >///<

This is very prerry! The pose looks so natural, yet complex. Plus you really excelled at coloring and shading! The clothes design of this character is also very georgous, especially the coat! Amazing job!

My pleasure! True, I like the little black on this one. But I like Shin and he has a lot of black. I'm quite a paradoxal person I guess...
Yes this one looks very good regarding the pose! It seems very accurate regarding anatomy.

Handsome guy >>> is an asshole >_>
Shit... when I read that he thought he could taste the other soldiers' blood to have their problems... I had thought of it
before, when he joined the army, and was fearful that he would have such plan...
>:·( .... I ... understand Heru's point of view but I don't know if I can share it. This guy believed he was a god all his life..
it doesn't matter how traumatic the disappearance of his cult was for him, he already grew up with that mindset so
perhaps a tiny thing can trigger that behavior again.
And because of all that... I have mixed feelings towards him. He's a trully handsome ikemen
I want to see more often, definitely X///DDD BUT!! I sense evil. Specially towards my OTP,
which means, I can't accept Kuwa 100% >:·(

Buritsu In reply to Akai--Me [2018-02-15 04:58:25 +0000 UTC]
I was savouring your comments before rpelying xDDD
Yeah, mixed feelings about Kuwa is what you should have, honestly. It's different for me cause he's my character, but if Kuwa was someone else's character or a guy in an anime, I don't know how I'd feel about all the shit he pulled xP But I do like when evil guys get their comeuppance (holy crap, I actually spelt that right first try!) and Kuwa DID get his; he gets his ass kicked all the time by other Numbered Soldiers who are stronger than him, and Kuwa has to deal with being hated and the guilt of all the things he’s done. So I kind of… like him… I like characters that can be pitied, and at the later stage, he certainly has a pitiful existence.
Haha, you are in the same boat as Conran then. Heru decides that there would be no point in hating Kuwa, it would not change the past. But Conran is more vengeful, and thinks Kuwa deserves all the hatred and suffering in the world for what he did >X0 Kuwa’s realisation happened in a few stages, starting when he realised he was NOT the strongest guy ever and that people all over the world would NOT bow down to him XPPP He’s kind of a poor confused dumb idiot, really.
But he IS an evil asshole, so I am satisfied with you having a mixed reaction to him, it is fair :3 Thanks for reading!!!

Awwww poor Kuwa. ;n; Being used and betrayed, in a way, by your own country hits hard man....
Reading that bio made me feel sorry for him QAQ But it's okay, boi - your face is absolutely handsome.
In spite of his past, he's a strong character yo O: I'm surprised he didn't go straight into absolute hiding. Stay strong - you rock, Kuwa!
I like your title owo How'd you choose it?

Buritsu In reply to Neysun [2018-02-09 04:48:50 +0000 UTC]
Oh!! I'm a little bit surprised, I never intend to portray Kuwa as a sympathetic character, so that's very interesting to hear that you actually feel sorry for him and/or like him O__O but that's so cool.. thanks for your feedback!! Yeah, Kuwa is generally considered a villian, but in a way he's a product of his environment, and because of the way in which he was brought up, he legitimately thought he was above other people and that he didn't have to show consideration for the suffering of others. Ah yes! He's very strong... he kind of did go into hiding, in a way, but - because he was really determined to continue fighting for good instead of just vanishing, he is still pretty active xD
Thanks very much for your comments! >w< <333333 (oh, when you asked about the title, were you refering to the title of the story..? ^^)

How he was raised was quite interesting. I remember reading in history there were some cultures that did that, more for religion than for cult (though one could argue on that case ahaha...) The best thing is that he got out of it owo
You're welcome~
Yes, sorry, the title of your story. XD

OMGGGG HE IS SUCH A BISHIE DFKJGSLJTGLSEHGLHSELJRG
Once more: I'll read his bio when I'm back home ;v;
How can you hate him? Look at his face and body... You can't hate that face and body... xD
But maybe I'll find out why and start to hate him after I read his bio, yeah... <3

This is amazing that people think Kuwa is handsome, but he's one of my only male characters who was NOT designed to try to be pretty xD Maybe I just don't like his colours or something... or maybe I'm biased because I've drawn him a lot of times in the past (well before these pics) and they were all so awful and ugly that my memory is tainted X'D
You don't NEED to hate him, but you might. He was mean to Heru >:0
I added milk to my lemon tea and now it has curdled. EVERYTHING IS BAD

xDD really?? Well.. he is really handsome after all X'D
xDDDD you have to renew the images in your memory with more updated Kuwa then!! X//)
>:·(
UUGGHHHH why did you do that???? it sounds so disgusting xDD only waiting until
it was cold and drinking it then would make it worse xDDD

Wahhh----- Another bishie!! I need to book him! Everyone's blonde seemed to be of my most fave, somehow--
And, *cough* Kuwa is... well, the coolest in my eyes right now, esp. when the part about not even law enforcement could defeat him--
Also those Gaia Rod (I call it those, since it almost looked like Gaia and majestic look) is so cool-----

The picture is great! This icy distant look of the character's eyes really creates the cold atmosphere! And you drew the pose really well, I like how he walks on this frozen ground and his steps look graceful and confident. Then I read that he was the villain, who considered himself a deity... yes, your picture of him gives the impression of that kind of a character exactly! I also like the design of the coat, it looks interesting and unusual with those slits on the shoulders. The staff looks cool too : - ) I remember your old picture of this character, but this portrait of him is even better! Well done!
The story of him realizing the truth about who he really was and his willingness to redeem his past deeds is very well-written! It was a great read! Thanks for sharing it! And his dangerous ability is very interesting too! I am surprised that his number is only 87 from 100, though, if he is that powerful. Or do these numbers represent something other than the mage's power level?

Buritsu In reply to Captain-Plunder [2018-02-09 07:00:53 +0000 UTC]
Thank you again!!
Yes!! I imagine this picture is from before Kuwa's "redemption" so he still has a very arrogant and cold look on his face. I'm so glad to hear the story was interesting and well written, that's wonderful!! I really enjoyed writing about him and I think I wrote most of it quickly in one sitting. I know you like villain characters who want to better themselves, so he slightly reminds me of you, haha. Oh yes! The slits in his coat shoulders are because... in my magic universe, ice users love and crave cold weather, so they usually wear light clothing. But I gave Kuwa a giant coat accidentally... so... I made it so he has holes in the fabric to cool him down.. xD
Ahh, the numbers given to them (87 for Kuwa) do not show a rank where 100 and 01 would be on opposite ends. Instead, the individual numbers have meaning, so he inherits the traits of the numbers "8" and "7" , it doesn't matter if the number is high or low. I... am planning to do another big journal to explain this... but the story is so silly that I am hesitant to share it.... but, I think I have to or no one will understand this story.. ^-^;

Yes, I like redeemed villains very much : - ) This is a very cool idea about the ice-magic users, by the way! It seems that even little details in your characters' designs mean something, even those splits. It is great!
And thanks for the explanation about the numbers. It is very interesting too! And it does not seem silly to me, I think this is a very fresh and unusual concept, that the numbers mean something other than rank of the mage : - ) I will be interested to know more, if you decide to post this journal : - )
