Description Hellz YES!
I have to wake up in 5 hours but I don't care.
I FINALLY finished the layout for my Ryou's descendant!
Here's my Ryou: (Sho's great-great-great-great-grand-daddy)
And here is the first page of his story:

Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to Shou Akihara.
Age: 16 years old (looks 19-20)
Height: 6'2"
Hobbies: Singing, playing piano/composing, videogames and is a BIG history buff.
Occupation: 2nd year of highschool & sings lead in a band.

Personality: Shou is both very intelligent and very dumb at the same time. He acts his age (dumb teenager) and is very cheerful and bouncy but can also be very serious and organized when prompt. This contradiction in themes is very prominent in Shou's personality. He's very outgoing, a flirt, is cocky and can be a bit of a jerk at times (total opposite to Ryou) but has strong values in what he feels is important. (which leads people to misjudge him a lot) He attaches dependently on his family to know what to do and dedicates himself to their well-being. He can get that dark feeling of being lonely every once and a while too so his heart is heavily guarded. Because of this, he indulges in superficial things to not let people in.

Interests: He learned to play piano at a young age but prefers to sing... sometimes combining the two. He is addicted to Japanese history and figures that if his band doesn't make it, he'd be happy as a history teacher. He knows quite a lot about his family's ancestry. It was the idea of Ryousuke's legacy that got him through the death of his mother. Because of this loss, he places a lot of importance to family and has a younger sister (Hanako) whom he is very affectionate with and that he protects dearly. (even if she's often the one taking care of him) He feels indebted to his hard-working father and tries to earn his respect. He does have his share of random one night stands but has never had a steady girlfriend. He also doesn't kiss on the lips the girls he sleeps with, saying that he: "Only does that with people he loves,". Other than that he loves music (mainly rock & pop) and loves playing videogames. He's particularly good at rhythm games (guitar hero, Sing Star, DDR, etc.) and at fighting games. He's a terrible shot at shooters though and needs to have his sister around to play survival horror because zombies creep him out. LOL

Weapons: He inherited Ryousuke's wakizashi swords and was taught the style of fighting needed to use them (Tekubi Yaiba Ken Ryu (Wrist Blade Sword Style) ) because it had become a family tradition that the eldest son learn that style. If there was only girls born to that family then the man wanting to marry into it, would have to learn it.

Details: His last name is different because of marriages in his family & other secret details (if all goes well). He uses wrist bands for the sword style. And to cover up scars. He also wears 1 yen coins as piercings instead of 1 mon coins. 3 eyebrow piercings: 1 on the right (his right) and 2 on the left. (His eyebrows are short and go to half of his eyes.) Head is shaved on the bottom portion. His belt has the symbol of the Tokugawa, an important Japanese historical family.

That's about it!

Thankies.
I can't wait to draw him in concert clothes eventually.
Though I can't ignore my adorable Ryou either.
Ah~ Why did my brain have to give me ANOTHER character to obsess over?

Fatal-Drug In reply to BurningArtist [2011-11-29 03:19:32 +0000 UTC]

Haha! IDK! You're cheating on one character with the other. Tsk! xD


BTW how does Sho fit into the story? I know he's a descendant of Ryou, so does it mean the story's gonna switch back between the times?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

BurningArtist In reply to Fatal-Drug [2011-11-29 04:36:17 +0000 UTC]

I'm not cheating! D: (well... maybe a little )
But they're so different in personality that my brain gets into a different mood when I do.

Ryou's so very sure of who he is and what he must do. He's a straight arrow with a mission and is not prone to any sort of ego trips, not on his looks or his wealth. He's humble and he's out to prove himself and the only thing the moves him from his mission is his feelings for a certain girl. Ryou's so sweet and so in love that I get a different atmosphere and it's so... ^//_//^ he's honorable, protective and gentile.

Sho is still sort of drifting in his life and is just living in the moment... and he's is just looking for something to hold on to and to cherish whether it's his place in the world or his devotion to the people he cares about. The only thing he really shares with Ryou is his desire to protect and attaches dependently on his family to know what to do. The way he looks was Sho's cry for attention to his father in the search to be validate. He can get that dark feeling of being lonely every once and a while too so his heart is heavily guarded so instead he indulges in superficial things to not let people into his heart.

...that kind thing. lol.
(My brain goes into overdrive... especially when I find songs that compliment the characters.)
The songs that make me think of Sho: [link] (some character plot points were inspired by this song) - [link] (General character song) Imagining Sho performing this: [link] (I minagines the videoclip of this one. = [link] )

The songs that make my think of Ryou: Feelings for Kidami = [link] - [link] - (If he gets rejected) = [link]

lol. I have fluffier songs for Ryou. *^_^* I just imagines his feeling for Kidami so be the most intense he's ever had. Kyaaa, can't wait to write it

And no, it won't for a while. It's just that Kidami has a descendent and I went into the fantasy of what Ryou's might be.
I mean... if they get together (who knows) I have a back up plan for that too. >_< Though, that would make him Miwa's distant cousin... which would be really cute. XD (OMG, Kido (Kidami's maker) see's this she'll think I'm crazy. O_o

Fatal-Drug In reply to BurningArtist [2011-11-29 05:26:40 +0000 UTC]

I actually went to every single link. XD I love those song. And yeah, I noticed Ryou's songs are fluffier. XD That's adorable~ You should get a cute GF for Ryou! //>u
You know... judging from Sho's personality, he might be cute with a girl who is kind of like Ryou. Someone who knows what she wants and is sure of herself, but maybe not out to prove anything, because she's content with who she is. Maybe a girl who likes to read a lot and likes children or something, but isn't afraid to punch someone if they're being a douche? xD

^ Just throwing ideas out there. LOL

BurningArtist In reply to Fatal-Drug [2011-11-29 12:08:36 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I have to romantic goals for Shou just yet. He's too new. lol
Plus he has to learn a few things before getting involved with someone. He's younger than Ryou when we meet him (by like 5 years) so he has time to figure things out.

Man, my brain really has no restraint.

Fatal-Drug In reply to BurningArtist [2011-12-02 00:32:14 +0000 UTC]

So Shou is just a random idea you came up with, but isn't really in the main story at all? xD

lolol he sleeps with girls w/ no problem but he diesn't kiss them xD that's kinda cute/funny xD

I'm totally blown away by your backgrounds every time, srsly.

hehe, his personality kinda reminds me of kuro's character the outgoing, cocky, flirt part

BurningArtist In reply to kidokaproject [2011-11-26 14:34:07 +0000 UTC]

Sho's a bit of an odd ball though. Like a split personality between being more serious (wants to maybe be a teacher, is very family oriented) and wild (with his way of dressing & his band/sleeping around) so the whole sex but no kissing almost suits him. -_-; I need to edit that also into: "doesn't kiss anyone" so that if you get a kiss from him (even a friendly one) it really means something in regards to how he feels about you. When he gets into a history rant he sounds like he really knows his stuff which is another oddball thing about him. lol

Though don't think I have abandoned Ryou-chan! D: *And his love for Kidami X3*
I'll probably post both the next 2 pages together so in my next update of the comic, you'll get your first cameo of Kidami. =3
Ah~ My brain has been overflowing with ideas for BOTH those two guys but I have to stop myself from jumping from one to the next or else or else I'll never get things done. -_-
