Description As Aristo was mentioned in the image 'Blue Rose for Lilith' , I thought now's the time to start introducing him~ This is an early sketch of the character design, eventually I will create a proper character sheet for him. Here's his basic profile:

Name: Aristo
Birthday: 17th March
Sex: Male
Age: 19
Eyes: Light blue
Hair: Blue-Black
Likes: Antiques, classical music, reading, playing piano & violin, Lilith
Dislikes: Interruption, dishonesty
Personality: Easy-going, charming, intelligent, sophisticated

Aristo stumbles across a mysterious girl with red eyes and peachy pink hair, but she is injured and unconscious. Being the gentleman that he is, takes her into his home to heal her. However, this girl wakes up in a place unfamiliar to her and tries to escape. This is how Aristo and Lilith first meet. He lives in a mansion with a pair of twins, a nurse (Mariette-Cherise) and a maid (Isabelle-Violetta). These two are to be introduced later on.

Aristo becomes enamoured with Lilith, and fascinated with her expressionless/emotionless self, does what he can in hopes to break this mechanical 'shell' of hers (but fails at every attempt, there's just no way to invoke any feeling or emotion into her). Despite this, it doesn't stop the boy from being kind to her and giving her endless gifts to try and impress her. Either way, Lilith is totally unmoved by his actions, no matter how charming they are.

This is what Aristo's doll persona looks like at the moment (with a very Gothic Lilith by his side) [link]

My bad.

I like him, too bad people keep mistaking him for the P3 character...I don't actually see -that- close of a resemblance. Persona 1 actually inspired a lot of my ideas way back and now with Persona 3 and 4 it's awkward to see a lot of the same direction, haha.

*ponder* The one nag I'd have is that a calm and collected personality can have some pretty meager chemistry potential with a stoic and emotionless character. From the backstory, he may be better served by playing up the inquisitive possibly absent-minded angle with the danger of him meandering into over-zealous every once in a while.

I'm working on a new picture of Aristo and I've redesigned his look a bit, so hopefully any resemblance to P3's Hero will no longer be present XD;

LOL, I love your description of Aristo and Lilith's relationship, that's exactly what it is! Basically, them being a couple is not really possible, mainly because of Lilith's lack of any emotional response (but that's one of the reasons why Aristo likes her so much haha)

Yeah, the thing that people don't realize with character design is that by the nature of the craft, characters are going to resemble each other and you're going to see a lot of the same archetypes over and over. There's really only so many out there and there's only so much detail a random person can still identify with.

Oh my! I totally confused him with Minato Arisato from Persona 3!! >___<;;

Anyways, nice concept indeed, like his bio too~!
Is his name (by any slightest chance) has to do anything with aristocrat? X3 Sorry if not it just sounded that way...

Great job!

Haha, I realise many people will mistake my original character for the ever popular P3 protaganist since they both have (unintentional) similar designs XD'' Also their names are uncanny, it's creepy...cos I designed my boy waaaay before P3 was released. Yep you guessed right, "Aristo" is from the word "aristocrat". Also just a note, Arisato the character's last name. Minato is his first name.

Haha happens all the time! XD
No worries, It's the way the artists' world goes around!

And yeah I know, Arisato is the last name, many people use it as his first name tho'.

kurokumo In reply to ChariN [2009-03-15 17:54:45 +0000 UTC]

LOL, NO~~! XD Aristo is from the word 'aristocrat' though I can see why you'd think it was from the P3 character (I love his chara design!!). I realise they are also very similar, but honestly I designed Aristo waaay before P3 came out XD
