Daiki

Instructions

space/click/arrow keys Daiki is one of my favorite characters! Heres a little about him: Daiki is quiet, observant, and brutally honest. He has a sharp mind and tongue, as he often makes cutting remarks, or he may expose uncomfortable truths. He bases his insults purely on logic, which is where his values lie. He doesn't believe in feelings or emotions (heavily influenced by his backstory). Daiki is usually portrayed with a scowl or annoyed expression, or sometimes just a straight face. But he's pretty expressive! He also loves naps ^^ So one of his key beliefs are that sympathy is a distraction. It's not that he doesn't want to be friendly. He thinks he has to, because the world is cruel, and he has to be crueler. Backstory: Daiki was raised in a small, quiet household. The only members being him and his mother. She was a kind, gentle woman and she raised him to be thoughtful and compassionate as well. And so, as a child, Daiki reflected her warmth. He was friendly and optimistic. An unusally cold winter hit them one year. Hungry, Daiki's mother was forced to leave the hardly insulated house, and forage for food. Daiki went with her despite her protests, because he couldn't ever let her go alone. She was all her knew. They didn't get far. The cold was brutal and Daiki's mother ended up passing. Daiki's childhood friend, Riku, ended up finded them. It was too late for the mom, but he took Daiki and brought him to the safety of an organization Riku had joined years prior. After his mother's passing, Daiki became quieter, more guarded. Be used sarcasm and honesty as a shield. He has come to learn that in his world, the philosophy was "eat or get eaten". There was no room for sympathy, he couldn'y stop to think about kindness. And he knows that his mother would never approve of who he is today, but he struggles to live up to all she represented, because in reality, he's just scared and he wants to defend himself. In the organization, his intellegence, sharp perception, and blunt realism made him a valuable member. Design Notes: -He wears his mother's old scarf as a memento of her, and he's very defensive of it. -The beads around his waist are his tool for fighting. He isn't an offensive person in terms of combat. He's calculative and lets his comrads handle the brute force (Daiki isn't the strongest) and when he sees an opening or opportunity, he swoops in and captures them in his beads. -He has pointed ears and earrings! eaarrrrriiinnngggsss! -sleeveless black turtleneck -puffy grey pants that fan out. -Boots -Mole on HIS left cheek. To us, it's on the right. -Middle part, a chunk of his hair on the left is slightly darker
