total time invested into potentially getting this character: 7 hrs (split across 2 days for the 2 pieces) *use left and right keys to navigate *going to add more + I didn't think I needed to shade extreme to make it detailed. I just went for it Khuza would be so cool to be friends with imo I love how this turned out and I’m proud of his character because I actually did a good amount of research on the name and Lao culture. Feel free to correct me if you think I got some of the bits wrong. *psst check it out i textured the outfit* Side note- I interpreted the phrase “dragon hunter” as he is a dragon who hunts, not someone who hunts dragons. Bio: Name: Khuzayma Nickname and Alias: Khuza or Heilong (black dragon) Alias is used in a derogatory way Personality: He is confident and passionate but comes off abrasive. He has a soft spot for his younger sister who is too little to understand he is the "bad omen" of his family. Nationality: Born in Vietnam, but parents are Lao (from Laos) Looks: Tan Asian, red hair (black at birth to a fiery red naturally), red eyes (red from birth, a family trait) Siblings: one little sister named Nāga (nicknamed Jielong for “little sister dragon”. Can be shortened to Jie) Looks (Naga): Black hair (about to turn red), tan but slightly less than than her brother, red eyes (from birth) Background: Khuzayma is the black sheep of his family. The family on his father's side has a trait passed down involving a connection to dragons. More commonly, red dragons. However, Khuzayma is a black dragon; he got a rare, recessive trait thought to be a bad omen. Black dragons' extreme power usually overtakes the wielder and sends them spiraling into rage. If left uncontrolled, the black dragon will consume the wielder by altering their perception slowly, making them more aggressive and uncontrollable, resembling the spirit of the black dragon. When he discovered his own power, he began to isolate himself to avoid the prospect of harming his family. His sister continued to see him, although he was more reluctant to accept her affection. Through years of thinking of himself as the "bad omen" and the black sheep, he worked day in and day out to prove himself and make his family proud of him. Currently, he is 15. I know I would do so much with his lore if I got him
