Everything here is still heavy WIP, but I want to say I'm absurdly happy with him.

Alright so we all assumed that Calbren adopted Sagi and Milly, but this is what I think.

How else do you think that Melodia was eligible for the duchy of Mira? Most royal successions to the thrones in our world state that adopted members of the family aren't eligible for the throne.

We know who Sagi's parents are, but we don't know who Milly's mother is.

Here's what I think.

Milly's mother is Duke Calbren's daughter. Why else would Baelheit go to Mira of all places. It was his wife's home continent. Plus Milly can see her grandfather that way.

Oh wait, one hole in this theory. That would make Calbren and Melodia great-grandfather and great-granddaughter instead...

Milly could be distantly related to Calbren. Like cousins a few times removed. Or granduncle.

Looking back, Melodia gets it from both her grandfathers. Conquering the world with evil. I know she was possessed, but hehe. Look at the rest of her family.

In case you haven’t noticed, I’m WEIRD. I’m a weirdo. I don’t fit in. And I don’t WANT to fit in.

Have you ever seen me without this stupid hat on? That’s weird.

[metaligatr]

anyway that’s my plot summary for baten kaitos origins.

Part 2 of sharing my Baten Kaitos Miis from almost two weeks ago but my SD card reader broke (part 1 over here).

I've already posted a pic of him fully dressed up, but here's Baelheit without his clothes. Design-wise, I think he's one of my favorite Miis - he's very distinctive and cute. He wears a black beret to approximate the hat and it gives him the right silhouette.

The running theme with this batch of Miis is that they all have unusual hats that are absolutely critical to their character designs. Like Baelheit above, I think I got Verus very, very close to his in-game appearance but to date haven't found a suitable hat for him. Slouch beanie, perhaps? I can't control when it'll unlock though.

I've come to appreciate Origins-era Geldoblame. His eyes are sculpted like his talk portrait but unfortunately the bangs cover them up. As a member of the Distinctive Hat Club, he won't look right until the flight attendant cap unlocks for me. I didn't realize, but according to his artbook turnaround he actually has long hair that's pinned up (and a small bun). Doesn't it seem like men in Alfard favor long hair?

I think I kinda hit it out of the park with Shanath. That's straight up just him in Mii form. He has both a bowler hat and a flat cap and I can't decide which approximates his hat better (the bowler hat is slightly too tall and the flat cap only has a brim at the front, not the full length around) so I swap around constantly. Should I make kid Savyna to be on the island with him? She might be lonely as the only kid character, though.

Fadroh is by far the most interpretative Mii on my island, even more so than Folon. I only cared about properly emulating a) the bulk and shape of his hairstyle and b) the slight sneer in his portrait. He's described by NPCs as being highly conventionally attractive and like, "boyishly pretty" so I felt that as long as I hit that vibe, I was doing it right.

The Paramachina Trio (Nasca/Heughes/Valara) will complete the roster but I'm not sure when I'll get around to them.

So I’m drawing Baelheit and I’m using his portrait as ref. I took the color picker tool to see the palette used for his skin.

And...

Baelheit’s skin color is #dead7b
