Vex Ci 'Shyoth, a strange man that lives in the woods. Most people know nothing about him, because he isn't very social. He's a 34 year old man with plenty of knowledge, none of which is about socializing, given he's extremely anti-social. He has unique powers, unlike most. He's able to shapeshift. well, kinda. it's just an illusion — he appears as someone else, when in reality he looks the same. His actual power is to manipulate shadows, as well as the mind.
However he barely ever uses his powers. No reason in particular, he just doesn't want to.
Being alone in the woods gave him plenty of time to master archery when hunting for food, or just for fun. He enjoys being an archer a lot, as well as woodworking. He made his own bow and makes quite a bit of arrows, making a lot of new ones, because he tends to lose them.
He was born with a lazy eye, he's also completely blind in that eye, which only sometimes affects his archery.
As a kid he was a tiny bit social, still being Introverted, he had a few friends, really only one kept in touch with him.
Speaking of,
Azul Arcorreo, also mysterious, just not as much. He's a 33 year old man, and very outgoing. He loves talking to people, although people don't like talking to him. He's often ridiculed about his appearance, which does make him self-conscious, but he tries to not let it bring him down. He readily makes friends with anyone that wants to be friends with him. Even if you're disturbed by his looks, a few minutes of talking to him and you'll love him, due to his bright personality and beaming positivity.
He lives in the woods with Vex Ci, whom he calls 'Vexie.' He and Vex Ci have been friends since childhood and now they're even married. Although he has to wear his ring via a string he has around his neck, since he's missing his left arm. No, they do not share a last name. They couldn't decide whose name to go with, so they just said 'fuck it'.
He's actually the one that has a job — he's a tech guy, helping people out with broken or damaged electronics. He does this while Vex Ci takes care of their kid.
Chip 'Shyoth-Arcorreo, Vex Ci and Azul's adopted son. A poor boy that was kidnapped at a young age, so young that he didn't even know his original name. He was experimented on by a mad scientist. He's 14 and he's very shy, but loves to socialize.
His skin is hard and very brittle, cracking and breaking easily, because of this he is constantly in pain, unable to do simple things that a lot of people can do, Vex Ci and Azul help him with really everything.
He can't wear much clothes, really only ever wearing a sweater from Vex Ci, a pair of shorts, which can't be seen because of how long the sweater his on him, and a pair of slippers.
During the, with lack of a better word, 'care' of the mad scientist, he was abused, losing some teeth because of it. The experiment that made his skin the way it is also caused him to lose his hearing. Because of this, he was given hearing aids, which Vex Ci had replaced them.
Vex Ci was the one that thought of the name Chip, it was just a nickname at first, not knowing what to call him, but Chip really liked the name, it made him happy.
Despite being in a constant state of pain, he's actually very happy, enjoying life with his dads.
This is the first picture of the year, and I love how it came out! Redesigning them only made my love for the characters stronger. Characters I've had for years, nearly five, and I never plan on retiring them.
Here are the original designs
