Character Chaos Meter- Virgo Edition
Notes Under Cut:
This idea came to me as I couldn't believe Masamune and Drake are under the same star sign as Yves. It's even more funny seeing them all together, lol. (Did this out of fun and people are more complex than just their star sign of course.)
Also
You cannot tell me that Drake and Masamune will not be good friends, as in partners in crime. They'll be chaotic together if Masamune did not have responsibilities and the Oda forces to always keep him in check.
Liam and Edgar are a little more tame but they are not to be messed with. Though Liam is more uh "merciful" than Edgar.
Sebastian is just vibing really, if anything he's just observing everyone. He's definitely taking extensive notes on Masumune right now.
WHY AM I HERE!-Yves probably. Poor Baby, he still has to be the reasonable one in the group. This is his brothers all over again.
Sadly I couldn't put Matthias and Robert in here because one's route hasn't been released yet and the other I was not able to play his route before the game shut down.(I am still looking for it though)
This was my piece for the First Time For Everything Ikemen Fan Zine from @ikemen-watch.
So many amazing artists and writers contributed to this zine and it's 100% free so please check it out!!
I have such a soft spot for Ikerev. It was nice to go back and draw this world and these characters. I still love Edgar to this day 🥺
Originally, I wanted to do the prologue scene where Jonah handcuffs Alice (iconic scene and Jonah is not clowned enough for it tbh) but the urge to put Egdar front and center won out. Jonah still made it into the finished product though! Drawing this made me want to get back to drawing ikerev again but the fandom is so dead these days *sigh*. There was this AU comic I never finished, maybe I'll pick that back up.
Anyways, for a zine about first times, ironically, this was my first zine. I got a lot of valuable experience from this and even though this was Lorei and Dice's (the mods) first zine, they did amazing!! They radiated so much love and passion for this project. I feel like it's been a while since there was a community project like this, I'm so glad those two decided to step up. A huge thanks to them for organizing this and thank you for checking out our zine!

Hi. Welcome to a my retrospective on the Red Army outfit designs from the game Ikemen Revolution. This had some spoilers for all of their routes, though I doubt anyone will see this.
Im actually gonna go in a weird order, but have funsies reading this
Zero
His outfit is simple, and compared to the other Red Army outfits (with the obvious expection of Kyle) is sort of messy. On top of this he also has many personal identifications on him. Unlike the Black Army, where there tends to be more personal touches on uniforms, the Red Army tends to be much of the same pattern. Choker like collar with roses and stems off of the rose then wrapping around the collar, sword on side (excluding Kyle, I wont count Jonah as excluded since dialogue hints at him still carrying a sword even though he doesnt have it on his art... for whatever reason?),
Either way, he has four markers on him that makes his outfit stand out,
A. Braclet
B. Tattoo
C. Yellow hair strand
D. "Civillian" clothes. (As id put it)
Braclet is asymmetrical. Tattoo is from his past as well as the hair strand. Civillian clothes (t-shirt under the button-up).All in all, ill get into this more detailed later, but Zero is on a borderline. A borderline between being a civillian and being officially a part of the red army.
Kyle Ash
Kyle ash is messy and disshelved and also has a couple personal items (stethoscope and pen which are unique to him, red army wise at least). But honestly, besides that he doesnt have much I want to talk about right now.
Jonah Clemence
Jonah has a lot more uniqueness to his design than I'd expect. The little cape (or whatever you want to call it), the sash. Honestly, I think that the cape and sash almost just serve to make him look bigger and taller than he is. The cape would give his shoulders a broader look and the sash would serve to elongate his legs making him seem taller. This connects to his history of getting bullied for his weak appearance.
Lancelot Kingsley
LANCELOT!!!! Woot woot. Or smth. Anyway. I honestly dont have much to say about his design, i thought id have more.
I dont like the lil leg part off his main coat. Its extremely awkward to look at and I pretend like it doesnt exist. It bothers me greatly.
Besides that, red cape helps hide his one arm (ifykyk), but I also think it is probably a piece of the King's uniform that would be passed down through the generations.
The sash i think serves to make him look accomplished than anything, as such sashes are commonly given to the winners of certain contests.
I do like his pose however. One hand over the sash, one hidden/obscured. It kind’ve gives the look like someone who's awkward to be there, or believes they shouldnt. He's hiding his "accomplishment" (the sash) and even if it wasnt intentional it gives him the look of being offputted, like he doesnt truly want to be in the position he has but is dedicated to the Red Army, its values and traditions, so he continues to carry the torch regardless.
Edgar Bright
Hi! Im biased. This is my fav and this is where most of this retrospectives word count is going. To be frank, Edgar doesnt have that unique of a design. Its the actual epitome of red army, it has no personal items on it, no real differences from any of the others, and is nearly perfectly symmetrical. It doesn't stand out. But that was the point.
If you've read Edgars route, you will understand this better. If you havent, A. Read it. B. I will try to explain.
Edgar isnt allowed to have personal items, or really any life at all outside of the red army. His outfit reflects this. His only solace, only personal touch is the gloves, that is the only unique piece of clothing he has. But honestly? I dont count that as unique at all. They're paperwhite and are never stated to have anything unique about them. They're gloves. They hold no sentimental value, they simply serve as a means for Edgar to, in a sense, "protect" himself and more potently, others. He doesn't wish to dirty them with his filth, the blood on his hands.
Here is what ive been wanting to talk about this entire time, the collars of the Red Army uniforms. Theyre simple in design but I think the most important part about them is how theyre presented. Edgar, Jonah, and Lancelot have them fully closed, Kyle and Zero do not.
I believe the reason behind Zero's is because as I said, he is still on a borderline. Trying to decide whether to fully commit to the Red Army, its traditions and values, or to have his own values and ideals. His is still open, but its upright and close to closing, it is on a middle ground.
Kyles is open wide while tilted slightly up. He is realistically the only person in the red army who is truly free. Kyle wouldnt be afraid to leave the Red Army, he respects its traditions but doesnt always adhere to them. He doesnt always follow the social hierachy or listen to his superiors. His collar is open because he is. Kyle could do what he wants in life and still be happy with his decisions regardless because he is not tied down to the Red Armys traditions and values.
Edgar, Jonah, and Lancelot at different from the other two. All of their collars are closed.
Jonah and Lancelot's collars are completely closed. Theyre tied down to the Red Armys traditions and ideals. They're tied down to their families and their expectations.
Edgars collar deserves more attention. Its the only one which is completely symetrical. (Jonah and Lancelots collars roses are different on either side, though hard to notice). Edgar's roses are directly mirrored from eachother. Edgar is also the only collar that has something hanging off of it, which I like to call the dog tag. Off of that tag is chain-like things. I think the entire point of Edgar's collar is to mimic a dogs. Which, if you've played his route, makes perfect sense. He is the Red Armys dog and his design reflects as such. He has no personal items. He is completely tied down to the red army, his family, their values and traditions. The gloves shows he can break some of them, but that he has no real control to ever get completely free.
Anyway lmk if any part of this fandom is still alive, bye bye 🥰

꒰ঌ Lancelot Kingsley ໒꒱
Lancelot is always the big spoon. He just likes holding you tight. He honestly prefers falling asleep facing each other, with you having your head on his chest or under his chin. He caresses your back gently and leaves soft kisses on your head as you begin to drift off to sleep... Although more often than not he falls asleep before you.
He used to have some trouble falling asleep before, but now that he has you in his life, he finds it easier to do so, specially when he holds you close to his body. He sleeps on his side, and he doesn't move much in his sleep unless something is bothering him or he's having a nightmare, so he'll most likely wake up in the same position.
── .✦
꒰ঌ Jonah Clemence ໒꒱
Jonah loves holding you, but he also likes being held. He likes being taken care of for sure, while still feeling like he takes care of you at the same time. Initially this took a while for him to admit, but once he finally asked for you to hold him and cuddle him, he finally realized there was nothing for him to be ashamed of.
He likes it when you hold him from behind, but he also has a preference for falling asleep facing you, so when you hold his head close to you he practically melts onto your body. It just feels better, to sleepily open his eyes before sleep consumes him and see the face he adores so much. He also sleeps on his side. Before you two started sleeping in the same bed, he used to hug one of the many pillows he has on his bed. He moves a little in his sleep, but not too much.
── .✦
꒰ঌ Edgar Bright ໒꒱
Edgar wasn't much of a cuddler at first despite liking physical contact with you, but over time he grew to really enjoy it. He loves being the big spoon and holding you from behind. He just loves the feeling of his body pressed against yours and following its shape, wrapping his arms around your waist and pulling you tighter against him. It just makes him feel comfortable.
He often gives you gentle kisses on your neck or hair before setting his head down next to yours. He's really into nuzzling your hair and pressing his nose against it. Again, it took some time for him to fully enjoy cuddling, but now that he does, he has to be extreme and be fully pressed against you. Before sleeping with you though, he used to sleep on his back. Another static sleeper, he doesn't move at all.
── .✦
꒰ঌ Zero ໒꒱
Zero always loved cuddling! When you two started sleeping together he always at the very least draped his arm over you. His favorite is probably when you two nap and you lay on top of him. The weight of the person he loves on top of his body just feels... comforting to him. He always has an arm around you at all times to keep you close and safe, he's rather protective after all.
Occasionally though, he likes being the one who's held. Not as often as Jonah, but he does like the feeling occasionally, to be the one feeling safe and protected with you. Not that he doesn't already! But this just adds an extra layer. When sleeping alone, he usually sleeps on his stomach. It just feels nicer even if it's not the best for his posture. He moves quite a bit at the start right when he falls asleep, but after that he'll remain pretty still.
── .✦
꒰ঌ Kyle Ash ໒꒱
Kyle isn't a very cuddly person. He likes physical contact, but it's also not something he desperately craves. Usually he just sleeps on his back with one of his arms out where you'd lay your head on, and he'd obviously allow to cuddle up to him, but he himself wouldn't be the one doing it. Sometimes he'll turn his head and press a kiss to yours, but he won't do much more than that.
While he was sleeping by himself, he just slept in whatever position felt better for him, usually it would be on his back with his head to the side, or fully on his side. If he sleeps on his side with you now, he'll mostly just let you do whatever. If you want to cuddle up to him, he'll let you, of course, and at most he'll drape his arm over you. He moves occasionally in the middle of the night but it's also nothing drastic.
