7 and 19 for vita <3

7. What is an aspect of their appearance that you like the most?

I love his horns a lot, I'm pleased with the shape n texture I gave them, but his eyes are a big charm to me too, since I think it speaks to his boldness to show his candy-reds openly.

19. What is your general favourite thing about the character? What is your least favourite?

I like that he is so staunch in his beliefs, entirely unmovable in his way of thinking, and I just like playing with his mindset. He's selfish in a way he considers to be ultimately selfless, considers everything he does to be his burden to bear for the benefit of others... and yet, his philosophy isn't to help people, but to hurt the 'right' ones.

i forgor in the first ask i sent for him but 18 for vita too

18. Does the character have other characters connected to them? Do you have a family tree and “offscreen” connections made up for them, or do they exist in a vacuum purely for the purpose of the story?

He has some small connections, like being associated with Oda in a friend-of-a-friend kind of way, another one of my trolls (Momo) is his ex, and then, of course, he's met and interacted with three of your guys by now in Wil, Airi, and Leu.

He definitely doesn't exist in a vacuum; he's just a bit socially awkward and not much of a people person. To interact with him beyond a casual level, he has to either feel the need to keep an eye on you or be genuinely fascinated by you.

1 and 17 for the wet paper towel (jules) <3

What was the original thought that led to the creation of this character?

I saw This Post and was instantly struck with the inspiration/want for a guy who did experiments in a sick as hell tower lab and he just sort of evolved from there pretty quickly, \o/

Are there any motifs or symbols associated with the character? How are they represented, in their design, personality or in some other way?

You already know all of this, but he's represented by butterflies and time/hourglasses very heavily, but blood is also a big symbol as well.

They're not super obvious just based on his physical (clothed) appearance, but he does always carry a pocketwatch, has a butterfly wing tattoo over his wing scars, and his blood and eye color are different than what they originally were.

1 and 12 for odarem? :D

1. What was the original thought that led to the creation of this character?

I wanted Julius to have an ex-pitch from the fleet- Kurt had the place of his ex-red sorted for me, but I had no one to fill the other spot at the time, and eventually, I got so impatient I decided to do it myself, thus Oda was born.

Not to mention, I was deeply into the game The Mortuary Assistant at the time, so something involving the dead and ghosts (or demons, in the game's case) came to mind for a character i wanted to make!

12. Do you have a playlist for the character? What songs do you associate with them and why?

I do! Change for You by Friday Pilots Club and Unalive by Braden Ross are some of the most Him songs on it, to me, but I Hope I'm Not Sick by Loveless is also a really solid one, <3
