girl help . Featherman has invaded my brain . hel p
brain thoughts below the cut aourgh . name and design-related primarily
Takeshi Hidaka
the kanji i chose for this guy basically mean "valiant" and "flying hawk" because 1. how much more protagonist can you get than Valiant 2. hurhur hawk AGJALLAKLAHKGSLHF
i wanted him to exude Protagonist in general as he is the leader, while still making him seem relatable—so that's how his design came about AKDKAND— his hair is also the Bird™iest aside from Owl's because i think it's funny
Kento Higurashi
the kanji in his name mean . "dark one" and I Think Something Like "sunset" because c'mon he's Condor he has to be The Dark One LASKKAAK
because i am cringe and free i made him kin-able for Akechi WHEEZE also BlaRe scar exchange. Because I Can. do it for the Shuake projection yaoi. but yeah i wanted him to be dark but not OHHH HE'S EVIL because he is Still on the team even with the conflict and struggles he faces
Shiori Kokusawa
her kanji mean something like "clever guide" and "swan stream", because she has The Braincell and is also Swan.
i wanted her to feel very Cool And Collected because despite swans being known for beauty she just . Feels Like She Would Be That. like she just Feels like she would be the Smart Strategic One. but it's okay she's still very gongeous
Kanami Uzura
the kanji in her name mean "beautiful love" (or . love and beautiful) and "pheasant" because Argus Can You See The Trend By Now .,
i designed her with your cliche blonde cutesy gal in mind since Featherman R specifically seems to be a late 80's kinda show, but i wanted to make her more than Just the cliche blonde cutesy gal, so she's the designated ass-kicker who will destroy if you blink for a moment too long (also her hair being very long despite the Feathermen having helmets is a playful nudge at media that does that irl)
Masato Yomi
last but not least, our funky owl guy! his kanji mean "correct/proper and wise" and like . idk how this would translate to English aside from the direct words so "night and see" . because there was nothing with owl. but that is okay he gets His Entire Name to be owl-related
i wanted him to be the emotional support, like if there's infighting or someone has Emotional Problems they would go to him and he would give them deep wisdom in a peculiarly light-hearted way, like he'll be like "your heart is broken, yes. but that means it can be fixed." while patting their shoulder with a nonchalant smile FJNSJFJSJ because of this everyone is scared shitless when he gets serious/loses hope because If He Of All People Is No Longer Smiling It Must Be Really Fcking Bad
OH ALSO!!! wow he gets three (3) paragraphs lucky fellow. i gave him the little hair antennae to make him look owl-y. also i thought of Larxene while doing those and now i can't look at him without thinking he's her distant cousin help me
ANYWAY . thank you for reading my brain thoughts i like Featherman i think we should make a Featherman fanzine or s//GUNNED DOWN
WHY did they call joker's featherman costume Feather DOOKA (as in CHICKEN or perhaps even a TURKEY) if the suit is still clearly red EAGLE !! this is My Ridiculous Nitpick
