Kitsunezai

Posting this on a whim

Here's a little Kitsunezai concept

I always felt like the outfit could be really cool if they could've detailed it a lot more.

When looking at the folkloric feel to Dazai's official Kitsune concept, a few things are identifiable. Here's some stuff-:

-He would be over 100, as kitsune are believed to grow more tails only after reaching that age.

-He's a Yako or Nogitune- which are the more 'morally grey' kitsune. Having a tendency to lean towards mischief and are likely to interact with humans.

-white and black coats of fur are rare, but they are present for nogitune.

In Japanese folk and mythos, kitsune can hold one of 13 powers

celestial, wind, spirit, darkness, fire, earth, river, ocean, forest, mountain, thunder, sound, and time

so they often may wear beads around their necks/ on their person to symbolize the elements

they only wear 12 out of the 13 because they exclude the one element the wearer represents.

So Dazai has 12 beads.

It's fun drawing vampires being vampires.

I'll also take the opportunity to sort of finally touch up on Atsushi's age change in the A.U...

If you guys keep up with the character information sheets, you'll see everyone's age/ estimated age. However, while all are identical to canon, one isn't, and that's Atsushi's.

He's the only character I've shifted the age of and did so rather early in concepting.

I've also felt like the initial shift to 19 wasn't good enough for me, so I'm settling on a steady 20 for A.U. Atsushi.

The reason I changed only Atsushi's age is because he will be my main character (properly so, unlike canon BSD). In BSD, Atsushi acts much like a projection type of protagonist. He is discovering the world/ characters/ rules and societal structure alongside the audience. We know nothing, and neither does he, having been sealed away behind the walls and bars of the Orphanage. Which makes canon Atsushi feel naive, impressionable, emotive, reactive, and sympathetic in his underlying sense of innocence when we first meet him, and he only discovers his ideals and identity for himself as the series progresses. I wanted the opposite for A.U. Atsushi. Him being slightly older and Fyodor finding him much faster allows for a construction of character much more deeply cemented. A.U. Atsushi knows who he is, what he stands for, and why. He's not discovering a lot of the outside world, and he isn't impressionable. It felt overall better to have the darker, colder

, and more mellow version of Atsushi in the A.U. be older. That being said, I didn't feel like the rest of the cast needed that same treatment.

I felt like talking about this as it does characterize the difference between canon Atsushi and A.U. Atsushi strongly.

Happy Fool's Day.

I'm about 5 days late now, but he'll take what I give him.

I had to juggle this between a commission and the 4th chapter- besides ArkFenSo concepting.

You all get a treat, I'm sure no one truly envisioned, and that is Nikolai with a somewhat healthy physique, shocking it's understandable. Curtosy of the Fyo!Atsushi A.U. and therefore, of Atsushi's baking skills.

I have more fun stuff on the way, stay tuned.

so whats ark-fen-so about eyes emoji

ArkFenSo is about Shin. Shin Yoshinai, a mysterious prince that popped up with of seemingly nowhere in the ranks of the demon family ruling over the kingdom of Fangs. His lofe amongst the demons in the tense climate between Heaven and Hell.

This is the most over-simplified version. The more you'll find out about Shin, the deeper you will sink. Sink into lies, watching eyes, people with agendas, mercenaries, and the black magic of the Underworld.

Pookie what’s his favorite food and color? I need to know

Shin's favorite human food are brownies.

As for a favorite color, he doesn't have one, though he does like cerulean.

So how is Shin affected by the war? Also, what’s he eating?? 👀

The world of ArkFenSo is split into 4 main accessible realms. The human realm (Earth), Heaven, Hell (split into the main plateau and the Underworld) and the Magik realm.

The main focus of all war and conflict was in hell, between the kingdoms. Wars were held over anything and everything. More often than not the reason being sheer bloodlust and ego.

Though Shin was not yet around for that war-littered world. He had only witnessed 2 wars in his time. One of which he participated in.

I've only had Shin for 3 seconds but if anything happened to him I'd kill everyone in this room and then myself.

Is there a meaning to his name? What kind of demon is he?

Shin's last name is Yoshinai. Taking after the ruling family over the throne of Fangs in the Underworld. Family that Shin is part of.

So now you have Shin Yoshinai

Let's see what you are to do with that~

"Atsushi."

His eyes snapped slightly, refocusing, and lifting his gaze to the russian, who was seated in his desk chair, body facing his screens, though his face wad turned to Atsushi now. That's when he realized he was zoned out in his thoughts and probably missed something Fyodor said...

"Sorry..Dos-san I wasn't.." ...he paused, "I just got lost in thought. "

"I've noticed that much...what were you thinking?" The Russian man's dark gloved hand extended with a butter cookie, which Atsushi took slowly from his fingers..

"It may be a bit uncanny.. but I was wondering about abilities.."

"What about abilities?"

-there's a small snippet of a dialogue. This happened pretty early on still~ The full thing will be posted up on Wattpad. The link to that is in my pinned post.

Fyo!Atsushi A.U. - The Underground Casino

"Turning his gaze forward again, he walked after Sigma through the glowing lights of the casino. The place was typically crowded, and it was in moments like these that he was thankful for his ushanka's ear flaps. All the patrons were caught up in a loud, overbearing, and idealistic world of their own. Most barely noticing the 3 of them pass by, which in heighnsight wasn't a big deal when looking towards himself and Nikolai..as whenever they would hang around here, it wasn't to socialize with the addicts at the roulette tables. But Sigma owned the place, on the other hand, though it seemed to be inconsequential to most of the players at this hour of the night. What a waste of time..."

-Atsushi, fragment from chapter 3
