person Blip is now 25% more dragon. He will also have a second form that will deal with those details on his eyes that comes in later in the story

      -wyi Well I'm teaching myself this and I'm studying other animators to improve. I took some notes from SamTheMLGplayer(that is legit his youtube name) and that's how I found a style that fits me.
      And well well well. I see your doing a trauma story as well ay?
      All I will say is Neeko is from a mythical land. Back then he didn't have such a good life.
      Let's see...:
      Taken away from his parents as a baby.
      Trained to be a guardian for said mythical land.
      Bullied because he was the weakest, and yet the strongest guardian there.
      Physically abused by his commander. I won't spoil the relations between them.
      Mythical land gets destroyed by unknown force, that it seems only he escaped from.
      Hid and sent himself to future via crystal chrysalis, accidentally. If that's his future we still don't know yet.
      Getting amnesia of any events before sending himself there.
      As for Blip now:
      Lost in a icy forest
      Chased by monster out of the continent
      I won't spoil this but there will be a "Circus Episode"
      Nearly killed multiple times by predatorial animals or people
      Kiki is a special case:
      Well... She's basically a god in this universe and can do anything you can think of. HOWEVER
      She experiences fear for the first time when trying to go into Neeko's memories. Not that she can see Neeko's memories, but she just gets a panic attack making her shapeshift into demonic and monstrous things. This also makes her lose control of her powers until she calms down.
      She protects both Neeko and Blip, making sure they don't die. She doesn't intervene in fights unless Neeko or Blip are going to 1000% die in the scenario.

      But yeah that's basically it

          person Neeko has to smile all the time or he will basically go Super Saiyan and strain the hell out of himself. Which is why his gem is dimmer than his sword color. However, he is also genuinely optimistic and has fun doing battle. He's also a jokester and styles on his opponents, when he gets the chance. Neeko is a kid after all

          If you mean Blip, Blip has a hard time trusting anyone. Only reason he trusts Neeko is because Neeko accidently saved his life and he's basically the only family he has. Blip is also living life on a theoretical 1 HP, so he's pretty weak to anything


            I made this in my spare time btw

            blip looks even angrier from this angle

            That's just a deadpan stare just for reference. His eyes dilate a lot more when he shows emotion now.

            i dont know squat 'bout animating/drawing and whatnot, so im not gonna give any good critique- but i will say i think i liked the old neeko face design better.
            also i think the new blip looks cooler but honestly he doesn't look just 1hp anymore.

              INTERNECION Aight that's a lot but uhhh yeah. Mine appears to be more of a slow burn style, where it's full of people wondering about themselves and if they should keep living because it's morally right or not,
              Yours is "Should I keep living, because life is pain". Interesting.

                  -wyi
                  Well Neeko doesn't know about his past life before his amnesia (before he emerged from his crystal chrysalis) fully just yet. He has to find, basically, power sources of the elements, called Nexus Cierite in order to gain his memories back by stabbing his sword into it. The reason why that works is because Neeko's sword is connected to his power therefore connected to his soul.
                  Everytime Neeko finds these incredibly hard to find Nexus Cierites he gains a major fraction his memories back. All of them aren't in order and usually deal with a specific topic. Such as this one close person who abused him, his only friend having his back when things get tough, his time as a guardian, him being surrounded by monsters having to fight his way out. These also relate to the Nexus Cierite element that he gets those memories from.
                  How he takes that is entirely up to him though. Whether he hurts someone else in the process or he is relieved that the memory isn't as bad as the rest. He then has to contemplate whether or not getting these memories is worth it or not. I won't spoil too much, but trust me, it will be.

                  Blip on the other hand is a much different story.

                  Anyway Kiki will never let them die. So yeah they can give up on their quest, but they keep going because what else are they gonna do? Read a book? Even at the part where they get chased down by almost every organization of Cier ever because of the sky beacon Neeko made when he emerged from the crystal in the very beginning

                      person His name is Ghost for a reason and he isn't even my character, so I don't know everything about him. There's now way you are shaking in your boots bro. hah.

                        INTERNECION I try to give my characters a more standard fear. Your character regains what they lose and has no chance of death, and are literally friends with a god. Mine are small even in their own story, a minor speck in an ocean of death and dust. I try to balance a feeling of there being no such thing as a true, final victory. there is no major goal, other than one that is standard for all:
                        Survive, and do what you think is right. I then make these conflict often. Sometimes they choose do what's right and survive, some times they die, and sometimes they do neither. Rogue, who has no memory, barely knows why, and has no way or hope of regaining hers, and yet she still can't stop wondering who she is. She doesn't get small glimpses or flashbacks. I try my best to make it so that there are small victories, nice moments to keep the plot upbeat, but the characters may rest. To avoid a power creep, I make sure that everyone is weak-ish in one way or another.
                        Yours may be better for an epic saga where they save the world, and honestly, those are good.
                        Mine is just an entertaining ordeal. No glory or anything like that, and my characters could be literally anyone. (except rogue because she's literally an escaped experiment but then again we don't actually know who so yeah).
