Black Rain
Drowning in Art Requests and Comissions
This is for a future webcomic.
I'm still in the very early stages of rough planning so any help or suggestions would be appreciated, especially with the personality.
Anything marked red are names I'd love different variations for (aka. they probably suck so any other names you think would be cool sounding would be awesome to hear)
**Pictures will be added later on. My tablet is currently being a bitch**

CHARACTER ONE
________________________________________________
Takeshi Kei
Name: Takeshi, Kei/Kai
Meaning Behind Name:
Kei; there are multiple meanings depending on the written kanji. He has chosen ‘respect’ among the others as he considers respect the basis of relationships and thinks all the other meanings are lame and girly.
Kai; forgiveness. Due to the constant confusion people have over his name, he goes by either Kei or Kai.
Takeshi; fierce warrior/military, martial.
Age: appears to be around 12 physically with the forced muscle composition of an adult.
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Unknown. He has yet to show any interest in either gender/doesn’t care enough for romantic relationships.
Nationality: Japanese
Relationships:
Personality:
Kei is often described as the ‘little devil'. Some have often described him as charming, carefree, boisterous, and charismatic, finding that words can be just as effective as using a gun, but in the end, choosing a gun because it's so much more badass and fun.
He still retains a sense of childish curiosity and impulsivity. It's almost a talent to be as horribly reckless as him. Despite the chaos that ensues, however, success is...often...achieved (as inefficient as his so-called ‘plans’ can be). He’s an action junkie and will purposely patronise and tease a potential threat to make a situation more blown up or interesting. He’s known for his incredibly confident, determined and brave attitude as well, and his fearless views have bitten him in the ass more than a few times, whether or not by karma or by those around him.
Something that’s often annoyed Damien is his laziness and rebellious lacklustre enthusiasm towards things he thinks isn’t worth his time. This can range anywhere from cleaning up after himself to potentially helping an old lady save her kitten. Whether or not he’s roped into it, he’ll always find a way out or at least, find a situation he considers to be ‘intriguing’.
Kei can be very level headed and overly relaxed, even in times of absolute danger. He never seems to get angry or panicked, as though he sees everything as a game and this has brought upon some tension every now and again, especially when the situation requires some form of seriousness and maturity. If it wasn't for these flaws he would be a fantastic leader, and fairly fair too. He has a talent for running groups, taking the initiative when no one else wants to, handling money, negotiating, organising, and forming strong relationships. Damien and Klaus realise however that something isn't quite right about him, and although they view him as a childish little boy who likes ruining things, they also understand that he may be a lot smarter than how he looks or makes himself out to be.
But there are times where even he will often snap that rock hard exterior and break down in emotional exhaustion. This can result in him showing very immature spouts of anti-social and grumpy behaviour as though he were sulking or throwing a tantrum like a five-year-old. Even he isn't free from normal twelve-year-old tendencies. He also refuses to admit weakness and is horribly stubborn about not crying or 'burdening others' with his potential negative feelings as he believes that's what a leader is supposed to do.
Beyond this, he appears to lack sympathetic thought but attempts to make up for this with an unwavering loyalty to those who he respects and respect him back. His friends are very family based, bonded through 'blood', and because of this, betrayal isn't an option and to him, is considered the worst crime one can commit. He prides himself on making sure his friends and family are safe, almost to the point of being obsessive about it when he feels danger is lurking. Despite his slightly annoying personality, people have found themselves drawn to his hyperactive internal clock constantly pushing him forwards into the future and he isn't afraid to leave people behind if necessary. He refuses to carry baggage or grudges, and so, he’s normally the crutch, the being to help other people instead of the other way around.
Likes:
-Pins/Buttons (he collects a new one to put on his backpack in every new city he goes to).
-Eating/food (he eats like a pig from all the calories he burns off on a daily basis and will get very cranky very fast if he doesn’t at least have a steak or two)
-Rollerblading
-Soccer
-City/urban settings
-Money
-Photography
-Good alcohol
Dislikes:
-Boring situations (aka. predictable situations)
-Loud/Annoying People (ironically, people who are like himself)
-Being confined to very small areas.
-Being controlled by other people.
-He despises being lied to or betrayed.
-Being told what to do by those he considers to be 'lame'.
-Schooling in general. The only thing he wants to count is the money in his pocket.
Habits/addictions:
Soul Records:
Himura, Ryuu - yakuza oyabun (Hisuino Association)
Date of Birth - Monday, March 20th 1956
Date of Death - October 23rd, 2016
Cause of Death - bloodloss → cardiac arrest (multiple gunshot wounds); visible lesions on the face.
Semi-Antemortem Injuries: blunt force bruising on torso and skull → broken nose, left leg and shoulder, fractured eye socket and collarbone.
Occupation: Due to his current age, he isn’t yet allowed to apply for a government job but is allowed to take board jobs (deals and requests set up by citizens. These are normally smaller jobs, or jobs either deemed un-organizable or black market deals).
-Black Market Deals are requests applied under the knowing of the government. They’re often disguised as something very light in the city job records but are twisted by the owners as they’re shipped to different organisations of their true intentions.
Youth Affiliation: The Immortals

Age: appears to be around 12 physically with the forced muscle composition of an adult.
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Unknown. He has yet to show any interest in either gender/doesn’t care enough for romantic relationships.
Nationality: Japanese
Relationships:
- Damien - a young man under the care of 'foster grandparents’ who work with the Body Retrieval service. He was the one who had originally found Kei a few kilometres beyond the Void Borders (although he was also the one who suggested to leave him be due to the risks of having him around). After being recorded in the City's Soul Records and meeting with ‘God’ for his papers and home assignment--whom found Damien to be a ‘proper fit’ for a foster family (in actuality he just found it funny that Damien was so annoyed by Kei and thought it would be interesting to see what would happen if they were forced to live in the same household)--he was swiftly placed with the Gould's. They have now become best friends although some may compare their relationship to a mother and their child.
- Klaus - **to be decided later on. There's so many different factors to bring in with him since he's not originally around the boys or within the group so**
- Christian ‘Blue’ - Damien’s hobby teacher and big brother figure to the three boys, he would often meet up with them if they required a ride, needed to talk, or if they needed help with work of any kind. He owns a small tattoo and repair shop in town.
- Grandpa Julius and Grandma Marie - Damien and Kei’s foster grandparents. They feed them, school them whenever they can and discipline them if they’re too rowdy. They have a very tranquil life and live in a small fish shop on the docks. Grandma Marie manages the ships and local imports, while Grandpa Julius works two jobs, doing the house chores and working for the BRS when there’s a slot available.
- Face: Kei, like all Asians, has a fairly rounded face and pointy chin, with narrow, almond-shaped golden green eyes and thin yet fairly childish looking lips. His eyebrows are thin and long while his nose is button shaped. People have often time described him as cute due to his chubby baby cheeks. He is considerably self-conscious about this as he believes it ruins any possibility of intimidating potential ‘business partners’ or threats in general. His hair is incredibly thick, with pointy bangs and long side strands that shape his face. In correct lighting, it can look almost blue but it is naturally a cool raven black.
- Body: Kei is around 5’1” and 144 pounds. He’s in great shape but sometimes get comments from doctors on how he needs to tone down on the weights due to medical reasons (there are multiple health concerns to someone of his stature lifting such heavy objects and conducting harsh workouts). He pays for this with intense bruising, limb/muscle pain and there have been times where he’s actually dislocated joints and broken bones. He’s missing his pinkie on his left hand and has visible scarring along his body.
- Clothing: Kei’s main outfit normally consists of hoodies, formal shirts and form-fitting cargo pants depending on what’s available, however, he has a very simple outfit he prefers to wear and will re-wear if he considers it still clean (even then he may still wear it as he believes cologne is the magic spray to mask any scent). This very special outfit consists of an indigo blue sweater with two parallel thin orange stripes going down on either side of the zipper (this is normally kept unzipped to around his belly button or so), maroon thin cargo pants, black running shoes with a red stripe going above the sole, and a backpack covered in different patches and buttons he’s bought through his journeys. The necklace he normally keeps with him is a simple silver chain with what appears to be a modified, unfamiliar button he found when he first 'arrived'.
Personality:
Kei is often described as the ‘little devil'. Some have often described him as charming, carefree, boisterous, and charismatic, finding that words can be just as effective as using a gun, but in the end, choosing a gun because it's so much more badass and fun.

-Schooling in general. The only thing he wants to count is the money in his pocket.
Habits/addictions:
- Redbull. He needs to drink at least one can every day or else he refuses to function.
- He’ll drink alcohol if he can, but Damien or the grans normally catch him and give him a good one-two as a result. He’s determined otherwise.
- When he’s thinking, he needs to do something with his hands, whether it’s playing with his hair, twirling a pencil through his fingers or even folding laundry.
- Before he goes to bed he checks up on everyone at least once and then double checks to make sure everything is locked. If he’s paranoid about it, he’ll wake up at the same time every night to do the same thing. It’s become such a habit that he’ll do it without thinking and almost sleepwalk.
- Following this, he also refuses to go to sleep first. Doesn’t matter how tired he is.
