The Spectral Brigade

Hi hi! Time for another weekly post (I'm doing my best).

Something I've tried to do on the Toumayhem twitter account is release some character profiles each time a new character sprite was completed. What I forgot to do, however... was to also do it here. So I'm doing it now! In batches, and with some fresh tidbits of information as a little treat for those who know these kids already.

Let's start with the main gang, shall we?

He's just a little boy.
I really like timid protagonists who slowly grow into brave, compassionate people. I hope Yuki's growth will be fulfilling for you. At the start, he always tries his best to avoid inconveniences... his hate for conflicts is what made him a Ghost, after all. His relationship with his mother is also aaaall about avoiding conflict. As for his likes, I thought it would've been nice to give him a niche hobby so he's very into sci-fi.

Take a good look at his room in the demo! What's on his nightstand...?

If you said "the Japanese edition of Second Foundation, by Isaac Asimov" you're right!

It's also a big favourite of mine. He also shares his birthday with Kotaro Uchikoshi, one of my favorite video game writers, well-known for the Zero Escape series. Just a little easter egg.

The very first thing I thought about his design is that he needed to have a low ponytail so his head shape kind of looks like a little ghost! Can you see it? No? I was so proud of coming up with it...
