Bunch o' doodlin over the weekend of Kozama in his normal form, plus some outfit and weapon work. Basically a preamble to his character sheet, which I'll be working on over the next few weeks.

As he is now, I have him as a ruthless sky pirate captain / samurai who believes purely in raw strength, and that the strong can and should take whatever they want from whoever they want. Kozama's not necessarily that evil (usually, but in his Dark Side form that might be up for debate), but he's not someone who'd willingly team up with Malea and the gang. He'd rather shove do-gooders like Malea out of the way, but perhaps they could team up out of necessity or if their goals aligned somehow...

Kozama's huge and imposing, almost always has a menacing glare and puts up with NOTHING. He runs a tight ship, demands order and efficiency, and is a brilliant tactician and master swordsman. He wins half his battles just moving towards his opponent and sometimes doesn't even need to draw a sword, which is disappointing to him as he's always willing to spill blood and slake his thirst for combat. He can't use any of his magic or shadow powers normally, and needs to transform into his 'Dark Side' to get access to those abilities. Kozama has no control of his Dark Side transformations, which are triggered by his temper and emotions, so he strives to remain calm and in control at all times. He hates his magic affinity (as well as magic in general) and would dispense with it entirely if he had any idea how to.

More to come!
