In the end, Cylux just gives up completely with titles.

Anyway, Kinad was in dire need of a redesign. Nothing too drastic, but a redesign nonetheless.
Not much changed in the end; I wasn't about to alter his colour scheme at all but now he has a straight(ish) fringe and is slightly more muscular than he used to be... although that's happening to a lot of my male character right now.
Also he has a backstory now! :D

Basically he always lived in the shadow of his sister (18 months older) who was practically a perfect child. Although his parents did love him, he always felt second to best to her because she was better than him at almost everything, and better behaved too. He eventually became disruptive just to try and get their attention more, resorting to tattooing himself and even scarring his own face.
At 16 he left home, joined another clan (Tilzeyhn) and lived for two years with little money and no constant job before joining the local army. At 20 he was moved to Telford where he met Yasir (three and a half years his elder). At first they pretty much hated each other - Yasir being hard working, obedient, disciplined and pretty much damn right boring, Kinad still a slacker and hating authority (he also used to sleep with lots of women u__u). Eventually they kind of became friends without really realising, and began to rub off on each other. At 23, he returned to his old clan and was forgiven by his family, however his relationship with them is still slightly... uncomfortable, I guess. Like when you meet relatives you hardly know and every conversation is really stiff and polite.
Change: w00t! He was also part of a gang from 16.

^ Subject to change. Most probably.

Edit: Just so you know, the last two were from when he was younger. I think. And the second one down is his final design. Now why didn't I put it at the top? :\

Why is my head so empty. WHY? Because my brain is fried and lost forever. Gosh. I wanna leave a proper comment but this "proper" comment starts with nonsense.
So let's give it a try...

I like his personality, even i dont know much yet.
And I also love the color of his hair.

...and the "proper" comment can't go on from here since..my head is too empty.

xD I like him now. He's more interesting than before and doesn't have a completely contradictory personality anymore :D

Kinad (not so) secretly likes to read. Especially big thick elvish novels and stuff. His favourite Genre is macabre and the like.

Maybe you should fry someone's brain...and get it out of their head...why do I feel a little disgusted?

I dunno.... some people think that extracting brains is somewhat... morbid.
