I am making a manga, and this is the first character I am developing. His name is Kojisai Taisu. If you want to see more of this character, this picture is part of a sequence of pictures featuring him. Feel free to use the links below to see more.

:omg: I finally finished my brother's birthday present... from July. You guys all remember this? --> [link] Well I guess I can give it to him again... finished, and as a Christmas Present. :laughing: But wow, this was the most ambitious thing I've ever undertaken. It just took forever... and then I was too busy to get to it, and then the motivation and inspiration died, and Christmas needed to be coming for me to get it back. :shrug: Oh well, at least I finished it.

The following is an excerpt from the story... about the picture. We've been seeing a lot of cute Ko-Chan stuff, but that isn't his full character... this is another part of him, which is very important.

from: In The Time of Dragons

They were surrounded. This in itself was not a problem. Kiala knew that the four of them could handle it. Miakai let out a roar and with a flash of energy, reverted to her dragon form, ready for battle. Ryu’s eyes took on a golden color, the color of an Eagle’s eyes, and they were just as keen. She drew her fans from their cloth covering and she could see Kojisai’s hand gravitate toward his blade.

The attackers didn’t move however, they stood, watching them through the masks, waiting for something. Then she saw him. A man came in through the broken door. He had no mask, but he was dressed in long robes of red and black, gaudy against the drab surroundings. He grinned at them, revealing perfect teeth.

“Well, well, you think you can actually fight us now?”

“Who are you?” Kiala growled. She took a step forward, placing herself in front of her friends protectively. “What do you want?”

“Now, now my dear.” The man paused to look her over. She did the same. He was handsome. He had piercing black eyes, and long silver hair. A tattoo of a dragon adorned his right cheek, and his posture was confident and strong. “I want nothing from you, except that you surrender a member of your party over to me.”

Kiala glanced back at Ryu for a moment. He had a serious expression on his face, considering. Kiala took another step toward the man, aggressively, raising one fan, ready to strike. “Forget it.” Her eyes narrowed and the force in her voice caused the man’s confidence to flutter momentarily. He recovered quickly though.

“Such a pity. I do hate destroying beautiful things.” The man sighed, but he did not seem that distressed.

“I’m sure you do.” It was Kojisai who said that. “You would much rather cage them and brag about your having possession over them.”

The man looked over at him, startled. “And this boy, you are willing to sacrifice him as well?” He was addressing Ryu now.

“It is not in my power to tell him… or anyone what to do.” Ryu replied. “But if any harm comes to any of them, you will learn a new meaning of the word pain.”

The man laughed. It was a harsh and cruel sound, like claws on a chalkboard. He had something up his sleeve; that much was clear. “Kill them all.” He ordered, and the masked men fell in on them in a swarm. As the chaos set in, Kiala saw the robed figure receding. Coward wouldn’t even fight his own battles.

They all began to fight at once. Kiala was surprised to see that they all worked very well together. She had fought with Ryu and Miakai hundreds of times. They knew how to work together better than anyone, but Kojisai seemed to fit in perfectly. She brought her fans down on her opponents swiftly and mercilessly, cutting from above and slashing across their mid sections. Miakai flew through the busted roof and then dropped down on the men, ripping at them, grabbing them and throwing them. Ryu drew his sword, the big one this time, and effortlessly cut through the swarms. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a man coming up on Ryu from behind, and she pulled a hidden dagger out and threw it into his chest. She knew that he was doing the same for her, and she didn’t even bother to wonder when she heard men falling form behind her.

Things were going well, and she was starting to wonder where the man’s confidence came from when a vast shadow suddenly swept over their heads. She did not have time to look up, but a sinking feeling told her what it was. Then a second shadow passed over. Her heart stopped. For a moment, all the battling paused as everyone looked up. There they were; two enormous black dragons. One, the smaller of the two, was once was a red Earth dragon, and the other was a massive water dragon.

“You’re all dead now.” She heard one of the masked attackers snicker.

Miakai started up toward them, but she was dwarfed by those titans. Kiala started to panic. They couldn’t handle all these men and two black dragons of that size at the same time. Then she heard the most amazing thing.

“I assume you two have these know-nothings covered.” It was Kojisai. “Miakai, I will take care of those brutes, your friends need you down here.” Miakai turned to sweep back down on the men. Kiala didn’t know what to think. Two black dragons, both of them larger than any she had ever seen, and he was going to face them alone?

“No, Kojisai, you’ll get killed!” Her voice was a shriek now.

“Don’t be ridiculous.” Was all he said and just like that, he leaped out the window to face them.
