Description Oh Garin. You have such a silly design. Oh how I love it. <3
Considering Garin is probably my favorite character, I figured he deserved a reference sheet.

The Garin on the left is "Non-Canon". The Garin on the right is "Canon", however the only difference is mostly the outfit. Canon Garin is more story-oriented, while Non-Canon is just if I want to draw him separately, doing silly things Canon Garin wouldn't do.
I was going to significantly change said outfit because of its extreme silliness, but then I thought "Naw, fits him too well" :D

There's quite a lot of information about him I did not include in the reference. Most of it pertaining to his Canon character. But, honestly, there is so much about him to tell that I could go on for days :'D So I best left this ref for his physical appearance and basic character information.

Age: Currently undecided. Physical age somewhere between 16-20.
Ailments:
Because of his hybridism, he has some anatomical issues, particularly in his joints. Awkward leg joints cause him to have trouble standing/walking for long periods of time and some joints are prone to swelling. His wrists do this often, which the gloves help to reduce.
He is deaf in his right ear.
His eyes sometimes have trouble focusing properly.
Canon Garin has a spirit called the "Calestine" trapped within his soul. Some information pertaining to it can be read here: [link] (some things may be inaccurate)

Extra facts:
He speaks very poorly. Often his speech is very blunt and/or grammatically incorrect. Instead of saying "I am hungry." he would say either "I hungry." or just "Hungry." If he is trying to explain something, he may become frustrated due to his inability of knowing what words to choose.
He has a very good memory for events and visuals, almost photographic, but very poor memory when it comes to visual and communication combined (example, one could show him a red card and say "red" but when shown again a few minutes later he can't remember what the name of the color is. He also has trouble remembering names of people and the like).
He is very close to his mother, Nelthilta.

As well, for those confused as to why I said he is half Ambivian, half Lanive instead of Lanian, lanives are a subspecies of Lanian I am currently concepting. They are smaller (about Ambivian size) and more bipedal, among a few other things. (Note that Kailani and Zamora are also Ambivian/Lanive hybrids now).

Note also that some stuff may change on him in the future as I research more into things. Feel free to ask questions if confused or curious.

Garin, you are so illogical. But that's k. <3

Hmm, I don't think so. Real mental disorders as this can't really be treated with medications. They can only take medications that treat symptoms related to it. An example, some people of this mental disorder can go through fits of rage if provoked (they don't realize what they are doing, but it happens) so they have to take medication to keep them calm. So it treats their anger that results from the disorder, but it doesn't treat the disorder itself. There are different little issues like that. As for Garin, I'm not sure if he has anything like that yet. He might, though.

I know people with mentally disorders myself. I worked with them for years. ^^

But I thought it was possible that he Garin has a different kind of disorder since a spรฎrit is locked inside his soul.

Anyway, Garin is just a cute Kid. ^^

Ahhh yeah I see what you mean. Nah, essentially it's the same. ^^ The spirit is sorta a different aspect entirely. It doesn't affect him a whole lot since it's not as strong as his mother's.

Thank you C:

*Is very happy*

I just love Garin. His expressions are so sweet. <3 I also like his Canon outfit, suits the serious-ness of the story.

I guess Lanives will make it easier to explain reproduction. Considering it would quite hard with an Ambivian and a Lanian. xD
Are you planning on doing any more of these? They're so interesting.

& Question..Does his or a Lanian/Lanive tongue being star-shaped have a purpose?

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

AlfaFilly In reply to ElementalHowl [2011-04-23 18:38:21 +0000 UTC]

8D

Thank you! :3
Well, "Lanivians" in general can't be produced naturally. They all are scientifically created, which is why there are so few of them. Except in Garin's case, but I'm still debating on how exactly he was "made" (the spell concept has me on the fence). But yes, because Lanives are closer to the size, it would make more sense than a giant dinosaur. Though, in the whole picture, it still is highly illogical. xD But still~

Yes, the concept of the tongue is a sensory receptor (along with the Jacobson's organ) just like a snakes. The points allow for more precise location abilities. But this is just another concept I am debating on. So for now... it's just there because it looks alien, I guess.

So the canon Garin is loaded into determines the caliber of his character?
