Aloha, DA~ I'm back at it again, creating characters to populate my Daimyo-KoiKoi universe!

Here we see a diverse cast of "Pisceons", which is the species name for my uniquely-designed fish folk. I've been inspired to expand on KoiKoi's racial background by playing him in D&D online this year (yes, it's happening~!) and collaborating on ideas with the DM. Playing 'Candlekeep Mysteries' modules is sooo fun, yo!

I'll quickly list a few details of the characters in the image, both new and old, for those that are interested:

1) Daimyo KoiKoi: The noble warrior Pisceon and hero of his realm. He combines artistic magic with infused weapon fighting, a gish-fish, if you will.
2) Samurice: The sushi-styled construct minion of KoiKoi. He is a silent retainer, loyal to his master, and will defend him to the death.
3) Oiran Kinko: The goldfish geisha matriarch to the Pisceon pond. She is the ruling counterpart to KoiKoi, and holds down the fort while he's off adventuring.

4) Sankenomi: The strong salmon Pisceon hailing from the Native Animist Tribe. His barbarian might and knowledge of nature cannot be beat!
5) Bekko: The baby Pisceon, just hatched from an egg of great pedigree. Special swaddlings protect the infant from harm, and are so stylish.
6) Shamisaburo: The wandering minstrel Pisceon friend of KoiKoi's. This bard is a jack of all trades, always seen with his shamisen (Ken).

7) Ogon: The Pisceon elder koi. He is very wise, but is also quite the jokester. When he gets cranky, he'll bop you with his mossy staff!
8) Kohaku: The Pisceon maiden and makeup guru. She is also very stylish, wearing a lotus flower and leaf like a wide-brim hat.
9) Nishiki: The Pisceon fisherman and all around tough guy. Yes, even though they're fish, they still eat seafood! He has a vey traditional appearance.

10) Hikari: The young Pisceon intern. Does many odd jobs around town, including managing the tea lounge and flower shop. Always eager to please~
11) Kawarimono: The butterfly koi Pisceon mystic. Still only an adolescent, their spiritual power is as big as their attitude, which can be annoying.
12) Doitsu: The catfish Pisceon sumo wrestler. He's a battle-hardened brute -and sometimes bully- with a heart of gold. Undefeated.

13) Goromo: The slim Pisceon gardener. He is a commoner, enjoys (literally) combing the beach -which leaves raked grooves in the sand- in search of treasure.
14) Utsuri: The chubby Pisceon chef. Also a commoner, he runs his own restaurant and makes passable food, his specialty being a dish called "crabbage".
15) Cally: What's this foreigner doing here? Get out of here, you! This one's an in-joke... (also I don't claim to have originated this design, lol)
