WIP Backstory - Blog Posts

Kokoro Kasai is the last human left on the planet she lives on. When she was a child, the exploration ship she was on with her parents suffered a catastrophic engine failure, resulting in the ship plunging from orbit down to the surface, the ship barely surviving the fall with what little power the maneuvering thrusters and surviving engines could give. Most of the crew died in the crash. Kokoro, like many of the other survivors contracted an alien disease, and was left on the brink of death. The weakened expeditionary forces went out trying to find whatever they could to try and salvage the catastrophe and survive, discovering the remains of an extinct race. Within one of the ruins a honey-like substance was found that could heal their afflicted. There was only enough of the substance to cure one person however. After arguing among those who thought themselves leaders over who would receive the cure, violent and bloody infighting began. With most of the diseased now dead and the survivors fighting each other over a single vial of alien honey, Kokoro's father, Isamu Kasai selfishly stole the vial, killing all who stood in his way, fighting his way to his only child, taking her into his arms and fleeing deep into the jungle, administering the cure and watching her rapidly recover from the edge of death, only to finally succumb to his wounds, happy to have saved his daughter, even at the expense of himself and everyone else aboard that ship.

Having been imbued with Space Honey Magic, she experienced some changes, most immediately notable, the change in hair and eye color as well as the ability to create and control fire and an incredible healing factor, as well as an unnaturally long life, possibly related to her regeneration. She has become quite infamous with the local tribes as well, capable of fighting great beasts alone, throwing walls of fire and healing from any wound.

I had started this months ago and I reached 99 posts on tumblr and so I wanted to make this the 100th. It became hard to make as I was getting frustrated and angry more than I was having fun with it. Last I touched it the I had spent several hours on the face and hated it and was damn near ready to punch the wall. I threw together the face hair and colors in about an hour, so now it's done. Head looks like shit, but whatever, I was mainly wanting to come up with the outfit and colors anyways. I didn't know what I wanted her to ware on her feet, be it slippers and socks similar to Shaolin monks or fur lined boots like the material around her waist or be barefoot but I can't draw feet for shit so they don't have any detail. Now it's done.
