| CURRENTLY ADDING ALL MY NEW ARTWORK SLOWLY. BEAR WITH ME 
i suppose it is time to reveal the new names for my characters. thank u to my partner and my discord friends for helping me with the name picking.
Axle Bey -> Vihaan Dayal
Sera Garcia -> Roro Bayu
Light Olsen -> Kei Olsen
Lawrence Eir -> Isko Dalisay
Kane Ruskin -> Asad Muhsin
Katy Ruskin -> Katy Muhsin
Yvette Ruskin-> Su-Wei Muhsin
I have renamed these characters as the previous names were old or didn't fit well. I also wanted to diversify my names as I often went for European names even for POC characters which I felt was a bit wrong of me, and given all of the above characters aside from Katy are based on different Asian populations I wanted to better represent people from different places in my story more accurately.
Especially since characters like Cara Flores had more fitting names.
do keep in mind though, no real world continents or countries exist in my story, it is an entirely different world with fantasy races but I wanted to base my fantasy races appearance and name-wise at the very least on real world people, as representation is important to me in every regard.
There will be some cultural references tho n stuff like that :)
Also! if you want to know specifically who is based on which country lmk and I'll post about it.
extra notes:
- Katy, Asad and Su-Wei are not blood related, they are adoptive siblings who all took on Asad's last name
- Kei Olsen, while based on East Asian people, has a Scandinavian last name as she was adopted by someone based on people from that region of europe.
- Azriel Raine I decided to keep as is, the name itself is plot relevant.Jun 6, 2022
