I can't believe that it's already 2009. Well, for New Years, I was dragged to this community party thing by my parents. I eventually ditched and snuck out to my friend's party. It didn't last long, but it was fun nonetheless. My New Year Resolutions is to do better in school and not do anything bad like that again. :3


I was tagged by

1.)Character's name?
Tetsuya (Tetsu) Hikari

2.)What's he/she like?
He really is the kind of guy that you want to smack, but still be friends with. Overall, the idea is that he's a pervert, but is pretty clueless when it comes to love. He's averagely intelligent and he can be serious when necessary. He also wants to become a stronger, more mature person for Sakura.

3.) What spurred his/her creation?
Well, I was just randomly doodling and I accidently drew him. That's pretty much how all of my characters were formed.

4.) What inspired his/her name?
I took the name Tetsu from my brother. I decided his full name would be Tetsuya (since Tetsu by itself sounds like a nickname to me) and Hikari was chosen more for his sister than for him. Tetsuya itself is a weird name for him because apparently the first meaning for it can be "Arrow of Philosophy", so I took to the translation of a second meaning I found; "To be iron". I chose that for his desire to be stronger both physically and mentally.

5.) What inspired his/her personality?
Any pervert in a manga really. I wanted him to be more humorous since the other characters were more serious. But just like with everyone, he can be different depending on the situation or who he is talking to.

6.) What inspired his/her appearance?
I suppose Serge from Chrono Cross. Obviously, they are very different from each other, except the blue hair. He likes to wear more personal designs that his sister creates and has a pretty typical style in clothing (jeans, t-shirts, sweatshirts, etc).

7.) What inspired his/her powers/fighting style?
He doesn't fight. He's never really been forced into a situation where he needed to. Sure, he can punch and kick, but he never went out of his way to learn. I thought that this would make him more realistic.

8.) Would any voice actors be good for this character?
Hm... Well, for his Japanese voice, the only person I could think of was Soichiro Hoshi. I don't know who would be good for his english voice though.
