The Man in the White Kimono - Quad Human

quadraptor's picture
Another WIP...


What do you see before you? A man with a sword, yes?

But look past the sword. What do you see?

A fearsome tiger brimming for war?

A gentle antelope longing for peace?

Or an obedient wolf who looks only for balance?

I am all three, and none at the same time.





By the wonderful Parler!


#C38EC7

He walks alone, sandals dusted from the long journeys he walks. He wears white clothing with various tears and dirt on it. His head is covered by a sandogasa, and his belt carries various things including a samurai sword. His journey has not been an easy one...

He barely remembers his past, but he knows he has killed before. Was it in self defense? Or was he blood thirsty? He cannot recall if who his master is...or if he really is a ronin...refusing to commit ritual suicide...

Regardless, he walks on, with two paths before him. The path of peace represented by the Buddha, if he simply chose to let go of his past and find enlightenment through his meditation...or the path of war, digging deeper into his past, learning more forms of death to work with...

The choice is ultimately his. He is a man who walks on, never knowing whether his next day will be his last, never knowing what his future will hold...never knowing his fate...

Katana with a crane tsuba

What do you see before you?

A man cursed by a violent past.

A man blessed by a clear future.

A man walking in the present moment.

Tiger, Antelope, Wolf...all three are with me.

And yet here I walk alone.





Thanks again to SilverBells for the artwork!

Added a little to his

Added a little to his description, and linked the couple of stories I've written for him so far. I'm not sure if there will be a more mystical/supernatural side to his story or not, I was considering introducing a cursed piece of equipment, which I guess isn't too bad to include...

Anyway, I know I'm a little obsessive over artwork, but if anyone doesn't mind drawing my samurai, I would be forever grateful. I don't have a set design for him - just white clothes, sandals, maybe a sandogasa, and a sword I suppose.

Here is a good example of the type of clothes he'd wear, but in white with blue features. And as far as a face, maybe similar to Jin from Samurai Champloo but without the glasses. You don't have to use the same hairstyle that he has, though, and he could have a goatee too. Other than that, feel free to do whatever you'd like

In other words, feel free to experiment with him. Much like Quad Wolf, his human form has many different looks since in reality Quad's true form is a deer.

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to draw him.

I had an idea last night but

I had an idea last night but it was after I had turned my computer off.

I'm thinking about Quad Human eventually doing something where he gets targeted by an assassin.

Anyone want to take a guess at who this assassin is?

I'll give you a hint...

XD well considering it being

XD well considering it being Iugulare, she's going to act kind of the same way she does when they're animals - she wants to kill him but secretly she loves him.

It'll be interesting anyway.

Hmm so I need a premise for

Hmm so I need a premise for it. It would have to involve him stopping something big from happening, maybe from a particular clan.

Geez, this is making me think of those old martial arts movies where there are rival dojos...

The other idea I had was that Iugulare Human is a ninja...so the classic samurai vs ninja fight goes on.

Maybe Quad Human is hired for a protection job, and that is where he and Iugulare Human meet.
