A/N: This is spoken out loud, generally, since this kind of simulates my thought process. This is a basic thought process on how some characters I use get created, usually in sketching. You can read this aloud if you'd like. That's sometimes half the fun! For me anyway, but you're not me. Do whatever you'd like to do, because I literally cannot do anything to stop you.

Swearing and other such vulgar language. Ye hath been warned, ya pansies.

--------------------------

Okay, so I need a rounded character with a good name and an original portrayal in a fantasy plotline. Someone young-ish, male, and has a bit of angst, but not too much angst. Flawed in intelligence as a main thingy and he'll grow in the story. Yes. Okay, what to do now?

Lets choose a name first. Uh... a name starting with 'S' sounds good. Maybe 'Sh'?

......let's look up some names.

...

Sage? Eh, sounds like an old man. I'm aiming for a younger person. Sage sounds like a wise name, so it would be ironic for what I'm aiming for, but that's kind of stupid. I don't want to confuse my readers either unless I made it a trend in the story. Eh, not feeling that trend, but I'll save that idea for later.

Seth? Mmm, sounds like someone who sells drugs. That's McChickens.

Sabas? Oooh, okay, okay, that's something I can work with. Okay, name is legit, and I can always change it later.

What would Sabas look like? Hmm.

Dark hair? Nah, I use darker colored hair too much recently. Colored would be interesting....AHA!

ELECTRIC BLUE. Wait, no, that would look too bright and the fantasy scenery would not match at all...shit.

Wait. He's not exactly sage-like. He'd totally dye his hair blue. Maybe not ELECTRIC blue, but maybe a blueberry color. Yeah, I'd see that. Okay, done.

Give him blue, no hazel eyes. Yeahhh that's the stuff. 

Allow him some really good cheekbones. Wait, hang on, not everyone of my characters need to be pretty. Screw society and their standards! Fuck that society shit, lets stick to reality here. Give him a baby face....okay, so we'll give him some freckles an' facial scarring from pimples, too. Hell yeah, lookin' cute as hell!

Fuck yeah. Sabas you cutie. Alright, alright, good. 

Some...tired eyes. Mhm, look at them circles under your eyes, honey. Damn, you look like me on a Monday morning, heheh... eh, jokes aside, this looks good.

Okay, body type. Can't have you be a body-builder, and I don't want you to be a stick either. Too unrealistic since you're gong to be a pampered baby-boy! Lets give you....some extra weight. You'll be in the snow for a while, so you'll have to lose something. Aaaaaand, there! Cool, that's settled. That's thee shit, right there.

Clothes. Clothes. What to do for clo-

puuurrrrpleee. You'd look good in purple. A lavender coat. Pea coat? Eh, maybe a hoodie? Not exactly fantasy for either of those, shit. How about a basic looking blouse and pants look? Starting out, this is a good choice to fall back on. Lavender shirt it is!

That looks...a little weird. Hm. How about just plain white shirt and lavender pants?

That looks even weirder...urrgh! I WANT PURPLE ON YOU, SUNNY BOY SABAS YOU!

Oh, a lavender scarf would work. Hm. Maybe that one thing that covers the neck, the shoulders and partway down the forearms, what the heck is that called? Ah, whatever it's called, it's on you now! That looks good. Better than lavender pants. 

Boots. Pirate lookin' boots that go up to- wait no. How about some fancy shoes? Businessman looking stuff. Loafers? Eh...that wouldn't work. It would ruin the illusion of fantasy that way. 

Stick with boots. I can change that later. No biggie, Sabassy-boy.

....hairstyle. I got his hair color, but forgot his style. Shit, hold on-

What's a good hairstyle...middle parting? Bangs? Hmmm...I need a balance between 'I woke up like this' and 'I can kick your ass if you even say a word about my insecurities'.

Bowl cut- NO. Awful. Short spiky hair...eh. I guess that works...long, curly hair? OH! He would totally not want to keep his short hair in check, so that works! Have it in a ponytail, out of the way. Or maybe down, because of his facial structure. Yeaaahhh, that's good, let's go with that.

Have it get really frizzy in humidity. Hell yeah. Maybe with a development arc I can make him shave all of his hair off to get to that spiky hair look. Eh, maybe.

Mhm, sexy boi. Lovely boi. Sabas protection squad 2018.

Aaaaand I'm out of ideas. Let's just post him right now and see what the rest of the world thinks of pretty boy Sabas.

----------------

A/N: ...Sabas will be posted later in my most recent art book. As of posting this, it'll be in my third art book.

Thanks for reading!
