The two of four. Or was it four of four? When writing about each kid’s concept, I usually drafted it first prior to the D-date. Yet, I was occupied with things, so I somehow... forget about this son of mine. Nevertheless!! I'd like to talk about him now! It's been awhile, anyway. 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017. I'm laughing because of the prime number. Build up story and design notesKyle was started as a role-play character, since me and my partner were easily bored so we liked to think about a lot of AUs... yep. We were headcannoning about the possibility of Asca and Claire’s child, so initially, they had twins with different sex. That's it, Kyle and Moira. As time goes by, they shifted into siblings with relative age different, with Kyle as the older brother, four years older than Moira. The twins concept later recycled and goes to the Hondou twins. I remembered so well that his hair color was so tacky hahaha. Like... transition from brown to ...pink. Decided that it wouldn't working out well, I made him with brown hair instead, and the pink one goes to Moira. That was done around the same time we altered their age, as well. His hair is something that I always like from him since his conception. It's fluffy and bouncy. It evolved into haystack though, as of now. I also like his glasses too in this revamped version, because finally I can draw one. For his attire, gladly he’s that type of person who dwells in his home a lot, so yeah, I didn’t think much of giving him flashy attire whatsoever. Oh, the slipper is a must, and I’m happy I can draw it hahaha. Actually, I was never sure every time I want to draw him, especially in making the character design. Because, if I wanted to draw him in his teenage version, then I had to age-up the rest of cast. However, now that they are incorporated along with STKR, I find comfort in drawing all the XLR cast on their older version, so that's not an issue anymore. Kyle always come with this kind of… jaded prodigy archetype from the very first. I always intended him to have a different path from Asca career-wise, something that close to his personality. At first, I thought of him as a hacker. But, going with what’s really hyping currently, I made him as someone that dabbles in being a net personality. Besides, being a hacker is something that quite not what he is, I mean, he’s not that gadfly enough to do so. I think of him as an avid gamer and a content creator, something that generates quite $$$ but sadly daddy doesn’t approve hahaha. I also give him a slight interest in music and composing, accorporating what he learned from Kei and from his college. Back then when finished with the XLR story, I also contemplated on making series of these offspring as simple yonkoma. But as for now, although he only becomes one of cameos that referenced in the STKR, at least he has a basic setting. That said, I'm still interested in making one, however. I do. Name & BirthdayHis initial name was Kai Fujimoto. Yep, the name is so creative because I took it nonchalantly from an UTAU of mine. Speaking of which, I always used him as my avatar as well in gaming. It has replaced by Sana now, as she is my gaming mascot, but I still using his name whenever I play as guy on certain games. Yeah, the 'Kai' I use in game is usually not referring to me, but to this son. Really, having same name with your own character sometimes is yayakoshii. The thought of revamping his name is always exist, but I couldn’t think of a good one. In the end though, I changed it to Kyle, still sounds near to his original name. I didn’t think much of his birthdate, but I deliberately think of the date. 23, because it can be read as nii-san. At that time, I didn’t have much kid whose birthday on March, so I made him so. Kinda funny, though, because you can read it as Niisan-san, or, Mr. Older brother. Personality & RelationshipKai has both Asca's brain and looks. However, what do we like to emphasize is not of his status as Asca's mini-clone, but rather his personality. While Asca is warm and sort of emphatic, Kai is... say, acerbic. Hahaha. Actually though, the younger him was full of energy and precocious. Idk, maybe college and education has made him cynical (laughs), he has some sort of dad issue, too. Just the typical dynamic between siblings. He has quite a good relationship with his mother, since they are close since he was little. He doesn’t really like his little sister as she’s really naggy and noisome, yeah, typical reason, I guess. Aside from his immediate family, I think he is quite close with Yuuya due to similar interest and vibe. And yeah, making him and Sana become archenemy is something that I planned, since both of them are my gaming mascots. I just think it would be fun. End noteI don't know, but among all the kids that I have been revamped, Kai is the one that I feel accomplishing as... well... he was started initially from five years old agile boy, into a eighteen years old acerbic teen. What's wrong with me and my tendency to make all of my kids snarkier lately. ...come to think of it, I really like the jaded prodigy archetype, aren’t I? I don’t have much thing to comment about Kyle, aside that he’s quite easy to write and… it’s kinda interesting to think that his archetype is influencing some of my kids on other verses, yet, they retroactively influencing him, by the time I revamp him around now. As with Sana as the best girl, maybe I can say that he’s my best boi. I’ve always wanted a big brother with a demeanor similar to him, anyway, hahaaaa… [Last updated on November 2020]
