The plot's gets much more serious later on, but the beginning is just nuts. I wanted to create characters that I've never done before, and some did turn out unique. Caeth... somehow Caeth became a white-haired carbon copy of Jay (JA47).
Jikde... was an attempt to create a funny character who wasn't trying to be funny. Makros, Donagon, they're funny, but they like being that way. Jikde usually doesn't even realize he's doing anything odd. And when he does... he's not too pleased about it.
Osin became truly unique, in the fact that she doesn't exist. She's actually a figment of Jikde's imagination, though he never discovers this. I still think she's sweet.
