My avatar represents my latest character obsession, Koga from Pokemon, though in a minimalistic style. Here is a picture of him in full-detail: (click)
I've known about Koga since I was a child, though I didn't care about him much back then because back then I only liked Pokemon for, well, the Pokemon. Not sure why I suddenly became obsessed with Koga all these years later, despite having little interest in the other aspects of the Pokemon franchise (well, besides another character, Lt. Surge, who I enjoy romantically pairing with Koga [aka Toxicbolt shipping]) Talk about having a narrow interest!
Anyway, if I had to speculate as to why I became obsessed with Koga, I think I can pinpoint a couple of reasons:
1) His age and personality are very similar to an original character that I tried, and failed, to develop properly over the past couple of months. I believe that all the things that didn't feel right about my character, were properly executed in Koga.
2) There's a reason why Koga is in the same age group as the character I was trying to develop - I have a "thing" for older men. Like, really bad.
Okay... I think I'd better stop. I could talk about this character all night. Really!
