Description So, I haven't been able to draw in like almost a month, and I was starting to get worried. I figured I would take the time to sketch out a decent head shot of one of the Third Waltz heroes. Which also gives me a chance to barf out spoilers (it's like decades before I ever even get far enough to start on Shadowlark's Third Waltz, so I am sure everyone will have forgotten this information. Or it will change).

Seth Gorgon
Race: Sable Lillim.

Seth is one of the most bizarre oddities of the Shadowlark world: a sane Darkforce esper. But it's even more than that; Seth is from the Gorgon Bloodline, a child of Orochi.

After watching his sister become prey to the Shadowplague monster Harper; Seth was taken by Eve to live with Sakura Kusanagi. The Sword Saint taught him her style, while Eve taught him to control his shadow in much the same way she controls her ghosts. The end result has turned Seth into a Darkforce esper very different than the rest of his kind: Seth does not conflict with his shadow at all - rather he has allowed his shadow it's own identity (even giving it a name 'Requiem' ) and treating it as a partner with an equal vote to his brain. Although Kurai No Tetsu traditional have darkforce powers based on reptiles and serpents, and other Darkforce epsers seem to favor animals and beasts, Seth actually follows suit with his personal hero Daniel in that his darkforce resembles birds (his totem is a white raven).

Of the three heroes of the Third Waltz; Seth is the most pragmatic and disciplined - kind of a mix of Eve and Sakura combined. His design actually is based on the three people that molded him: Daniel, Sakura, and Eve.

They do have the same bangs, and working with her has likely rubbed off on his expressions and personality.

Ah, another character I seriously want to drag home and feed pancakes! ...If I got my wish, I'd have a very strange-looking breakfast table. Everybody pretending to be surly and quietly passing the maple syrup.

Actually Seth is actually a very pleasant person: despite having a rough background, he is actually very amicable and friendly. One of the reason Seth doesn't go completely bonkers like other Darkforce is because he actually interacts with others socially. Tanooki is the one in desperate need of a slap on the face and some pancakes.

No pancakes for Nooks without a written contract and a guard. Hence, Seth. Or at least as much of him as could be spared from being glomped by a ballistic toddler princess with Weaponized Cuteness. I gots one!

I like his very austere design. Very basic, not too flashy. I dig his concept, too.

He really is my favorite High concept of a character in Shadowlark; mostly because he represents the world "becoming fixed".

So he's a symptom of things going right in the world?

Basically yes. Seth is an example of reality 'fixing the mistakes'.

You're not fair, you know that. Authors in general are not fair. They give tasty snippets about things to come in the future. And now we readers must wait! Oh the agony!

He has pretty hair. I want to pet it. But I think that may be a very, very bad idea.
