*Kills self several times*

I've been working on this godforsaken picture for months now, staring at it in the midnight darkness till the surfaces of my eyes have the texture of forty grit sand paper, and have been so desensitized to it I can't even tell if I love it or hate it. Oh well, I'm posting it just to be done with it.

This is more work for my story, Terayon. I don't even know why I wasted my time. I've been pushing this story for a year and nobody wants to hear it. I don't get it, I've cram packed this manga full of unrealistically attractive overly emotional bishounens, I've done everything right!!!

It's called 'back story' because it's supposed grant a little flesh and background to each of the characters, but also because in their backs is embodied a little visual riddle. It's pretty obvious and I feel dumb for doing it. Dumb dumb dumb.

I hate this stupid picture. They're all so androgenous it's a shock there's only one female. This is the reason my mother is intimidated, nay, scared shitless of my art. Oh well, at least we have our Tuesday doily making to keep us together.

These five are residents of the floating city of Terayon, selected by the eccentric old doujo master Kaio for training.
In this picture are Ayu, Tetra, Patala, Amano, and Minnow.
The murder of his mother left young Ayu orphaned in Terayon, in the dubious care of Kaio, and with newly awakenned human senses. Rejected by the gods for said 'barbarian' senses, he explores the world of Lower Terayon, the human district. Wanting to die from the pain of loosing his mother, he is kept alive by his love affair with the phantasmagoric city.
Tetra is the niece of Kaio. Dark and sacrastic, she resents being selected for training only slightly less than being related to Kaio. Once an Upper Terayon snob herself, her pride begins to be swayed by Ayu's fervor for human music and poetry...
Patala is a happy-go-lucky prince from another god city, the Tida, whose title hinges on his ability to celebrate. It is, in fact, that very aptitude with women, wine and merrymaking that has concerned his parents to the point of asking Kaio to take him to Terayon for a while. Unfortunately, the Terayonic girls are much to his liking.
Amano is a god from a prestigious family who rejects the elitist ways of Upper Terayon for the sensual splendors and fresh ideology of the human district.
Minnow, well, he's the mysterious one.

Bah. Humbug.
