Description Here's another upload I managed to put off. xDDD

I figured I should probably give some honest backstory to the weird aqua gumdrop I'm always drawing with me- and I finally managed to come up with a decent one that should suffice for now.

Many eons ago on a distant and deserted isle in the vastness of space, grew an old yet wise torch tree by the name of Braeburn.

For decades he lived in content solitude, but he dreamed for the land around him to one day prosper. So he blessed one of the seeds from his branches with the flame of life-

and down fell a little seed by the name of Goro

Braeburn raised Goro as his child, filling him with all the knowledge that he had gathered from floating aimlessly in space past countless societies and civilizations. And when he felt the child old enough- he gave him the task of going out into the world and finding someone. Someone who could help this land prosper.

So Goro ventured out and managed in his travels to find someone that he thought fit the task. An old man with his mind set going somewhere that he could bring his creatures to life- his monsters

When Goro brought this man back what soon came after was not quite what Braeburn had expected...

The isle was now certainly flooded with activity and life, but it was under the dictatorship of a crazed and bitter man that wanted to have every word in controlling his creations as society had apparently controlled him in his past.

It was a very bittersweet success of Goro's journey. Many of the monsters that were now populating the land had goodness in them, but they had to live in fear of this mad scientist's rule. What's worse is that the professor turned against Goro from his own anxieties that he might try to oppose him, so he banished Goro from the land all together. (At the time he was unaware of Braeburn still being there, as his flame's dimmed over the years so he looks like nothing more than some old shrubbery when he's not awake)

It's not too bad though, if he hadn't been banished afterall I'dve never have met him

The idea of what sort of "story" could follow afterwards is that Kito could probably go back to Monster Isle with him and help take down the crazy professor to let all the creatures then live in peace or something. xD But regardless that's the basic gist~

------

Real quick before you pass out from any more of this text wall, the idea of Goro being a "Fire Flipseed", is to explain how he can change sizes. Whenever he tugs on the root from his head, he can "flip" over to either shrink or grow in size/sprout arms and such.

Also like his dad he's completely hollow on the inside, no organs, no bones, no nothing- just an animated shell more or less with only a controllable flame on the inside of his body. Oddly enough though he's not hard like you'd think a seed would be, he's a lot more like a giant stress ball if you've ever had one of those.

I JUST LET THE IMAGINATION FLOW INTO MY FINGERS AND WATCH THE MAGIC HAPPEN
WELL KIND OF

;alsdnf Seriously I've had this dude for years (almost since I was 7-8 I think) so it's taken quite the while before I really thought of any backstory for him. x,D But I'm glad that it's finally been coming together ;o;

Braeburn was really fun to design, I've actually had a lot of fun drawing trees over the years compared to the past since I've gotten better at drawing the trunks and the leaves and such

Oh man Pir, you sure are creative! I rally like the concept for Goro! Almost wanna draw him even! xDD

I'd love to hear more about this, eventually. It'd be cool to hear what other things you made up for this world!

Thanks a ton.~ x3

And I've actually got quite a lot for this world already! If you check out my gallery I have a subfolder in my "Original Characters" section that's called "Universe of Imagination" where this dude, along with my persona and all other characters in between come from :D

Granted the ideas are all pretty scattered, but maybe one day I'll get of my lazy behind and organize them all nice and proper
