I FOUND A SCANNER O_O *flips* I might not be able to use it just whenever, but it is pretty sweet finally using one for something ^^
Anyways, this is Taj "Calixte" a Water Angel, though I'm still debating over his last name. I might change it, I just dunno what to change it to. And no, his name wasn't a rip on the Taj Mahal, it just came to me one day and it stuck XD Though Taj Mahal is a fun name in itself...I originally had Taj as a carbon copy of Dimi just blond, but decided to change him up slightly. Mostly just added the headband...but I like Taj, I really do. He's one of my dirty secrets because he's one of my favorites. I find I draw the older generation more, but I enjoy the younger generation far more...
Taj's life is a neglected one. Taj is that character that you love to torture, for little to no reason, and it's not because I don't like him or anything. For practically all his life he's been hopelessly in love with his childhood friend, Kaira. But she's completely oblivious to it (not original, I know) so Taj can never really advance. Kyo is Taj's rival in many ways, and is pretty much better than Taj at everything. Not to mention Kyo also loves Kaira more successfully. Taj can occasionally set aside his differences from Kyo and almost be friends. But not likely.
Then there's Ken. Taj's archnemesis. Ken has spent their entire lives bullying Taj and making his life a living hell. Anything from Taj's appearance to his feelings for Kaira, Ken gives Taj shit for it. So Taj has a strong hatred for Ken, and is rather self-conscious with repressed issues. And unlike with Kyo, Taj and Ken can never get along.
THEN THERE'S DIMI. Taj's father. Dimi's too dumb to raise a kid, and Taj's mother took little interest in raising him to begin with, so Taj was screwed. Taj ends up raising himself, but not without Dimi's constant put-downs and outright neglect. Like Ken, Dimi pokes playful fun at Taj all the time, though he does it for laughs. So Taj had pretty much no one his whole life.
Taj's personality is rather emo and depressed, but he kind of has reason. He's the butt of everyone's jokes. But at the same time he's incredibly selfish at the beginning. And he's the "Eternal Apprentice" I decided because he can never surpass Kyo and is constantly trying to one-up him, but it can never happen.
