## Character Design

Enrayus was originally supposed to be a serious swordsman like Zoro but after I found out that Warren was also going to be this serious sniper I wanted to change his personality to be less like Zoro or Warren but more excitable. I like the idea that Enrayus was someone who calm until he sees something new.

I wanted to play a Skypiean because I thought it would be cool and I was thinking how I would a sky islander would make their way to the land below. I like the idea that I could learn things about the world while exploring.

After making him I wanted to give him a brother who's stronger than him as I have a similar thing in real life except my brother but instead of strength my brother is way smarter than me. I took that relationship and made it extreme.

I needed to give him a flaw and I thought wouldn't it be funny that he would ask everyone 'Do you use a sword' and if they say yes he would challenge them to a duel then and there. I also gave him a flaw of being bad with numbers but it hasn't really come up yet, it did when I had to pay for the bear coat but I forgot it at the time.

His hair is a mix of classic anime samurai which sometime have long hair and I made it messy as my hair is constantly messy. The tribal tattoo was something I added as I thought it interesting to add to make him stand out.
