Probably my oldest character, but I have ignored him for some time now.
He was my sona during my teenage years and I love him very dearly <3 His design is very complicated, but it was the time of sparkledogs and shit xD

His backstory:
Born in a fur farm, his life was a small cage in a row of other small cages. Narrow, without shelter from the weather except for a rusty roof he spent his days growing up to be the next cool coat or collar or accessoire.
He made friends with his cell neighbors and grew up to be bigger and stronger than the rest of them. And one stormy, fateful night, lightning struck the ground and chaos broke loose. Some cages were damaged, Ao's was too and so he freed himself, his friends and as many as he could before the guards came to get a hold of this mess.
He and his friend NicoNico got caught briefly, one guard broke a vertebrae in Ao's neck and when Nico² bit him to get him off of Ao's neck, the guard ripped off Nico²s lower jaw entirely. Ao could flee and after some others came for help, Nico² made it too. They ran until they couldn't run no more.
From then on, Ao's purpose was clear to him: Free others in his situation and make everyone involved in their suffering pay for it.

I made and got many illustrations of him. Most are on deviantArt since I was most active there back then. Some of those are a bit gory, so tread with caution if you're not into that!

You can find most art from others here
And mine here
(Yeah, I even have a tattoo of him!!!)
