Description Character Design project, I have mixed feelings about the final product for this assignment but everyone seemed to like it during crit? Haha.

Anyway, I took an existing character from my yet-to-be-might-not-even-happen-Manga.

Character Info:
His name is Kenjiro Takamori, better known as Ken, codnamed Sieben. (don't worry, he's the only remotely important character that has Japanese heritage. He's not even pure, a halfy)

He enjoys spending most of his time being lazy, hoarding money, sleeping, smoking, and/or drinking. His past? He'd rather not talk about.

An ex-Lunarian military soldier turned solo freelance mercenary, Ken led a rather solitude life taking on jobs whenever he could for money until he bumped into a certain group of extremist peacekeepers...

His right arm is bio-cybernetic and extremely powerful utilizing the superior Lunarian technology of "compression". When in it's "compressed" state the arm has sufficient power to wield a giant cleaver-like sword effortlessly and quite possibly pick up your average car.

When his right eye is exposed, a chain reaction begins "releasing" the arm's full power allowing it to access immeasurably levels of force. Unfortunately, such a state can not be controlled hence it being a last-resort for dire situations.

- Retractable blade from Exacto knives.
- Overall personality based roughly off Nicolas D. Wolfwood from Trigun
- Berserking cybernetics from the "Berserker Body" in Battle Angel Alita

I like this concept of the arm. For the concept of his arm did you base on the Berserker body from the manga of Battle angel Alita (Original title "Gunnm")
