The main character for a sprite comic, in a general 8-bit origional retro style set in-quote "in a far flung future".
Aside from poor katana and/or kanji transilation by combining two names, this is the general idea of what he would appear, simple enough to sprite in 8-bit.
For his backstory, he was once a proud soldier who fought in the war, only to be scarred by a mysterious person for life forever being shy -- in fear that he would lose someone once again, on his side. mostly, he would try to gain personal reason to stay on board with his unit, but his own soldiers laugh at him for being the weak of heart.
He carries a semi-automatic pistol, powerful enough to peirce metal and such.
For the art style, I mostly studied whatever concept arts I could find, and this is the end result.
