I'm afraid I still haven't caught onto the naming convention surrounding him. ^^;

However! I do think Ba'al looks neat. :3 Might just be a concept sketch, but it's definitely a good start. *nodnod*

Though on a different note, that expression makes him look like the type who's main reason for eating you is "Because you're food." Stated in that bemused tone that food wouldn't realize it's food.

sounds like a fairly accurate interpretation of him XD

Well in that case, we need to stuff a bunneh in him. x3 Or some pokemorph or another, if things have to be kept "in world" x3 *snickers*

Kinda funny the final boss is a species that is, statistically, nothing impressive compared to most other electric types. Can't underestimate anything, I suppose...

Oh, and I don't know for sure, but is the name theme you're referring to related to World Ends With You?

Nope, haven't even played that one I'm afraid.

And yeah, course I had a couple reasons for choosing Manectric too, but one of the key ones that just "sorta happened" and I found amusing is that it follows the "natural order" of things. The balance of power is kept as Mouse < Cat < Dog, Raichu < Luxray < Manectric.

Oh... well, in that case, what were your reasonings for choosing the species? And what's the naming theme you went with? I thought it was WEWY because one character adds "Zetta" to everything he says while "Gig" and "Ba'al" sound like names or phrases that would be used in the game (never played it myself either, but my brother and several friends wouldn't stop talking about how awesome it was a while back, naturally piquing my curiosity XP).

I don't think anyone's getting the naming scheme, can you tell us?

aww, but if you can't tell then that makes their names more original then I thought they were, right? XD Sooo... maybe I should just keep that under wraps... <.<;;

please tell me, I hate being left in the dark.

Well, I'll first state that I created the Raichu character prior to playing this game, but since the personalities felt similar, I decided to name him "Gig" after a main character in the game Soul Nomad. And since Soul Nomad is a Nippon Ichi title that takes place somewhere within the Disgaea universe, I decided to name anyone else directly related to my character Gig after other characters from the Disgaea universe(though their personalities may not necessarily coincide with that of their Disgaea counterparts). So any other character within my Astray series directly related to Gig have been named after characters from that universe... those so far being: Vigilance, Lord Zetta, Layna, and Ba'al.

Disgaea? I've heard of that game but have never played it heh.

you be missing out X3
then again, I haven't necessarily played the original Disgaea myself XD though I do own it now... just haven't had the chance to get to it. My first title within the series was Makai Kingdom, which was absolutely wonderful X3 though the whole getting to level 100 thing was a BITCH, but once I finally managed it with all my characters going beyond it was actually pretty easy. So it went back to being fun again after that X3

heh cool.

well he does certainly look villanous but cute
