Original Description:

I got these guys cleared with SMASH-ii on deviantART last-minute during their open species MYO event! ;v;/ I'm so happy, I absolutely love Zanshi, but I haven't really been able to commission them for a custom or purchase a CYO slot. X'3 I'll be making one of these babs a Zanshi-sona, I think, see if you guys can guess which~<333 I'm not completely happy with how I draw their anatomy quite yet (especially their legs), but I'll be doodling them often enough anyways so patience until then, I suppose. C:

Zanshi 1:
Name: Kialo
Gender: Male
Element: Shadow (marking is under the right eye.)
Personality: Completely double-sided and usually a bit of an asshole at times. This guy genuinely cares, but he is extremely difficult to get to know. He is utterly mischievous and laughs when others are in pain, not out of spite, but out of instinct. He schools his features often and is a great gambler, simply because he is very good at weighing his options. He doesn't like to be ignored, though, and will often become bitter if he is. He is extremely argumentative and has a penchant for having his quick temper as well as a strong string of violence. However, he can get pretty protective of himself and his friends, and tends to lash out once the situation and cause of trouble has been identified until his opponent is submissive and extremely regretful. He is known for making up insulting names, bad jokes, and perverse or twisted references.

Zanshi 2:
Name: Magellan
Gender: Female
Element: Wind (Marking is on left arm)
Personality: Absolutely determined; she has a strong rage inside her heart that allows her to be a fiery friend. She loves to fly and anything-wind related is automatically appreciated, enjoying her freedom immensely. She refuses to be held down by gravity and to standards, and is utterly stubborn. She's quite short, and secretly enjoys a good cuddle, so long as you allow her to come to you first. She is paranoid and tends to be suspicious and seemingly cruel to others she doesn't know yet, but welcomes them and opens up quickly. Her fears are of failing herself and her friends, and she strives to do her best simply because she knows that her best is a genuine thing to offer others she cares for. If under emotional duress, she is nearly impenetrable when others try to see this, only faltering whenever she becomes extremely reclusive and quiet. This gal is exceedingly loyal and compassionate; understanding and accepting differences is her game, even if it takes a little time.

Zanshi 3:
Name: Strast (Stra or Star work for this guy, too)
Gender: Neutral/ Genderfluid
Element: Life (Marking is over the left eye.)
Personality: Totally lively, this guy is excitable and mischievous, playing pranks and startling others just for the fun of giving someone else a spook. Despite being a prankster, this guy is affectionate and genuine, adoring attention and anything that he can get, and loves people in general, especially newcomers, and absolutely loves to make any and all of them laugh whenever possible. However, they absolutely fear others leaving and forgetting about them, and make it apparent occasionally by trying to chase others down too often for an exchange of affections and approval. More than anything, play is important and cannot ever be undone. This guy is a big softy and tends to be crippled easily, simply because they're super sensitive to others and their own emotions. It is not impossible for them to recover, but they tend to take things harder than most and are either super vulnerable or super protective.
