Might as well make a friend for Ceph.

So this boy here is Rai'zen, mostly referred as Zen. He's the 'cool new kid' that seems to be good at sports, always ignores the girls who have no filter on their crushes on him and rarely takes off his headphones but never really listens to music.

Turns out he's a tentacle alien like our boy, Ceph. I sorta briefly updated minor a tidbit about his nameless species in which in order to pass off as human, they must have an item like an accessory on at all times. In Ceph's' case, a plastic wristwatch, in Zen's, his headphones.

As for role in this dumb story concept i have in my head, Ceph is an alien in disguise and attending a human school. Zen, the new kid discovers Zen's secret and also reveals that he is an alien. Ceph who doesn't know much about his own species or even remembers how he got into this situation, decides to find out more about himself with Zen's help as well as another alien in disguise who gets into their shenanigans. A character whom i yet to draw.

So, just, think of Turning Red, but with aliens.

Personality wise, he is mellow and quite the badass despite his small size, but slightly taller than Ceph. As stated above, very good at sports on the count of his alien heritage and is good at karate. Unlike Ceph, he can turns parts of himself into his true form. May come off as aloof and indifferent, but is generally well natured and smart. Also, quite protective of Ceph. Very protective. Like, will kill everyone in this room and then myself protective.

So, yeah. Wanted to draw more squishy squid/octopus aliens and came out with this guy, and maybe a few more.
