Aiden
Aiden Ref. Sheet (Ver. 1)
Aiden
Human • he/him • 28 years old • INTJSetting
Cyberpunk/Futuristic
Background Lore
Aiden grew up as a son of a wealthy family in a safe-sheltered environment in the affluent part of the city.
From a very early age, it showed that he was gifted with above-average intelligence. Given the good financial situation of the family, he was able to get an excellent education. He graduated with a degree in 'engineering and augmentation technology' from one of the most renowned universities at the age of 18 as one of the youngest students in over a decade and got his master's degree just a year later.
A year after that, at the age of 20 he started his own tech company for human augmentations with starting capital that was provided by his parents. Due to the quality of the augmentations, the company was soon considered to provide the "gold standard for human augmentations" and competed with international players in the market.
After three years, Aiden was blackmailed into committing a crime that resulted in him losing his company and cost his brother his life. In turn, Aiden was forced to go underground and flee to the outskirts of the city where the slums lay. With no possessions other than the clothes he was wearing, he was still greeted with disdain and resentment due to being a widely known public figure and the rich generally being frowned upon by the people in the slums.
Almost starved and beaten to death he was eventually saved by a bounty hunter who would soon take him in and become his mentor.
Aiden took up the profession as well to make a living, and although he stays a lone wolf who doesn't allow people to get close to him, he slowly regained the trust of the people in the slums, to the point that Aiden now is an insider tip in the underground for when someone needs to have their augmentations fixed.Personality & Additional Info
ReservedHesitant to trust peopleLone wolfIntrovertedTough on the outside, soft on the insideBlames himself for his brother's deathAlways carries a quite worn picture of him and his brother in his pocket in the fear of forgetting his faceShields himself from ever getting close to someone again in fear of getting emotionally blackmailed again and comes across as cold due to itHas a black cat named 'Pixel' that he picked up on the streetsTalks to his cat often when they're alone and when he needs to vent*

KAEKO
Kaeko Ref Sheet
Kaeko - 楓子 (かえこ)
Kitsune • Rōnin • she/her • 140 years old (physically ~mid-late twenties)Setting
fantasy Edo-period, Japanese Folklore
Background Lore
Kaeko is a rare black fox who grew old enough to become a kitsune and transform into a human.
She was caught by blackmarket traders and quickly sold off for a heafty sum of money to a wealthy family who owned a gambling den. They held her captive over two generations because of the rarity of her fur color and treated her like an expendable object to showcase their wealth. She was frequently presented to wealthy patrons at the casino and offered as a price in gambles. Due to the owner's cheating however he never lost in a gamble though and instead raked in the cash. Whenever she didn't do what the family wanted, she was beaten back into obedience with a whip. Because of this harsh treatment her back is littered with healed whip scars.
She was freed thanks to a Kitsune Rōnin named Reiji who "won her" in a gamble against the owner of the gambling den.
He escorted her out of the establishment and to his friend Akito, a medically knowledgable but outwardly reserved blue oni, where she was able to physically recover from most of the maltreatment.
After gaining some of her strength back she asked Reiji to train her in sword-fighting which he agreed on. She, too, lives as a Rōnin by his side since.Personality & Additional Info
At first reservedQuickly turns into a bubbly character once you get to know her betterShe is a bit goofy at times, especially when she sees something she likesHesitant to emotionally open up to people at firstDue to her long captivity, she is naive and susceptible to being scammed by traders and merchantsLoves fried tofuLoves sake but gets drunk quicklyLoves japanese maplesAlways appears cheerful on the outside but has emotional scars & trauma that sometimes resurfacesShe can summon little blue fox fires (kitsunebi).

REIJI
Reiji Ref Sheet
Reiji - 伶士 (れいじ)
Kitsune • Rōnin • he/him • 180 years old (physically ~mid-late twenties)Setting
fantasy Edo-period, Japanese Folklore
Background Lore
Reiji used to be a samurai for an influential clan. Still quite young, carefree and loyal to a fault he found himself being framed for the murder of his close friend and the patriarch of the clan one day.
The remaining members of the clan tried to force him to commit seppuku to rectify tainting his and the clan’s honor. Reiji, shocked about the betrayal, refused and decided to flee instead. In the fight that broke out as a consequence, he was gravely wounded around the neck and barely managed to escape with this life.
Close to bleeding out and delirious Reiji was found by a blue Oni named Akito who carried him back to his home where he treated his wounds.
After recovering from his grievous injury Reiji began striding the path of a Rōnin, leaving his former self and life fully behind him. Akito remains one of Reiji’s closest friends to this day.
Reiji’s power is *premonition*, which allows him to see a few seconds of the immediate future. This not only makes him a strong swordsman - it’s also extremely useful for gambling. Hence he finds himself drawn to gambling dens and tends to visit each one he finds - that is, until he ends up banned for the suspicion of fraud because of his overproportionate win ratio.
One day he found a gambling den where he spotted a fellow kitsune at. He frequently saw her being presented like a prized trophy to wealthy patrons by the owner of the establishment, before she was beaten and whipped back into obedience behind closed doors right after.
The owner, too, eventually suspected that Reiji may be cheating, but instead of kicking him out and sending him on his way, like everyone else usually does, he saw it as a challenge to outsmart Reiji by using cheats himself.
The owner handed the dealer his loaded dice before overconfidently challenging Reiji to a game of Chō-Han with the intent of cleaning Reiji out entirely. In turn, the sly fox won round after round which made the owner become increasingly more furious. After switching out the dice one last time he went all in and placed the casino as his bet, losing it in turn after Reiji unsurprisingly won yet again.
In order to prevent losing his property the owner immediately called upon his guards and ordered them to kill Reiji, which ended with the owner cowering in a corner, crying and begging for his life, while drenched in the blood of his men.
Reiji retorted that he should’ve tried talking to him first before sending his men - then he would’ve gotten to know that he wouldn’t have wanted the casino in the first place. Instead, he informed the owner that he'd be taking the kitsune that was being held captive here with him, before he left without another word, with her in tow.Personality & Additional Info
sly bastardappears suave/insincere but actually cares about those close to himconfidentstubbornvigilante (outscams the scammers)loves plum wine and everything that is extremely spicyAlways wears his Kimono off-shoulder - even when it’s freezing. He absolutely refuses to wear it properly because then, according to him, it doesn’t look stylish enough. Kaeko frequently scolds him for it, especially when he starts whining about it in winter.favorite gambling game: mahjong - because his premonition doesn’t affect it as much as other gambling games which makes it more exciting to himbefore his banishment, he used to be a different person until he was backstabbed and framed by his clanhe doesn’t like talking about his past
Design Notes

General
I have the right to refuse any commission that would make me uncomfortable.
I'm not responsible if Twitch declines your emotes.
If you have commissioned art for Twitch, I would appreciate to be attributed as an artist for the channel and for the emote(s); my name on Twitch is Andariya - [How to credit] (do not just give me the channel role! Attribute me directly in the emotes tab where you upload your emote!)
Revisions
One major revision and up to three smaller revisions during the sketch phase are included in the price. Afterward, I reserve the right to charge an additional fee.
Once the sketch is approved I will only do minor revisions until 7 days after. Otherwise, additional charges may apply. This rule only applies to chibi commissions, I will no longer change anything about full illustrations after I turn in the commission.
Delivery
My usual turnaround time is ~7-14 days, this may vary depending on how full my waitlist is. Ask me if you want a rough estimate.
I will not complete the commission until the sketches are approved. The longer the approval takes the longer the delivery will take, too.
All deliveries are digital only.
Use
You may use the artwork for the purpose specified in your commission (e.g.: profile picture, twitch emote, etc.).
You may post the artwork that you have commissioned; however, you must give clear credit back to me.
You are not allowed to claim that you created the artwork yourself.
Intellectual Property Rights
I reserve the right to post the (watermarked) commission. If you need it to be a secret for a while, please inform me ahead of time.
You do not have the right to use my work commercially (outside of Twitch, Discord, YouTube or the agreed-upon platforms), resell, modify or change it.
Usage of the commission in the training of AI, as guides for AI, or selling as an NFT is prohibited.
If you want to use the art commercially (e.g. merchandise), you are obligated to inform me about it so we can talk about commercial and resale rights.
Refunds
No refunds, unless there was an error on my end or in cases of extreme unforeseen incidents.
In cases of unforeseen incidents, I reserve the right to keep the transaction or currency conversion fees.
Communication
I'm available through Twitter DMs (@Andariya_Art), Instagram (andariya_) or E-Mail (contact form).
If you've commissioned me I'll contact you: once the sketching stage is finished and once again after the coloring stage is finished.
