Holy shiiiit I love Janus' concept and design!!! Do you have any silly fun facts about them? (Feel free to yap as much as you like btw !!!

YAY im glad you like JANUS !!!!!!

since he's kind of a newborn i havent had much time to accumulate fun facts about the guy, he's essentially still in his larval stage. but i do have a few!

his natural hair color is purple but is turning into a muddy greyish-green due to excessive magic exposure! he also once had a normal skin color but he is now a lovely shade of green

the rubber gloves he has on are enchanted and is what allows him to operate, its all he needs to sort of reach in there and move stuff around hehe

you can only discern this in one pic but he does wear high heels/stilettos all the time cause why not ☺ he's become so good at sleepwalking in them

#now i DO have more to say in terms of inspiration but i dont know if id consider them fun facts #but since ive been given special yapping privileges ill leave bonus info in the tags :)#both janus AND also grymberk i can say are results of what has become all the rage in my mind that is:#Wizards who are Perverted about Magic #which is 100% borne from my love of james cobb from inscrypton or at least my interpretation of him #the teal/red eye on the alternate color palette is also a nod to that #i also needed to make jan cause i needed a wizard who does more easily cancellable magic than grymberk #going into final fantasy blind about what a black mage actually entails left me somewhat disappointed #i was expecting them to do like necromancy or something but instead they kinda just do elemental stuff #(grym had to become the cbt wizard in order to hold my interest in her. it worked btw)#however janus is chained to no rules or morality or ethics and his version of black magic is anything i want it to be #another inspo for him is jared the boneturner from magnus archives! jan's magic operates in a similar way to jareds bone grabbing trick #aaand i was ultimately spurred to make this character because i had a huge crush on the doctor woman from the intro to outlast trials #https://youtu.be/ZxV-wSeAXUU?t=171 #<-warning for gore🙂
