Zheph Skyre

This is a sketch of Zheph Skyre, the main character of my series. There are some parts I have changed here and there over time, but I am using this sketch to start the layout for my animation series.

Zheph is an inventor who starts off living his life in Corthon, the capital city of the country Heartrogard. Although he is only 16, his inventions are mostly steam-punk based. They advanced to all in Corthon, but are not accepted in this city which still lives in a time period like our Medieval period due to the huge walls built around the city. The walls were built for protection, but they are only a hindrance. He is shunned by the townspeople for his innovative ideas, his strange clothes, and his odd appearance of red eyes with red and blonde hair and freckles. I was also thinking of giving him a tail he hides in his trench coat. He is viewed to be a witch or a demon by most people.

He was born in Corthon to a loving mother and father, and had a younger sister all with the same odd features as him except they all had some orange hair instead of red and no freckles. From a young age, he was taught the basics of machinery by his parents, and was able to build his own inventions from there. Unfortunately, his family disappeared when he was seven when the four of them were about to leave Corthon after their house burned down. Zheph managed to return to Corthon, but had no memory as to what happened to his family.

From then on, he lived as a street urchin and helped form a gang of thieves in order to survive. Around the age of 13, he left the gang due to its growing violent nature, and was then targeted by it.

Zheph now wants to leave Corthon and explore the world of Terra Geaya with the only friend he has left, but he is desperately trying to finish his greatest invention...
