Character Concept for FFX-3, Part II! 

🌟  For my Last Will & Testament fic~ 🌟

This time it’s Baralai! Drawn by the ever prolific and magnificent @kingcael!

His weapon arsenal includes his trademark Razor Rod (new and improved, customized by Rikku herself), daishō (a katana and wakizashi) for quick draw fighting, and a handgun christened Razorwing!

His bolero jacket includes the phoenix crest in association with the Spiran Council, and strapped on his right bicep is the Yevonic “G” letter! (A small detail connected to the Warrior Monks of Bevelle.) I wanted to emphasize his departure from the Yevon name by dropping his religious vestments and emphasizing a military-esque look. 

A note by the artist who personally customized his Razor Rod:

“There’s buttons on the connection point of the rings that would activate a sliding mechanism inside to make the spikes stick out… magnets on the pole connection points, as well as a cord inside.

So the blunt part is for heavy jabs that could crack bones with enough pressure, but then the spikes come out for slashing! …The rings detach completely and lock into the ends when they’re in use, but are easier to pack around when they’re not. He could even use the rings as chakrams if he so wished.”
