Description

Hiya!!!!
:icononigaspplz:...
Hmmm...so, I decided to 'create' another character for the :iconpinoyoct:...but, he's not gonna fight in the tournament or something..(or maybe he will..hahah)....He's just gonna appear as my main character, Mayari's [link] antagonist..if that's the correct term..bwahahah...

...Just trying to make me story more interesting...because I got all this ideas inside my head and I'm starting to get a little cuckoo...:icondizzyplz:...hehe.

I call him Baku...short for Bakunawa...because that is what he's been based to, basically.
In Philippine Mythology, Bakunawa appears as a giant dragon like, sea serpent that devours the moon...believed to be the cause of eclipses...there are supposedly seven moons in the sky, and Bakunawa, amazed by their beauty...would rise up from the ocean and eat them. But before he could swallow the seventh moon, Bathala (the supreme god), punished him. However, Bakunawa still tries to eat the last of the moons..and to keep this from happening...people would make loud noises to scare the serpent. Some would play soothing music in attempt to make the creature go to deep sleep...and brave men can slay him....

In Philippine mythology..heheh..Mayari, is belived to be the goddess of the moon, daughter of Bathala to a human woman.
However, this two creatures never actually met in the 'mythological' world...but in my 'twisted' and tupsy turvy story, they will. But I'm not gonna spoil my plot yet.....na-ah...no matter how much I want to share it...:iconscreamingplz:..

Back to Baku....
This is his human form(in my story..this is his punishment from Bathala), living alone in the outskirts of the city. People appeared to be scared by him since he gives off the aura of being different and creepy.
All though people avoids him, he loves walking down the city's streets, teasing children, intimidating men and charming women.

He doesn't fight much or he appears to be someone who's not interested in fighting...just wanting to let the day pass by quietly and idyllically. But pushed to a corner, and he can ruthless as a monster.
He always carry with him a sword...a sword he nicked from the Spaniards, he says.
His true powers though, lies in his tightly bandaged left arm that could turn into a dragon like claws something like that and the eye hidden under those hair.
And why would he spend his days in such boredom? Err,....it will be on my story about Mayari...its not complex really...the connection is pretty obvious..hahah.

So, yeah....more to come about him...soon..
