For a new project my buddy =arvalis started.
the idea is to basically create a character based off of some sort of rare or exotic animal.
And me being a nut for sea creatures, have this obsession with the Mimic Octoous, which is the MOST BADASS octopus EVAR (its ok...you can laugh at me >_> )

So anyway, when Arvalis asked me if i was interested in his project, i immediately thought of this dude i made a long time ago, and redesigned him xD


Being based off the mimic octopus, Banyu is an assasin that specializes in disguise and infiltration.
His hair is obviously inspired by the appendages of the octopus, and his tatoos are to relfect the patterns on the Mimic. He uses nets as a weapon to catch and strangle his enemies, which he keeps rolled up in the large scrolls buckled to his arms.
"Banyu" is Indonesian for "Water" since the Mimic Octopus is found in that general area.
