Nokt walked around the dark room; "Again! Summon as much power as you can."
Jay took in a deep breath, sitting in the center of the room. His hands held close as if cradling a small creature that began to glow. Small crackles emanated from the glowing orb between his hands. Arcs of lightning sparked and crackled, lighting up the dark room with its blue glow. The light and crackling got brighter and louder as Jay's hands began to shake.
The air started to smell of ozone as Jay's hands shook too much to keep it going, and the lightning died quickly with one last angry crack. Jay sighed as he slumped forward, resting his hands in his lap as if they weighed a thousand pounds.
Nokt scowled, "That was a poor performance." Nokt turned away from his student. "You're powers are stunted and out of control."
"I know," Jay mumbled, clenching his hands.
Nokt paced slowly, hands clasped behind his back. "How do you focus your element?" Nokt asked, turning his head towards his student.
Jay blinked, "Uh- I just tap into it."
"No, what are you focusing on when you summon your element? A memory? A feeling? An object?"
Jay was quiet for a moment, thinking before answering.
"I focus on the sharp pain in my hands, on how much electricity is escaping, on my breathing as I try to keep my element in control."
Walking back towards Jay, he sat in front of him, "That is the problem."
"That I'm breathing?"
"No, you are scared of your powers," Nokt sharply replied. "Each elemental power is different. Some elements ground their wielder while others must stay grounded, or you will lose control."
"How do I stay grounded?"
"You must overcome your fear, and replace it with something you can control. Something in you that is unwavering and channel your element through it. As the elemental master of lighting; it must be something unshakable in yourself, or you will lose all control. Instead of you wielding your element, your element would wield you." Nokt said, pointing his finger at Jay.
"How am I supposed to find this 'unshakable' thing? What do you use?" Jay asked. Nokt stayed silent for a moment, brows furrowed in thought.
Bringing his hand up, it began to glow with the faint white glow of his residual element that had grown weak after a millennium in the Nether-Space. "When I was just a child a god of the ocean destroyed my home. When I received my element shortly thereafter, I struggled to control my powers as well."
"Until I focused my element through the one emotion I had burning through me, focused and forged into a weapon of its own." His hand glowed stronger and turned red.
"Revenge."
Nokt closed his hand, cutting off the little elemental power he had summoned. He said nothing else as he stood and left the room, leaving his student to ponder on his words.

more oc doodles... tested a braid for him!! also made the butterfly motif more obvious w the butterfly clips... i rly wanted him to have them but rarely drew him from the back so...
this post is kinda short so gonna post some old art w commentary under the cut bc i dont think i posted them here before🤧 thought i did but....
(oct 2020) happy to see visible improvement from then heh... this is where i first got him closer to his current design/palette + decided on the purple/yellow palette and the inverting eye color idea... normally pretty and shiny but w a creepy spotted butterfly eye look when using his powers (simplified the dots to just 3 in his current design)...
more recent doodles (apr 2022)... these r cute tbh i like the 2nd pic, he looks so fluffy + u can see the butterfly hairtie... but i still wasnt satisfied w his design...
in my most recent attempt at designing him(aug 2023) i changed several things... made his bangs longer for a more elegant look(which is actually closer to how it was before)... figured out how to draw his eyes + eyebrows better + more consistent(had been going back n forth btwn double/mono eyelids and thick/thin eyebrows... finally settled on sleepy double eyelids + thick brows) + i also changed the placement of his moles... (used to be right under his eye; changed to middle of cheek + another near the nose.. aka the txt soobin mole KFJKS I like how this new placement gives him a softer and gentle elegant look?? it's subtle but I like it a lot better... Oh also I made his sideburn locks shorter instead of long and curly and I like this change a lot too... idk it looks cuter to me KJFKS I gave him the long curly ones before bc i thought it'd look more unique but... i decided it's more important that I personally like it rather than just give traits to set him apart... he already looks plenty flashy w his eyes and colors anyway🤧
bonus: another pass from p recently (may 2023) where, unsatisfied and wondering how to fix his design, attempted straying further from prev attempts by testing a middle part (and also a mole near his mouth)... but I was actually getting colder and not warmer.... I don't like these but at least I tested it to know that I don't like it!! u can also see a test doodle of the spiky green guy (hyojun) here lol
And finally, here's 1 of his very first design attempts from way back in aug 2019!!! (u can see early hyojun too...)
This was back when I was just starting to figure the current ver of his chara/personality/role in the story... not fleshed out at all but i at least had a vague idea and this was when I decided he would be purple (instead of other palette ideas i had considered earlier like brown hair, orange coding...) But at this early stage I hadnt come up with the butterfly motif, or the purple/yellow palette (he was purple/magenta here) or darker skin... Tbh I consider this a "beta design" bc theres sm thing that were diff/not decided yet but it's technically the same chara ckdbf
I can't fit any more images ㅠㅠ but u can see more concept sketches in this twitter thread... and yea I was testing an inverted eye concept even back then... I really liked this idea so I didn't want to abandon it, and im happy I made it even better since w the butterfly concept *_*
