With the public release of Update #10 right around the corner on the 1st of February, I think it's time to present one of the changes in it. Julian! Our third v2 update and the most significant change yet. He probably was the one I liked the least, design-wise, from the original 6 main characters. So I'm glad I had the chance to sit down and work out some of that clumsiness of his original design.
So come Update 10, this will be his new look! Of course, Patrons knew about it and saw his new look in action for a good while already! So if you like to support the game, and get cool stuff along the way, then consider subbing to the patreon. :)

Loonatics KR Bios - Koale Hypaethral
Tumblr media
Art created by @segamarkii and character written by @mysticinternetdinosaur
Disclaimer: This character will soon be updated for the fic. I'd like you to please do not use or draw this OC without permission first to @mysticinternetdinosaur
Name: Koale Hypaethral “A.K.A. Discorded/Dracon” (Armadillo Lizard)
DoB: February 11, 2751. Aquarius (Age: 22)
Nationality: American
Relatives: Aprina (Mother), Flint (Absent Father), Elio (Pangolin/Uncle)
Personality: Calm, mature, and clear-headed. Sort of sloppy and careless. Can be in moods of depression.
Appearance: He has a slim brown-scaled body with some muscle showing and a tattoo on the right side of his chest. Like his species, his body is covered with spikes and he has a spikey long tail.
Outfits: 
(Casual Outfit): He wears bohemian-styled clothes which mainly consist of a beanie, a shawl, sunglasses, a white long-sleeve pocket tee, and gray jeans with ripped sides, all of which have holes because of his spikes. He sometimes wears sandals.
(Hero Outfit): His clothes have a medieval look to them. They consist of a gray high-neck sleeveless top with purple patterns, black torn jeans, and Roman sandals under a blue cloak. The color of his scales changes into a mix of light blue & silver. 
Powers/Skills:
[Greatest Hit]: Koale can create music powerful enough to use for many attacks.
[Encore]: Koale can gain different abilities by listening to or playing different kinds of music.
Types of music and their effects:
Any intense or loud music (e.g. Rock, Metal, Pop, Punk) would be considered an attack.
Any music that sounds calming or quiet (e.g. Acoustic, Country, Blues) would be considered supportive.
Weapons: He carries his electric harp-like guitar named Crescendo which can sound like both an acoustic and electric guitar. He uses a chipped piece of the meteor to play Crescendo like a guitar pick. 
Other info:
He was born with Plum-ombre eyes.
His voice became scratchy from his habit of vaping. 
He can impressively pull off rocker’s growls & screams.
He’s attracted to anyone (Pansexual) & crushes very easily.
Similar to his species, Koale can bite on their tail.
He joins Top Voices Got Talent, a TV Music Competition so that he can get his life back together.
Koale always had an unusual knack for composing music. Whenever he performed music, the most astonishing sounds would overflow his listener's heads. It was marvelous. So much so that he got contacted by music producers promising him money and a wealthy lifestyle. The first thing he did after graduating was to work under their terms. The musician named Discorded was born, as he created music under the company’s name.
What Koale didn’t know was that he was making less money than they intended for him. The company was secretly taking a percentage off of his salary. Koale wasn’t keeping track of his money for his equipment, outfits, and the backstage passes he got… to add more salt to the wound.
Eventually, the producers cut all deals from him and made him broke. Almost all of his deals from the studio were given to someone else because they had “more talent and money.” When news about his partnership spread, everyone that he knew left him. So you could say that he lost everything. His house, money, friends, family, and career were all gone.
As soon as Discorded vanished from the world, so did he. Koale had decided to drive from his home state to Oregon to cover his shame. He could make it through by busking with a guitar he still had. He still played music, but it just wasn’t the same.

And next up in the design evolution series we got Julian. Who clearly never managed to even get close to the heights of his pre-release placeholder. But you know, some of us just peak really early. Can't hold it against Jules.
And yeah, he also had an intermediate step between version 1 and 2, so the template broke and I was too lazy to sort it out. But yeah, a design where I knew very early that I wasn't quite happy with it, and it only continued on as I got to know the character better and developed a better feel for him as he became the kind of playfully bratty lizard that he is now. So yeah, A redesign was most certainly in order and he's one of the ones that that probably had the biggest glow-up between v1 and v2.

Creature Awaits #225
Each week I plan to feature an amazing creature, admiring God's fantastic artistry. Hopefully it’ll brighten someone’s day to see something new and interesting if they haven’t seen it before. : )

The Armadillo Lizard
A.K.A: The Armadillo Girdled Lizard, The Golden-Armadillo Lizard
Scientific Name: Ouroborus cataphractus
Region: The Succulent Karoo ecoregion along the far southwestern coast of Africa
Size: Usually about 3"-3.5" (7.5cm-9cm) minus the tail, though they can grow a bit larger
Interesting Notes: Both this adorable lizard's genus, "Ouroborus," and common name, "Armadillo," call to its unique self-defense mechanism where it will bite its own tail and roll into a ring to protect its belly and expose only its sharp spikes.
Global Zoo uploaded a BBC clip featuring Sir David Attenborough observing this intriguing behavior:

KR-fied re-written by @mysticinternetdinosaur and @kervinredfire
"Stupid Dad and his stupid dojo..." Ace mumbled under his breath, looking at his feet as he walked who knew where.
He'd been walking for a good while already but didn't know how long exactly. He just kept going until the hills, where his house was located, were lost behind the city's skyscrapers. The noises of flying cars and busy streets soon took over and he found himself not far from Acme University, where he had been studying for the past three years to obtain a Martial Arts coaching degree – which, of course, had been forced onto him by his paternal.
His mind was still wrapped around his argument with his father. Why couldn't he understand that military life was his calling? Not like he hated martial arts, he found it to be of good use if somebody tried to mess with him. But being forced into it just for the sake of "legacy" was extremely annoying – if not oppressive. No matter what he said, Nao would never allow him to decide for himself. What kind of parent does that? And he was twenty-one, for goodness' sake! He shouldn't even have to obey his father's wishes!
Still lost in his thoughts, he didn't even see the tall, black limousine parking beside the sidewalk and the young lady getting out of it. Before he could even register her presence, they both bumped into each other. Ace felt the pain in his jaw and cursed between his teeth, putting his hand on his furry white cheek. He lifted his eyes toward the other person – a rabbit, just like him, with cream-colored fur and green eyes, wearing what he guessed was a cheerleading uniform. She was holding her head with a hand, most certainly where he accidentally hit her.
They both looked at the others, and right at the same time, they sputtered:
"I'm sorry!"
"No wait, I'm sorry," Ace objected, "I wasn't watching where I was going! Are you hurt?"
"I-I'm fine," the girl replied, still holding her head. "Just a bit stunned, that's all. What about you? I'm sorry, I didn't see you there!"
"Oh, nothing bad, don't worry!" he reassured her with a friendly smile, suddenly forgetting his anger from only a few seconds before. "I guess we both need to be more careful with our surroundings, right?"
The other rabbit nodded with an amused smile and, oh, welp, she was cute, Ace thought. She was around his age and could be attending Acme University too. But he never saw her before, so maybe she was on another course. There were more of them there than fingers on both hands after all.
Suddenly, the girl seemed to remember something as her expression changed for a concerned look.
"Oops, sorry, I have to go!" she excused herself, taking off toward a building a few feet from them. "And sorry again!"
She disappeared behind the doors of a multi-sports facility, leaving Ace alone where he stood while the limousine next to him finally left. Apparently, she was also rich.
He sighed; he was a bit disappointed he didn't get the chance to talk a bit more with her. At least that would have helped him ease his mind. Well, maybe he'd run into her again in the future, who knew?
Deciding he needed something to keep himself busy, preferring not going home yet, at least not until lunch, he thought about his options. Many of his classmates had already gone home to other states to see their families, leaving him on his own. He remembered there was a science forum at Acme University, but science wasn't his thing and it was mostly for future students who chose scientific courses. With a sigh, Ace finally opted to go to the beach. He didn't attend to swim – he had no swimsuit with him anyway – but rather found a quiet place to think.
The rabbit then walked until he saw a subway entrance and took off toward the west of Acmetropolis. Thankfully, he had his credit card on him to pay for a ticket. But while he was waiting, he could hear a familiar song play across the subway. It was an old song that he used to listen to a long time ago. The artist who performed that song had mysteriously disappeared during a series of events. He continued to go inside the train.
•••
The beach wasn't entirely quiet – it was right next to some restaurants and much smaller buildings than the skyscrapers in the middle of Acmetropolis. But for now, the place was mostly calm, with only the sound of the waves to break the silence. Ace didn't take his shoes off and simply walked on the almost white sand. He stopped only a few meters from where the waves gently crashed on the beach and lifted his brown gaze toward the horizon. He took a deep breath, feeling a small breeze caress his fur.
So, what now? He couldn't convince his father to let him live his dreams. Serving his country really mattered for him, but as long as he lived with his father, Nao would always come in the way.
Maybe... maybe he needed to move out. Find another place to live, far from his paternal so he would finally be left alone. He would have to find a job in another city to rent a small flat for himself, and once he saved enough money, he would be able to register in the army. That sounded like a good plan. Now he just needed to break the news to his father. Another day, of course; he had his fair share of arguments today.
As he was walking down the sand, he heard someone singing faintly in the air. He soon comes across an armadillo lizard playing on an electric guitar. The music is good to say the least. His voice was a bit scratchy, but the lyrics matched perfectly with the tempo. The busker finishes the song they were playing. He looks around, seeing that there is no one listening. Ace decides to tip him a few dollars. The busker takes notice of Ace's donation. "Thanks man!" He says in satisfaction.
"Sure, anytime." He says showing some slight stress. The lizard also takes notice of this. "Hey, why the blues?"
"Oh, uh. It's nothing really." Ace answers to him. "Just having a bad day, that's all."
"Really?" He says while tuning his guitar. "Well if it could cheer you up, got a song request?"
He was a bit surprised to hear this. "Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I am!" He answers, cheerfully. "Besides, I can play any song of any genre. Name it, and I'll play it. Your call."
He thinks of a song they can play. Then, a song comes up in his mind. "Can you play 'Faded Paradise' by Discorded?"
When the busker heard this, he was taken aback. "Uh..." He starts to look around in random places. "Are you sure you can't choose something else?"
Ace was confused by this statement. "But didn't you just say that you can play any song?"
"Sorry, any song BUT electronic." He says. "If you want, I can play anything else. I can play pop, folk, country, blues, R&B, jazz, rock, classical, classic rock..." He started to see Ace's disapproval of this. "You really want me to play this, don't you?"
"Just this one time?" He asked politely.
The busker sighs loudly. "Fine. But just this one time." He then started to play the song Ace requested. The performance of the song was beyond words. It was calm and peaceful, and it was as if his worries had faded away. He could only listen in awe at the way he was playing. The busker finally finishes the song. "So, how was it?"
"That was awesome!" Ace excitingly says. "You were able to sound like Discorded himself! It was perfect! Almost too perfect..." The song he played sounded familiar to the one he heard on the subway. He then started to put the two and two together. "Wait a minute..."
"Oh no." The busker says worryingly.
"You're Discorded!" He shouted. A few people started to stare at the two.
"Shhh! Not too loud!" Discorded whispered at him. The people ignored them and walked away.
"Fine, you caught me." He said, defeated. "I am Discorded. I mean, I was Discorded. But please just call me Koale."
"So this is where you've been for the past few years!" Ace says with excitement. "What happened to you?"
"Hum... Well... Uhhh... " Koala started to fiddle with his guitar pick. "Alright, I'll tell you. Just sit down with me for a bit, okay?"
Ace decides to sit next to him as Koale tells his story.
"I started to play music when I was around 14 years old." He said as he fiddled with his guitar pick. "For some reason though, no matter what I create, it becomes a total hit. Soon, some music producers found out about my talent and asked me for a partnership. I got a bit too cocky and said yes."
"What happened then?" Ace asked him.
"Let's just say I fell down hard. Very hard," He continued. "It turned out that I wasn't really making as much money as I thought. And I was a fool back then. I started to spend my money on almost everything. Clothes, shoes, and music gear; I wasn't keeping track of my savings. Eventually, they decided to cut my partnership with them and do it with some other dude."
Koale took a moment to inhale his vape pen, then blew out a big puff of vapor. "After that, everything went downhill for me. I lost my career, my so-called friends left me, and I basically shamed myself. I just couldn't handle the pressure I was under. So I left my hometown and drove to anywhere I could go. During my travels, however, I heard that Acmetropolis was going to be holding a music competition with a big prize at the end. So yeah, that's why I'm here."
He then looks up at the clear blue sky. "But I'm super nervous right now. What if I fail again just like I did last time? I don't want to go through that again."
"I think I can feel the same way." Ace finally talks to him. Koale looks at him with curiosity. "Oh?"
Ace continues with his problems. "I've been getting into fights with my dad recently. For some reason, he doesn't approve of the ideas I have. I want to go into the military and help others, but he wants me to inherit our family legacy when he becomes old. But I'm twenty-one for crying out loud! I already have dreams of my own! I don't want to be trapped inside the dojo for the rest of my life!"
"So, a 'dream being held down' type of problem?" Koale replies.
"I guess you can say that." He answers.
Koale takes another puff from his pen. "I don't think he's wrong. Being in the military is a hard thing to do. He probably just wants to keep you safe."
"C'mon, my father raised me in martial arts." Ace interrupts Koale. "I think I'll be fine."
"Fine, show me some of your moves."
Ace starts to show him some of the moves he was taught over the years. There were a few punches here and there, but one of the moves that really got his attention was when he jumped and did a roundhouse kick. After that, Koale was left speechless.
"Whoa..." He said in awe. "Okay. I think you'll be fine."
Ace wipes some of the sweat on his fur. "I'm glad I got some of that out of my system, but I need to go now. Thanks for helping me talk about my issues."
"No problem," Koale says. "But I think you should patch things up with your father. Try to see if things can work out. Take it easy."
Ace waves at him. "Later." He continues to walk on the sand.
