Design History of Azorin Albright

Added 2019-06-29 21:29:43 +0000 UTC

Welcome again to this not-so-secret design post. This one is about Azorin Albright, a character owned by Ryo (RyoRedux on FurAffinity). He's an important early supporter of our project. In case you missed how our Patreon reward tiers were structured before: We used to have a $100 tier at the infancy of our project which had two slots; if you pledged for enough months you could get your own character into the game as a dateable character.

With Azorin, the character design we had to add was mostly the profession and how he fit into the plot, since his visuals were pretty much given. Before the project overhaul, he was supposed to be a cop and the plan was that instead of going to the duskin camp with Brymror, you would go to the police instead. Brym would have reported you missing to the police, so he wanted to go there to tell them that he found you.

That obviously changed, but the profession of making him a cop was something the other writer had rather wanted. With the rewrite, we had the opportunity to tweak his design; his personality, his quirks and the background that were agreed on hardly changed but he's now a private investigator.

His wardrobe of course also changed with his new profession and his looks are now inspired by the classic looks of a gumshoe detective you would find. His coat may or may not have even been inspired by a particular gumshoe.
