I'm an inconvenience made for the masses to enjoy

sounds about right! there's a reason it's a joke among eevee keepers that prepping for your eevee to evolve into a specific eeveelution is the best way to guarantee it evolving into literally anything else. they have a knack for finding ways around our plans.

the good news is that many eeveelution-geared companies will offer to exchange things you purchased for one evolution to something that works for another, provided you have your receipt and haven't opened them yet. they're used to this happening. the food you purchased for espeon will work in a pinch until you can get food better suited for umbreon's needs.

guess who.

i did not remove anything from his design, buuut, i did add some things. which you'll see in a sec. WINK

i mainly improved some aspects of him that were unclear, like making his tail way thicker. i also simplified his SOUL design, and fixed some of the STAT info! like showing his accurate height in centimeters (I HOPE), separating both "Judge" and "The Judge" to show only one of his aliases is used as an honorific.

now on to the new stuff.... EHHEEHE

(all the text is in the alt text!)

HE HAS A BODY REFERENCE NOW!!!!!!!!!

and theres clearly something interesting going on here... if you look closely, kratos has markings all over his body. i first had this idea for him a few years ago, as well as the OTHER THINGS i'll get to in a second... a little info on this mysterious RESTORE ability. when aiding damaged AUs, kratos can RESTORE sectioned off areas of damage to the last SAVE state.

if thats true, are there individual SAVE states in specific areas? not in THIS version.... but by replacing the code of the sectioned area with a version thats not damaged, from the most recent and most healthy SAVE, you can repair specific areas of the AU without a total RESET. the RESTORE button does all the work for him. fun fact, kratos crafted this button himself with his complex knowledge of code and code restoration. i'm also not going to get into the elusive "other versions" of what i just described.... maybe.

THE OTHER THINGS

i finally made his bardiche a reference, as well as some of his eye colors and their reasonings!!!!

he can power his bardiche with his magic. he actually uses this to perform his 'finishing move' when Judging his targets.

and his ARTFIGHT PROFILE!!!!!!!!!!! i put some lore there too....... everything i've already "published", but written differently. eheuh. https://artfight.net/character/4949257.kratos
