#ikimi ask

Absolutely!

Their name is Ikimi.

In the VN, you will be able to choose if they are male or female! That's why there are two versions of the mirror art.

They go by any pronouns (she/her, he/him, they/them) so feel free to use whichever ones you want.

I can't reveal too much about them, but here's some random facts:

1. They love fashion (They would love to dress you up if you want!)

2. They're 24.

3. Their term of of endearment for you is Dove.

4. Additionally, they love birds.

Their VN will be the next VN I work on after Where The Maggots Crawl. WTMC is a lore set-up for theirs.

Also, heres some doodles of them :)

I see you caught that! LOL

Maeve, and several other characters, got replaced by two original characters that I made specifically for Dicentra Diaries. (Instead of using past ocs)

Chester and Vincent!

The "protector" plot point is now only relevant if you decide to befriend Vincent.

But don't worry, I'm not a fan of super defenseless and helpless M/Cs. So, if you wish, you can be completely immune to Ikimi's "charms."

Just be prepared for the consequences of ignoring Ikimi!

More Chester + Vincent art:

Ooh! This is SUCH a fun question.

Who wins Vs. Ikimi?

Ikimi relies more on manipulation rather than physical strength. They very often avoid conflict with sly words and being in absolute control over the situation. I have to think about this in a way where they suddenly got into a physical altercation rather than a conflict leading up. Soooo that being said...

Ikimi Vs. Vincent = Tie (Situation dependant)

Ikimi Vs. Maeve = Maeve wins

Ikimi Vs. Isabella = Isabella wins

Who's overall physically stronger?

1. Maeve

2. Isabella

3. Malekimi

4. Vincent

5. Chester

6. Femkimi

There's a reason why Maeve is the strongest physically AND the most skilled. Not only does she work out constantly, but she's regularly in hand-to-hand combat! (She has her bruises and scars for a reason!) There's more to it AND her, but its spoilers :)

Isabella and Ikimi going after the same MC?

In-game reason:

Malekimi wears the sweater/loose clothing because he's scared his muscles would intimidate you! He has an undershirt that shows all his muscles though hahaha.

Dev answer:

Ikimi's outfit design isn't finalized, as I'm mostly focused on WTMC at the moment. I'm having particular trouble designing Malekimi's outfit, but if you guys want him to show more skin, let me know! (Seriously, I would love feedback.)
