The new universe is starting to exercise my creativity. So here's a few more characters that have since come up...

Returning to the situation regarding the conflict between the Byakko kingdom and the Seiryuu kingdom, Fresco and his friends stumble upon one of the Byakkos' most capable warriors, a young woman named Katsuko, who claims to be the daughter of the Byakko leader. She has a sophisticated charm and is conscious of her looks, but is not one to run from a fight. Using a natural grace, signature abilities and a special umbrella, Katsuko is a formidable opponent... one that Ichigo has become quite keen of. With this detail in mind, Fresco believes this potential relationship to be the key to peace between the two kingdoms...

They also happen upon a strange statue in a forgotten part of the world. They know not what to make of it, but it's after Evan's reckless behavior that shows its significance. Inside is a Creation named Hanabi who bears the appearance of a Kyubi Kitsune. She unfortunately has all the makings of a damsel in distress and can't fend for herself, but has a thing for strong and protective types. While she had a temporary liking to Fresco, Evan, and Ichiro, she eventually began to admire someone rather unlikely; the guardian Creation Kensuke...

During the journey they are visited by a strong, fearsome Cerberus named Arson, who was in charge of Nubi's punishment and intended execution. Apparently her punishment was not just banishment from the Angels of Death but also an execution as well (eye for an eye appears to be part of the code). Nubi's new friends seem bent on keeping her safe, but it's risky when confronting the powerful guardian of the next worlds. ( --this is one of the only few times where a character introduced in The Utopian Legend is crossing into Dystopia's timeline.)

One more character of mention is a mysterious drifter by the name of Ray Axios. Apparently depressed after the murder of his sister, he has sworn to find the killer and exact his vengeance. He is armed with a unique guitar that doubles as an axe. His abilities appear to circle around the concept of sound, and while it doesn't sound like much it can be an effective tool. What Legend he is, I will mention that it's not one confirmed for The Utopian Legend, but I had thought about it. The design would be altered a bit, and I can't decide if he should be green or purple...
