As I've hinted around to a few people, here is my redesigned original character, Endri. From now on, this is (ideally) what he will look like, and who he will be. I hope everyone will enjoy the changes!

EDIT : I've removed some info on Endri because I'm not sure if it was what I really wanted displayed. I thought I was done revising him (and others as well), but I don't think I am yet. I've left only the information that will probably never change.

Character & Personality :

Endri likes to keep to himself and is very tight-lipped about his past and does not like to discuss it for many different reasons. He generally doesn't like it when people touch him, and he spends long hours by himself either exercising or training his powers. He tends to alienate himself from his father, Beetlejuice, and would rather not associate with him too often as he is embarrassed and disgusted by him.

Since Endri is a Corporeal Ghost from Earth, he is physically different from ghosts of the Neitherworld. His skin tone is deathly, but not verging on lavender like his father's. He is also different internally, which is a big compensation for his large energy requirements.

Endri is a very grounded individual. He prefers the Earth over the Neitherworld, and he's very proud of his Viking heritage. He will occasionally drink when he feels like it, and has been known to make his own mead (a kind of beer made from honey). He is also known to smoke cigarettes, though only when feeling anxiety, so it's a rarity.

Added Tidbit - Differences in the Old & New Design :

Starting from the ground up, so to speak, one of the most noticeable differences between the old and new design for Endri is his flesh tone (old: lavender-colored/new: pale). The reasoning for the color change was to differentiate him in a more extreme way from other ghosts from the Neitherworld (and his father). Since he is from Earth, not the Neitherworld, he has developed in a very different way. His color palette is composed of mostly earth-tones.

Endri also now has a tattoo on his upper right arm. It is of Viking nature and symbolic of all Endri is.

The beetle necklace that was given to Endri by his mother is no more. Instead he wears his own necklace which is a Viking representation of a bird of prey (eagle). He also wears a Viking runic ring. They are two of his very few personal possessions. The eagle was designed after actual Viking artifacts discovered in digs. The ring is more modern.

Another large change in his character is the removal of the influence of the Japanese culture on himself and his language. Instead, he falls back on his own cultural heritage.

Most importantly, there has been layers upon layers of detail added to the character that were not even conceptualized when he was first created. Does he use weapons? Where does he carry them? How do those pouches on his thighs stay up? Are those pirate boots? All of those issues have been addressed and resolved, as seen in the character profile image.
