ON BIRTHDAYS:
===========
I actually took a great deal of time and care into choosing the birthdays of the Red Soul characters. I dig astrology, so I was picking which sign corresponded best to each character, and how they interacted with others. With the earth, water, air, and fire souls, their birthdays fall on the solstices of each of the seasons.
This left Yuri (red) with an air sign (June 20, Gemini), and Nick (violet) with a fire sign (December 21, Sagittarius). In the Red Soul comic, Yuri and Nick develop a deep friendship almost immediately. This is so because it turns out they are kindred spirits, seeing as their elements switched from astrologically determined to one defined by their soul power. ((Did that make sense??))
The funny thing is, the story and characters I had got filed into their zodiac almost perfectly each time. It's weird, even down to some color associations.
I'm going to go and finish some brainstorm pages.
