Meet Buki!

Who is Buki?

Buki is my sona! A little guy who packs quite a punch! Many iterations exist of him, but currently I'm portraying him in the setting of AOTU World! Buki is a problem causer by nature, and enjoys picking on others and causing trouble for the hell of it. He loves pastel colours and punk aesthetics. Despite being partially visually impaired, he is skilled in combat due to his amazing hearing and the ability to hear people's very souls.

Where did the character Buki come from?

Good question! ...and a bit of long story ^^;

To explain Buki, I'd like to explain all the steps I took to get here as Buki, as all other versions hold a special place in my heart!

Kazuko... V1

Yikes am I right? Kazuko was a character I came up with when I was 14 as a soul eater oc! He was a student attending the DWMA with a very cringy backstory, yadda yadda... He started as a weapon human hybrid as a meister, then changed to a hybrid who was a weapon. He hated lord death (for no reason at the time) and was the stereotypical edgy soul eater oc who is a kishen and super strong etc etc XD

Kazuko V2

V2 Kazuko was the revamp of his character and design I did during my second watch of soul eater! Made when I was 17 years old, this new Kazuko was a weapon only, and an edgy student ok DWMA who tried to flunk all of his classes and skip when he could. At first, Kazuko was designed to be bordering on a kishen egg soul, having consumed the soul of his twin brother (I don't even remember why...) but eventually with more tweaks over the years, I've landed on his current story.
Kazuko is one of three triplets, formerly living in a secluded village where the people there held a religious belief that weapons should consume the souls of their relatives to commemorate them (unintentionally becoming kishen egg souls). Kazuko's family held the ability to hear the songs of peoples souls, often allowing them to understand what kind of person they are, but this ability was mostly used in ceremonial practices. One day, weapons and meisters were sent to their village to collect the village people's souls. Kazuko and his brothers escaped unscathed, but were unsure about the fate of their father. Kazuko travelled to America to hunt down Lord death for revenge, but Lord Death took pity on him, and allowed him to assimilate into the school as a student under the watchful eye of Death the Kid. soon, his brothers joined him and also attended the DWMA.
This story was meant to take place 5 or so years after the events of the story of soul eater, and Kazuko is my cringy OC x Cannon character with Death the Kid


Now you're probably wondering... what does Kazuko have to do with Buki?

Also good question! you see, me and my partner loved to call him stupid names. Starting from Kazuko, to Kabuko, to Kabuki to just Buki! and after that, and decided to create my own fursona, I figured why not use Kazuko as a base and name him Buki?

Buki V1

The current non AU version of Buki! Just a little guy! He has the same base personality as Kazuko, but this time he's just a wild tanuki who likes to dig through the trash and invade peoples houses. Kazuko likes to hang out in the house of a certain black cat

Buki V2

Here we are! The current AU version of this little guy! An Angel in the AOTU World! He likes to tease others and get into fights. His meta ability not only allows him to shape-shift like tanuki's in folklore, but a secondary ability that allows him to "hear" other people's meta abilities, which allows him to make a rough guess on what someone's abilities are, allowing for him to strategize against them.
