Before Junior, before Rex, before Jolynn, there was simply Joaquin or as I called him at the time, Jojo.
This cat started off as a self insert, but he looked so much unlike me that I just darkened his skin and made him look cool as hell with the jacket.
I kept trying to make people like him by giving him cool character traits like being an action hero, a super cool wrestler, and paired him with Super-Nova to show that he can pull the hottest ladies.
Then I made him buff because people kept on telling me he looked too much like a bishounen f-boy and, at the time, I actually listened to them [what was I thinking?] which resulted in the buff Jojo you see. here.
Next post about him will be detailing his rise and my thought process when shifting his design and personality and why I kept that aspect about him as well as what it meant to me.
