As I have mention before, I wanted to draw manga since I begin my story idea, but I wasn't so good at drawing and so I stuck with writing :)
I still wanted people to know what my characters look like, my brother and I went around to find an artist to hire so they could draw them. It took us a while, but I managed to find an amazing artist on Upwork (formerly known as Odesk) by the name of Anna Lee you can check out her profile here: https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~012ed95c545bb4e8f4?
She was an amazing artist and I was glad to have had the chance to work with her.

Over the course of creating my book and getting it well-known, my brother and I hired a group of people to read the book and check for grammar, even my brother and I look it over to make sure everything is alright. My brother, Sanad, favorite character in the book would be Vlam because he said Vlam is very cheerful, passionate and has a unique skill. Sanad favorite character is also Remus, and Pipa and Bart. Sarah, an exileverse team member, favorite characters are Saru, because he is unique among other main characters from different series, Yukimo because she is a cool girl and very patients with Saru, and Jimbo because she see him very sympathetic. For me, I don't really have a favorite because I see each  one of my creations unique in their own.

Next up is Hash from Brave Exiles. Hash is a unique character of my because his design and personality is roughly based on my good friend back at Bahrain who happen to have similar name. One day I told him I was creating a book and like me, he loves anime stuff and was happy for me. For that, I decided to create a character version of him in my book whose personality and appearance resembles a little. For his outfit, my friend told me he wanted a character to dress similar to Zoro in One Piece after the timeskip. Since I didn't want copyright problem, I found another samurai outfit online and came across these samurai pants and give me an idea which lead me to this. The moon and sun on his pants kinda resemble his character and the bandage around his arm is because the picture I took of him before I left for University happen to have him have one for unknown reason as I forgot to ask him. He also said he wanted to have a scar on his face, but I thought it was too much like Zoro.

My second character, Yukimo is my first female character I have ever created. It took me a while to figure out her hairstyle and colour, but after seeing Lucy from Fairy Tail with her hair down on a date, I enjoyed the style and make it roughly like that. The color I picked brown because every time I picture Yukimo, she would be brown hair. The rip up jeans is for her to easily move while running and the striped on her yellow shirt hoodie is for speed looks and the hoodie is for her being an assassin. I made her ditch her assassin cloak hoodie because it seem too much like Assassin Creed and I don't want to be a copycat and it was a one time things. I came up with the idea when me and my old friend in Bahrain were talking about my characters and he wanted to see an assassin female which I followed through and made her! Her personality is created by when I see Shonen main character female and I did nearly the opposite from that. I also wanted to create a female character whose good looking, strong, doesn't whine a lot, and kind sometime. Someone kids can grow up to, unlike the so called female role models in fiction today.
