[Creative Writing's Structure : Positional] OLDCODEX


Hallo!
I really loves these guys, especially Tatsu! At first, I knew the band from an anime called The basketball which Kuroko plays aka Kuroko no Basket. As you can guess, the genre is sport. And their song, Catalrythm, being the ending song of the anime. The first thing I thought after hearing their song is, "What the heck? The singer's voice is kinda menye (I don't know how to traslate it to English, kind of disgusting maybe?), 'cause you know, This people, Tatsu has never been singing a rock song before (Even he's singing some pop song, his voice is still sounded awful), and suddenly BOOM! He's singing this song. Some times later an anime called Free! (sport too) aired. And again, their song being the opening song of the anime. I heard the song once, twice, thrice, I still got annoyed (but I still loves Tatsu being a voice actor!). Until one day, my friend (she's take a liking to the song) and I, we heard the song together while finishing our tasks. And I started to loves all of their song until now. Yeah, maybe a javanese's old saying, witing tresno jalaran soko kulino ((if I'm not mistaken) love is born from our daily routines with someone / something) is true afterall.

Let me introduce the members!

OLDCODEX is a Japanese rock band from Tokyo, Japan, formed in 2009. They performed the opening themes for the anime series Free! and God Eater and the ending themes for Kuroko's Basketball and Togainu no Chi. They performed at Nippon Budokan on February 11, 2015 [Wikipedia].

Years active : 2009 - present
Labels         : GloryHeaven (2009 - 2012)
                   Lantis (2012 - present)

Left : YORKE | Right : Tatsuhisa Suzuki

Mainly there's only 2 persons in the band, Tatsuhisa Suzuki and YORKE, the other members (like drumer, guitarist and basist) are just for formality, they may get changed everytime.

YORKE is the one who wrotes all of the lyrics, adding some (kind of) rap part and do the painting when they're performing on stage, PV's & the cover album design. While Tatsu do the singing part.

Here's my best 3 (right now)!

 Aching Horns CD + DVD single's covers. 
There's 2 kind of singles contains different bonuses (3, with the anime ver.)


Aching Horns PV

Mono Frontier PV  
(The only one I likes from one of his "menye voice compilation")

Lantana PV

And here's their latest tour, "Capture" in Budoukan
(Actually the latest one is Veni Vidi, but there's no video yet. This one is being held on Taipei)

Capture in Budoukan

The other video has been deleted from the account :(

Here's the one I found from Contrast Silver Tour in 2013


Now I'll tell you why I love them so much!
The reason why I kept listening to all of their songs is because the melody is kind of going up and down. Sometimes, they're singing the song with a very slow tempo on the intro and very fast on the reff, vice versa. It feels like they makes you feel pain and anger at the same time, up and down; before, now and then. But at the end you can feel some reliefs. Second, mainly they're using monochrome palette (Black & White) for the PVs (except for Lantana, Feed A, Walk, Seek your turn and Eyes in chase (if I'm not mistaken, again)) and dark or abandoned place to get the feels better. For the other 5 song, they used some color to created some different atmosphere (like, Walk makes us feel grateful / Cheerful / enjoy our lives, Lantana makes us feel very melancholist (baper), Feed A feels like a craziness / madness about something / someone (mostly used color : Yellow), and Eyes in chase & Seek your turn (mostly used color : Blue) maybe makes us feel so blue (?), lol (I don't know how I feels about the song though, there's too much screams everywhere).

Flash news: Tatsu is one of the most famous seiyuu (voice actor / dubber) in Japan. His voice is commonly used in some big & popular anime such as:

There're 3 category:

My Story PLOT

Sebuah distrik bernama eftychía sedang dilanda kekacauan. Para penduduk tidak mengetahui apa yang sebenarnya terjadi dengan distrik tempat tinggal merekal, yang mereka ketahui hanyalah bahwa hal yang paling berharga dari mereka telah diambil dan masing - masing dari mereka diharuskan mengikuti sebuah quest yang tiba - tiba saja muncul ditengah kekacauan tersebut untuk menemukan hal yang mereka cari. Seorang gadis dengan rambut berwarna brown ash panjang nya yang diikat rapi, Sharon (18) yang tengah kehilangan kekasihnya, Zephyr (19), mencoba mengikuti quest tersebut dengan tekad kuat bersama dengan adik kembar kekasihnya, Timothy (18), untuk mencari tahu dimanakah keberadaan Zephyr sebenarnya dan mencari tahu apa yang sebenarnya terjadi dengan tempat tinggal yang mereka cintai

Selama diperjalanan mereka selalu berhasil mengalahkan setiap tim lain yang menghadang mereka. Kemudian suatu hari mereka selalu harus berhadapan dengan seorang lelaki jangkung bertopeng dengan rambut pirang dan kulit yang seputih salju. Lelaki ini sangat kuat hingga membuat Sharon dan tim kewalahan setiap menghadapinya.  Datang hari dimana akhirnya Sharon menemukan celah ketika ia berhadapan satu lawan satu dengan lelaki tersebut. Ia berusaha mengenainya, tetapi secara tidak sengaja malah mengenai topengnya, yang membuat topeng pria itu terpecah belah. Setelah pria tersebut mengangkat wajahnya, diketahui bahwa pria tersebut adalah kekasihnya sendiri, Zephyr. Sharon sangat terkejut mengetahui bahwa yang selama ini lelaki yang ia lawan adalah kekasihnya sendiri. Ia berusaha memanggil nama Zephyr, tetapi seakan suaranya tidak sampai kepada kekasihnya. Tentu saja. Karena Zephyr telah berada dibawah kekuatan mantra, ia tidak mungkin menyadari bahwa kekasihnya tengah memanggilnya. Namun Sharon tidak menyerah, ia terus berusaha meraih Zephyr. Ternyata usahanya tidak sia - sia. Sedikit demi sedikit Zephyr mulai tersadar. 

Ketika Zephyr mulai tersadar, tiba - tiba seorang wanita muncul dibaliknya. Dia adalah Rachel, penyihir hitam yang kuat dan berkuasa yang selama ini menyebabkan kekacauan di distrik tersebut. Disana ia berusaha mengambil alih kembali atas Zephyr. Sehingga Sharon harus kembali berhadapan dengan kekasihnya. Sharon yang telah mengetahui fakta bahwa ia tengah melawan Zephyr, membuatnya tidak sanggup untuk melawan Zephyr dengan serius hingga menyebabkannya berhasil di pojokkan oleh Zephyr. Saat Zephyr akan menghunuskan pedangnya ke Sharon tiba - tiba ia terhenti. Rachel yang sangat murka berusaha untuk memaksa Zephyr segera melakukannya karena ia akan merasa sangat senang jika kekasihnya sendiri yang membunuh Sharon. Namun yang dilakukan Zephyr malah sebaliknya, ia menghunuskan pedangnya ke dirinya sendiri. Ternyata kesadaran Zephyr telah kembali sepenuhnya. Sharon dan Rachel terkejut. Seketika Sharon menopang tubuh Zephyr yang terbaring lemah berlumuran dengan dara, Tim dan Rachel segera berlari ke arahnya. Segera Sharon dan Tim tak kuasa menahan air mata mereka. Rachel mengucapkan berbagai macam mantra penyembuh namun tidak ada satupun yang berhasil menyembuhkan luka yang diderita Zephyr, hingga ia teringat sebuah mantra yang sebenarnya sangat tidak ingin ia gunakan karena mantra ini sangat membutuhkan bantuan Sharon, rivalnya. Tetapi karena Rachel juga tidak ingin bahwa Zephyr mati akhirnya ia memutuskan untuk mau tidak mau harus melakukannya. Segera ia meminta bantuan Sharon untuk membuat lingkaran sihir dan meletakkan tubuh Zephyr ditengahnya. Lalu meneteskan darahnya sendiri ke dahi Zephyr. Sambil mengucapkan sebuah mantra, cahaya yang sangat menyilaukan keluar dari lingkaran sihir tersebut. Mereka bertiga menutup rapat kedua mata mereka hingga tiba - tiba sesosok bayangan muncul dari cahaya tersebut. Zephyr keluar dari lingkaran tersebut dan Sharon langsung berlari memeluknya.

Judulnya komiknya sangat alay sehingga saya memutuskan untuk tidak menuliskan atau memberi tahu siapapun... Maklum, cerita ini dibuat ketika saya masih SMP, jadi terlihat sangat alay, labil dan klise. Tapi saya sangat mencintai karakter - karakter yang ada di cerita saya yang satu ini (karena juga komik ini adalah satu - satunya komik yang saya bikin dengan sangat niat, terbukti sudah berapa buku yang saya habiskan untuk membuatnya dari akhir SMP kelas 3 hingga awal kelas 3 SMA, tetapi saya tidak akan pernah memasukkan contoh komik saya ini) dibanding dengan cerita komik lain yang pernah saya buat sebelumnya. 

- Sekian dan terima kasih telah menghabiskan waktu untuk membaca cerita saya yang mengerikan! -

[Old] Character Archetype (using my OCs)

All of this characters below are my old OCs from one of my old comic. The story is kind of drama sci-fi with a little bit action seasoning. I loved making some comics since elementary school, but now I have stopped making one because that's the only productive times to makes my wildest ideas (almost doesn't makes any sense), lol.

Relationships Chart



1. Protagonist  

In those forms the definition may simply be the leading actor, or the principle character in the story. But in addition the word takes on more formalized definitions. For example, the protagonist, while still defined as a leading character, may be also defined as the character whose fate is most closely followed by the reader or audience, and who is opposed by a character known as the "antagonist". The antagonist will provide obstacles and complications for the protagonist; the antagonist will create conflict, which will test the protagonist — thus revealing the strengths and weaknesses of their character.
The protagonist should be at the center of the story, should be making the difficult choices and key decisions, should be experiencing the consequences of those decisions. The protagonist should be propelling the story forward. There are variations in the use of the protagonist. For example, if a story contains a subplot, or is a narrative that is actually made up of several stories, then there may be a character who is interpreted as the protagonist of each subplot or individual story. [Wikipedia]



    Name          : Sharon Cole
      Somebody that is amazingly beautiful, funny, kind, and outstanding.
      Age             : 18 years old

A cloning who sent to her future son without knowing her true self nor the true memories (that she's Zephyr's wife or Tim is her future son), the only memories she remembered is that she had a little brother and doesn't knows his whereabouts. In the past her parents doesn't approved her weddings with Zephyr, until Tim're born, her parents separated them.
      
2. Deutragonist

Dutragonist is the second most important character, after the protagonist and before the tritagonist. The deuteragonist may switch from being with or against the protagonist depending on the deuteragonist's own conflict/plot. [Wikipedia]


      Name          : Zephyr Zelch
      A light breeze, the west wind

A cloning who sent to his future son without knowing his true self nor the true memories (that he's Sharon's husband or Tim is his future son), the only memories he remembered is that Timothy is his little brother and their


3. Tritagonist

Tritagonist is the third most important character of a narrative, after the protagonist and deuteragonist. In Ancient Greek drama, the tritagonist was the third member of the acting troupe.
As a character, a tritagonist may act as the instigator or cause of the sufferings of the protagonist. Despite being the least sympathetic character of the drama, he or she occasions the situations by which pity and sympathy for the protagonist are excited. [Wikipedia]

      Job             : Knuckle Master
      Weapon      : Knuckle Knife

He's Sharon's and Zephyr's son. He's the only one who knows half of the truth (that their mother left them). Really loves Sharon so much (maybe kinda like love to his mother, but he didn't relize it).


4. Antagonist 

An antagonist is a group of characters, institution, or concept that stands in or represents opposition against which the protagonist(s) must contend. In other words, an antagonist is a person or a group of people who opposes a protagonist. [Wikipedia]

She's the mastermind behind all of the incidents that befall Tim's family. She ruin them because she has been in love with Zephyr since highschool but got rejected, but she can't gave up on him. 

Note to myself: I can't draw male anatomy perfectly, I know it. My drawing kinda looks asymetry, right. Fighting pose is kind of HARD, yes.

Ps. I choose their name randomly back then (not exactly though), so I don't know that their name is actually match their characteristics so much (except for Zephyr & Tim Family name, to be honest I looking for Deutsch family name back then, so don't get the wrong idea or even try to translating to English!)
