Character TMI - Raymond

🔎 Character TMI #1 — Raymond

Starting today, I’ll be posting one piece of character TMI a day!
First up is Raymond — our blond, green-eyed, famously beardless man (!).

📌 Basic Info

Name: Raymond
Traits: Blond hair, green eyes, one of the very few characters without facial hair

🧊 Character Intro

Raymond is a calm, emotionally reserved man with little desire — whether for life or for his desire.
Can you be the one to reignite both his passion for living and his libido?

📝 Dev Notes

• Raymond was the very first character I ever designed, at least visually!
  Back when I initially toyed with making a Ren'Py game, he was also the first sprite I drew. I ended up shelving that project (too much to learn all at once), but Raymond has stuck with me since.

• As AI generation evolved, my model unintentionally became "the bearded guy generator" 😅 — making clean-shaven characters like Raymond increasingly rare.
  Over time, I even grew fond of bearded characters, but Raymond managed to stay uniquely beardless.

• Oddly enough, despite being the first visual I nailed down, Raymond’s story was one of the last I fleshed out.
  While other characters had clear concepts from day one, Raymond started out as simply “hot blond muscle guy.”
  Eventually, I layered in his cold personality and bleak backstory, and things started to click.

• Since everyone’s practically not wearing any clothes in the dungeon, it might be strange to imagine, but Raymond actually wears a simple suit when he’s working as a bodyguard outside.
  Because of his chest size, he often leaves a few buttons undone (otherwise they’d sometimes pop off mid-job!). He also rolls up his sleeves to stay ready for action.
  Though admired by people of all genders, he remains totally oblivious and constantly dodging unwanted attention.
  In early builds, he had dark circles under his eyes — but they made him look too old, so I dropped that detail.

• Fun fact: Raymond was originally a lawyer in the very early stages of development.
  You can still find remnants of that concept in old code — some of his early skills had names like “Objection!” 😂
  Eventually, I felt his body was too sexy for a lawyer, so I switched him to a more physical job and rewrote his backstory.
  Honestly, I like the new direction much better.

• In the next update, Raymond (and others) will get sprite variations!
  When a character’s LUST reaches a certain point, their sprite will change to show them in a more aroused state.
  Also, after progressing a character’s romance route, you’ll be able to unlock their “past outfit” (just a cosmetic skin, no stat boost).
  I do plan to add corrupted versions too, but… let’s just say that’ll take me some serious time and effort. For now, I’ll start with a few romance paths.
  I’ll also be posting some sample GIFs of the new sprite variations!
