If you could bring any of your characters to life, whom would it be?

It would probably be Eithne (http://sta.sh/01jjwcnivtk7) and Saoirse (http://sta.sh/01ich07qtdy7). Despite my then-identity-crisis (as shown by the 'xionri' name thing), Eithne came to me in a dream, and Saoirse is my cute little shota boy that has a thing for astronomy. ?
What inspired you to make the character(s) you have today?
What influenced their design?
Mm.. goodness, there's so many. Assuming you're talking about FH characters, or at least to go with that for a sense of direction, I think for Artemis I was originally trying to create a big tsundere dragon. And then since I couldn't do it more like because I was lazy, I just settled for a dragoncat, and I played around with a sort of tribal theme. He was actually a test for my Legendary items pack when I first downloaded it, to tell the truth.
Argh, I'm so bad at asking unique questions, but how did you come up with your username? ^^

That's actually a really good question, haha. Y'see, I'm really picky when it comes to what I go by, and I wanted a username that was at least a little unique, but still made sense and fit me to a T. I used to go by Twilightmyst and Neosthesia on Deviantart, but 'Kuro' was my all-around name/nickname since it was the nickname my Japanese friend gave me in elementary school. Unfortunately.. Kuro is really, really cliche and overused, especially in the weeb community. So while I may still answer to Kuro, I needed something I could actually identify and grow with.
I absolutely love 'Yu-' Japanese names, and I thought back to when I took Japanese all through high school, where my teacher would call me something like 'sleepwalker', idk. It kind of fit me, I guess, since my head's always in the clouds.
Anyway, I originally went with 'Yumekui', meaning 'dream eater', since my new 'theme' / aesthetic involves the moon and stars, dreams, nighttime, etc, also inspired by the dream eating Baku of Asian lore. It's also really common, I discovered. I tried to find something that made sense while still keeping the 'Yume', but I ended up just slapping a 'tsu' on at the end after some research since I figured it wouldn't matter as long as it wasn't translated wrongly or something, lmao. It looks okay with the kanji, I suppose, but I usually just write it in r?maji.
