The new Leo is coming.

Hello everybody, DACM here... 

The holidays are over. And i don´t just mean the winter holidays, im talking about the relaxed way in which i was treating the webcomic and the ideas for Leo. 

I honestly got bored of the depressed Leo with a miserable beggining and dragging around and tragic past, blah, blah, blah... I only kept trying to find a new beggining to keep justifying the name of the webcomic itself: Kaiser kaputt. 

In true honesty, when i changed the name from whatever the hell it was i had it named before "reviving" it in 2015 i kinda just have started to use the word "kaputt" in my every day speech and i found, and still find it, funny. Makes me laugh just because of the silly sound it is for such a wide and horrible meaning it holds. Kaput: it's broken, it no longer works, it's worn out, it's defective, it's exhausted, it's no longer able to perform his activities... etc... So, the idea of creating a webcomic called Kaiserkaputt to me was comical, but more and more people kept asking me what exactly did i mean by that and i began to realise the idea was wrong or badly executed. 

What for me it´s funny because it´s new and bubbly, for most of the people who actuallyunderstand and use the word it does mean something negative with negative associations. And the problem i have every time trying to explain the title, because immediately gives a wrong fatidic idea. 

Truth is, Leo´s story is not really focused on how depressed he is. The whole idea i always have about it was to focus on the "solar" aspects of a dark and messy person who does thing´s because he finds them funny. Leo is a free person who takes great pride on the way he abuses his freedom.

Leo claimed for himself the right to choose  When, Where and How to die, nobody else can decide for him, but he can be convinced to choose. 

Leo is happy and owns a Lighter he calls "lamp" that can transport him and whoever he wants to other realities dominated by other spectrums of light. He can also travel to the different hues of each spectrum and is capable of changing also locations. 

Leo has friends. Titania, the Queen of the faries who decided to incarnate as a gay male. Leo and Titania have a long story together and share numerous adventures, though titania is different to Leo. HE likes material pleassures and richness. He seeks external validation and can not stand not being the center of everyone´s atenttion. Titania has also a lighter, though more expensive looking than Leo´s) that can transport him to the spectrum of the faeries and back to the human spectrum only. 

Leo is also friends with Jelly Pop. A beautiful woman who can see anything no matter how hard someone tries to hide it. She is wise and misterious and not yet entirely revealed to Leo, but is loving and comforting to Leo every time he requires her help. 

Leo can see the time keeper and the reaper assigned to him. Thanks to his lamp he can bring them to his own spectrum from the memory shop where they usually chill. 

There are also manifestations of Leo´s internal demons, his anger and the weed he constantly smokes. 

The last ones have already appeared in one way or another in the webcomic, though they have all undergone several redesigns, and i have to say, i have found a good balance between my original characters that are gonna accompany Leo in his really rebooted series of adventures about a gay man who has the power to travel to other realities and even visit the laberynth where the passed ones go when deciding to go to the eternal land of the death or return for another round to the realm of the living.

So, the story is about a free man who can not be killed by conventional ways and has the power to travel to other realities in a metaphysical way with his equally special friends... More or less. 

Leo also has a sword, so is not a sci-fi story aboput paralel dimensions, it's more... Poetic. Yes. 

But, in reality it has nothing to do with a grim "kaiserkaputt" title. Even the name i always wanted for it, "Duat Emperor", seems a little too grim too. 

Supreme Emperor, perhaps? I know, the easiest way would be just call it Kaiser Leo, but there's already someone on facebook with that name, and  in reality is not like it is a groundbreaking name  to beggin with. 

So, for now, the story still has no real name, which it actually for me sucks cause i tend to rely on the title of the stpories i write to set the tone of the story. I guess  in this case im gonna continue setting my characters and tone and the name will eventually come. 

For now it remains a kaiserkaputt, for now, not for long.
