Zee. Auditor. Sol.
Zee is Kyo’s best friend–or well, as much of a best friend as you can have in the world they live in. Friendships aren’t encouraged, so it’s more akin to who you get along with the best, and who you don’t.
Zee has been the same character since conception, but his arc has shifted significantly. Originally just a sidekick, he is now a viewpoint character with his own storyline and ambitions to seek out.
Since he’s Kyo’s best friend, he acts as a foil to Kyo’s arc. Whereas Kyo has a positive reaction to the forces he encounters, Zee has a negative one–and pays the price for that.
I wanted him to be the best in terms of their jobs, so he is constantly seeking to one-up others in the world. He usually succeeds, but when he doesn’t…well, you can read the story to find out 🙂
