So I saw that he was in the OC contest. Decided to review him since why the hell not? I'm in a good mood today so I'm building walls of texts to create Castletextia.

For now, I'll start with the pros.

As a general character, he may possibly fit planet RWBY. The way he copes with his parent's death is a good touch and I like that a bit better than the angsty teenage character.

As a person, he seems like a likely hero protagonist in the making. This is a double edge sword which can make or break your character. I also like his 24/7 smile. Creepy, but cool.

As a combatant, he's pretty damn unique and it's good to think outside the box once in a while. I'm curious how he can handle the more tougher Grim with stronger bone structure and/or armoring

Now for the cons.

As a general character, he feels similar to the hotblooded shonen character. A little refining to make him uniquely different will do.

As a person, as I said earlier, he's a hero protagonist in the making. However, if you pulled it off wrong, he'll fall in grace and become a generic protagonist. But, if you pull it off and manage to write him properly, he has the chance to be a great character.

As a combatant, I'd say he's pretty well-balanced. But his swordsmanship  and martial arts skills came outta nowhere. I think it'd work out if it was explained how he learned them. The martial arts one is already explained, but a little more detail like which style he uses may make him better.

Overall, he's well balanced and rather likeable. A few shades of a shonen protagonist here and there. He doesn't need any major changes, just expansions.

I'd give him a 4/5. Creating his own artwork is also a good thing.
