Dear reader, thank you for joining me on this journey with Cloke. I hope you're enjoying the story so far! I wanted to take a moment to share with you the inspiration behind creating Cloke.
Cloke draws inspiration primarily from Spider-Man, particularly in balancing his ordinary life with his superhero responsibilities. However, that's where the similarities end. I also drew inspiration from two of my favorite manga characters, Itadori and Naruto. I love their youthful and sometimes rebellious nature, coupled with their ability to be serious and determined when the situation calls for it.
In terms of Cloke's appearance, I wanted to give him a punkish look, which is a style I personally admire and wish I could pull off myself. When developing his character and personality, I often listen to music for inspiration. Cloke was always envisioned as a punk character, and I wrote down his traits while listening to the song "Dammit" by Blink-182.
That's all for now! Please feel free to leave any questions or comments for the next author's note. Thank you for your support!
With love,
Kyle
PS: I will be publishing up to Chapter Ten before July 31 for a competition that requires it! Stay tuned!
