Not only can Krelian extend his lifetime by 6.66 times the (North
American) average life expectancy, he can also clone himself across
different dimensions. You can catch a glimpse only in this corner
of the W.E., so let's send in the clones!
EXHIBIT A:
Allen Shezar from Escaflowne: (the Movie) A Girl in Gaia
Anyone familiar with the popular anime series, Vision of Escaflowne
(aka Tenku no Escaflowne), will know that this pretty, playboy
of a knight known as Allen Schezar has undergone very drastic changes
in character design, along with the rest of the cast, for the movie.
Believe me when I say it's no contest between the series and the
movie version of him. His outfit in the series is sissy beyond belief.
With the poofy shoulders of his shirt and the pink sword scabbard,
it's a wonder why he still comes out to be such a successful womanizer.
However, his movie-version counterpart sports funky leather clothes
not unlike his old outfit, except that well... it's black and trench
coat-like =D
Not to spoil too much for readers out there, but the Allen in the
movie is much better than Allen in the television series. The main
reason would be that, he doesn't do too much talking in the movie,
and therefore cannot earn the wrath of many a viewer for his poor
judgement. Indeed, besides whipping Van in a swordfight, there isn't
much Allen does in the movie besides look pretty. He doesn't even
have that cool guymelef that he had in the series, Shaherazad.
Please don't use the screenshots without
notifying me.
...but he's still nice eye-candy if you can stand the character
styles. Personally, I think he's the spitting image of Krelian if
Krelian were ever animated in that funky Escaflowne style! Allen
even has a band around his head which makes him resemble Krelian
far more acutely than any other anime bishounen I can think of.
EXHIBIT B:
John Milton
If you didn't
already know, this is one of the greatest poets of English literature,
and the man who unwittingly wrote Satan's praise in Paradise
Lost, the epic of good vs evil and the expulsion of Adam and
Eve from the Garden of Eden.
(I swear, in highschool, every lit class for almost a month was
like devil worship ^_^')
If Krelian were to be a real flesh-and-blood human being, I think
he would probably look like this. Unfortunately most pictures of
Milton, besides this one, show him to be pretty darn ugly (granted
that most of them were paintings of him in his old age).
When I found this picture in a sonnet anthology, Aiva practically
had to pry my face away from the book. After she identified him
as Milton for me I thought it was even more befitting of Krelian,
probably because of the rigorous faith aspect.
I scanned the picture from this book.
