Known issues:

• Generating without "covered face" tag may or may not reveal skin, particularly around the neck.

• Some generators simply don't work when generating "sparagmos" or "gangway" tags. Whether or not the tags work will boil down to the checkpoint used. If you get them to work on all checkpoints, you're smarter than I.

Super epic features:

• Contains exactly one (1) sovereign of dawn.

• Separate tags for each clothing section (as listed above)

• Contains data for manga-accurate battle damaged and narehare variants.

"Bondrewd mentioned. Debate incoming."
-Man with too much free time

If any character in all of fiction can spark an ethical debate, it's Bondrewd. Seriously, I could rant about this guy for hours.

Bondrewd isn’t just evil - He’s a completely morally alien force shaped by the Abyss itself. While his actions are horrifying, they work, and they’re necessary for abyss raiders to survive deeper layers. The way he's written traps both the characters and the reader in a moral dilemma: by the time you're introduced to Bondrewd, you need his technology, and rejecting it isn’t an option. He doesn’t force the characters into anything- However, when the time comes, there is no choice. You accept his means, or you die going back up the abyss' central shaft. It's undeniable- Orth is a better place because of Bondrewd's advancements... But does that justify the means...? Especially in the abyss, where the "right choice" is a luxury rarely given...?

...Dearest me, I've gone on a tangent. Ahem.

Bondrewd! Sovereign of Dawn, the Novel, et cetera, et cetera. This model proved uniquely challenging, because there was only like... Two photos of gangway being used on the internet. Consequently, images do NOT like generating with it, even when specified. But that isn't really my fault? Either way, this might end up with a V2.

I took some extra time to specify all the ways he appears in the manga. He doesn't get much screen (page?) time outside books 4 and 5, so I figured I might as well do it all. I'm at least mostly pleased with the end result.

Until next time~ (っ ^ ω ^)っ
