Preface:
Hey everyone! This is my first Fanfic and I might be a bit inexperienced, but I hope to improve along the way. If you can, it would be great if you could review and possibly give me any feedback you can, it would really help, thank you!
As for this story, it is an Inazuma Eleven Fanfic taking place as Raimon (GO) wins Holy Road. However, the main cast will be a team of OC's I've created after years of doodling stick figures that would become actual drawings. This "chapter" is here to introduce you to some of these characters with some drawings I've made in order to give a kind of image I had in mind while writing.
Setting and Story Style
First off, this is an Inazuma Eleven GO Fanfic taking place in a school known as Hikari Jr. High (Hikari meaning light) and is basically the story of another school's soccer club slowly getting on its feet watching Raimon's defeat of Fifth Sector. It takes place from right before the match with Seidouzan and Dragonlink to before Tenma to where Chrono Stone begins.
As for the style, I'm trying a double narrative, where the two main characters take turns narrating between chapters, so there might be some overlap in the beginning of some chapters with some of the different POV's. I'm on the fence about possibly putting the POV's of other characters, so I'll leave that to you guys whether or not you want the story to be told from their eyes. So, without further ado, let me introduce you to the team!
The Characters:
Time to introduce all the characters. Keeping with how Inazuma Eleven usually does things, I'm putting the names in last name then first name order and many of the names have to do with the character (Ex: Endou Mamoru-mamoru meaning protect since he's the goalie).
*Note-The translations for the names came from Google Translate so if they're incorrect, sorry.
**Note-All the pictures are in black and white but I'll try to explain the colors more during the chapter and I'll probably add pictures with color in the future.

First, the two narrators:
Hyōshōdai Taiso-MF and Captain of the Team
A 2nd year who is a perfectionist. He can be very type A and his personality comes from the pressure he feels from his family. Many people from his family, including his parents, have been Olympic Gold medalists or professional sports players who have also exceled academically as well, so the expectations are really high. He works hard at all that he does and takes charge of the soccer club as soon as he can. He is motivated to lift this team up as he watches Raimon fix Fifth Sector's corrupt ways. He is also a gymnast on the side, which he plans to perfect to join the Olympic team in the future. He also incorporates his gymnast skills into his hissatsu wazas. He is jealous of his older sister, Archeri, who seems to always be just ahead of him in almost every aspect from academics to sports. He is neighbors and best friends with the other narrator, "Tai" who is a complete opposite of him.
Name: Hysohodai means Podium because of his dreams to be an Olympic gold medalist and Taiso means gymnastics which is the other sport he trains at
Number: #9

Senzai Taidana "Tai"-DF
Taiso's best friend since they first met on the first day of elementary school where they argued who would get the nickname "Tai." Needless to say, he won. However, these two best friends, and neighbors, are complete polar opposites, where Taiso is hard working and aiming for perfection where Tai is lazy and just makes it by. Their friendship is strengthened by their shared jealousy of an older sibling who always outshines them. On the field, he doesn't try to defend unless he feels it's perfectly necessary. He serves to keep Taiso from getting overstressed while Taiso makes sure he actually does his work and doesn't fail all his classes. He actually is gifted at learning very quickly and can actually do well if he wasn't so lazy. In fact, when motivated, he can quickly analyze an opponent's formation and play style and formulate a strategy to counter it. However, that's just too much work for him. His personality is laid back and very sarcastic at times. While Taiso can be optimistic about the future, Tai sees himself as a "realist" as he puts it, and thinks more negatively, unlike the whole "if you believe in yourself, you can do it" mentality. Tai has a small crush on his best friend's sister, Archeri, but does his best to not show it because he feels it would be extremely weird if Taiso found out. Lastly, Tai will have a habit of breaking the fourth wall due to feeling bound by story logic and will sometimes make things a bit confusing.
Name:Senzai Tekina on Google Translate was the response for potential so I took the first half to show he has potential if he only wasn't so lazy, which brings us to his first name: Taiso-meaning lazy

Note**-The bonus picture was a quick rough draft and it shows how I came up with their designs-I drew stick figures with hair which eventually became the cast.
Now the rest of the cast
Morimaru Shizen-GK/FW
A 2nd year who as described by Tai as a "pretty cool guy, 'nuff said." He is usually calm and collected unless someone…litters. He is very protective of the environment and all his hissatsu reflect either wild animals or the power of nature as a whole. He practices yoga and helps calm down other members of the team by getting them involved. He plays goalkeeper since he is the only one who has any skill at it and because everyone else refuses to do it. However, if someone takes his place, he is an amazing striker who tears up the field which makes people doubt his "one with nature" personality.
Name: Mori-means wood and Maru is a common ending for boys names and Shizen means nature
Number: #1

Hyōshōdai Archeri-FW
Taiso's older sister and the only girl in the starting eleven. A previous SEED from the now fallen Fifth Sector, she makes a 180 personality change in the first few chapters from a dark woman watching over the team to an always happy older sister who supports the team by scoring their goals as the team's ace striker. She's a tomboy on the field, playing even rougher than some of the others but when on off the pitch she acts just like most girls her age. At only a year above Taiso, she's a 3rd year. As a Hyōshōdai, she also deals with the expectance of perfection from her family and delivers with more ease than her younger brother. Like Taiso, she also does another sport, her choice being archery and her hissatsu show her expert marksmanship. As the only girl, she ignores the guys who try to ask her out and proves she can outplay the best of them.
Name: As Taiso's older sister, she shares the name Hyōshōdai, meaning podium, and her first represents her other sport, archery. Archery=Archeri
Number: #10

Safu Shio-DF
1st year Shio is the short guy (Shinsuke, Kogure, Shorin) of the team. He loves fishing with his father and hopes to take over the business someday. His personality is very bright and perky to the point where it can sometimes be annoying to some. His hissatsu are all based off the sea like the tides and undersea currents. He is one of the main people who join Shizen with his yoga sessions and has a small rivalry with the big guy of the team, Tetsu. With his hissatsu based off the sea and Tetsu's being based off the mountains, their techniques mirror their sizes. However, they work together well and make the solid defense of the team.
Name: Safu means surfing, although he isn't a surfer and Shio means tide, based off several of his hissatsu
Number: #3

Kagemaru Chryde-DF/MF
First glance at Chryde gives the impression that he is either a dark unfeeling guy or a depressing emo who dampens the mood on things. In fact, unless you get to really know him, he'll give that exact impression. In reality, behind his dark disposition and low voice, he can be rather friendly. His hissatsu however, don't really help his case of removing the idea of him being a dark soul, since all of them involve either sneaking in the shadows to get past his opponents. He is also a 2nd year.
Name: Kage means shadow and like Shizen Maru is a common ending in boys' names. Lastly, Chryde came from Pac-Man, where Clyde was the only ghost who didn't rhyme with Blinky, Pinky, and Inky. Therefore, a different version of Clyde came in Chryde to show he's a bit different from the others.
Number: #2

Tensai Arashi-MF
Mimikku Yasashi-MF
Cousins Arashi and Yasashi are 2nd year and 1st year respectively. Arashi, as the older of the two, does more of the talking for them while Yasashi usually stays back. Although Arashi likes his younger cousin, he gets annoyed at his constant following of him. Yasashi's people skills aren't that good, but if someone can get him talking, they'll see he's very friendly, but latches on easily. He'll slowly start mimicking someone else's personality all the way to the slightest nuance. As for hissatsu, Arashi uses moves relating to disasters, with a focus on storms, while Yasashi doesn't have any of his own. Instead, he mimics the hissatsu of others and joins in to create a powered up version of the original move.
Names: Tensai means disaster while Arashi means storm symbolizing his hissatsu. As for Yasashi, his first name means friendly, while his last name Mimikku means to mimic.
Number: #6 and #12 respectively

Yosai Tetsu-DF
Tetsu is one of those "do you even lift, bro" like people. He plans to become an MMA fighter in his older years but now is just working on working out. Before joining the team, all he did was lift weights. In his second year, he joined the soccer club in order to work on his leg muscles. He ended up enjoying it and continued for his last year. As the tallest member of the team, he managed a rivalry with Shio. However, they make a great combination. Tetsu's hissatsu all have to do with land formations like mountains and canyons.
Name: Tetsu means iron and Yosai means fortress, so when you read his name first then last, you get iron fortress.
Number: #4

Chisoku Hayai-MF
Hayai has 2 speeds, normal and really fast. Unfortunately, that pertains to more than just sports. He's either perfectly normal or extremely impatient and is annoying you wondering "is it time" or "are we there yet?" When on the field, he's itching to begin and has a bad habit of jumping the gun before the referee even blows the whistle. His "got to go faster" look on life influences his plays and his hissatsu, that all have to do with going faster than the next guy. Besides his impatience, this 1st year gets along well with the team and does his best to contribute.
Name: Chisoku is one of the ways you can say speed, and Hayai means fast. Both have to do with this guy's need for speed.
Number: #7

Hanraku Kagaku-FW
Lastly, we have the other forward, Kagaku, self-proclaimed ace and prodigy genius. While he's very flashy with his moves and quick to brag about his skills, both academically and game wise, he does have the track record to prove it. While only a 2nd year, he takes classes all reserved for 3rd years and he is quick to analyze an opposing team's abilities and counteract against them. In all subjects, chemistry is where he truly shines and eventually becomes the source of his inspiration for all his hissatsu. He has a rivalry with Archeri, since he chooses to refuse to let the ace's seat be taken by a girl, but in reality, he knows he doesn't stand a chance. He stands as the "brains" of the team on most occasions, unless someone else needs to step in.
Name: Kagaku means chemistry or chemical while Hanraku means reaction, which relates to his knowledge of chemistry and its effect on his hissatsu.
Number: #11
