The first step in what will become a huge creative endeavor for me...the "Code Leo-ko" project. (Yes, I'm sticking with that horrible pun. XD; )

And that first step is...character sheets!

This way I'll be able to get their basic colors set down (and any of you who want to draw them have half-decent references now ).

Might as well start with my favorite CL character, Ulrich Stern!

...I really tried not to make him look like Kovu or Kitty-Sora from KH2, although his colors might dictate otherwise.

Speaking of which, originally he was going to be more green like in ~SamBlob's version of him, but I decided against that mostly because I figured I'd have visibility issues with him later (particularly since the forest will come into play)...that and making him green made Aelita and Odd seem...less unique in their coloring (a similar issue I encountered with Jeremie), so I gave him a more natural brown color.

...He still looks cute, right?

Anyway though, this is his real world look. His appearance in Lyoko is relatively the same. (I decided most of them will keep the same look in Lyoko...with a few possible tweaks like stripes or markings or something...but that'll be decided later. XD; )

Powers and weaponry-wise, at least in Lyoko, I'm planning on having his claws able to lengthen enough to puncture enemy monsters and, of course, he'll keep his speed and clone abilities.

Personality and backstory-wise, it's more or less the same as it is in the show (particularly the personality). He still strives to make his father proud of him and his feelings for Yumi...well, I'm not a Y/U fan for nothing.

Hope you guys like him!
