Definitely Junji Ito. His art style is amazing and macabre.

(cont.)

Being a voidsent, he has expertise in bending and manipulating shadows to his will, using it more as a scare tactic than actual damage. However he is also vicious with his claws and teeth, often-times using his shape-shifting scythe as well to slay his fellow 'kin'.

N'het: This catboy is a traditional rogue, armored to the teeth with 'stabbers'. While he prefers not fighting at all, he does more of a Systema Spetsnaz than anything, brute strength not one of his positives.

Meanwhile, Silvaire's fighting is usually equipping his powers as well as his magicks.

Silvaire does indeed wear earrings, which are part of the Wraith outfit as well as a tracker for the voidologist.
