My words...

       First let me say that I don't mean any disrespect towards Jose Rizal. I know some people might find my character a little bit offensive. Like how dare I desecrate his memory. All I have to say in my defense is "GET A GRIP". Relax people this is a tribute. The character really has no similarities with Jose Rizal, the man, other than the name. So chill and hopefully you enjoy comic characters, as I do. Hey what am I saying, if you're looking at this page, you have to be interested one way or the other. In any case let me end my intro here.

       As you can see the logo or insignia that was on the side in the front view drawing is actually tattooed on his back. This is the symbol of his mate everlasting. The warriors of the tribe are asked to select a special mark to tattoo on their back for all to see. It symbolizes to the people that this is who or what they will fight and die for.
       He is the tribe's champion warrior of which there can only be one. In essence he is the leader of the warriors of his tribe.
       There are five tribes total each with their own champion warrior. Rizal Bayani belongs to the Aklan tribe and along with the other four warriors they form a powerful alliance.
