The inspiration behind
"Carrier of the mask"
"Some people have asked me
what inspired me to create a hero without arms. Here is the answer: I practised taekwondo for many years. Taekwondo is a Korean martial art that focuses on kicking techniques. To become more flexible, I tried to use my legs and feet for everyday tasks like picking things up off the floor or closing doors. Suddenly I wondered what life would be like if I used my legs instead of my arms. This is how the main character 'Dion' was born."
