Hehe, naturally you'd love Chrom. XD Should me and Crim change our avatars into Fire Emblem ones? XD
Tempest

Aeternus || Nexus

Lantern Festival

Affected Players: -

Tempest was not a girl who would allow her level to deter her from doing what excited her. How lucky was she to have arrived in Nexus during the Lantern Festival event? An intense offensive gamer, Caroline McNamara always enjoyed a good battle, and that was precisely what she was seeking, trapped or not. How was she going to get out of this reality anyway if she didn't become stronger? The night was clear, illuminated by the flying lanterns, and several booths caught her eye. Among others, there was a challenge for wolf-racing, another for wrestling, and lastly, a gladiator-style challenge, complete with a ring, which had her full attention. Now that challenge was bound to be a real battling experience for her. She approached the stall, taking out the money she had.

Now this is something I'm up for! She thought as she smirked, drawing her scythe out as she dropped 15 Gold onto the table, pushing the coins towards the mysterious man sitting behind the counter, who studied her appearance.

"You sure you wanna go through with this? I fear that…" He began to say, implying something that Tempest did not want to bother knowing. Gerry hopped down from the redhead's shoulder and croaked at the man, ruffling his feathers. The raven had his companion's pride, that was for sure.

"Now listen, there's the fucking money, right there in front of you. Don't want it? Think I'm some pussy healer? Just save your breath for the next idiot who comes and doesn't know what she's doing. Now, take the money." The scythe wielder growled. She wasn't going to allow herself to be talked down by this man, that was for sure. Besides, it was not as if the challenge was a solo endeavor anyway, if that was what the guy was worried about….not that Carly was incapable of handling herself. Quite the opposite actually, based on her own stubbornness, if not the strength she knew she had.

"Fine, just don't go running out if you're hurt. You'll have to wait until you're assigned to a team of four though. I'm not allowing you to go solo. Challenge rules." The man warned as he took her money, before motioning for her to enter the inner chamber of the arena. Gerry flew ahead, perching himself on Tempest's forearm as she reached the door and walked in. Tempest grinned, eagerly awaiting the battle.


HP: 100%
SP: 75
Level: 1
Inventory
Potion x4
Gold x5

This was approved by DRK through PM, hehe.

Real Life Name: Caroline McNamara (Carly)

Soul Story User Name: Tempest

Age: 22

Gender: Female

Weapon: Scythe

Weapon Name: Nightwing

Class: Nightshade - A fast, offensive class most similar to the traditional Assassin, with elements of a Druid, aligned with the elements of Darkness and Wind. Strong physical attacks are the majority of the skill set, and are mostly Darkness-based by nature, usually having the chance to hit more than once (if Wind is infused in the scythe). This class also boasts some offensive nature magic under the Wind element. Fragile defensively, without much SP, but very swift.

Level: 1 (We're all level 1, no exceptions)

Soul Attack: Nevermore - A series of successive physical scythe strikes at one foe imbued with both darkness and wind energy, executed at blinding speed.

Move Pool:

Magic
Dread Gale - A single, powerful dark-green gust strikes at the foe. Cost [15SP]
Shadow Cyclone - Swinging Nightwing in a certain way conjures up a dark-green tornado that traps the foe within it and damages it multiple times. Cost [45SP]

Melee
Reaper's Strike - Two quick successive darkness-imbued slashes with Nightwing, aiming for vital points. May induce "fear" status.
Blood Moon - Nighwing is swung in a slower but stronger crescent-shaped arc, heavily impaling the foe. This gets stronger the more successive hits it does.

Avatar Appearance: Carly is a tall beauty, standing at 186 cm or 6'1", and is pale-skinned with a slender, lean body. Her thick hair is long and dark crimson-red, falling in soft waves down to her hips. She usually leaves it down, but can also be seen wearing it in a single braid or a high ponytail when she wants to. Her eyes are a striking steel-gray, framed with long, red lashes. Under her eyes are noticeable dark circles which she tries to conceal with her makeup. Her teeth aren't very nice, being yellowish-white instead of clean white, due to her occassional smoking (after getting over her pyrophobia). She often wears dark eyeshadow and kohl, making her pale eye color stand out even more. She has three piercings in each earlobe, and one on her navel, giving her seven all in all. On her back is a large tattoo of a thorny heart and on her wrist is a tattoo of a black skull. Her long-legged body is slim, and lean, with ample, large breasts that are one of her most prominent features.

In-game, Carly wears a cropped black leather top with a single chain strap on one side and small silver spikes over a short, torn black fishnet top, both of them exposing her stomach. For bottoms, she wears black mini shorts, a number of black belts draped over them: two are chains, two are plain with small black spikes, and one has a skull buckle on its center. Her black leather combat boots are knee-high and steel-toed, with lacing all the way up its length and black buckled belts decorating them. She wears black leather fingerless gloves on her hands, a black choker on her neck, and a black wolf pelt cape is fastened over her right shoulder, where Gerry usually perches.



Personality: Carly, though seemingly hostile to some because of her looks and brashness, can also be warm and friendly to those she meets when given the chance, depending on who of course. While she could be caring and nice, she can also be quite the jerk especially towards those who annoy her, such as people who undermine her skill, criticize her for trivial reasons or get on her bad side. However, it doesn't mean that she's one who holds deep-seated grudges, and generally tries to see the good in people. Just as her brother looked after her, she is one who cares for her friends a lot, sticks by them no matter what and looks out for them the best she could, even to the point of compromising herself. She will go through great lengths to protect the ones she holds close, putting them before herself, much like a big sister, and something that rubbed off from Paddy and her father's partner. Also quite a flirt, she's one whose outgoing personality gives her no shame when it comes to approaching boys, especially younger ones due to her attraction towards the more trusting. She isn't one who can easily say when she's in love however, and often goes from denying to herself to getting quite defensive when suspected to like someone, especially if said someone actually lines up with her tastes. She has problems dealing with certain kinds of girls due to her own pride, and thus, has the tendency to lash out at them more often than not, usually in her own crude, sarcastic way. It takes her longer to make friends with such people. However, she also has a soft spot for outcasts, being the type who wouldn't hesitate to approach them and befriend them. Brave and confident, she usually doesn't hesitate or shy away from danger or challenges, though she isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed and can come off as reckless sometimes. She enjoys new experiences and showing off what she's capable of, and hates being perceived as weak or being relegated to support…which is extremely evident in the way she plays MMOs.

While Carly is by no means extremely stupid, she isn't particularly academically gifted compared to most, leading her to seem pretty dumb, and can lack patience for thinking twice sometimes, leading her to leap before she looks and getting her into a lot of trouble. She often means well, but her plans (or lack of them, rather) and what she does sometimes have the tendency to backfire. Carly is a heavy drinker, and when she's drunk, she either turns into a happy drunk or an angry, violent drunk. People have to watch out for the second one, as Carly gets really unbearable in said state. This usually means having to get physical to knock some sense into her.

Carly, while being less feminine than other girls, is also quite emotional. It isn't rare to see her have angry meltdowns when insulted or blaming herself when something goes wrong on her watch, and is violent when provoked. Though she has gotten over the ghosts of her past as well as most of the fears that plagued her, she still retains that slightly less controlled side of herself in the form of her tendency to have mood swings. Very few have seen this side of her, mostly because of the fact that she's rather proud and hates people feeling sorry for her. She likes taking care of others, but hates being "babied". Carly does not like to think of herself as a girly-girl, and dislikes the color pink, thinking that it isn't sexy. She's not one who thinks of manners and etiquette, dismissing them as old-school and boring, being rather crude and inappropriate at times.

Other: Carly has a raven companion that she uses as a scout, known to most as "Gerry". He only answers to Carly, as well as to anyone who manages to find out his real name (pretty easy, it's a male name that Gerry can be short for). Unlike most birds, he doesn't taste very good, so cooking him isn't an option.
There, gave him the wig treatment....considering that Andre is the one who'd openly wear different colors of wigs anyway. XD Looks more recognizable now? XD

Looks alone, of course. XD You must admit, the outfit flatters Selena very well...and she shows the most skin now, hehe. XD I made Dante's hair that way because I wanted to incorporate his messy hair with Lucina's length...essentially a hybrid of the two. XD The ones who got hybrid hairdos are Selena, Cisrian, Evie and Dante. Jayden got something close to Owain's haircut but in his hair color, Mira kept her hair length and Andre...of course he got the wig. XD
It's blond! Of course I couldn't exactly change his hair color, though I was very sorely tempted to put him in a "wig" situation. XD That's what happens if the clothes selection is limited, hehehe. XD Want him to get the wig treatment? I could still edit it, hehe. XD

Yeah, expectedly, Dante pulls it off very well compared to his...less fortunate cross-dressing instances. Maybe the combination of dark colors and less frills benefit him. My suspicions were right, hehe! XD Is he your winner in this round? XD Or would that be Selena? XD
Cordelia "Susanna Blue" Murphy
Fairbank


"Oh, Susanna...ever the problematic one. Makes me wonder why Wyatt and Alexander took you in, especially when you've got nothing on me or anyone else here. Runaway, troublemaker, now poking your nose in places that you shouldn't be in. Give me one good reason why I should't call my Alexander." Sophia hissed, after crying out in pain from the impact, her red-coated lips raised in a knowing smirk, even as she held her face. Though her nose was bleeding, she regained her composure quickly. Cordelia's face did not show signs of giving in however, much less begging for mercy, which pissed Sophia off. One minute, she was in control, and now she failed to faze the redhead. Cordelia raised her fist once more, but her next punch was interrupted by someone grabbing her and pushing her forward. She looked up and saw to her relief, that it was Colt. it was short-lived, however, as heavy footsteps lumbered forward, followed by the last voice she wanted to hear...save for Wyatt's and Alexander's.

“My Sophia! No!” Diego, the cook, yelled as Cordelia saw him lumbering towards Sophia, while Colt was helping hide her behind a wooden table. Despite the dire situation, Cordelia couldn't help but find the scene hilarious, and let out a short laugh. It was painfully obvious that Diego was into the Italian girl, though the latter did not return his feelings, having a rather unhealthy obsession with Alexander to begin with. Colt, however, interrupted her thoughts.

“I’m the Devil Spawn, Cordelia and I’m here to massacre an infestation of vampires,” he revealed calmly as he pressed a handgun sideways against her chest, “use this, it has special silver bullets, the only way to make these motherfuckers bleed.” Vampires? In America? I thought it was just a rumor! Cordelia thought, clearly remembering how oddly Wyatt and Alexander acted at times but failed to recognize the signs. The heavy drapes in their carriage, the obscene amount of perfume they wore, their odd eye color their perpetually tired looks. They all made sense now, even though she did not expect this. Cordelia nodded and placed her hand on the gun, feeling for the trigger. Never in her life had she used a gun, but her life depended on it, and she was willing to learn. Holding it with her right hand, she practiced placing her finger on the trigger. Her silk gloves made her grip too slippery, so she slid them off, as well as kicked off her high heels. Damn the rules, she was going to do things by her own choice now. Across the kitchen, the spectacle did not end, as Diego had Sophia in his grasp and from what Cordelia was guessing based on the strangled cries she heard, was now digging his fangs deep into her neck. Sophia protested weakly, calling out for Alexander. Too bad your vampire "prince" ain't here to save you now, Cordelia thought as she heard the commotion, now smirking to herself.

The doors of the kitchen swung open yet again, Wyatt and Alexander emerging from behind them. They were impeccably dressed in fine outfits as usual, Wyatt Starr with his wavy light blond hair slightly messily framing his face and Alexander Martin, whose black hair was tied in a ponytail. The latter took a look at Sophia on the ground, before attending to his long nails once more. “Is someone there?” He asked. “It’s Susanna Blue, Lord Alexander,” Diego quickly responded, “She’s back here with some…s-some man!” Alexander looked at the messy cook, evidently disgusted. Wyatt's words struck her, however. He wasn't loud, but Cordelia heard him. “He cooks the girls for us, Alexander and he’s dumb as a rock.” The words struck her, though she tried not to show it. Was she approached just to become someone's food? How could I be so stupid! Nobody just approaches a girl and promises anything without a catch! I'm such an eejit..., she chastised herself.

“Cordelia, take care of the female, she’ll turn any second now but will be too clumsy in her new form, the others are too dangerous,” Colt instructed, pointing at the body before getting on top of the table and rolling towards the edge to deal with Mario, Diego and the two full-blooded vampires who were her masters...no, once her masters. Cordelia looked at her gun once more, then stood up, catching Colt's look of confidence towards her, which she returned with a thumbs-up. They were going to get out, alright. Gunshots rang in the air as Colt started to attack his targets, Cordelia noticing the way he shot. Bounding over to Sophia's body, she found herself more comfortable and quicker for the first time in two years, now that she was out of the heels that tormented her. Holding the gun over the body, Cordelia started to pull the trigger, just as she had seen Colt do moments ago, but suddenly, Sophia sprang up, her now-red eyes wide open as she swung her arms in front of her, trying to catch Cordelia. The redhead stepped back in surprise, before holding the gun up once again and firing. The bullet lodged itself on Sophia's right shoulder, and the transformed vampire shrieked in pain. She was still clumsy, but Cordelia remembered the things her parents used to tell her about the vampires. They were still vampires, and she was still human. If she became too cocky...

"Oh, Sophia...ever the lovesick one! What the hell are you gonna to do, now that your dear Alexander didn't transform you?" She taunted, causing Sophia to lunge at her and grab her. The girl's grip was strong...stronger than she remembered, evidently a result of having been transformed. Cordelia struggled to let herself loose amidst the ongoing chaos, her arms bruising from the pressure, but the vampire's arms wouldn't yield. Thinking quickly, she raised her arm and faced the gun towards Sophia's face and fired a shot once again. This seemed to work, as she felt the arms loosen around her. She gripped the gun tightly and pounded its body on her arms several times, forcing the vampire to let go. Cordelia had to kill her before she got used to her vampire body, Colt warned. Turning around and stepping backward, the Irish girl held the gun so that it was level with Sophia's chest. Colt had dealt with Diego and Mario, judging from the bodies on the ground, and now, all they needed to get through was Sophia. Wyatt and Alexander? They had nobody else here, nobody to defend them.

"Fuck you, Susanna Blue! I should've had Wyatt and Alexander eliminate you the first time you defied me!" Sophia cried, her face bloody from the gunshot as she advanced clumsily towards Cordelia. The bullet had lodged itself between her eyes. She was a far cry from her former self just minutes ago, her beauty all but gone. Cordelia laughed in reply.

"Who's the eejit here then, bitch? There won't be any more next times," Cordelia spat as she pulled the trigger and shot, doing so a few more times as long as she heard the woman scream. Only until the screams stop did she relent, having shot five times. Lowering her arm, she made her way towards the motionless body lying faceup. Bullets punctured Sophia's chest on both sides, her collarbone and between her breasts. Not wanting to be too confident, she aimed once more at the left side of Sophia's chest and fired a bullet, ending her.

Cordelia looked up once more and shuffled towards Colt, still holding her gun. The worst was far from over, and they still had to deal with Wyatt and Alexander, who had now taken monstrous forms. They were injured, but still very much alive, and there was definitely no reasoning with them...they had to be eliminated. Holding her arm up, she aimed at Alexander, the man who kept her under an iron grip for so long, and fired two shots at his neck. Unfortunately, Alexander had dodged one and the other bullet just hit the side of his neck. The monster retaliated by dashing forward and pinning her down, raking at her with his sharp claws. Cordelia felt Alexander's blood-laced breath hot, and struggled, trying not to allow him to take her weapon. Gripping it tightly with one hand, and balling her other into a fist, she started beating at him, not willing to give up, even if it meant dying. No, she wasn't going to call for help...if she wanted out, she had to learn to fight and take care of herself.

Alexander leaned in closer, towards her neck, and Cordelia didn't move her head...she couldn't move if she wanted her plan to work. She stretch out her arm and aimed the gun towards his neck, on his blind side, before firing twice once again in defiance.
Male!Selena would sound like...yup, Chrom. XD Matthew Mercer also voices Trey (quite a pretty, nerdy boy) in Final Fantasy Type-0, and Trey does give off a Male!Selena vibe. Here's the thing...he's also Kanji in some Persona 4 stuff. XD I swear, I use Type-0 as a reference because the cast is huge. XD Female Dante would have a long, loose braid or something like that...I can just imagine it. XD

Evan (well, her actual male name would be "Evgeni"...the name Artem calls her sometimes, but would prefer an English form, hence Evan) would definitely be the same as Evie. XD

And, here's the second set! XD



Andre (Inigo), Evie (Gerome), Dante (Lucina), Mira (Noire), Cisrian (Morgan), Selena (Cynthia), Jayden (Owain)

Winners for me in this set are Dante, Selena and in some weird way, Cisrian. XD I made Cisrian deliberately trap-like, considering Morgan can be either gender. XD Mira...must never get near the color green again! XD Some of them were very difficult (Dante most so, followed by Mira), others were very easy (especially Selena). There were no glaives for Cynthia!Selena, so I went for a rapier instead. XD God, why does Owain!Jayden remind me of Neil Patrick Harris?! Usually, the hairdos I pick are a hybrid of the hair of character they're representing, and their own hair. XD
I wanted to play around with the hair...naturally, whoever was Libra had to be the victim, because Libra's hair is fabulous. XD Dante looks probably the most natural and "in the zone" out of all of them, hehe. XD I think Selena was probably the one who did his hair, hehe. XD Yup, Evie actually did pull off Aversa surprisingly well...I think the hair sealed the deal...it was somehow available! XD

That would be difficult...is Andre's voice naturally high-pitched for a guy or is it baritone-ish? XD I definitely can see Jayden sounding like Yosuke from P4, Dante sounding like Cloud Strife and Cisrian sounding smoother than Dante...not sure if deeper like Sephiroth's or higher like Loki's though. XD If everyone were genderbent though..."Evan" would have a voice like Nine's from FF Type-0, so Orion Acaba. "Andrea" would definitely sound a bit like Maribelle, so Melissa Fahn. "Beatrice" (fem!Dante) should probably have a voice like Lightning's, and "Jade"...probably Rise Kujikawa's voice. XD
First batch, coming right up! XD I must admit, some of them look really silly (considering that it's difficult to find close matches). Others...look surprisingly good. XD



Jayden (Gaius), Selena (Maribelle), Cisrian (Henry), Mira (Tharja), Dante (Chrom), Evie (Aversa), Andre (Libra)

The winner here is probably Cisrian, hehe. Look at that face, it's just insane! XD He pulls off Henry in the weirdest way. XD Dante too! Would he even allow anyone to tame his hair that way? XD Currently doing the second gen set...XD

Andre's voice? Should it be a voice that's able to change pitch easily? XD I play Dissidia Final Fantasy, and there's this playable character (Bartz) who mimics other characters' voices (females included, mind you), and it's apparently the same voice actor doing all the mimics...so him, probably? Check this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R14q5ALHR78). Hear the female voices? Same dude who voices the dark-haired guy. XD Or maybe Andre should sound like a younger version of France from Hetalia, hehe. XD Evie's voice should not be as "elegant" as Selena's and Mira's, but definitely feminine nonetheless...still don't know who'll voice Sice or Seven from Final Fantasy Type-0's English dub yet...both of those characters look like they'd have voices that fit Evie. XD
