Kieve
[10] Knight
A month or two before Christmas, my girlfriend let it be known she had a fondness for Soul Calibur - news I dutifully passed on to my family, who were hurting for gift ideas. Thus, albeit a bit late to the party, we've discovered the joys of SC5's character creation. Well, the new PVR arrived today, and we can finally share some of our better creations.
I'll start things off with her favorite...
Prince (Style: Tira)
A somewhat effeminate catboy, jokester, and shameless flirt, he has completely stolen my girlfriend's heart. On the bright side, he inspired her to get back into drawing again.
Cass (Style: Natsu)
My kick-ass kitty ninja. Unlike Prince, she's what we've dubbed a "half-breed," owing to the ears and smaller stature.
*She was one of my early creations, but while the design is a little plain, I rather like her as-is. I attempted a more elaborate alternate costume later on, and it just felt overdone - sometimes simple is best, I guess.
Sebastian (Style: Viola)
Twin brother to Cass. Our running joke is, he took Yoga & Ballet classes to check out the ladies, and ended up learning a thing or two. Seeing a male character with Viola's style is all kinds of hilarious, and smacking people around with a mystic fishbowl never gets old.
Aya (Style: Devil Jin)
Training partner to Cass. She likes fruit smoothies, beefcake, and beating the stuffing out of anyone that looks at her wrong.
Kelris (Style: Natsu)
Shamelessly ripped off Inspired by rdmunhoz's tiger warrior (here). I tend to gravitate towards beast characters in most every game I play, so a tiger character was a must-have. He has yet to replace Cass as my preferred character, however. She's just too much fun.
Phineas (Style: α Pattycakes)
Sometimes when I get stumped for ideas, I do a VS match against "random" male/female characters, just to see what ridiculous gear combinations the game spits up. One of them sparked a deep desire to create a wizard. As for the playstyle, it was either that or Viola, and I really didn't want to see this old guy with that kind of hip action.
Autumn (Style: Hilde)
I really wanted to: 1. Use that Baihu Coat for something, 2. Use Hilde's style for a character other than "Default Valkyrie", and 3. Make something half as cool as Freemeal's "Tiamat" recreation. She could still use some tweaking, but I'm reasonably happy with the end result.
Comments, critique, and helpful suggestions always welcome. Plenty more characters to come - though honestly, half the fun is the personalities they take on afterwards...
