Alexandra
Fearless Eyes
So after a very long hiatus from the SC series, 8WR, and CaS, I've decided to jump back in thanks to my excitement for the new game. Below are the characters I've either revisited or created specially for this thread and my own creations' story. Let me know what you all think! I'd love to get some feedback on designs.
1. Andromeda: An adversary of the Alexandra sisters and their sister-in-law following her brother Rothion's marriage to Sophitia. During the events of SCIII, she vows to protect her niece and nephew, but fails to save Pyrrha from Tira. When Sophitia does not return immediately, she sets out to hunt followers of Soul Edge and ends up murdering two women she thinks to be witches serving Nightmare. These women were daughters of Epione, the occult advisor to King Henry IV of France. Eventually, she ends up serving the Ottoman sultan as a trusted member of his council and head of his guard. She is a character I've been creating in the Soul series since SCIII, so I've attached photos of her from that game through SCV to show the evolution of her design.
2. Epione: This is a character who I initially, embarrassingly named Scarlett (clever right?) in SCIII who I've now renamed to Epione, after the Greek goddess of pain relief. She is highly influential in the courts of western Europe, going so far to becoming the occult advisor to King Henry IV of France and eventually the Holy Roman Emperor in the 17th century. She wishes to spin chaos to depose leaders, but her agenda isn't entirely clear. Andromeda and Epione are bitter enemies and their rivalry began during the events of SCIII. Andromeda's blessed weapons were able to harm and kill Epione's two daughters, making the immortal sorceress vulnerable and paranoid.
3. Shazia: This character comes from the Ottoman Empire, specifically Iran. She is of mixed descent, her mother being from Cyprus. She is a scholar and works for the Sultan, researching religious treasures. Her discovery of Soul Calibur and Soul Edge leads to a full scale investigation of Eastern Europe, which she is given full jurisdiction over.
4. Sun: A mid-tier noble from Korea, she was meant to marry into a more powerful family before running away to China. She became an artisan to make enough money to live, until a mercenary company hired her for a job in the Mediterranean to seek out Cervantes de Leon, where she became acquainted with an older Andromeda at the turn of the 17th century. After quitting a menial guard contract, she began traveling throughout Asia Minor and eventually was offered a job contract with the sultanate through her acquaintance Andromeda.
5. Lukas: The sultan's illegitimate, only son and Shazia's half-brother (they share a mother). He is a former student of Setsuka's who engaged in a physical relationship with Patroklos before the events of SCV. While seen as a stain on the sultanate's reputation for his unusual lifestyle and debauchery, he is well loved by the people. Upon the sultanate's discovery of the two swords, he is chosen by his sister to travel to Europe in search of them.
6. Felix: Epione's last surviving child, he is a tool in her plan to seize power from the French as he and Henry IV's daughter are of an age. Felix is overprotected and sheltered, but to earn Henry IV's daughter's hand he must find the cursed sword Soul Edge for his liege.
