Psykai
[12] Conqueror
Decided to make a thread where I post random creations in SCVI. Won't be much for a while until they give us moar CaS parts. I don't have many OCs except the ones I'll be sharing below but I have a couple of ideas for more. Many of my creations will probably end up being recreating old characters or 2P/3P costumes for the main cast.
I'm not very good at CaS but hopefully I'll improve over time.
That said, here's my first OC which I submitted to one of the contests on here:
He's basically 'me in Soulcalbur world' in terms of how I'd want to look, what weapon I'd use, being a good guy etc. I always gave him a feminine appearance and he's worn the same costume since SCIII, with usually a different 2P outfit in each game. My issue with him has always been he looks like a CAS :( the kind of clothing I like on him is really plain looking and just makes him look like a boring character. I'd love to somehow find a way to retain the concept for his design but make him look more like a real character.
EDIT: Here's him in Libra of Soul (I design a kind of 2P for him at the end of the first video):
And then there's Shakara...
She started out as an 'evil shamaness' concept in SCV but due to the voice I gave her, she became a character me and my friend couldn't stop laughing at and is almost an in-joke now. All because her taunt sounded like "THATS AAaaAAall!?"
I couldn't resist recreating her in SCVI and this time I decided to go the extra mile and devise an actual backstory for her:
Fun Fact: Part of her bone armor is made up of her daughter and husband's bones! For some reason I didn't write that into her story.
Hope someone likes them at least, lol. Not sure when I'll be making more. I want to add my best friend to the game and I have a vague idea for what he will be and look like so might get that uploaded in the next day or so.

His name is Kai. He was raised to be loving and compassionate by his mother in the wilderness, but her untimely death to illness found him cast out, wandering aimlessly and vulnerable in his grief. He was discovered by an aging man who offered to take him in and teach him to defend himself so that he would be better able to take care of himself. In return, Kai agreed to do menial chores for the man, who he was surprised to discover was a very powerful warrior despite his age. Kai's training proved difficult, as he had never picked up a weapon before and was not comfortable with a blade that could so easily take a life. Eventually, he picked up a staff and felt at home with it, his movements graceful, and his conscience more able to cope with bearing it as a weapon. From there on, he excelled in his training.
One night, the old man, who he knew only as 'Sensei' had a new kind of 'job' for him. He had received word that the villagers at the base of the mountain they trained on were engaging in some kind of cult activity that involved the sacrifice of children. Sensei ordered Kai to head to the village and kill everyone in sight to rid the area of their abominable act. Though horrified by the thought of what the villagers were doing, the thought of killing anyone made him uneasy, yet he could not knowingly allow innocents to suffer either, and so he proceeded to the village.
The first murder shook him to his core. So sickened by what he had done, his mind detached, his consciousness slipping away somewhere he wouldn't have to watch the massacre he was about to commit. One thing that managed to penetrate the wall in his mind, was this: not one of the people he killed looked capable of what they had been accused of.
Sensei congratulated Kai on a job well done. It seemed clear he had doubted Kai's ability to go through with it. He then stated that he planned to claim the village as his own to establish a point of power from which he would spread out, gathering powerful warriors together so that they could create an army, and he wanted Kai to lead a regiment of it. There was a look in Sensei's eye, a look that told Kai his intentions were impure.
"Those people... were innocent, weren't they?"
He didn't need an answer. The slow smile that spread across the man's face told him all he needed to know. He had been used. In a blind, emotional rage, Kai attacked the man he had once looked up to with honor and a fierce battle ensued, resulting in the death of Sensei, or so he thought...
Kai wandered aimlessly once more, horrified at what he had done. He vowed that from that point on, he would use his abilities only to protect the weak and suffering, as his mother would have wanted. Knowing he had prevented whatever evil acts Sensei had intended didn't make him feel any more at ease with himself, and one day, he knew he would have to pay for his sin...
That's it. Pretty lame and I improvised some bits on the fly 'cause I'd never really figured the full story in my head. Sensei lives, of course, and ends up seeking Soul Edge instead of an army. Kai gets wind of it, goes to stop him, and that's the final battle of Kai's Soul Chronicle I guess, lol

I couldn't resist recreating her in SCVI and this time I decided to go the extra mile and devise an actual backstory for her:
Shakara was one of the last surviving members of an ancient shamanistic tribe, and possessed great spiritual power. She lived with her lover and young daughter in the remnants of their tribe's village. When her daughter suddenly passed away from an unknown illness, Shakara slowly began to lose her mind and became obsessed with trying to bring her daughter back from the dead by performing all manner of dark, forbidden rituals, tainting her own soul in the process. Her lover was disgusted by her actions and no longer recognized the gentle woman he had fallen in love with, claiming that she was besmirching their daughter's memory. In a fit of rage, Shakara lost control and murdered her lover in cold blood, yet she felt nothing for her actions, as she understood now just how worthless the physical body truly was.
When the Evil Seed occurred, Shakara's soul had been so far corrupted by the dark rituals she had performed, that her body acted as a magnet to the evil energy of Soul Edge, causing her to become malfested and stripping her of what little humanity she had left whilst also enhancing her spiritual power even more. One night, whilst in a meditative trance, Shakara had a vision of Soul Edge, a blade with the power to steal the souls of those it slaughters. With such power, Shakara believed that she could bring her daughter back from the dead by feeding souls to the weapon in exchange for the one soul she desired in return...
