1) Name: Vice Perch

2)
Appearance: Vice has short, somewhat messy purple hair and teal eyes. She has a slim build and wears a blue open jacket over a black top.

Background: Modeled and cloned after the deceased daughter of professor Adrian Perch. Vice is the first successful attempt at cloning a human being. She has been forced to live with a family she has no recollection of. Understanding that she is a clone of their deceased daughter has made her accept the position of filling her place, however, she understands not the memories they talk about nor does she feel any emotion toward these individuals. She is forced to play this game of house everyday as only her 'parents' are aware of her true identity, leaving her 'siblings' in the dark. She knows not who the original Vice was, solely that she is a copy of her, feature and personality wise. Being forced into this position has given Vice a negative outlook on life, believing that she has no right to be her own person and only allowed to follow in the steps of her original. Vice craves anything that will break the monotony and litany of her everyday life. Anything that allows her to be just a little different than she's supposed to.

Being a clone meant that professor Adrian could scientifically do whatever he wanted to her during her creation. Wanting to see how far he could get with gene modification, he granted Vice with the ability to tap into anyone and anythings mind. The only issue with this being that it causes both her and the victim extreme pain and in her case, fatigue, migraines, and bleeding. Otherwise she would have used this ability to gain some memories of who she's supposed to be. She also has the ability of telekinesis, however this yields similar consequences.

Vice is a reliable, bookish, out of touch and somewhat emotionally distant girl who is living a lie. While she should technically be exactly like the old Vice, the lack of memories as mentioned earlier causes her to feel as though she is an imposter. Vice has acted out on several occasions in privacy to her parents, however, this only lead to her being scolded. Death may be her only escape, yet she is not ready to die when she has yet to live.

3) Skills: Telekinesis, Mind reading.

4) Credits: NeoFantasy, Degica, Kadokawa.

6) Tools: Procreate to edit hair colour

Condition 1

Sprites

Might as well give it a shot. This is based on one of my longest-lived D&D characters.

1) Character name: Fonciel

2) About your character: background, characteristic, personality, etc: Fonciel is a novice sorceress from the Autren dimension. As she studied Autren magic, she accidentally created a rift in reality. Curious, she walked through this rift and arrived in our dimension, only to discover that it was a one-way trip. She wants to return home, but the essence of magic in our dimension is far different than that of her own, and she has had to start learning magic again from scratch. And with the rift she created still open, who knows who or what could follow her here?

Extremely intelligent, Fonciel quickly learns language and the different fields of magic from her teachers. Within a few months, she displayed an affinity for transformation magic, even discovering the secret of alchemy on her own. Despite this, she feels she has a long way to go before she can start to figure out a way home.

Because she comes from a very different reality, she has difficulty dealing with people. She has trouble understanding our culture and holding casual conversations. Her style of reasoning often takes people off-guard, since she comes at problems with a very different mindset. Sometimes this causes her to be very persuasive, but other times it can seem like she's off-topic or doesn't care. In reality, she is always quite kind and genuine, always willing to help people she sees in need, and never willing to tolerate wrongdoing.

3) Skills (if any): Transformation magic - Fonciel sees the world differently than we do, and thus she has developed a talent for transforming things

4) Credits for users to use your work: EagleFG

1) Name: Ross [Smith]

2) Appearance: Muscular, 23 years old, Medium brown hair; Everything she wears reflects her lineage (Small head ornament, goggles, brooch, bangle, and nougat villager's dress)

Background: Ross was originally raised as a farmhand like her mother; however, when it was discovered that she had a gift for a small form of magic, she joined an apprenticeship under her father to work as a blacksmith once she came of age. Recently, she's started bringing her family's goods to her kingdom's main courtyard to sell on the weekly marketplace. It was on one of these trips that she became whisked away on a grand adventure of discovery, triumph, sadness, and love armed only with her "lucky" head ornament, and some silverware and some clothes made by her mother she meant to sell after an attack by enemy assassins devastated her kingdom's central square.

Ross is a simple, friendly, hard-working young blacksmith and convoy who lives for her family and her lord (if a bit forgetful of her manners when the latter isn't present). A product of the simple-life, she doesn't really know much about fighting or spells, but really shines--to an apprentice's extent--when given an anvil and supple materials.

3) Skills: Forging, Tending sheep; Also, as a Half-Mage, she can use a synthetic form of magic given to her by her tiara and has fire resistance.

4) Credits: I just did this all myself

Noways, he lives among the mysterious and amazing creatures that inhabit the unexplored world.

With his knowledge of alchemy, he has taken the role of a guardian and caretaker to the young and injured creatures that otherwise couldn't fend for themselves. Many of these creatures grow attached to him, and can be called upon if need be. He isn't fond of combat, and prefers to settle disputes with intellect, as opposed to brute force. Despite this, he has lost his right eye while defending an injured creature, known as a Stumpoof.

1) Character name: Reth, Fated Dragonslayer

2) About your character: Reth was born to a small family on a farm, south of the capital of a long gone kingdom. His parents raised him to become a farmer, and told him to ignore all the fighting that is happening outside their farm. Despite their warnings, at the age of 17, Reth went out to explore nearby and stumbled upon a clash between four people and a giant six-headed snake, which is also known as a hydra.
He looked from a distance as the fight raged on, during the fight one of the people in the group noticed him, yet continued focusing on the hydra. With some injuries, the beast was slain, and the group approached the cowering Reth. Arscent, a tall man with heavy armour and seemingly the leader of this group, invited him to join them on their quest to slay a dragon, but Reth explained that he couldn't fight with them.
Tiar, a thin woman with light combat clothing and twin daggers on her belt, and another member of the group, offered to train him herself, and he accepted the task. Reth ran away with his few belongings, and joined as a fresh recruit of this group by the name of Drafectorem. Arscent explained that their end goal was an ancient dragon, and mentioned of a prophecy that stated the dragon's death is near. Reth didn't need more of an explanation than that, believing in their goal to be just and right.
Training with the group proved hard for him, but Reth managed to grasp the basics of the sword within a few weeks. His first true challenge came when the group finally faced the dragon, equipped with nothing but a small sword and some spare purple tinted armour he was given. At first the group prepared their weapons, but the dragon was ready for any tactic they tried against him, at first not even attempting to kill them. When Arscent ordered the retreat, the dragon started his counter-attack, launching fire at the party.
Reth ran away to a safe place, seeing his party attempting to take down the dragon, each giving everything they had, but it wasn't enough. Within minutes, everyone fell, and the dragon looked over at the cowering Reth and gave him this message:
"Fight and perish, or flee and live another day."
This message prompted Reth to run away, with the intent of slaying the dragon in the future, perhaps even fulfill this prophecy. Motivated by anger for his friends, he plans on extracting revenge by any means necessary, despite this he has a carefree attitude, taking everything at his own pace.

3) Skills (if any): Reth uses a small sword with a unique fighting style, as if it's a sickle instead of a sword, and he has a bit of agricultural knowledge from the time he was a farmer.

4) Credits for users to use your work: RomEngine.

5) Materials you used: Character base generator, colours are custom.

6) Tools you used: RPG Maker XV Ace Character Generator, GIMP.

7) If original content is used, please add conditions of use: Condition 1.

1) Character name: Aleya Nevr'sturm

2) About your character: background, characteristic, personality, etc:
Aleya's parents were eaten alive when she was young, and she had been practically raised by the family cat and the nearby fairies. It wasn't until an airship crashed near one of her daily quests that she made her first human friend, a high-ranking officer of a mechanical empire.

Aleya is a happy-go-lucky idiot, but mainly because she wasn't raised with human understanding, and being raised in a eat-or-be-eaten island, she ended up being a big eater. The first thing she usually thinks of is quick to leave her mouth, and rarely do those words suggest a battle plan. Nevertheless, she seems to possess some good memory as she was taught to hold a sword and be helpful when she was young.

3) Skills (if any): Aleya works well with one and two-handed swords and shields. In fact, she hands the shield so well that she can practically manipulate the Guard state. Otherwise, she is a power-type attacker with no leaning to any elements.

Battle Version
Casual Version

1) Character name: Michael Mythrical Catheans

2) About your character: background, characteristics, personality, etc:


Michael was born the youngest of three and considered normal. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. It’s just, that with his father the Aeromanager, his mother the Hydrokinetic, his brother the Pyrogenesic, and his sister a second Aeromanager, it was expected that he would show signs of some sort of power during his childhood. He didn’t. That surprised a lot of people inside and outside the family. Without a power to rely on, he went to a non-powered school, made friends with other normals that had levels of envy, jealously, fear about those with powers. Then, he came home to hear about the stories of his brother fighting his first enemies, his mother’s worry over the children of lost friends. His father and sister both had problems thanks to pollution in the air. With both sides playing in his head, he keeps out of most arguments about powered people.

At fourteen, an old enemy of his mom came to try and kill the three children while their parents were away. His brother knocked cold and sister focused on the fallen, some internal instinct awoke and he started creating a fire wall to keep the enemy back. When it started dying down, he commanded air to feed into it, growing it until a friend of their parents came over to run off said enemy. That’s when he was retested to find he wasn’t normal like everyone perceived. He had a power, copying everyone elses around him.

This came with a challenge for the family. How do you train someone for every possible ability they could use? It takes years for people to master one without destroying themselves or environments. How as Michael going to handle multiple types?

Since he grew up ‘normal’ among a family of powers, he learned to adapt in handling things without relying on a power to avoid or defend himself. Even keeping his power to himself, he’ll allow enemies to believe he’s normal until he’s copying their powers and resistances to beat them at their own game. He’s become a fast adapter, skill wise, personality wise, learning wise. When going into combat, he prefers something that’s easy to move around in. Most of the body armor is concentrated on his chest, upper legs and arms. Armor on his lower legs inhibits mobility too much to be worth of any use, the same with his arms. Helmets block his view, instead he dons goggles after being able to take flight. He’s not treated as the ‘baby’ in most senses of the word. They were never going to be able to shield him from what was going on. Michael has a balanced head on his shoulders, and doesn’t relish or joke as much as he should for emotional health. His paranoia is usually on a low, unless he just finished dealing with a rotten enemy. On average, he would be comparable to some of the law enforcement/guards of his home.

His normal friends have a few thoughts on his abilities. Some think he’s awesome. Others believe he’s safer, as he’s requires other powered individuals to react. (Although he knows that’s untrue. He still carries a fragment of any and all powers he has ever copied. A ghost power that can be channeled for a few seconds.) More believe he hid among them as a wolf among sheep. Those former friends broke off. He felt betrayed by those, feeling he hasn’t changed from who he was before.

3) Skills (if any): Skill Copy, Deflect, Reflect

Character name: Darcy Sullivan

1)



2) About your character: background, characteristic, personality, etc.:
Marcy Sullivan is a very intelligent 17 year old serial killer who murders sexist/racist/corrupt people by Injecting them with custom form of poison that she created. The poison Darcy uses is not one that kills the person who is injected with it in a normal way. The poison slowly alters the way the person views the world. They slowly become paranoid of the people around them, misunderstandings are interpreted in a much worse way, and they eventually end up killing themselves to get over their intense paranoia. The poison has multiple stages. Starting with the recipient becoming suspicious of the people around him/her. It usually starts by the recipient becoming concerned when their cruel ways turn the person they want to make feel worse, into a creepy person. Example: A sexist guy sees a woman walking down the street in a business suit, and right before he opens his mouth to tell her to "Get back into the kitchen", she turns around and stares at him while putting a finger up to her lips, signaling him to not say anything. Or a corrupt person would approach a homeless person and ask them to pay him/her all his days earning otherwise She/he would beat them up. But when he/she is on their way to force the homeless person to give her/him money, the homeless person would stand up and walk into an alleyway, and right before they turn the corner, the corrupted person sees the homeless person wielding a knife.

Eventually, the poison makes the person paranoid to the point where every form of person that they would usually discriminate against would stare at them whenever they pass by him/her with a faint smile and one of their hands behind their backs or in a pocket, indicating a weapon of some sort. And out of fear, they eventually kill themselves.

Darcy created the drug due to watching many mystery/murder movies/shows when she was younger. As she grew older, she wanted to kill people, but could never do it because it is obviously illegal. She was a genius by any standard and loved to stick around in chemistry class, in this class, she would experiment with many of the materials in the lab. She accidentally created the drug while messing around, and learned of it's effect when she accidentally spilt some of the formula on her Chemistry teacher, who happened to be a pedophile. He would walk into class each day terrified of the students he was teaching, until he eventually killed himself.

Once Darcy found out about the drugs effect, she would walk around the streets at night and find the worst of the worst people that would hang out in the city, knock them out with a gas version of another one of the drugs she created, then inject them with the poisonous drug.
Afterwards, she observes the recipient slowly go mad to satisfy her desire to kill people.


Side: One of her experiments went wrong and turned her hair grey, she really hates it, but she's yet to find a way to change her hair colour back to normal.





Darcy's Background...
Her mom is From Korea, and her dad is American, but she was born in Canada.

Darcy's Characteristic/Personality...
She is very reserved and has no problem being alone, but she loves talking with her friends. Due to her being very smart, she sometimes comes off as snappy or mean to people who don't understand her, but she doesn't mean to be so, she just comes off too strongly. She has a few close friends, but sometimes they say slightly sexist/racist things, but she gives them a pass because she cares deeply about them.

Also, she really loves to shop at convenience stores and loves to eat at Funnel-Mart. Other than hating bad people, she also hates it when people kill others for reasons that she finds stupid.






3) Skills: Due to her being very smart and resourceful, she is able to create biological weapons out of the materials she has around her

Name: Calamito the Elf

About your character:

You may have heard the tale of Calamito, told in taverns across the land. Perhaps you've forgotten it and need me to refresh your memory... Or you've only heard the watered down version...

Calamito was a very special elf. And quite hard to miss!

For he was the wealthiest Elf to ever walk the world! He was so rich in fact that he ordered the Royal Tailor to make him an entire wardrobe made of golden clothes, embroidered with precious gems.
And of course, such incredible garments were meant to be seen and talked about!

So Calamito wore them everywhere he traveled to. At parties, at funerals, at parades (he insisted to be apart of every known parade), on all his crazy adventures and even when he went out to purchase clothes (and of course nothing in the shops equaled the marvels he was already wearing).

One day Calamito collided with a pigeon, which was carrying a message for him. The message was inviting him on a blind date!
The elf had read peculiar tales of how a grey Elf had found love with a royal dwarf, and the invitation enticed him into imagining, he would meet the dwarf of his dreams...

The fact that the date was to take place inside a pitch dark cave, beneath the Mountain of Terrors, didn't worry him one bit! It was a blind date after all, a dark place fit the idea. And love knows no obstacles. So he wore his most expensive fashions, curled his fabulous long locks, and set off for a date with destiny.

All unfolded like in a romantic fairy tale... except for one detail. Calamito was unhappy to discover that his date was with three monstrous Orc-bandits. It could've still gone well if the Orcs didn't capture the Elf, stealing all his clothes and possessions, and even shaving his hair to make sponges (Elf hair is very absorbent). They abandonned him naked in the dark and they left, to live happily ever after, right after their visit to a pawn shop.

Now, worry not for Calamito, dear friends, for as they say, Luck smiles at imbeciles, and the elf sure fit the bill.

By amazing chance, Calamito found a barrel to hide in! Only 4 days after freezing naked in the wild!

That was all that Lady Luck handed him however, for when he tried to return home, no one recognized him, and he was kicked off his own premises by the guards. The elf didn't give up hope, he decided to regain his fortune by working hard and adventuring with passion. Unfortunately it's hard to find work when one is dressed with a barrel...

They say he's still out there, rolling his barrel and dreaming of his lost, golden speedo.



Skills (if any): Rolling in his barrel, hiding in the barrel, attracting gold-diggers.
Weaknesses: Overpaying for brand clothes, Miscalculating the odds, Attracting woodpeckers, Disliking Barrel Clothing.

Credits for users to use your work: Degica for the character and most of the barrel & I for the character's identity and edits. Credit me as starlight_dream
