Nice work I like the pose and the way you have the huge sword behind her. I'm also a fan of the selective subtle blushing you used

Hot DAMN... Can I be partnered up with her? Pleeeeease? That's a real swordswoman, right there... That, and I have a thing for big ribbons in character's hair, it's so damn cute.

? Can I have her? I really want to keep her! I'd be good, promise!

Thaylien In reply to kittizak [2013-02-20 23:59:06 +0000 UTC]

ADVENTURE!! I'd head out with her on an epic trip to find our destiny, with no real goal in mind other than to explore this vast and beautiful world, and maybe get some heart-warming romance in the interludes.

See, the way she is here in the Card project, she's the perfect foil for me and my attitude. Heck, you'll see the contrast when my card comes up, but for a little clue take a look at the title I've been given; Number 22, Hakukou Reikage. Completely adverse to Zoey in both powers, style, and it's highly likely in personality too. The one thing they would have in common is the journey, the adventure. I have images in my head of the ridiculous shenanigans that could happen with them! Banter, casual insults, backhanded compliments and sword-swinging action, followed by kicking back to relax and enjoy a calm sunset with drinks in hand... talk about things that don't really matter... yeah, just that kind of thing

Best bit (for you as the girl's proud creator, not for Nick, sucks for him) is, in a story like that, they'd never get together. There'd be no end of chances for raising the tension, but always the comedy relief would get in the way, or they'd be in the middle of a battle, or one of them would get pushed out of a plane, that sort of thing. It'd keep the viewers/readers guessing and make for a great source of fan-generated content. Consider it a Spike Spiegel and Faye Valentine relationship, it never happens, but there was always that chance.

Whaddya say? Can I steal her away? Send them on a journey into the unknown together? It'd be fun!

I guess it would be an AU version of her.

She is a soldier, a modern day viking of sorts, with shamanistic touches thrown in, even some berserker stuff as well seeing how she's a blood knight in battle.

She is also bound to get married, and sometime later killed in action.

Thaylien In reply to kittizak [2013-02-21 01:04:35 +0000 UTC]

In that case, it'd absolutely *have* to be an AU (well, how else would my character get into the mix?).

A Blood Knight, you say? Innnnnteresting... So, she basically has the viking adventuring, fight with honour or die with honour, eat, drink and be the best or nothing attitude, but tempered with the shamanistic side you mentioned, thus appearing a little colder, more withdrawn than the average berserker. Her additional skills, the shaman side, would let her buff herself in battle and sow a little chaos in the ranks of her opponents, I'd guess, but the status of Blood Knight is a new one... a bit of a game changer there... And let's not forget that if pushed too far, the proverbial red mist descends and she hits a full on rage-mode, making her powerful, deadly and unheeding of her own wounds.

I could see that becoming a bit of a 'thing' with Nick, he has to learn not only her limits before she hits berserk mode, but also whether to stop it or not, whether she's just getting herself hurt or whether the cost of her rage is actually something she's willing to pay. And, of course, as a speed/skill based character, Nick would need to get creative to actually stop her if he had to, because he's not strong enough, nor would his powers really hit hard enough (without prep) to stop her on his own.

Shame about the marriage and KIA fate, but I doubt she's the type to go out from old age

So, it's serious warrior with a heavy past and an equally heavy future, who seeks her Doom in the heat of battle yet hasn't found one who has the strength to kill her, meets a completely care free warrior with a past he has escaped and a future he hopes to find, who only seeks to truly enjoy what life now presents him despite his sense of duty throwing him in the path of danger again and again.

Don't you think that'd make for a good story? Throw in a third character for comedy relief and a mascot creature, a plot based around some world-wide scheme to revive an ancient evil, with strong minions that can challenge our duo at alarmingly regular intervals, and an ending based around the fact that the comedy relief never was who they claimed they were and is instead the key to permanently sealing said ancient evil. Et voila! One story. Even better, make it so that the comedy relief has actually summoned the two warriors there from across the worlds, meaning that the moment their quest is over the two will return to their separate worlds and only remember this adventure in their dreams. Covers all the bases, hmm?

You'll have to tell me more about Zoey, I could write some absolutely classic scenes if I knew about her abilities

kittizak In reply to Thaylien [2013-02-21 01:37:37 +0000 UTC]

it's not that she's a death seeker, she just enjoys a good fight, although she can get carried away at times.

also, while she's really confident in her skills, and despite acting like a tease when she's not in combat, she's actually highly insecure on anything that could be considered "normal" life...

this shows a bit more of her personality.

Thaylien In reply to kittizak [2013-02-21 08:14:33 +0000 UTC]

Dude... dude-guy-dude... She's perfect It's like the opposite relationship to the ones you see in all the anime. In those it's always the guy that has the big sword and has the issues with normalcy, the one that's comfortable in battle but feels they have no real purpose outside it, and then it's the female companion who runs on skill and speed, using nimbleness and quick thinking to make up for what they lack in physical strength. Just flip that on its head and we have a trend-breaker!

Such a simple switch would be all that's needed to make a story so classic into something a little newer. They'd get on each other's nerves in battle, at first, and outside of it she'd have that conflict of being able to joke a little, but having her reserved side, and a lot of pride, that wouldn't let her join in with the relaxed atmosphere that Nick always started to create, annoying him that little bit more.

Until they learned to work together, Nick using his skill to work around her power, and Zoey using her force to exploit the openings made by Nick's speed. Once they learn that, then actual conversation wouldn't be too hard to figure out, and finally they can share some real laughter around the campfire. He'll finally 'get' her conflicts and know how to avoid bringing up difficult moments, and she'll finally see that he's a good guy, not a frivolous idiot, and deal with him normally at last.

Ah, my new friend, I want to write bits of that story right now, but I have to go to work! Cruel fates!

Not really sure if the personality was right, in his work Zoey is actually more on the softer side at least to me. I just thought a little bit of spicy attitude would make her look more confident (also might be the fact in his work Zoey wears similar outfits which kind of feels like an outgoing girl).

So this is the kind of character you have the hots for huh?

Actually, the personality came out perfect!

When she's on the battlefield, she brims on confidence and is a bit of a blood knight even.

I'd say hold that picture in a distant and see it again. Sometimes you see more things when they're not close in front of you.

Ink it after you are satisfy with it? It may take a while or you can start something new and then come back to it again maybe you'll feel more refreshed about it.

Why, oh why, does simply saying that on its own make it sound about a thousand times dirtier than you meant it to?

On the one hand there's team in the sense that one is usually composed of about eleven or more other people, while on the other there's the genders being referred to as teams. In which case I'm not sure which meaning gives me the classic nose-bleed more.
