Welcome to Gaia! ::

Your minis name: Artymus
Your character's name: Margaret Lenoir (a.k.a Maggie)
Faction: Halloween (Student)
Link to their journal/quest thread: Maggie's Room (U/C)
What do they look like?: Armor-like arm/shoulder/back apparatus that hooks onto the hands, and goes up the arms, to rest on the shoulders and attaches to itself in the back. Would have joints to allow for movement, and the arm and hand parts would wrap to be more like braces to allow for deflection of oncoming attacks with other weapons, as well as small interlocking armor plates to protect the shoulders and upper back. End of the hand part of the apparatus would have 4-inch long, thick claws attached for doing damage.
Gush about it! What do you like about it? Justifications? Any random bit of info goes here! Since Maggie shifts into a panther, it makes sense to have something reminiscent of that fact, ergo the claws. Since panthers are particularly heavy, yet agile, something that could be also be used as a type of shielding would be almost ideal since the hunter would have to have hand-to-hand combat skills. With the brace-like arms and hands, it would be less likely that arm/hand injuries would occur, though it's still likely. With only the top and back of the shoulders covered, the weak point would be in the chest, but since the claws aren't 5873925 feet long or anything, the chest area is still readily defensible against attack.

Maggie would be, heartbroken to be used against other students, to be quite honest. If she were to be turned into a weapon, her distress would probably override her "regular" emotions and her feral panther instinct would completely take over ensuring that the rest of Maggie's mind stayed intact, as well as feeding her animalistic blood-lust. If her instinct did take over, she'd feel no pity, no pain, no guilt, and certainly no loyalty, except to the hand that feeds. (Alex was really her only friend and now he's dead, so the instinctual side has no qualms about self-preservation against other students.)

Your character's name: Jason Kenneth
Faction: Hunter- Moon
Link to their journal/quest thread: Linkies!
What would they look like?: Considering Zathvos looks humanoid already, Jason would look like a large misty humanoid with feathery wings, and two horns jutting out of his head.
Gush about it! I have to admit, it would be a ton of fun to roleplay Zanthvos being in control. While he's typically a pervy pain in the a**, deep down inside he does care about Jason and wouldn't want to see him get hurt. So depending on who attacks him, he may try to kill them, or he may hold back (especially if the hunter is well known to Jason.), even trying to reason with them.

Meanwhile, he may try to cop a feel. Because why not.

Your character's name: Danny Fitz
Faction: Halloween
Link to their journal/quest thread: Here
What would they look like?: Danny would be a pair of black brass knuckles, with runes that glow like embers. Her hunter's FEAR would allow them to light on fire O v O / ! The hunter would probably be someone just as energetic and fun as Danny. Unfortunately for the hunter, Danny's not that smart, so they'd probably get frustrated a lot in the ways of advice.
Gush about it! Danny would probably be a horrible weapon. She'd love her hunter to death, but be absolutely useless as a guide figure. That, and she'd probably be incredibly confused as to why they're hurting all the nice things. Kind of like Shun, there'd be a lot of conflict since Danny is very pro-halloween > U<

Your minis name: AliLV
Your character's name: Jake Cross
Faction: Deus Ex
Link to their journal/quest thread: Stay out
What would they look like?: Considering Chester's a pure-blood nergal, there'd be sharp glowly stuff and tentacles... everywhere. And a limb or two.
I DUN EVEN KNOW. HAVE A GRIM REF HERP
/never not Grim
Gush about it! Just the idea of combining weapon and hunter, just... OMGGGGGGG <333333333333
And I think it's awesome to finally give the weapons free reign since you mostly just see the hunter's actions, and nothing the weapon does/say really comes to light.

Chester... is like the complete opposite of Jake. He's nice, caring, and doesn't like hurting others... especially humans. Halloweeners... he has mixed feelings about, but would still refrain from attacking them unless they were super hostile. Basically... he's just a sitting target. A really creepy-looking sitting target, and all the while Jake would just be screaming at him to go kill someone or something... and probably finally understand how Chester feels whenever he ignored him LOL.

If they're really close to kicking the bucket though, Chester might start getting more defensive, blocking hits, trying to flee, since he does still care for his hunter, and doesn't want him to die, despite them being morphed into some abomination.

Just imagine those really annoying bosses who do nothing but HEAL. slkdfjsldkfsdf

Your character's name: Before
Faction: Hunter (Mist)
Link to their journal/quest thread: Room 104
What would they look like?: Panna Yukuta aka Vanna's natural is a devil shield, essentially an eight-spiked shield with a face that levitates. A "merged" Vanna and Before would have two forms, the first would be the protective/defensive form. They would be hovering off the ground due to a devil shield's natural ability of levitation. But wait! Where is Before in all this? I'm glad you asked. Essentially, Before's torso (pictured as armless but can "grow" thin, spindly tendrils for arms if needed) is coiled inside the "shell" much like a snail or an oyster. And like a snail or an oyster, the insides of the shell is less metal and more organic to show the fusion between Before and Vanna. It's not obvious/visible because I don't have the skill for it but Before's organic parts are sorta mucus-y or slimy and may or may not be acidic to the touch.
Gush about it! I rather like how unassuming their merged form is when Vanna's being protective and then when it's time for Before to emerge, it looks just plain weird. Honestly if I had the skill, the organic-ness of their merged form would be very "fleshy" and I think that's my favorite part. As for how they would act, it entirely depends on the trigger. If at the time Before had been rolled instead of Petro, and he saw Bix die (at the hands of his fellow Hunters to boot) I think he would never have closed and would be running everyone over with his spiked "wheels" out of anger and retaliation.

If no one he was particularly close to/fond of had met an unfortunate fate, he'd remain in his closed form until he got attacked a lot. Vanna isn't really all that aggressive given that she's a shield and would only "overtake" when faced against someone Before doesn't have the heart to hit, like, say, Victoria or Aria or Gale.

As for the section of the description where Before can "grow" spindly tendrils, I also imagine Before would shoot those out to wrap around an unsuspecting individual and yank them towards him and have Vanna clamp shut around their middle. Or have him pull the person in completely to either let the slime/mucus of his insides slowly dissolve them or since he's coiled inside like he was doing an extreme backflip, maybe dislocate the individual's spine by trying to wind them up as well.

tl;dr - IDK I may have read one too many Claymore chapters and stared at Awakened Being art for too long when this contest was posted @ 3@

Your minis name: Sosiqui
Your character's name: Madison McKenzie
Faction: Hunter
Link to their journal/quest thread: here!
What would they look like?: Gosh, I wish I could draw this because it looks AWESOME in my head, haha. But basically - Kouki's true form was a very large four-headed serpent, basically a thick snake body that split into multiple long necks with snake heads - about 1/3rd of his body was neck.

Sooo I imagine that sort of form, except with some key differences. Namely, a leg sticking out near the end of the tail. And another leg sticking out near the middle of the tail. And one head on the end of an arm, with the fingers of that hand poking through the skull, maybe holding the mouth closed. And the other arm jutting out of the 'chest'.

Fun times.


Gush about it! IDK I have a weird liking for writing body horror (see also my AU contest entry olololol which was almost the same thing actually ~*i saw the future*~) so stuff like this is EXCITING and the more ******** UP it is the better. biggrin orz Madison would be... completely horrifed but probably completely knocked into her serene 'this isn't happening' place, while Kouki... I can almost imagine three heads going nuts while the last remaining head/bit of consciousness is fully aware of what's going on and struggling/fighting/filled with horror and existential angst. Because WHY NOT.

Would attack with lots of biting. And coil-stranglies. biggrin Who wants a hug?

Your character's name:Sin Err
Faction: Halloween
Link to their journal/quest thread:[X]
What would they look like?: Sin would end up being a set of Kiipooyaq with multiple weights of bone and steel. Her cord would be black and maybe striped with hot pink the way her hair had been.
Gush about it! I really like the idea of Kiipooyaq, Bolas are hard enough to weild and a weapon with multiple weights that takes skill and practice to use sums Sin up pretty well. She tries to be scary and always just comes off as pretty, you can twirl Kiipooyaq around and look good but no one is gonna be scared of you until you throw them hard enough, and with enough aim, to bring them down and break their leg. Sin probably wouldn't make practice any easier since she's so hateful of hunters she would be loath to cooperate. There would be a lot of really bad throws and as a weapon she wouldn't be as effective as a gun or a knife, but she could incapacitate. If she ever actually caused another Halloweener to die or be captured she would probably never let the hunter forget how unhappy it made her.
