ArtFight attack on @squishidoodles of her character Kinsai

Aye, captain!

So here are my more lore-aware kiddos. Lemme attempt to introduce them:

Coral's father (Aldebaran) and Blaze's father (Polaris) were brothers. Polaris lived with his family in Tempest Heights, a small Storm Weredragon village, while Aldebaran, who turned out to be a Depth Weredragon (their parents were from the two different tribes), built his home in Aquarius, domed city of the Depths. That's where Coral had spent her childhood, made friends and studied. From her mother (Cordelia's) side, she inherited the mysterious future-gazing ability she possesses, yet by no means mastered. Coral wields a silver blade, Ripple, although it's more of a ceremonial shortsword at first; the Depths are considered relatively safe from our main antagonist and his army. Coral has a quick wit and a sharp, efficient mind. She's a very good decision maker- but not so much so when trapped in an enclosed space. Apparently, she's extremely claustrophobic.

Max is a young, promising knight beginning his formal service in the Order of the Oasis; his father (Sandaa) is one of the current elders of the order. They live in the underground city- Oasis- underneath the Sahara desert. The order was initially meant to guard the Draconite, later resolving to protect the substitute elemental diamonds, the Aqua-Gems, from the threat a returning invasion. Max has honed his skills and swordsmanship for years, and wields a bronze katana named Essence. He looks up to his father, mother (Suna) and elder brother (Aelius/ Ale), and strives to become an exemplary knight. His first mission is to guard Coral, daughter of an Aquarius senator, and her companions in their quest; and he takes his purpose very, very seriously. He gets stressed very easily, too.

Jack is a wildcard. Born to the shunned tribe of the Shadow Weredragons, under the rule of the tyrant who attempted to steal the Draconite centuries ago and bought them their infamy, he has one goal and one goal only: to put his family back together. His father (Theodore), a highly-ranked servant in Raven's court, was tasked with tracking and capturing the Phoenix and sent away from home when Jack was very young. With his mother and little brother mysteriously lost, all he wants is to have things back the way they used to be. Jack escaped the hidden Shadow capital, Abyss, and set out on his lonely quest to find the Phoenix- and some answers. He wears his father's old jacket, and wields his old, discarded sword- Emerald.

Edgar, in the meantime, grew up somewhere different. Quite drastically so. I can't elaborate too much on that Argent at the moment, but what's important is that he's found his way back. He shares motives with his older brother, and they have a lot of catching up to do. Edgar does not wield a weapon; instead, he possesses a small piece of chalk. That would be his greatest asset: the Dreamweaver. Edgar can draw anything into existence, so long as he understands said thing's nature; and the chalk is rechargable by sunlight.

Honestly I feel like it could go either way.

Sora and Link are both The Hero of their stories, so neither one can really loose since the hero always wins. BUT, since they are both hero's of video games, controlled by maniacs with controllers, then if it came down to a duel between the two I think it would be more like a duel between the players. You're already breaking the fourth wall by pitting them against each other, so this works for me.

But if it came down to character against character, I don't know. Skill wise I think they're pretty much equal. If you wanted to shake things up you could have them trade weapons and have at it that way, there's a thought.

Ah, so it's come to this.

I think, if I examine my self objectively, as if I'm not myself and viewing myself, then I think I lean more on the side of Roxas. I love them both, but if I have to choose, I guess it would be Roxas. (Sorry, Sora.)
