~Beyond the Border~ > Daiyousei's Cold Storage
ITT we design the cast of a Guilty Gear-esque fighting game
Hello Purvis:
Name: Hendrix
Threat Rating: S
No one knows where Hendrix came from, or what her deal is. She is an apparent pacifist, which makes her participation in the tournament all the more weird. Whatever he deal is, it's well known that King Gurren has declared her to be a under numerous death penalties, to be inflicted all at once. Greater Tripoli has offered a mountain of gold for her head. New Neo Mongolia has offered a slightly less impressive hill of nickels for her capture. It is generally believed that Hendrix probably stole one or more little black books from various world leaders. It is known she seeks to bring a stop to Steppenwolf, but no one really sure about the history between them; theories consider she may be a former lover or daughter, or possibly an insurance adjuster out to deal with the property damage he has caused. Those who know of Edgar suspect she may be a weapon of his gone awry, or a clerk at the post office he worked at, long ago. She may or may not know the truth of the fate of Luigi's parents (she doesn't, stop asking).
Despite being a pacifist and having never canonically been in a fight, Hendrix is a top tier asskicker. Having wings, Hendrix can fly. This seems hella broken, and it is! To compensate for this she has no overdrives, so a Hendrix player will be excepted to engage in a great deal of quarter circle spamming. This is fine, as she also has a projectile for pretty much every day of the month. Her sword, Roger, and her guitar, Zapp, are her primary weapons; the latter featuring in her Insta-Kill where she distracts the opponents with some hot licks, then runs away.
Hendrix theme is called Not Technically An Angel, which is based on a fusion of oldschool organ-heavy psychedelic and power metal.

Name: Elady Skychurch
Stage Name: The Rainbow Bridge
Character Theme: Midnight Crash
Instant Kill: Cry of Love
Elady is a fallen angel who wishes nothing more than to return to the heavens from which she was exiled. Armed with a replica of Uriel's sword, she will stop at nothing to find the earthly being with enough power to send her back to the sky, where she will strike down its ruler and take her place on the throne. She sees Edgar's battle tournament as a grand opportunity to hone her fighting skills and to, hopefully, find the man (or woman) who will help her achieve her revenge.
Her sword, the Fire of Eden, is a replica of the sword of Uriel, the angel said to guard the gates of the Garden of Eden. As a replica, it lacks the power of the original weapon and cannot be set ablaze like the flaming sword it copies. However, it is imbued with the element of fire, or a variant in the form of a heavenly flame, which allows her to perform fiery slash attacks and shoot flame projectiles.
Though pictured with a guitar, Elady does not summon it outside of her instant kill, Cry of Love. Its strings are the same used on the golden harps of the angels, and its sounds are said to be more beautiful than the voices of a siren chorus. Any mortal man will be driven insane by its notes, which can result in an automatic defeat.
Because of her status as a fallen angel, her flight capabilities have waned. Of her four wings, only two actually work anymore, giving her extremely limited flight. Rather than attempt to compensate, Elady has uses what's left of their power by the ability to jump three times in succession.
Her name refers to the Jimi Hendrix album "Electric Ladyland" and his temporary band "The Electric Skychurch."
Her stage refers to the Hendrix album "Rainbow Bridge." It is a stone bridge adorned with crosses and holy symbols. It acts as a link between the heavens and the earth, and those of impure souls cannot walk upon it.
Her theme refers to Hendrix's two albums "Crash Landing" and "Midnight Lightning." The style of the music is inspired by Dynasty Warriors 6's Battle of Chi Bi BGM with a more symphonic metal tone that uses violins.
Her IK refers to the Hendrix album "The Cry of Love."
Hello Purvis:
Recolors are for Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter, jerkship.

Alright, let's plunge into this with wild abandon then, as carefully planning it out doesn't seem to be working!
Billy J. Moonwalker
A highly charismatic scamster (a "smooth criminal", if you will) who wanders from town to town, relieving gullible folks of their fortunes, not stopping 'til she gets enough (how much "enough" is varies at times), at which point she beats it for the next town, often with an angry mob of those she scammed chasing her. It's not sure where exactly she originally came from, but her heavy dislike for Bekku might offer some clues... Or maybe that's just her general loathing for authority of any kind.
Unlike most of the other characters, Billy J cares little for what's at stake, and lacks any kind of personal reason for fighting. She's just hoping she can maybe make a quick buck when all's said and done. Billy J is reluctant to answer whenever asked why exactly she needs so much money, but if pushed she'll admit that it's to fund her lifelong dream: to buy her own amusement park. In the end she's really a kid at heart, which probably explains her soft spot for children and reluctance to scam them. Not to say she won't scam them if there's no-one else to scam, but she's more likely to feel bad about doing so afterwards.
Billy J has a very strange fighting style that incorporates dance moves into more traditional martial arts. As such, she's that one character that would be almost unbeatable if anyone would take the effort to figure out to use her properly but just seems like too much work to master and so is generally placed at the bottom of tier lists because no-one wants to try and learn how to play her right. Most players just jump to the conclusion that she's bad. Really, really bad. However, her Instant Kill, Blood On The Dancefloor, is one of the easiest to pull off, but no-one would try to win with such cheap tactics, right?
Her theme, Thrill Rider, is a dark yet bouncy piece of electropop that incorporates a monologue by Christopher Lee halfway through it's run.
(Oh god oh god I suck at this gaaah. >.<)
