April's Character Forms Contest

[Ellie who has 0%]

Art by Firestar, you can hunt her down on DA and the TLK fan art archive

Alright it's time for contest fun, and with the seasons changing from icky winter to a luscious spring, it's time to put a spin on and change your characters. This is the character FORMS contest.

The goal: create a design for your character using a KH/FF/Disney world as a base.

Now, the prize for the best winning design is obtaining your design as a 'dressphere,' like those in FF X-2. This item allows your character to morph into its form (think drive forms or antiforms) whenever they use the sphere.To make this prize unique, you may want to design a form your character cannot alter into already.

* Try to keep your form design primarily human underneath. Animal-like designs are permitted so long as this rule applies (tails, ect. are acceptable within reason.) You can create your design in your character's Atlantica/Pridelands form, but if you do be sure to have the clothing-oriented counterpart for when they are outside of the world. (It would be odd to have mermaids flopping all over Twilight Town.)

Fill out the form below to state what the dressphere can do and specialty. If you are unsure what abilities the dressphere can have, try to relate it to a pre-existing dressphere for inspiration. The contest is judged on creativity!

ie.
Pridelands --> Beserkers
Atlantica--> Songstress
(They practically had us singing throughout KH2 SWIM THIS WAY!!)
Port Royal --> Thief
Land of the Dragons --> Samurai

See more dresspheres here.

*You can only submit UP TO THREE DESIGNS! Yes you can doodle more than one character for one design, but only 3 designs total. You have until April 24th to submit your designs.

[Larxene]

For a second I thought this was a World form contest (i.e. - Larxene being a viper in Pride Lands), but I really, really, really like this idea of dresspheres.

Now that I have time time, you can be sure to count me in.

Now, only one question remains: who will play Barbie for me? >3

YAAAY CADEY!

[Kuri, Queen of Feels]

Darnet you ellie, I was so ready to be an over acheiver had be all like hey instead of doing one world form HERES ALL OF THEM >
but nnnuuuuuuuuuuu hasa do a dressphere nnnooww <.<

I have really really likeing the dressphere prizey though exept that i'm not exactly sure what to do for Kuri. Cause when I made her WD version i was playing FFX-2 so she kinda already as dressphere skills, just no outfit changes XD ( theif gunner white mage lol, although kuri sucks at usein a gun so i kinda dropped it.)
*goes to look up other ones*

I most definantly will be doing more then of of these though.... cause simple character outfit design take me around 4 hours, and im on spring break lol

EDIT: LADY LUCK lolololol *puts on the list*

[Zephiris]

It was brought up, so I thought I'd share my answer with everyone:

You do not have to draw the characters themselves to enter if you don't wish. It's a clothing design contest, so if you simply draw the clothes that should be acceptable.

If you have some part of your character's body altered, however, you should draw that out as well.

And if the whole body is altered, then, well. . . draw out the whole body. ;]

[Jason Arilani]

Im a bit confused... I would love to enter the contest, but I'm not sure I understand how this works, so would someone be able to explain to the confused Jason how this Contest is supposed to go? Man... I wish I had played FF X-2 awhile back, but I couldn't even beat FF X.

[Ellie who has 0%]

You don't need to play X-2 to understand this; I never did, and I don't intend to.

1.) You are going to make a dressphere for your character which can be KH/FF world and Final Fantasy X-2 dressphere inspired. For example you can do a design based off of Port Royal and Wonderland (kh worlds) or Lady Luck (a FF X-2 dressphere)

2.) A dressphere is basically special clothes with powers similar to Sora's attire in KH2 which enabled his drives.

3.) With the winning design being a dressphere, you must come up with it's design AND it's function.

o3o any confusion?

[jorgewaggoner]

XD *picture lakuri attacking people with mechanical pencils*

[Deleted]

I have half an idea for Yuffie, and drew it, but I'll have to upload it later.

EDIT: I've switched my character to Maya, and have a few ideas I'd like some feedback on. Tell me what you think!

A Mascot costume that is a Chocobo (Thanks to Ellie for the idea.)
A Berserker that is based off of tigers (representing the Pride Lands.)
A Gun Mage based off of Space Paranoids.

[Deleted]

Alright, I finished two of them and am ready to submit! *does the happy dance*

Dressphere Name: Gun Mage, Tech Form
Inspiration: I was inspired by the design of Space Paranoids and of the Gun Mage Dressphere from FFX-2. The Gun Mage is a personal favorite because I'm a Blue Mage whore in Final Fantasy games. :3
Image: Gun Mage
Description: Since the dressphere is influenced by Space Paranoids, it has a futuristic look to it. Maya wears an eyepiece with a microphone. She wears metal torso armor criss-crossed with blue pulsing lines of light. Each hand has a gauntlet that manipulates lightning energy. She wears a pair of short shorts, and very high boots . Both of these also pulsate with blue light. She holds a futuristic Gun Mage gun that unlocks her Blue Mage Powers.
Abilities:

• Electricity: By using her gauntlets, Maya can create Thunder level spells and inflict touch-shock spells. With the right buffs, she can use higher level spells, but only for a limited time.
  
• Libra Goggles: Maya's eyepiece automatically activates Libra, showing her the enemy's weaknesses and health. It is all displayed in text on her goggles, but not to where they obstruct her sight.
  
• Targeting: Maya's goggles can lock on to an enemy, and will guide Maya's spell at the desired target as long as they remain within range.
  
• Blue Magic: Maya can take one magic attack used against her and replicate it with her gun, but only thee times a thread. There are some spells that she can memorize, such as 1000 Needles and Aero. When one of these is used by Maya, the Japanese kanji will appear on the rings of the gun for the spell, marking that it has been learned. Chance of learning a spell: 50%
  

Dressphere Name: Leopard Berserker
Inspiration: I was inspired by the Berserker dressphere from FFX-2 and of leapords, which made me think of the Pride Lands. Most of the abilities in this form are animal-based or based off the world. ((Yes, I know Maya's part rabbit, but I couldn't resist making her a kitty. :3))
Image: Berserker
Description: In this form, Maya's body is covered in tribal-like tattoos that add to her warrior-like appearence. She wears a short top piece around her torso that shows her whole stomach and some of her hips. A dress that is cut to her left covers her lower body, and a pair of short shorts is under that, to prevent exposure of any indecent body parts. On her head is a head piece that has two cat-like ears poking out and two holes for her large ears. She wears gloves and boots that are both clawed and are designed to look like a leapord's paws. The claws are very sharp and are her main meele weapon. All of her clothing is covered in leopard spots and is colored an orange color.
Abilities:

• Ferality: Every once in a while, Maya will "berserk" and lose control of her actions. She will instead rely on survival instinct to determine her attacks and magic skills used.
  
• Wild Swipe: Maya rushes at an enemy, striking them with her claws multiple times in succession.
  
• Shatterpunch: Maya punches at an enemy, breaking any protective spells they have cast.
  
• Growl: Maya lets out an intimadating growl, inflicting Fear on one enemy.
  
• Nature's Roar: Maya's Speed and Attack are increased 1.5x
  
• Pain: Inflicts damage based on the enemy's health. The higher their HP, the stronger the attack.

[Ellie who has 0%]

Dressphere Name: Maiden of Heart
Inspiration: Lady Luck, Wonderland
Maiden of Heart
Weaponry: Cards of Hearts

Kairi have 15 cards total of the Cards of Hearts. The cards have their own rule when using for battle. She can only use the card once, and after usage it reports to the bottom of her deck. When finished using all 15, it magically reshuffles for usage.

The Cards takes on a different aspect than the typical playing cards. It associates with their representations of the tarot minor arcana; by that the cards represent a patron associated with Kairi as well as having two different effects depending on its position, upright or upside down. Her deck is incomplete and only have 5 inked. The other cards are blank and can only conduct sharp melee attacks.

The abilities on the inked cards root from the represent patron. Kairi can only conduct them in this dressphere with the cards unless she learns the one she can learn on her own. For example, being a Princess of Heart, she can never tap into darkness.

Abilities::

Ace of Hearts<3
Unlike the rest of the deck, the Ace of Hearts is a wildcar as it shifts when Kairi finds a different focus, which can never be someone or anything that's already in her deck. Ace of Hearts equates to new beginning, rebirth, and a new spark or flame.

Patron: Reno

Despite them getting on the wrong foot, Kiari finds a liking to Reno. Perhaps mainly because he was nothing like she assumed. With that, she finds him respectable, and the fact he's a foreigner only enheightens her curiosity of who he is.

Upright: Thundaga
Upside Down: Pyramid

Two of Hearts<3
Patron: Sora

Sharing an unusal bound of being linked together by one another's heart, the pair, Sora and Kairi, shows a duality of being able to function and coexist as one unit. Unfortunately with Namine not being created traditionally, she isn't closely aligned with her originator making Sora the closest persona to Kairi.

Upright: Ragnorak
Upside Down: Reflectga

Four of Hearts<3
Patron: Riku

The Four of Cups is the card of finding one’s inward truth, which aligns with Riku for looking into him to deal with his own darkness. Kairi can never understand what he had been through, but respect what he does with her full trust in him. His striving nature is an element she marvels bestowing the honor of being Four of Hearts.

Upright: Dark Firaga
Upside Down: Dark Shield

Five of Hearts<3
Patron: Rook

The figure in this card to Kairi is unknown because a black robe shields his identity from her, but she does know him or else he wouldn’t be on her cards. It irks her to no end that she can’t think of who it is, and it BETTER NOT BE AXEL! Still there was something about this card; it had a sense of isolation and dejection.

Upright: Dark
Upside Down: Gaurd Light

Seven of Hearts<3
Patron: Namine

Seven of Hearts is a dreamer who can see the good, the bad, and the ugly, while still having the imagination and hope to push foward. Being locked up in Castle Oblivion, Namine had hoped to be something to someone to fill the gap of loneliness; although her route was destructive, she still fulfilled it and genuinely met friends. Even now she doesn't sit to collect dust and simply be nothing, but be something by acting.

Upright: Zanketsun
Upside Down: Confuse ~ Illusions

Signature Moves::
Below are Signature Moves Kairi can conduct with her cards especially with the blank 10 cards.

52 Pick-up: Kairi can throw her cards, which cuts into her opponents in a furry 52 times as if it's a genuine playing card deck. Once they regather, it shuffled by default.

Trump: Trump is using 3 cards at the same time sending a chain of attacks.

Shuffle: For a post, Kairi will have to shuffle her cards.

Dont be mad Ellie, but the madie of heart reminds me of........>.><.< a hooker...no offense, most final fantasy female outfits do...look at Terra from VI, hey, wait a sec -does side by side comparison- ok it was just my mind playing tricks on me....
