"Just like the box/booklet"
Wow the first post I'm making and I've had this account for how long?! Welp, good of a time as any. I recently made this bundle of joy and I'm quite proud of how they turned out. For context, this was originally a grim reaper OC that I played in character.ai. (Very cringe I am aware)
They were originally a really boring run of the mill grim reaper that wasn't any different from the original. I really wanted them to stand out from other grim reapers I've seen and honestly it ended up better than I expected, so here they are:
Tenshi Nevermore
Age: Unknown
Species: Reaper
Gender: N/A and doesn't care what pronouns are used to refer to them
Sexuality: Aro/Ace
Height: 8'0"
Backstory
Reapers are soulless beings that do not have any emotions and are naturally apathetic creatures. They exist in a realm completely devoid of life. It's a barren, dull, desolate wasteland with the only surroundings being random huts built by the Reapers out of sheer boredom. Many Reapers have died out as a result of their eternal boredom, so very few remain in this realm. Getting sick of letting the boredom overtake them, Tenshi left the realm in search of a purpose for existing, picking up bounty hunting as a way to hunt for souls, the only thing they are able to eat. They wound up in Hell after taking a bounty to kill a seemingly harmless demon named Azamuku, but failed to do so due to the demon matching them in strength. They gained their own way of respect for the demon, spared her, and overtime the two gained a one-sided friendship with Azamuku being the one wanting friendship and Tenshi only keeping her alive to have an occasional rematch from time to time.
Description
Completely skeletal with no organs or skin. Their skull is like a raven's with a torso similar to a human's but the fingers have very sharp ends akin to claws and the legs and feet are talons with black claws. On their back they have black feathered raven wings that span 9 feet which allows them to fly. Tenshi does have blood-red pupils but they only appear when they sense they are in danger or when trying to be intimidating. Their eye sockets are usually empty otherwise. Their attire consists of a black cloak with a hood fashioned with pockets on the inside for storage and black skinny jeans tailored to fit their proportions. All of Tenshi's clothing were made by Azamuku much to Tenshi's protest against it. Their voice is deep, but feminine sounding which is unusual compared to others of their species who have raspy bass voices.
Personality
Nonchalant and non-caring. Due to them being a Reaper, they were born without a soul, rendering them incapable of feeling any emotions so they come across as cold and apathetic. They are also impatient and can be annoyed very easily if prompted. They speak in a soft and monotonous manner when relaxed, but speak with a menacing and sadistic tone when on a job or threatened. Coming from a realm devoid of any life and a bleak colorless atmosphere, they also have an undying boredom that is nearly impossible to satiate. The only times it is temporarily relieved is if they successfully complete a bounty or fight a strong opponent that nearly kills them but it only lasts for a few minutes before coming back. They have a quirk when speaking where instead of saying "god" they instead say words synonymous to nothingness, such as "null".
Likes
Souls
Quiet areas
Combat (takes bounties often for this reason alone)
Melee weapons
Dislikes
Killing things (due to the mess, they'd prefer to just rip the targets' souls out and leave them as husks, but will not hesitate in completely killing them if their job requires it)
Loud constant noise
Boredom
Targets talking to them while fighting
The other members of their race due to their idleness
Guns, Bows, any weapon that is ranged
Weapons
A scythe with the snath being made out of a reinforced, durable dragon spine that has grips wrapped in black leather to make fighting with it easier. The blade is made of a sharpened dragon tooth
Very sharp dual wield daggers carved out of femurs
Strengths
Remarkably clever and observant when in a fight, finding their targets' weaknesses quickly and able to capitalize on them efficiently
When disarmed, they are alarmingly strong despite being skeletal and they are able to maneuver in an agile manner due to their light weight
Creative, and learns crafts rather quickly. Their forging skills are impressive, considering their weapons are made of bone and do not break easily
Weaknesses
Due to their anatomy having avian features, their bones are hollow much like actual birds so they take damage much more severely
Them being quick to annoy also can hinder them in combat, often resulting in them lashing out without thinking and becoming predictable
Tends to underestimate opponents a lot and pays gravely for their error
Very stubborn and will not retreat unless absolutely necessary, which has almost killed them numerous times
You'll need to know this for the test
Tenshi is the shortest of their race. The average height of a Reaper is 12 feet.
Reapers do not care about identity, so none of them have names. Tenshi only has one because Azamuku started calling them "Tenshi" one day and they just got used to it. Their last name they picked for themselves after hearing Azamuku recite an Edgar Allen Poe poem
Tenshi's screams of rage sound like a distorted mix of a Falcon call and several blood curdling screams screaming in unison
Tenshi can die, but eating souls actually adds to their lifespan, making them artificially immortal. If they do not eat souls within the span of 5 years, they will die
When Reapers die, their body disintegrates, leaving nothing behind. They are unable to be resurrected due to lacking a soul
Whenever Tenshi sustains damage, they are able to heal by eating souls, how many they need to eat depends on how severe the damage is
Tenshi can physically feel, such as touch or pain.
When they kill a target/opponent, they usually take a random bone from the body, either as proof the target is 100% dead (they usually just present their soul though) or as a keepsake if they deemed them worthy to remember.
Tenshi has a hidden fascination in weaponcraft and whenever they encounter a new type of weapon, they start studying it immediately. If they like using it enough, they will design one of their own using the bones they have collected
Tenshi can only play most video games for a couple minutes before immediately getting frustrated and/or bored, but they are able to play for longer if the games are specifically Minecraft or Toribash, where they will go for days playing them nonstop.
In Minecraft, Tenshi has a habit of making dirt shacks and completely forgetting where they built them when they go too far from them, so they build a new one and the cycle repeats until the world is littered with abandoned dirt shacks 30 chunks apart from each other...and they will still forget where their numerous dirtshacks are and keep building new ones.
Tenshi is 5th Dan in Toribash and finds enjoyment playing Aikido Big Dojo and Lenshu
If Tenshi played Smash Bros Ultimate they would main Greninja (They would find enjoyment for a few minutes, but never play again since they prefer "realistic" fighting over cartoon violence)
If Tenshi played Mario Kart 8 they would main Dry Bowser and Bone Rattler (They find racing games really boring)
If Tenshi played Splatoon, they would primarily use Splatana Stamper and Splat Dualies (They lack the necessary patience to play shooter games)
If Tenshi played any Pokemon game, they would use only Ghost and Dark types (They think RPGs are tedious and frustrating, especially those with exp systems)
I did it. My angy murder death bird has been drawn by my hand. Now they can hunt for souls in style.
For context, this is my "grim reaper" OC, Tenshi Nevermore, who has a whole character bio you can read on my page if you're interested. (It's a lengthy read tho bc ADHD be damned) Low-key kinda proud of how this came out.
Just gonna say this now, if you got an OC that's just text and you really want them to be visualized, DRAW THEM. It doesn't matter if your drawing skills aren't the best or if you need to use piccrew, DO IT. It's so satisfying to see them "come to life" and be more than just words.
Yeah please do, I would like a new game to look forward to on the switch. I am very happy that the artist life was added (obvious reasons) but with how you're describing their advertising...oof that is rough. Really hoping this game doesn't suffer from the EarthBound effect where that game flopped in the U.S. because of its marketing campaign, which would be a shame bc from what little I played on the 3DS, it is super charming and cute.
Fantasy Life (3DS) bangs, so when i saw that it was getting a Switch sequel, i was very happy.
Like happier than if a Tomodachi Life 2 was announced and Gay "Miitosis" babies were real. (I am normal and ordinary.)
So a friend and i have been following along with updates pretty closely, and when she sent me a link to the worst – and let me make this clear, the WORST – presentation from Level 5, i watched it and started giving timestamps of when things we haven't seen were shown...
To the Japanese viewers (no English subs, my friend sent a youtuber reacting who could normally translate) this was promised to be "A big show about 40 minutes long that would talk about new updates like a new Life (aka class)!". I was definitely interested, this series is one of my Autistic special interests, as well as a favorite childhood game, so i watched.
It ended up actually being 50 minutes of two comedians rambling while a lead developer showed screenshots that most of the people interested in the game would have already seen via their website, or their most recent trailer.
The youtuber (Shoutouts!) who seems to know enough Japanese to get by, was pretty much groaning and uncomfortable the entire time and was struggling to say much besides "they're rambling", "they're just talking about..." and "i don't know what's really going on", while reading the Japanese comments in chat (which he was saying they were losing interest as well 😬).
To save any fellow Fantasy Life fans the trouble, i will compile the new information we did get, along with linking the previous English trailers and the English website!
Keep in mind, i did not played Fantasy Life Online, so this will be new information from a 3DS-only player's perspective.
(Feel free to ignore and just watch for the trailers, but i did break down the new information in those two!)
Teaser shown in the Feb. 8th, 2023 Nintendo Direct:
A pretty standard, as expected, basic trailer one would expect from a game like Fantasy Life in this day's culture. Besides some super minor plot details – story takes place 1,000 years in the past, they're trying to restore the future – there's nothing new or interesting here for anyone who's played the 3DS game, BESIDES a new game. 2023 release date.
Level5's version of the Teaser:
A different version of the trailer that reveals an Animal Crossing: New Horizons-style island terraforming mode. (An easier/faster looking method shown in the Sep. 23rd presentation)
First Trailer:
Mostly just an extended version of the teaser to make it feel like a more marketable trailer. Some interesting new details are that:
There are WAY less hairstyles and colors... So i HOPE there will be more unlocked throughout, instead of just being available at startup? (Or maybe i'm missing something?)
Items on the ground are auto-collected upon walking over them
New Paladin Master, likely new Masters for other Lives (Lifes??) too
Two mystery Lives revealed in the selection of ones we've seen before (as of September 23, we know which Lives they are)
Town Builder Mode? (Gameplay shown of a different feature or updated version shown in the Sep. 23rd presentation)
Four character parties now, as opposed to the 3DS' three
Combat dodge roll
Combat UI Shown
Damage indicators look bigger and more defined
Combat button prompts
(Button prompts: L to Lock-on, R to Sheath weapons, X to Use shield, A to Attack, Y (Upper left of screen) to Use pouch item, X+A for SP using attacks (i assume like the X attacks when shield is unequipped/the attacks when using the other weapon-types?)
The website:
The website has actually been pretty useful as for getting new information with stuff that might be being teased as well!
The avatars they use as defaults seem to be wearing a sailor outfit and a safari/explorer outfit in multiple screenshots. (Personal belief is that they're for a story-driven Life that hasn't been revealed yet. More on that below!)
Avatar creator screenshot that reveals a lot less eye options, looks like hair isn't the only choice being gutted, probably every option is
New Farmer Life! It has a Hoe icon! It's a gathering one!
"Battle" Lives are categorized in Blue, "Gather" are Green, and "Create" are Pink
The other mystery Life is after all the pink, Create Lives, so spoilers, it's one of those!
...Aaaand the website was updated! So even though the section showing the full choice of Lives has one grayed out with a question mark... The next section has right there in the Create section with a big, red "New!" symbol! Wow! It's the Artist! With a Paintbrush icon! I am so excited to make more furniture, instead of having new ways to fight/make myself stronger! 🥲 (If we can't at least use this to create weapon charms or armor decorations or something...)
A section with one screenshot for House customization, Town Planning Mode, and Island Restoration, respectively.
A section teasing how to unlock new NPCs in your town/game
A section with scrolling screenshots that show the Sailor and Safari outfits multiple times
Here are the list of Lives we know are in because of the website!
And the full Sep. 23, 2023 JP-only presentation, if you wish (please read below!):
Here's the original stream, it is entirely in Japanese, with no English subs. I do not speak Japanese so i watched a Youtuber who knows a lot more than i do reacting to it, the link to that is below.
Shoutout to King Goose!
This presentation sucks. So i will give timestamps to the interesting parts!
PLEASE READ: All timestamps provided are from the Ming Goose reaction video, i do NOT have timestamps for the original stream. The timestamps are [Minutes:Seconds] FYI.
At 27:30: They show some gameplay of a new town editor that seems to have all or most of the Island Restoration (The terraforming feature) built in as well
At 28:45: They show the town center being restored from some ruins we've seen in previous trailers
At 33:00: There's a screenshot of new plushling characters (and King Goose talks about Real Plushling Plush Toys being shown on a couch or couches! Fantasy Life merch real??)
At 34:20: They announce they will be playing the game.
At 35:40: They actually start showing gameplay of the cooking minigame (keep in mind the times look close together, and you may watch through, but it is actually unbelievably painful with how much time is being and has previously been wasted to this point)
At 37:45: Goose starts explaining that the gameplay is just the Japanese Event demo, and that there will be another presentation the next day. Gameplay showing the characters walking around the hub world available in the demo happens around 37:40
At 39:00: A combat tutorial appears, followed by a combat demonstration at 39:35
At 43:10: A fishing tutorial appears, followed by fishing gameplay at 43:55
At 50:50: The New Life is finally revealed as Artist. (King Goose heard Designer however, but that may just be the Japanese name for it!)
At 55:00: The original Japanese stream ends.
Throughout the stream they announce there will be another stream tomorrow (time listed on the website)
I will probably add a new section for the presentation happening tomorrow if people want it, so reblog, save, whatever and let me know if you're interested in seeing that.
My Sailor/Explorer is a Life theory: (Feel free to skip!)
In reference to Lives and the Sailor and Safari Explorer outfits, my theory: (because the presentation section had very little to actually show, considering the attention it demands).
There have been a LOT of screenshots of the avatars in the starting, leather outfit, them in the Safari Explorer outfit, and them in the Sailor outfit. I don't know if that's just all we'll have at the beginning, or if the latter two will be part of a story-driven Life.
The reason i'm leaning on Life, especially for the Sailor fit, is because of a screenshot that i saw in the 3 minute trailer that shows multiple Lives, with their icons, Life Names, and Life Titles/Ranks, where the Sailor is shown, but is the only one that doesn't have a unique icon or name (the ranks are all very likely just "Novice or Fledgling").
I'm wondering if that's because it is a placeholder, because Level5 is terrified of giving us information or something...
Probably cringe but i marked the Life icons/names of the second screenshot to show what i'm rambling about. Red are the Lives that have a unique name and icon, Green are the Paladin (Top Middle), and the "Sailor/Explorer" (Bottom Middle) name and icon, and Blue might be the Life Ranks? They may also be the characters above next to the smaller icon, and maybe what i highlighted is actually the character's name?
Regardless, it is strange how often these outfits are shown, including in cutscenes and promotional material/art...
(Image ID: A screenshot of the final section on the website, showing a screenshot of an avatar with the Safari outfit, running from some enemies above some text, and another screenshot of the same avatar in a cutscene looking up from the ground, shocked below the text. Text below it says "Why not start a new Life?" End ID)
Of course this also could just be this "default" player avatar's signature outfit... That seems to be a common trope happening lately with gaming companies.
Regardless, Level5 do better!
