Character Descriptions Combat Kits and Art #3: Vana Steve and Vidas


Vana Soroka

Fast:

5'7 (170cm), darker skin, chestnut hair and eyes. She is quite curvy and usually has a twinkle in her eye and a joke on her lips.

Not so fast:

Vana is a pretty woman who looks to be in her late 30s to early 40s, though is older from having Tiered up pretty early in life. She is quite curvy and likes to wear things to show off her cleavage to mess with her guests, who are just as often women as men. Anyone who tries to make a move is tossed out and she has a three strikes policy she can easily enforce herself. Her attire ranges from evening gowns to something like a serving girl at Oktoberfest to dance team member at a sporting event. Most of the time she does a braid with her hair down the back but it can range to more complicated up-dos.

Vana's combat build:

Vana was an accomplished delver, with a long single-handed thin blade and parrying dagger. She did some solo delving for those rifts she countered well as she had enough reach to be able to strike with her sword, which was designed for thrusting and a bit of slashing as well. The dagger was for anything stupid enough to come close to the buxom woman. She wore mostly studded leather to move quickly and fought on the front lines when she was on a team.

She has six skills: [Venomous Strike of the Cruel], a potent but slightly slow-acting poison skill that focuses on maximum pain rather than debilitating in other ways. Second is [Thrusters Thrust], a movement skill that allows for an incredibly quick dash to thrust with; if you use a non-thrusting weapon, the skill will not activate. Third would be [Restricting Vines]; it is popular for a reason! Her fourth is [Parry], a very simple skill with an extremely low mana cost that lets someone strengthen their parry. [Fortifying Brew] is a skill that enhances the effect of buffing potions at the expense of greater toxicity over time; it is known to cripple delvers that don't use potions wisely. Finally, she has [Tough Enough], which allows her to take far harder hits.

Image #1: I think all of them really narrowed in on one single picture I uploaded of five but this is a bit how I imagined her. Maybe a bit wider of a face. She looks exactly like some actress that I can't place to me.

Image #2: Midjourney actually did a pretty good job of giving her a braid that is done up.

Image #3: I think this is the one that most resonates with me. Bit of a shit-eating grin.

Prompt:

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

Please generate a curvy woman with her hair up in a complicated pattern. She should be in her late 30s to mid 40s. She should have chestnut hair and eyes and have a beaming smile. She should be wearing something like an Oktoberfest outfit. Use a blurred background.

Steve Carver

Fast

Currently about 1'10 (56cm), Steve has bulbous brown eyes and gray and white patterning. He is usually chittering away and playing with his stick and ball or eating/trying to eat.

Combat build:

He's got a stick. And a ball. WATCH OUT!

Image #1: Pretty cute though I think he probably looks a little more hard than this. He is a tough little monster after all.

Image #2: Grogu-ass (baby Yoda-ass) vibes on this one for me 😅

Image #3: Similar but also looking innocent

Image #4: Commissioned art for an ad I never ended up running; it's a clip of it because it has a mild spoiler

Prompt:

Please make an anthropomorphized sugar glider that has gray and white patterning across his face. He should be in a cute onesie that says 'boxer' on it.

Vidas Lysenko

From the text:

Vidas Lysenko was a 6'5 (196cm) gruff drill instructor type, sporting close-cropped dark brown hair, one orange and one green eye, a lot of scars across his face and arms, and a miniature, bright green hat at a jaunty angle.

It was enchanted to protect his entire head but it still ruined the look a bit.

Fast:

6'5 (196cm) drill instructor type look with close-cropped black hair, one orange eye and one green eye. Very well built. Often wearing his miniature enchanted green hat.

Not so fast:

Vidas is a very tall and usually has a rather grumpy look on his face. He wears dark leathers even when not in rifts, choosing to openly show off his prodigious arms when in town to keep people from bothering him. He has a large scar on his face and numerable other scars as well. He has one green eye and one orange eye, which makes his gaze extra intense. His longsword has no adornments and his armor doesn't either. He let's his fighting do the talking rather than his outfit or mouth.

Combat build:

Vidas is built entirely around single one-on-one combat. He has been training with a longsword – though it might be considered a greatsword in someone else's hands given his height – since he was quite young. Every piece of his fighting style and kit are focused on being able to go toe-to-toe with the toughest opponents in his Tier. His longsword has a number of parrying and similar enchantments to allow him to better block heavy blows as he mostly relies on his own strength – and an armor-piercing enchantment – for his offensive capabilities.

He wears armor made of overlapping plates that still gives him some mobility. It is heavily enchanted again to be able to take a licking and keep on ticking. He has a few one-time-use enchantments, such as the one he used in the rift where Steve was blinded to prevent his arm from getting ripped off.

None of the images did differently colored eyes 🥲

Image #1: Scar is on the wrong side but the eyes are really cool and I think it got the brooding vibe right. I used a picture of Zac Effron for an example of the hair I wanted and I think it just ran with his face too. I think this is probably the closest picture to what I was thinking.

Image #2: I added a few more pictures to get the grumpier and tougher look. Eyes aren't right but I thought a really rectangular face was a good fit in my head.

Image #3: A good mix of #1 and #2 but I think for some reason it's the farthest from the mark 😅 Still pretty good tho.

Prompt (I didn't even try with the hat):

Large and well-built man with a scar under his right eye. He should have one green eye and one orange eye. He should be in his early 20s. His hair should be black and closely cropped. He should not have any facial hair but should have the scar under his eye. He should be looking directly outwards and look slightly angry or grumpy.
