Hikaru

Because of personal matters with a fellow RPer of which I do not condone, I'm gone. While it doesn't affect RPing as a whole, my characters are wrapped up with theirs, so sticking around would have little point as I'd have like only a few characters left to RP with as a whole.

While I am leaving the RP, this does not affect my standing with the story and founding of, itself. My characters are still MY characters and will not be signed over. As such, I still intend to work on the anime, as that project was more between K2 and I more than anyone else anyway. Others work was involved, but the idea for the anime and creation of it actually becoming a thing never required the person of which I refuse to rp with until the anime actually gets to that point in story, which can then be addressed and mediated through K2 whenever.

So my involvement in the story is still very much intact. Just not the rp side of things any more.

Hikaru — Today at 6:35 AM
Cloaks.
[6:35 AM]
Plenty of capes, but no cloaks.

Epiony — Today at 6:35 AM
sua is the right tutorial

Hikaru — Today at 6:35 AM
And before you say it, they aren't the same

suarva — Today at 6:38 AM
Ah a cloak

Hikaru — Today at 6:38 AM
Even tutorials that say cloak, I watch them and it's like 'dude that's a cape'
[6:39 AM]
If it just hangs off the back and only flows from the back, it's a cape. But how does one get the type that wrap around the front and can push to the back or not?

Epiony — Today at 6:39 AM
:0

suarva — Today at 6:39 AM
Well ehm
[6:39 AM]
You can start with a cylinder

Epiony — Today at 6:39 AM

suarva — Today at 6:40 AM

Epiony — Today at 6:40 AM

._.

Hikaru — Today at 6:40 AM
Commission you to commission someone else?(edited)

Epiony — Today at 6:40 AM
xD im jk
[6:40 AM]
tho i have an idea of trying to make a cloak :0 wanna take ur chances with me?

suarva — Today at 6:40 AM
But basically I would use a cylinder to first wrap around the character
[6:40 AM]
Fit the top to the body
[6:41 AM]
Extrude out a hoodie and if needed fold it back to sit on the neck

Epiony — Today at 6:41 AM
sua makes it sound so easy qwq

Hikaru — Today at 6:41 AM
I'm trying to learn it myself. Like the modeling isn't hard, but rigging it,  it's how to make it move off and on the body, and not just hang there flowy like a wannabe super hero.
 

Epiony — Today at 6:42 AM
eh make it parallel to the character body
[6:42 AM]
then add bones
[6:42 AM]
it should naturally look flowy..

suarva — Today at 6:42 AM
Got a ref? For what you think it should look like?

Hikaru — Today at 6:42 AM
Like.. Lord of the Rings style

Angel — Today at 6:42 AM
(and colliders to the upper back)(edited)
[6:43 AM]
(don't actually listen to me listen to sua always)

Epiony — Today at 6:43 AM
dont listen to sua :0 listen to epi
[6:43 AM]

Hikaru — Today at 6:43 AM
But cloaks are a staple to any medieval character.
[6:43 AM]
Convince me otherwise.

Epiony — Today at 6:43 AM
; . ;
[6:44 AM]
hmhmhm
[6:44 AM]
capes or cloaks not necessarily cloaks- but yessir qwq

Angel — Today at 6:44 AM
i think that depends on the more specific archetype but they're common in the genre id agree

Epiony — Today at 6:44 AM
maybe u took it off for a minute
[6:44 AM]
xD hikaru gonna block me-

Yet another character maker thread. (Since we already have Rinmaru, Picrew, Gacha, although Rinmaru is now gone/shutdown.)

 

More places you can design your character, this time using deepfake AIs! While there is an anime version, this works better if you go realistic style.

 

So far I've only been able to make Crea because 'real' humans have a hard time spiking their hair right and I haven't tried others.

But I love the results, even if she looks kinda 'young'. Hard to get that gentleness in the face I wanted with the older faces.

 

Basically to use it https://www.artbreeder.com/ you either look up or upload a photo to use as the base, something close. Like for Crea I looked through the blonde gentle looking women, selected that as a base, messed with the settings to customize it (sliders such as age, light/dark, etc). Then I once happy with that, looked up pink hair, selected the one in the style I wanted, messed with settings to mesh the two photos together, looked up a few other things I can't remember and then just had the AI mesh all the photos together till it got to something I liked.

 

 

And realistic Crea:

 

 

You CAN upload your own photos as bases. But I don't suggest that. ...That didn't turn out well.

But a new way to make our characters.

 

This shows all the different photo bases, and steps that were meshed together to get to Crea:

The shrine of Eli, the one remainder that lain in North from the time that Hikari had very temporarily ruled in Lord Eli's absence. With the death of Eli she had taken up the rule if only to preserve her saviors land in the way he had left it. Hoping to to honor Eli by doing so. As it turned out, she needn't worry as Eli had made his miraculous return and so this shrine, it's giant, like really giant statue of a much more handsome Eli than he really was, towering above in the center of the city of North. Despite his return, to her delight, Eli had left the statue and so Hikari had made it a part of her daily tradition to visit, clean, and sometimes when no one was around kiss the statue.

 

Today was no different.

 

"Oh Fido, isn't he so lovely? Our Lord Eli?" She floated in the air, wings outstretched and levitating Fido near her as she stared dreamily into eyes of the Eli statue. "Of course, the real Eli is soo much nicer. But he..." She stopped as Fido whined which she took as an answer and shook her head.

 

"No no! I mustn't think like that and neither should you Fido! Lord Eli did not send us into danger on purpose. He just... he was mistaken, that's all! Even L-lord Eli must make mistakes sometimes, right? He's not Perfect."

 

Fido merely whined more, the dog tilting its head to the side as if in confusion.

 

"Alright! Let's finish cleaning the statue and then we can go pick more flowers for Lord Eli, make more cake for Lord Eli, and then if we have time, we can pick up where we left off learning to sew for Lord Eli from yesterday! I'm sure with my Lord could use another blanket, or maybe a swea--"

 

"ARF!"

 

"You're right! Statue first!" Hikari looked back to the statue, staring into its eyes once more before she kissed it on the nose, and then snapped her fingers a shower of rain and soap falling from an appearing portal which was then followed by wind.

 

"All clean! Now let's go pick fl---" Hikari was cut short as she nearly fell out of the air, her hand to her head as she suffered what she could only assume was vertigo. She landed to the ground just to be safe.

 

"ARF! ARF!" Fido barked as Hikari landed, clearly picking up on the fact that something was wrong.

 

"It's okay boy, don't worry! I just got a little dizzy is all, it was weird though, for a moment I felt my m---" She paused once more as she had to grab Fido to keep from falling, the dog whining in response. "Okay maybe not so well..." The girl continued to grab onto Fido for support as she fell to her knees. Flashes were now going through per mind, pieces of not her own memories, but what seemed her mothers memories. At first, the most recent, ones that showed where her mother was. But then others more later ones, as fast as they flashed in her mind, they disappeared, and more flashed through.

 

It was so many memories so fast that Hikari's mind became overloaded to the point she lost her balance and soon after that lost consciousness causing Fido to start howling in worry.

It had been hours since the kids Rev and Gen had taken their lessons from the earth files they had procured and even more hours on top of that since they had roped Freya into it as well as the three of them sat there in the control room of Lus watching more videos and coming up with ideas for new technologies, beings and other things.

 

Every now and then they would look up to see what Trashcam was up to, to see if he'd finished his tutorial yet; and even moreso to see if Bubbles (the Kaiju ARI named by Freya) had woken from his nap and tried to eat Cam yet. Not that they would have let it if it tried, but just that it was part of the experiment of Bubbles protecting them.

 

But now they were growing bored, and the responses from the messages they put out had not helped any. Earth had completely ignored them, which confused the kids as to how could something with such awesome stuff such as mechas, ninjas, and colored teams fighting monsters be so quick to ignore them? Earth seemed friendly in the videos they had watched, yet they still had no response. K Empire, SCOUTs origins had replied a bit, but had yet replied to their last, the same with Mars which the kids were still unsure as to what it contained, having been the one to really not answer a thing.

 

However, now they had actually gotten a response. The planet known as Violet had explained who they were (which it turns out they already knew them from before) and had said they'd send someone. Progress! And better yet, more friends!

 

"I hope he replies soooon." Rev whined as he watched the same floating screen that he had been watching for last half hour. "The more friends we can get bef---"

 

"IROKU'S HERE!" Gen had suddenly cut into what Rev had been saying, causing him to look up in surprise.

 

"WHAT REALLY?!"

 

"YEAH! He appeared just now!" She jumped down from her seat she had been sitting at on one of the bigger not-floating screens. The stool she was sitting on taller than the both of them. "He's near Trashcam. We should go meet him! Freya, you haven't met Iroku, right? He's one of our rolemodels! We met him him as one of our first he'd be uhhhh he'd be our daddy! I think..." She tried to explain by comparing Iroku to Hasseo still not quite clear on what a 'daddy was' just a rolemodel that took care of them and taught them.

 

"WAIT WAIT WAIT!! He can't come now!" Rev suddenly jumped up. "If the Mechera reply and send someone, especially if it's that Gregory guy, then it'd be bad. Remember the last time those two met? They did not get along."

 

"That's because Iroku wanted to save the planet without tech, and was already mad at Archon and the Archive Commander. This time they're not here, and the planet has been saved long ago. So they shouldn't fight... I hope.." Gen looked unsure of herself but only for a moment. "I'm sure it will be fine! We'll just explain to both. I'm letting him in!"

 

"Just don't let Trashcam in yet, he hasn't leveled up and Bubbles still needs a playmate!"

 

But before Rev had said the last statement, Gen had already pressed a button to open a portal near Iroku, and by proxy Cameron.
