ROUND ONE: Rimuri VS Olympea

[galactic-knightmare]

Lady Phosphor, what do you think of some of the other competitors in the tourney?

"Mini-Galaxia here! sorry about that, we're still getting used to non-hostile dark matter! They do seem pretty nice though!"

Anyway ignoring Phosphor's War PTSD, all of these are very cool and ya'll should vote for them ;3

A letter from a friend has been left in your inbox!

"Greetings Moroshi,

I hope you enjoy your stay in my kingdom! It's been a real pleasure to have you around. I've also added a small gift from the botanical garden to this letter, just for you!

By the way, who in the OC Tournament are you excited for?

Warm regards,

D.M.L. Rimuri"

As a bonus, this letter's companion package contained a bouquet of crimson roses. A small note nestled among the blooms reads, "Bon Appetit, Fluttering Friend." How sweet!

Moroshi: Oh Rimuri, thank you so much for the roses! They look absolutely delicious! As for who I'm excited for.... well there's a handful of contestants that I'm rooting for.

Moroshi: Aside from you Rimuri, I'm also rooting for Morpscientia Knight, Cosmo, Fylass, Valfrey, and Peony! Whether they're still in the main polls or the second chance polls, I'll still be rooting for them and many more contestants!

Moroshi: Though out of everyone, I hope my fellow butterflies are able to succeed. Heh, maybe we should have a girls night out sometime.

+1 Strange Encounter With A Friendly Dark Matter! Featuring @zeros-witness Rimuri!

+1 Life Lesson!

Always ready to help, but perhaps a bit too quick to jump to conclusions, Olympea nearly attacked Dark Matter Lord Rimuri to protect the injured stranger! Thankfully they quickly cleared up the confusion and she learned that Rimuri only wanted to heal their companion, who had gotten hurt on the way to this strange tournament she keeps hearing about.

How and why they ended up playing Ludo afterwards? Who knows.

(Heeheehee, it's a bit late for propaganda, but at least I finished it before the poll ended. Unless some miracle turnaround happens today it looks like you and Rimuri are winning this round anyway. That's fine though! As for the drawing — I had a lot of difficulty figuring out their crown crystals. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out in the end. I hope I did them justice! ...And don't worry about Keigo the Pet Rock. It just wanted to join the fun and inspect these strange new people. Very closely.)

@kirbyoctournament belated propaganda, but I'm turning it in anyway.

"Hello miss, I have a particularly important question, what's a "Girls Night?" How does one attend Girls Night?" The orb paused for a moment, quietly deciding on whether to trust Techie, before asking, "Would you go to a Girls Night with me?"

-from @zeros-witness

"Sup? I've never been on a Girl's Night either, to be honest!! But it's just like, a bunch of girls going out and partying and chatting. Maybe watch a movie, have some drinks. But, uh..."

Techie looks around shiftily- or seems to, behind her glasses.

"...I gotta warn you though, the doc wouldn't be thrilled about me hanging with, well... Like, I don't care what you are, but she'd loooove to get her hands on a Dark Matter like you for her research so keep an eye out. No pun intended."

"I'd love to do a Girls Night though! You inviting anyone else?"

[springbreezes-and-peonies]

“I would love if you mailed me again! It helps me to practice my reading. And thank you dear. I try to be as brave as I can be.”

*she laughs softly, smiling warmly*

“And to keep my heart open. To me, that is the bravest thing we can do. I look forward to hearing from you again in time.”

You've got mail! A pink letter has been left here, addressed to Peony...

"Hello Miss Peony!

Your dress is quite lovely! I think it suits you well! I wish I could be as pretty as you one day.

Tell me, how do you deal with stress? You're so vibrant and carefree, is there a secret to that?

-Warm regards,

D.M.L. Rimuri~"

-from @zeros-witness

“Oh!! Why hello there! You’re awfully kind to say such a thing dear. I love my dress, it’s true.”

*she laughs softly, perhaps visibly the slightest bit uncomfortable, but continuing in politeness and compassion*

“And I think you are already quite lovely! You have a unique beauty all your own, like every living thing. Of course, a few flowers never hurt…”

“There we are! That’s a lovely face…eye…? All of you! I must admit I’ve had a not so pleasant experience with a Dark Matter presence in the past, but you seem very different and far be it from me to judge you for the actions of your others. As for how I deal with stress…well…before, when I lived alone, I would communicate with my plants, they were my family and the only other lives I knew for the longest time. After the erm…incident…I couldn’t do that, and all by myself I would have what my beloved one has told me are ‘panic attacks’. Which does seem to describe them, the stress was almost unbearable to manage all alone. Once I met him, I would talk to him when I could once the feeling was taking hold, and he would listen and even taught me a trick! I will pass it on to you! He told me to breathe in and out slowly and as evenly as I could through my mouth, and to just name things I could see around me. So things like ‘desk. Chair. Flower. Lamp.’ Etc! This often helped. He called this ‘grounding’ yourself, and when it gets to be too much for me, he helps me to ground myself by guiding me through it. I’ve even helped him a few times as he struggles with stress himself! I won’t lie I feel a little pride for doing so. I also squeeze my stuffed Como, Jeri as tightly as possible if I’m alone and the stress starts to overwhelm me. I brought him with me during the tourney for comfort. He’s very soft and has a very lovable face, he’s helped me through many hard times! I hope all this helps you! Don’t forget that while uncomfortable, stress is a natural feeling and you shouldn’t shame yourself for feeling it! If you need to cry, or find a place you can scream it out if need be, I absolutely advise this! I’ve done so myself many times! I wish you well dear, and good luck in all your endeavors. I feel very reflective after speaking with you, so thank you for that.”

*She smiles genuinely and honestly, her discomfort mostly gone*

ROUND TWO: Rimuri VS Vic

[zerosocialskillz]

Amaterasu, what do you think of some of the other competitors in the tourney?

@kirbyoctournament

“If I talk about all of my thoughts, we’ll be here all day, so perhaps I should talk about a couple.”

“Rubi, my competitor… they’re cute, not going to lie. I’m surprised that she is friends with a dark matter.”

“Clark… I hope he gets out of the IKEA. Zero could really need another awoofy friend.”

Zero looks at Amaterasu, surprised. Amaterasu gave it a smug look.

“Rimuri… they seem nice. Them being the new leader of the dark matter of their world was surprising to me, but considering that each Zero’s biology seems to differ from world to world, why should I be surprised?”

“Noir…”

Amaterasu’s smile fell.

“It… pains me to learn of his fate. I know that’s not my Zero doing those terrible things, but… it still hurts to hear that it did those terrible things to him…”

“…and the worst part? I can see it doing that exact same thing. Before Kirby came and changed its ways.”

“…say, where did our ‘Noir’ went, anyway?”

Zero looked away.

“…Kirby killed him. I saw it with my own eye.”

Amaterasu looked down.

“You… you said that he only wanted a friend, yes?”

Zero nodded slowly.

“I think, if we’ve met Kirby in different circumstances, then he could have… we could have…”

Zero trailed off. It then looked upwards. A red tear fell from its eye.

“Is this what it feels when one loses their own child?”

“I… I didn’t even feel guilty…”

Amaterasu placed her hand on the fallen god’s fur, massaging it. Comforting it. Zero closed its eye, feeling content.

And yet…

“…sometimes, I wonder why you forgive me despite everything I did.”

Amaterasu looked at Zero.

“Because you’re not that person anymore. You don’t want to harm your children, even if they are defective or otherwise, right?”

Amaterasu then cleared her throat.

“Sorry, anon. It got off-topic at the end.”

Tsukuyomi pops out of nowhere.

“And how about Sir Uther?”

“Don’t vote for him. And don’t vote for Tsuku if he joins next year.”

“Hey! I was just trying to lighten up the mood!”

“I appreciate it, but I don’t think Amy forgives you for digging that up.”

Tsukuyomi pouted.

"Oh- there you are. I suppose I should introduce myself now, haha. I'm Celesta Knight."

"...What was it you were planning to ask?"

Wow, Celesta Knight is a lot larger than expected! She also doesn't seem to be able to see Rimuri, but at least she knows they're there.

@zeros-witness @kirbyoctournament

(text: "So, about that survey...")

"Hello! My name is Dark Rimuri, and, I was wondering if you'd be interested in meeting me at Popopo Park for a survey or two, regarding the tournament? I'll be over by the Super Star Fountain if you want to come! Hope you have a wonderful day!"

- To Celesta Knight, from @zeros-witness

"Why thank you, haha!

"A survey, you say... Of course, I'd love to! It's been a while since I last participated in one...

"I'm not sure where Popopo Park is, but I'll be able to find it in no time. I'll meet you there!"

[pinkestmenace]

Edit: Expanded reference sheet

WOOOO! Done just in time! @kirbyoctournament

Name: Olympea, the Pummeling Peacekeeper

Gender: She-himbo, She/Her

Age: Never ask a woman her age! (She's an adult.)

Occupation: Warrior/Hero of Yore

Species: Puffball/Starborn/Star Child/whatever the Kirby species is called.

Uh-oh, due to a temporal anomaly the Hero of Yore Olympea suddenly finds herself transported alive and well from Ancient Halcandra to the Kirby OC tournament! She doesn't know what's going on, but she'll roll with the punches and treat it like a fun dream vacation of sorts. She does like meeting all sorts of new people and trying new foods, weapons and technology. She'll have so many stories to tell her friends when she returns! It's probably for the best if she doesn't learn what disaster befell the four heroes in the regular timeline, though...

Some ground rules, just in case:

I would love seeing people's OC's interact with her! Asking Olympea questions is okay, but this is not an ask blog/rp blog and I'm not looking for extended roleplay. I may not answer your question. If I see potential for an interesting interaction I may draw it, but I can't promise anything. (Keep in mind if I don't respond right away -> 1: I'm timid and get anxious easily. 2: I may not have figured out that part of her story/the history of Ancient Halcandra yet. 3: The answer would have contained a spoiler for my fics. 4: I'm very slow at drawing.)

I'm joining this tournament for fun, so thank you for understanding!

Bonus: Halloween Outfits

Overview:

While she's not very big, intellectual or attuned to magic, she is unbeatably chipper and physically strong. She loves fighting and gleefully uses a variety of lovely accessories/weapons like a giant club, enchanted glaive, magitech gauntlets, etc. Her left glove allows her to access a dimensional storage. Teases hard, punches even harder. Actually quite feminine when off the clock. Loves magitech gadgets a lot. Doesn't think science or magic is better, because their society needs both. She's definitely not insecure about her height. She'd also never conjure a giant squeaky hammer to bop you over the head if you call her short.

Likes: Vegetables, Nectar, Trying new foods, The colour green, Flowers, Butterflies and moths, Pretty/cool/badass women, Her club, Brass knuckles, Tinkering, New gadgets, Teasing her friends, Seeing a certain winged magenta knight open up and feel genuine joy

Dislikes: Being mistaken for a child, Being called stupid, Stuck-up people, Seeing her friends being hurt, Strangers flicking her antennae, How much dust and scales her wings leave behind

Abilities: Able to fly. Very physically strong. Innately has access to Suplex and Hammer, but mainly uses her trusty club. Her boots and gauntlets let her emulate elements of Hi-jump, Laser and Mecha. (The boosted jump, laser finger guns and palm blasts, respectively.)

Weaknesses: Can't fly quickly. Stubby little arms limit her great strength with little reach. Distractable and a little naive. Can't resist eating strange and exotic snacks no matter the source. Seeing cute girls (she HAS to show off).

Fighting Style:

Her gauntlets are good for punching and the palms can release blasts of energy as well. They're mainly so she can hold large weapons well, since her actual hands aren't very big.

Her moth wings aren't very big either, so while she can normally fly and can still break her fall when she's armoured, she prefers to zip around close to the ground. It's often faster and easier to run and jump when she's fighting. Especially when she's wielding her heavy club. Her boots help her boost and maneuver quickly.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that because she prefers close range combat and isn't proficient with magic she can't attack at a distance. Her gauntlets possess finger laser guns and she can use her left glove (which she also wears under her gauntlet) to access her weapon hoard at all times. Who knows what else she keeps in there?

Even her civilian outfit isn't harmless. She still has access to her innate Suplex and Hammer abilities, after all. And those shoes have steel toes! Of course, the platform heels are just to keep her delicate wings from scraping across the ground when folded. No other reasons. (Like being taller.)

Design Thoughts:

Olympea is the first of the Heroes of Yore who came to me. I was thinking about how to describe the Heroes of Yore and knew I wanted at least one to be a woman. Suddenly her name resounded through my head! Then I just started associating. Olympea sounds like Olympics, so she must be strong. Pea calls to mind small, round and green, so what if she's (mostly) the same species as Galacta Knight? Peas are famous for research on genetics and alleles, so what if she was born, not formed like him? Maybe she doesn't have a lot of magical affinity. Then she needs weapons. Pea, peace, pea shooters, peas in a pod, peacemaker, pea-smacker. Let's give her a hammer, no, a club! She's strong, so what if she packs a punch? How about some gauntlets for punching? She can have a gun, wait, let's put the gun (pea shooter!) in her gauntlet's finger! She needs storage for her weapon hoard (girl needs to accessorise!) so what if her enchanted gauntlets let her access dimensional storage (peas in a pod)? Hmmm, does she have wings? There's a bug called a pea moth, so she has moth wings now. Her ponytail is twisted like a dried pea pod and not-so-coincidentally looks a bit like a cocoon when down and a boxing glove while up in a bun.

I maaay have gone completely overboard with the whole pea thing, but such is life. Although there is a bit of Hammer Lord in there as well. She doesn't hate magic, she just doesn't have a lot of affinity for it. She does enjoy tinkering and building weapons. This is how she ended up relying mostly on technology instead of magic.

She's not a knight and has no mask, because while many people depict all adult puffballs as masked knights (probably influenced by the Star Warriors from the K:RBAY anime) I personally don't think this has to be universal for their kind. How sad it would be if all they were destined for was fighting! ...And then I made her a warrior anyway. Oh well.

Meanwhile, in the Kirby OC tournament...

@kirbyoctournament

[paulythide]

One Shot details!

So, while I work on the next chapter of the White Lion of the Red Keep, I want to ask and add more details to some of the more prominent options of the future one shot.

For example,

Idea F)-(Tensei Shitara x Galadriel (Overlord) Should it be more interesting if Galadriel was reborn there instead of Rimuru? Because I think it would've been a bit more interesting. Maybe, when Galadriel was reborn, she would've been forced to live in the same cave Rimuru was and slowly absorb the world's magic slowly, without her knowing because she is spending time with Veldora. Then she goes out, and that's where the fanfic began.

Another idea is for her and Rimuri to simply appear together in the same cave. I think this is good too. Rimuru, Veldora and Galadriel could have a sort of hilarious friendship. So, while Rimuru is levelling up, Galadriel would be already op and begin to experiment with that world's magic, perhaps, even level up herself. I don't know. Slime's world mechanic is kind of weird, not going to lie. But it is quite amusing to think about.

Idea >D)-(Mushoku Tensei x Galadriel (Overlord) Now, I think there could be different versions of this, but one of them is. Obviously, Galadriel is born there instead of Rubeus, and the dynamic of the entire series changes. Now, Galadriel could be born full op, but just in the body of a child and growing up, or gradually unlock her power.

Or, she could be born as Rubeus' twin. I don't know about this one, but again. It will change the dynamic of the series.

Idea>B)-(High School DxD x Galadriel (Overlord) I have been watching the series, and honestly, I just can't get into it. It's not for me. But I get the appeal, and the history is not really that bad. I guess it is not for me. Nevertheless, I just think Galadriel could take the place of Issei. I hate that guy, truly. But she would not be the pawn.

I'll let your minds continue with this.

Idea >G)-(Naruto x Galadriel (Overlord) Honestly, it's not really that bad if I think about it. I'll have to deal with just the Naruto fans. But I think it would be an interesting take. Galadriel, a Demonic entity, befriending Naruto with the Nine Tails. I don't know, I can of like the idea.

Idea >H)-(Bleach x Galadriel (Overlord) Now, the two versions are fun to think about. Galadriel just trying to learn more without bringing too much attention to her while also proving to be a sort of "new threat" since her Reiatsu is so strange and unique.

Galadriel, as a new Shinigami recruit, just shocks everyone and shows she has the Reiatsu of a Captain.

Or, Galadriel doing her best to not get the attention of Aizen, who thinks of her as a sort of unique Arrancar.

Funny both and interesting.

-The Game of Thrones or Dance of the Dragon ideas remain the same. But I think I have enough Game of Thrones fanfictions going around. So, yeah, I don't think I'll use them.

There are some people who want me to use I'm a Spider, so What? Well, I'll have to read the novel since the anime doesn't give me much to work on yet.

Also, some of you asked me if I would write an Overlord Fanfic, where Galadriel and Ainz met. Well, it's an interesting concept. Others asked me why I didn't put them together. Well, the original idea I had years ago was to make Galadriel, Ainz's little sister or twin sister.

But decided to just go with Galadriel solo. Well, the idea is still there.

-Also, some asked me about other works.

-Noblesse x Overlord (Now, I like this too! I remember reading the entire webtoon of Nobless for almost two weeks non-stop. I love it. So, it's out there to consider, eh?"

-Goblin Slayer x Overlord (Mm, intriguing.)

-Knosuba x Overlord (Do you want Galadriel to lose her mind with that useless goddess? Do you want her to go full genocide in that world?! Yeah, I thought so...)

-Shokugeki No Soma x Overlord (What...? I don't know even... how would that work? I mean, I am all in for intriguing ideas, but this is weird... but funny. I won't lie!)

-How not to Summon a Demon Lord x Overlord (Galadriel's harem history.)

-Kuroko no Basuke x Ovelord (Demiurge's wearing Laker's uniform.)

So, those are the details and other crazy ideas lying on there, from people's PM and hell.

See you all soon, and keep telling me what you would like to see!
