Bracket G Round 1

Poll 7

Lotus & Maple (@echoheart0324) vs. Enigma (@sad-tacocat)

397. Lotus & Maple (@echoheart0324)

Lotus: he/they Maple: he/him

The joke answer: They're both a little silly, and you can't go wrong with a red/green color combo! They also work well in combat together, with Lotus being able to use a staff/gun (for healing/magic) and Maple being able to use his sword. They're absolutely insufferable (affectionate).

The more serious answer: In terms of their story, they were childhood friends doomed by the narrative. It initially seemed like their trust and love for each other was enough throughout their journey, but it gradually crumbled their bond until they became unrecognizable to each other. And though they were able to turn the course of their fates (at the cost of separation by yeeting Lotus into the far future but that's another matter entirely), their bond can never be repaired to what it was prior to their journey. But they'll continue thinking of each other, of what might've been, since all they have left is to remember.

Lotus is the pink-haired guy with green eyes (on the left). He has a bandage over their nose with a pink skirt over his dark pants. Meanwhile, Maple has dark brown hair with faded red highlights and brown eyes (on the right). There's a golden shoulder armor piece on his left shoulder in the shape of a lily pad and he has a sword belt in the same color.

398. Enigma (@sad-tacocat)

genderfluid, mainly uses she/her and it/its

Enigma is a cosmic entity and shapeshifter and uses the ability to prank people (because who wouldn't), and it was created to cause havok. Enigma should win because it causes chaos as a job and has an awesome scythe, and if that isn't a reason to vote for someone idk what is.

it depends because its a shapeshifter

>Lore || Headcanons

“The true form of Dan Heng, a descendant of the Vidyadhara Luofu. He carries the burdens of his past life, the Sinner Dan Feng, and with it a part of his power is passed down to him. By accepting his lineage, Dan Heng can longer escape the ghosts of Dan Feng's past.”

Backstory

For years after his exile, Dan Heng shed his horns and scales. He cut his ears and hid his pointed ears, and the glow of his eyes became dull like muted green stones. Dan Heng changed his appearance completely in order to distance himself from his past and walk forward to his new future. The destructive power of his heritage is tightly locked away to the point it can be barely discerned. 

But Dan Heng cannot hide it forever.

While searching for his friends in the Xianzhou Luofu, Dan Heng was struck by Blade sword and it triggered his transformation. Unable to contain his powers, his human disguise was washed away by the pure waters and his true self was revealed. A Vidyadhara Luofu, the reincarnation of the criminal, High Elder Dan Feng.

Nowhere to run, Dan Heng accepted the majestic horns on the crown of his head as he accepted the fact he cannot avoid Dan Feng past anymore. 

[Please refer to the “Lore” for full details of his character story and in-game story]

Appearance

[Please refer to the above image for Dan Heng-Imbibitor Lunae appearance]

Personality

At first impression, Dan Heng comes off as a stoic young man who rarely loses his composure and remains level-headed. Sometimes, it will leave others to believe he is cold and indifferent. In truth, for the people who know Dan Heng, he is a kind soul with strong loyalty to his friends/family. He dislikes beating around the bush, preferring to speak bluntly and straightforwardly, but he is also careful with his word choice and tone. 

Even though Dan Heng can remain calm in the most perilous of situations, there are few things that can shake him to the core: Dan Feng's past and the meaning of his existence. 

Abilities

Dan Heng is a spell-user following the Path of Destruction. He channels the power of Imaginary, summoning forth powerful water dragons and spears to smite his enemies. 

Cloudhymn Magic: Due to his Vidyadhara heritage, Dan Heng can use Cloudhymn Magic. He can disguise his Vidyadhara features and appear as a regular humanoid. He can manipulate water to a certain degree and shapeshift it into dragons. He can create mirages of inanimate objects like lotus and spears. Even without transforming, Dan Heng can still use his magic.

Sealing Arts: He is capable of breaking seals using Cloudhymn Magic, but he cannot create or fix seals. 

Weather Manipulation: Dan Heng can command the rain and clouds. 

Levitation: It is implied Dan Heng can float/fly in the air.

Transformation: It is implied as High Elder, Dan Heng can transform into a dragon. That has yet to be seen.

Martial Arts: Dan Heng is proficient in Cloudlancer art, one of the many martial arts used in the Xianzhou. However, he is just as capable fighting bare-handed if needed. 

Combat Experience: Dan Heng has proven to be a strong fighter despite living most of his life in the Shackling Prison. Whether he is a gifted fighter, or, as some would believe, fighting with muscle memory, it has proven to be advantageous in dealing with life-or-death situations. 

Weapon: Dan Heng wields a magical orb/pearl acting as a catalyst for his powers.He still prefers Cloud Piercer, his spear. He doesn’t mind using other weapons if necessary, but he dislikes it to the point he rather fights bare-handed. 

Physical Stats: With a durable body and fighting experience, Dan Heng physical abilities are above a regular human. Also, he heals faster than a normal person. 

Longevity: The Vidyadhara are able to live up to a few centuries (around 700 years) before they reincarnate. They stop aging at a certain point, appearing eternally youthful for the rest of their lives until they are ready to return to the sea.

Notes

Regular Dan Heng and Dan Heng-IL will be used interchangeably, because he can switch forms freely. For a majority of the time, Dan Heng will appear as normal instead of Dan Heng-IL. He finds his true form to be a hassle for various reasons. 

The few times Dan Heng will change forms are: 

The situation is too dire that he cannot afford to hold back.

He is heavily injured and needs to transform to heal his wounds.

The situation requires that he needs to appear as Imbibitor Lunae (Example: IL Story Quest)

[Anything else will be added here]

Regular Dan Heng and Dan Heng-IL will always be called “Dan Heng”. Dan Feng will be called “Yinyue Jun/Imbibitor Lunae” for a majority of the time.

"Who can say if I've been changed for the better?"

(The first and second drawings show off more of their designs + chibi full body references since the initial full body refs I had were back when they were still Puyo OCs before deciding to make them their own thing instead.

Meanwhile, the third picture is in reference to Lotus and Maple drifting apart from each other, featuring their timeskip designs in the bottom row.)

More design/character notes:

Both Lotus and Maple’s hairstyles (mostly their bangs and upper hair spikes) are based on their respective plants (the lotus and the maple leaf), just upside down and exaggerated.

The timeskip design for Maple is very similar to his previous design with only a few adjustments (and a longer cloak that’s not shown here), since he’s the one still clinging onto the past, unlike Lotus. (It’s like watching your childhood best friend slowly gravitate towards other friend groups as time passes, while you stay the same.) This is ironic to the symbolism of the maple leaf, representing “change”, but it’s also known as a symbol for loyalty and strength/protection.

The gold flower symbols on Lotus have more detail to it since they’re the child of Wally (who’s in charge of the town they live in).

Lotus specializes in all elements of magic but prefers sticking to earth and water magic the most. Maple specializes in wind and fire magic but prefers not using it because he lives in a very flammable area and would rather not risk it (hence his sword).

( Anyways, this is for the OC brackets, run by @original-character-championship )

@maple-alliance​

Lotus was often hesitant to go out into the city—who knew who might recognize him, and (for once) it wasn’t in his best interest to drum up chaos. But the feeling of boredom easily beat out anything like that, so the spirit scurried out to the outskirts of Edelstein for a little breath of fresh air and freedom.

He doesn’t have the energy to go too far, so this thicket is fine. Lotus spends a bit of time watching some birds, before a glint downward catches his eye. Huh... is that a chest, presumably of the treasure variety?

The spirit scrunches down and leans over the box, about to open it... before there’s a noise of footsteps crunching grass. But he was just about to see what was in here!!

“Aren’t you... one of those heroes?”
