Hero Forge: My "Souls-Borne" Characters so far...

I've cleared Bloodborne enough times to get platinum, and still enjoy going back to it every once in a while. It's undeniably my favorite of all Fromsoft's titles (that I've played, but I don't think DS3 or Sekiro are likely to usurp it when/if I get around to them.)

Anyway, I had a seriously rough go of it trying to get through Dark Souls 1, starting two attempts that ended in rage quits extremely early on. First try didn't even make it TO Undead Berg because I got lost right at the start and got eaten by endlessly regenerating skeletons, second try I managed to actually beat the first Taurus Demon, and don't remember exactly what I got stuck on and inevitably rage quit again, but it happened.

It was only my THIRD attempted playthrough- after getting hooked on Bloodborne and making use of the same strategies- that I was able not only to actually see the rest of the game (which I had up to that point theorized didn't even exist and any known details were just part of an elaborate inside joke among people pretending to have made it that far), but actually beat it.

And finally overcoming such an infamously difficult game was cause for some kind of celebration, so I immortalized the Chosen Undead I took from the Undead Asylum to the Kiln of the First Flame...as a Hero Forge figure trying my best to match the loadout I had when I defeated Gwyn. The Gargoyle Tail Axe carried me through the ENTIRE game after I got it.

THEN. I did what any sane person who hated every step of Dark Souls would do after finally beating it...I played Dark Souls 2. Again. After my two rage-quits of 1, I thought maybe 2 would be better and fix at least SOME of the things I hated about 1...

NOT SO. ONCE AGAIN I went the "wrong way" and got obliterated by a bunch of giant knights that, given my "I literally just got out of the tutorial area" level, each qualified as a boss fight by themselves even though they were just normal-ass enemies.

ATTEMPT #2 WOULD BE DIFFERENT, THOUGH. I beat Bloodborne AND Dark Souls 1, after all. It would be painful, no doubt, but possible. And no, it was decidedly NOT better than 1. I discovered entirely new things to hate about it in ADDITION to the returning obnoxiousness from 1.

But I slogged through, raged at the bad parts, acknowledged a few good parts, and EVENTUALLY the Bearer of the Curse became Queen of Drangleic by taking the throne (in contrast to to how I ended the previous game by *not* doing that.) Another Hero Forgery was in order! This one was a bit tougher just because of how much unique armor and gear there was. The life-stealing Butcher's Knife became my favorite after favoring various axes up to the point where I got it.

With that, my Dark Souls journey is done until 3 goes on a decent sale, but I did get Elden Ring, and that's actually been a ton of fun! Not "dethrone Bloodborne" fun, but it can comfortably take 2nd place in my rankings.

At the time of posting this, I haven't actually beaten it yet, but I am AT the final boss, and it's a massive Fromsoft-level pain in the ass. I'm sure I can do it, and I'm on track for the "marry the pretty moon witch lady" ending once I do, so I jumped the gun a bit and made...

I spent far longer than I care to admit trying to make something look like Ghiza's Wheel, AKA the Whirligig Saw, AKA the Pizza Cutter, but I just couldn't get anything to work for the blades.

NOW. If you've read this far, you're probably wondering something like, "Wait, you said Bloodborne was your favorite, so why didn't you make one of these for that game?" I didn't make a "Bloodborne Neiri" because my original Bloodborne character, and the one I first beat the game with was actually Tailii. I didn't make Neiri as a character until I realized that NG+2 Laurence was just too much for Tailii to handle. So I started a new character, played through the whole game again, and was able to take out Laurence and the Orphan of Kos, and get its weapon drop for the platinum.

Only after that did I decide to give the other Souls games another chance, and start making the different versions of Neiri in Hero Forge. For the sake of completion, I made Bloodborne Neiri after finishing the Elden Ring version.

And here she is. Because of how BB's armor system works, I actually frequently change outfits throughout the game, so neither Tailii nor Neiri ever had a consistent look, so I went with the Knight's Set purely for fashionable reasons.

Wow. This post ended up being a lot more text heavy than I planned.

*asks abt old ocs*

OK

THIS IS GONNA BE A LONG, L O N G STORY!

So! Years ago, two or three i dont fucking know, my friend dragged me into Transformers

My first character was myself but a master engineer who built herself a giant robot suit. I was in like sixth grade? So yeah I guess three years ago. Eventually I jumped face first into gravity falls and said “fuck it, self insert is a dream demon named metal crusher now”

And so my first cybertronian oc was born. Gold and red femme, triple changer, secretly a dream demon. God, she was horrible. Absolutely horrible. She had the curves of a goddess, was a prankster, and wasnt a Good character. She had no backstory at all.

maybe after 3 to four months of this idiot, Metal Crusher was changed to only being a cybertronian, but was still a triple changer. Same shitty personality.

Around this time, I made two more ocs, Stormraid and Sharpshooter. I can’t remember what Stormy’s original name was, but she was made like a month before Sharpshooter. These two were also horrible, and quite two dimensional. They were basically predacons, but for some reason I called them “dracoconians”.

BACK TO METAL CRUSHER!! After awhile I hated her fucking name and renamed her Solarflash, and allowed her to teleport in a golden flash. And when I got glasses, I gave her glasses too. Solarflash was basically a shitty self insert.

And after a tad more time, she became more bearable but was still essentially a self insert, and she never received any proper backstory. I chubbed her out a little as a ”flaw” (eventually I learned I was sort of attracted to that so) since I thought she was a tad Mary Sue ish

Back to sharpshooter and stormraid. Remember those bitches from a couple paragraphs ago? Stormraid sucked ass. She was a tad primal and was a big tough woman, with big tough muscles, medium boobs, and big strong thighs that‘d make a man like Jetstorm swoon.

And Sharpshooter? Big strong homeless gay man that kills bots for a living. Had a history with Sentinel, childhood friends. And for some reason, somehow, he got into a relationship with Sentinel (which is when I discovered my love for this asshat). Had a minicon named Becky who transformed into his plasma rifle (Becky was later deleted, and she was replaced with a plasma/emp rifle).

And so! There was a long period of time where nothing much happened. These characters sucked for a long time and I made a million side ones. (Most notable being Afterburner, Optimus’s seeker daughter and Jetfire’s girlfriend, and Codebreaker, Jazz’s smart techy girlfriend with tentacles that could hack into a bot’s processor... And syringe, who was later made into a main character. She hasn’t changed at all.)

Here we are in present day. Stormraid was renamed Excalibur and deleted. Sharpshooter was renamed Zenith and made more edgy and less homeless, but also infinitely more alcoholic. Solarflash was deleted and replaced with the much more interesting Perikarya.

wait I forgot one...

FOREVER AND EVER AGO, BACK AROUND WHEN I MADE STORMRAID AND SHARPSHOOTER, I HAD AN EDGY MEGATRON’S DAUGHTER WHO WAS ANGRY AT EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING

she was named Plague Bringer, and originated as a creepypasta oc. At first she was half human, and then half Neiri, a tall species of winged carnivorous humans. Once I deleted Neiris, PB was made full cybertronian.

so that’s the stories of all my transformers ocs. I hope you enjoyed.
