Raphael's wardrobe:

Remember that drawing of Raphael and Ezra I did awhile back?

After doing that drawing, I was inspired by this outfit that showed up on my dash one day cos I felt it gave off Casual Vampire Teacher vibes.

Now it's a mix between Casual Vampire Teacher and "I'm the host of a Vampire Masquerade Ball."

Had this design sitting in my WIP folder for a while.

"Now, let us dance!"

gave amy an outfit based on her raphaels 2p outfit in sc2 😌

amy sorel youre forever in my heart for changing my dress up interest

"You vex me. Who are you, woman?"

[soul-engraver]

Even more outfit recreations! (I thought I had already made enough, but I was wrong)

I prefer Sophitia's Soul Edge 1p over her other 1ps, probably because it somehow reminds me of Xena and Wonder Woman (and both have ties to Greek mythology, what a coincidence), so I really wanted to make something similar in SC VI. The most difficult part to put together were her boots – there is only one pair that looks close, but they're too short, and I think the length makes a noticeable difference. I ended up placing some stickers on socks and colored socks close to her skin tone, but they are still not the same color. Still, it's the best that I could come up with, and ngl I like it. Fighting Cervantes on Indian Port sage in this outfit was fun.

Another costume from Soul Edge I like is her PS exclusive. It's unlike anything else she has in the other games, and it's just pretty. Still not sure about the hat, but for now I'm keeping this version. I would like if the tunic allowed for stickers though, because patterns are more difficult to place nicely.

Next is Maxi's 2p from SC III with some elements from other games. I liked two-colored pants and some robe on his upper body, but the black scarf doesn't stand out as much, so I changed it to red (not even my idea, I took it from Silvershire's video on Maxi's costumes). Also the shoes are closer to his SC II 2p because others would be more difficult to replicate.

The rest are just improved versions of what I put together before in this post. Raphael had very few changes – some stickers to give more texture to his red shirt, adjusted colors here and there, and I placed special equipment to resemble buttons.

For Ivy, I changed the upper equipment because this one has a corset, and adjusted colors again, so it looks closer to the original.

I added a belt, changed boots and colors for Tira's outfit. Plus gave her makeup that brings her closer to SC IV look.

With Cassandra's costume, I went for a full revamp. The first version was nice, but it still missed something imo, and then I figured what – the silhouette is a big part of why I like the original costume, and in my recreation it wasn't the same (plus that tunic doesn't allow for stickers). So I decided to change the top, and there is a good option in the inner body layer, the problem is that it takes off her tights. Still, I went with this one and placed a bunch of stickers to make it look similar to the original (stickers that change the texture of clothing are very useful for this). I also changed boots to short ones, picked a different neck equipment and chose tall socks to imitate her tights. And as a cherry on top, I let Cassandra's hair down because it looks cute with this.

i wish we knew WHY azwel wants amys foresight powers. like he said hes going to turn her into his living doll but like

why

in what way does stealing her memories and then turning her into his slave benefit him?

im tempted to think he only wants to mess with amy because he hopes that by angering raphael he will be able to turn raphael into the next nightmare who he can puppeteer. but like couldnt it also go the other way? like maybe hes messing with raphael in order to anger amy so that amy becomes easier to manipulate? but like in both instances

why? in what way does any of this benefit him 😭

[soulofamy]

(kinda piggybacking off my old ask but) AU where Amy and Tira’s roles are switched 👀

Send me a potential AU and I’ll tell you five fun facts that would happen in a story.

unlike amy, who does not remember her birth parents, tira is haunted by the death of her mother when raphael takes her in. in this AU, there are no split personalities, tiras personality is most similar to her "jolly" persona when she warms up to raphael

amy, as a bird of passage, had her stubbornness beat out of her while growing up and it more or less lays dormant inside of her. she is one of their best assassins

raphaels family/his political enemies employ the birds of passage to kill raphael after he escaped the guards and fled with/adopted tira. the more senior members proved unable so they called in amy to finish him off

raphael had sworn to protect tira but he couldnt bring himself to kill this child assassin so he did the next best thing, he adopted her too (whether she wanted it or not is a completely different story LOL)

amy eventually came to accept her new family but now that the birds of passage's target was still alive AND their best assassin having deserted them, the three of them constantly have to watch their backs. raphael teaches tira how to fight with a rapier and tira and amy often find themselves having to defend each other on the occasions raphael isnt around.

bonus snippet from this potential AU:

"Behind me, Tira," Raphael whispered, his voice urgent. He stood up and held aloft his rapier in one hand, the other shielding the small brunnette girl behind him. He cursed himself for assuming they would get to rest. If they made it out of this alive, he needed to figure out a shelter situation for them. Traveling like this, in the shadows and destitute, was no way to raise a child.

His eyes narrowed as a hooded figure finally made herself known, having dropped down from the tree tops. It was odd that she appeared so small. Her mouth was covered with mask, but her eyes appeared young. Young, but hollow.

"Your days of escaping your fate end today," the assassin said. "Surrender now, and I will spare you the humiliation of a sky burial."

Raphael lowered his blade somewhat, confused. "Rather young to be an assaaain, aren't we?"

The girl's eyes narrowed and she pointed her ringblade outward. "Mock me all you want, it won't save you."

He was torn. On one hand, he had sworn to protect Tira with all he had. But on the other, how could he cut down someone he could only assume was a small child in her own right? How did a child so young even find herself in a position to be hired as an assassin? He glanced down at the small hand that gripped his waistcoat. He put his own hand over Tira's, a silent gesture to reassure her, then looked back at the hooded child.

Raphael refused to kill her, but he couldn't let her return to her assassin's guild either. He would simply have to bring her with him, whether she wanted to come or not.

Raphael: "Scared yet, Fontaine?" Ezra, rolling her eyes: "Not really, Sorel. To be honest, I think this get-up is a perfect representation of your soul. Really tells everybody that you suck the life out of them." Raphael, offended: "Seriously?! I have fought my way to the cursed sword and have been turned into a creature of the night as a result! I sink my teeth into the neck of the pitiful people on a regular basis! You always were too realistic, too boring, and always found a way to kill my joy. Years ago, you laughed at the existence of the supernatural and anything you claimed only existed in children's stories. Perhaps the existence of Soul Edge and the Malfested made you laugh no longer, hmm?" Ezra: "...You're right, I should be trembling in my boots right now, wondering why a creature of the damned that could only exist in nightmares and horror novels is standing behind me and holding me in his grasp. It's funny how you mention the teeth in the neck thing, that was usually your go-to thing to do to me whenever we had our...ahem...get-togethers...back in the day." Raphael, letting her go to hide his face: "...you wretch...yes, it is true, but have you no shame saying something that brazen out loud?" Ezra, fixing her spectacles: "As long as you're you, Sorel...I have no shame." Raphael: "Neither do I, Fontaine...Neither do I..." Somewhere... Kasta, covering their face: "...Oh my god, they were exes...and nerd exes too." Amy, also covering her face: "...Disappointed, but not surprised..."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Debating on whether I want this to be a regular thing, but I thought it would be funny if Ezra and Raphael were exes from before the Evil Seed occurred (considering they're both French, around the same age, and nerds) and all they do now is roast tf out of each other.

But yeah, this was made to be a thing for an OC birthday for Ezra.

Also yes, I gave Raphael claws cos of the concept art for his Soul Calibur 4 outfit and...yeah.

Now, to find a way to fit this into my Into the Dark Night of the Soul AU.

A Raphael doll I made from a Ken. Still needs a few improvements but here he is anyway with baby Amy (I'll buy an older one one day)

au where amy actually caught up to raphael before before he could get himself killed

Apologies for the week-long wait on this one. Without further ado...

Amy follows Raphael from the get-go, motivated by the fear of losing her adoptive father and wondering just how he means to bring about a "perfect world" for her.

Flashbacks along the way. It pains Amy to remember that her clearest memories of her parents are from around the time of their deaths. And to say nothing of the loneliness thereafter...

Amy catches up to him near Ostrheinsburg. Raphael tries in vain to convince her to stand back, but she grabs him by the wrist until his paternal instincts win out.

Of course, Nightmare will have no shortage of challengers if he doesn't get to him. But Raphael won't want to wait around for Soul Edge to drop from his hand.

Raphael overhears the sword shattering and Nightmare's last yells of rage and, oh no there goes Raphael's whole scheme. To say he won't take it well would be an understatement. I mean literally scrambling for shards of Soul Edge.

These are fun to do! Here's a link to the ask game for anyone else who wants to play along.
