So. I have a ton of really awesome images going through my head....and none of them are of the stuff I really need to get done *flophuff* This was one of them. Well, one of four based around the same concept.

In the midst of listing out all my characters (all 100+ of them) and typing out their profiles, I came to realize that I only have four, yes FOUR, normal human characters. Nothing really special to them at all. Just regular every day people like you and me. A chef (Deveraux), a brawler (Maddock), a figure skater (Zevian), and a pre-med student (Jenniva). Well. I just couldn't have that. There had to be something special about them. They're MY characters after all. Sheesh.

Then I got to taking to one of my oldest, dearest, and closest friends about an RPG concept that he was thinking about adding to our own personal roleplay playground, Genesis. Anyway. It's a complicated story line and it would take far too long to type out....that and it's 1:00 AM and I'm about to go to bed XD

ANYWAY! I decided that it was the perfect chance to take my four mundane, everyday human characters and give them that spark that they needed. Drawing on the wonderful concepts from the playstation games Persona and Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, I decided that I was going to create specialized persona's for each of my four characters to aid them in the trials that will soon lay ahead of them. And here is the first.

This is Zevian's persona. She's based loosely on the Scandanavian Goddes of Winter, Skadi. I tried to gather character traits from each character and fit a god or goddess to them and take it from there. ANYWAY! Since Zevian is a figure skater, I figured ice was easily her element and created this. An ice based persona who dual weilds huge axes that resemble the blades of a figure skate. Why? Because I thought it was kinda cool and really personalized it to Zevian. So nyah! She's also named after the goddess in which I chose, Skadi or Skaoi (haven't decided which version I like best yet).

And I don't want to hear anything about her armor either. She's a manifestation of Zevian's soul, thus making her a magical being, in which case her armor doesn't have to be functional, just stylish XD And yes, most of it's made from ice, leather, iron, and fur. Why? Because she's the Goddess of WINTER....duh! Chh. Anyway.

I'm actually REALLY proud of this. It took a lot out of me to come up with this without any references what so ever and make it as original as possible.

I <3 her helm and boots.

Skadi/Skaoi and art belong to Darby LeBrun
Persona concept belongs to Atlus


Don't worry. This will be in colour very soon. Along with Agni (Hindu god of fire/Dev's persona), Thor (Norse god of lightning/Maddock's persona), and Artemis (Greek goddess of light/ Jenniva's persona).

And if you haven't atleast played Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, I advice you do. Such a neat story! <333

This is really awesome! I absolutely adore her huge weapons, they're such awesome looking blades! Her boots are also very awesome! The details in this are great to look at! I also like the concept behind her, though I don't think that regular humans are so bad either!

Indeed! Was kinda funny because my friend was like, "What? Freya wasn't good enough for you?" and I smiled and was like, "She wasn't the goddess of winter, snow, or ice. She was just Norse, which is associated with Vikings, which is associated with snow and cold." XD
