Its sort of hard to say what inspired my character. If I have to choose one person, it definetly has to be Jeigan from Lupin III, personality wise. And almost all of my characters in anything I write have sideburns, so thats a little Lupin love right there (or maybe its just narcisism... I rock the sideburns myself). Turshman is also based off of certain people that are song about in folk and country western songs.

Much like Sparda, I started off as a basic incarnation of Raziel from Soul Reavier ((with a few twists)) And Called myself Black Joker 110

Well as Sparda said, I met Artemis Nevermore, and got my ass beat without her breakign a sweat.

so I had to improve.

When MOD was first formed, I becaem Leon, a glory seaking Demon.

well again much like Sparda, I met him and Kaijin in battle, and fought. Causeing me to improve.

Kaijin and Sparda helped tremendously to make Leon what he is.

The Selfproclaimed Badass king of Demons

As of lately though, Shuyin and Cairoi have been large influences on me. Thank you all

Mika: XD She's so cool that I've got 2 versions of her.

Weeeeeeeeell... My character, Mika... was inspired by my friend online, named Mika.

annnnnnnn'..... well I don't really think of her as my character, so much as I am just writing down what the character would do in that situation... she is more mine than she is hers... but *thinks*

Anyways, Yeeeeahh.... Mika inspired and Mika inspires me to improve. She's (Mika the character, not the person) my character now, even though I don't really think of her as that... kinda like owning a cat, where as much as you think of it as yours, they cannot be owned because of their nature...

Mika, while not my strongest((That goes to Sorrow...)), is by FAR my favorite character... Maybe 'cause she reminds me of my friend... I don't know... I think it's just because of the limitations I put on her whenever I battle... See since she's not my character (going around in circles XD) I wont write down her doing something that she wouldn't actually do in a fight... If Mika wouldn't see it coming, then an Instant death attack would kill her because she'd look at it and say "Harmless." like Nappa from DragonBall Z where he was almost cut in half by Krillian's "fierce destructo disk."
~~~~~~~~~~~

Alex: Oooh my character based on adaptation...

Mannerisms and such also based on a friend...

Yeeeeah this is my character that I don't use so very often... mostly because he started bugging me because he got too powerful, and yet I still kept losing with him. XD ((IT WOULD HELP IF I WAS BETTER AT SIMBATTLING THOUGH!!! XD))

Anyways, Alex is a Blue Mage, meaning he learns attacks used on him... enemy skills. Yeah... I keep them after battles... so that's how I improve on him... Unfortunatally... as he gets stronger... he becomes more... annoying... I guess... I just don't like him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Other dudes...

Alex and Mika are in here too.... but just about every simbattler I have is a character from the crappy story I write (that is not currently up to be read...) so yeah... when I do decide to post it... lol and y'all decide to fricken read it... you can as to battle anybody in it... like DBZ Budokai 3.
Jity Horo
Posts: 52/155
My older character, Jity Horo, was more or less based off of myself. I've always had a cult style love of water/ice magic, so I made him a mage. Then seeing what Sparda, Xeios, and other did to weak characters like mages I added a little physical power to him and gave him some other spells that didn't quite add on to water/ice. My Avatar is what Jity would have looked like.

Dimitri was a mistake waiting to happen. Hell-bourne foes, as Cairoi put it, are the generic form of guys on this site (probaly because the orignal site was called Masters of Darknes). He was also a mage but a martal artist sort of texture to him. Unfortunetly he didn't come out as planned.

Richard is probaly my favorite character. I haven't tried him out yet but still hes teh cool.

Out of the years I have simmed, I have come wup with 4 main characters.

Zenthiroth: Inspired by Satanism. This character, if anything is everything that I think the anti-christ should be and how one should act. Hate, fear, and love revolve around this character in many sick ways. He is more or less my unwilling partner. As far as his attacks and whatnot go, they are all mine creation. Inspired none more then myself.

Tseng: He was inspired to be created by my freind Reno. When I first met him, it was like a shot of charisma. Reno not only influenced Tseng, but also taught me many strategies to involve with. To this day, Tseng is not a finished character. Without the aid of Reno...I am not the person I am today.

Vel Belmont: He was created during my absence from Shin-ra. Yes, I was once Reno's enemy after I was with him. Not only did I stab him in the back and become his enemy, I hated him for quite some time. My jealousy and my envy towards him grew day in and night. Vel Belmont was created out of the hate I have for Reno. Why do I still use him? He's the True Vampire character. Also inspired by the novel: Dante's Inferno.

Seifer: Yes Seifer from FF8. He looked the same as the game character, same attitude and whatnot. Only I added in a few spells here and there as wel as some clothing properties. Inspiration? FF8's Seifer.

Others: I have a few others, more or less generic copies of the above. I have worked on another character by the name Daimonion, who is quite similiar to my Vel and Zenthiroth character combined.
Leviathan
Posts: 40/210
My character originally began as a D&D-style fighter/mage combo with a unique race i created for the game owners.

After that...the only thing that inspired his development was my "id". He is, in many ways, a representation of what the core consciousness of my mind would be without boundries. Take away the Ego, Super-Ego, Conscious, and Subconscious mind and toss whats left in what has become a near-omnipotent being..and you'd come pretty damned close.

My character is insipired by all the prick's that make god-mods. Ariya was inspired because I'm so tired of people making characters with "mystical" powers (no offense). Its just, if any human goes up against these guys, I want to show that humans are stronger than they look.

Originally it was inspired by a story I'm writing, but different plot line.

I love the fact that when you take something like a human and can write them...and you can make them anything you want. Isn't it great? It amazes me what type of beauty your character can hold.
Elara

Hmn... well, Jade is kinda interesting really.

I have a nickname, Chaos Imp, had it for a year or two now... mainly because of my quirky little personality (). I created the idea of Jade off of that nickname, don't really know why. I personified the Chaos Imp in a D&Dish character, kinda had the image as soon as I saw a picture of a Fey'ri in the Monsters of Faerun book. I took that idea and made it into Jade. DanteMagus helped me with her techniques, giving me the basics on how to create them, and thus I came up with her basic attacks.

As for the transformation, that was character development. A lot of the RPers had this god-like characters that I could not hope to beat, like Lore, who was the one who trained me in the original battle arena on MoD. I decided to merge the Chaos Imp with the Dark Goddess and create one character, I had done it before on Vizzed in my first battle with a godmodder. But instead of her being all powerful all the time, I made it just increase her abilities to match Lore's, and got the idea that she lost herself when this happened. It seemed a cool idea, a goddess that didn't know she was a goddess. That way she also had a lesser form for people that had regular characters.

Sparda helped me with her strategy more during our one fight, and I think I came out of that fight a better simbattler.

I don't know what else to say really.
Crono
Posts: 25/31
Me? I started off with the Crono from Chronotrigger, because I loved the game (It's still my favorite) and then found as I traveled from board to board that there was another guy doing the exact same thing. We battled, and after seeing some of the things he did I decided it was time for a bit of a remodel, because plain old Crono couldn't get the job done. Revamped his clothes, his basic sword stayed the same, and he got a few new weapons. His hair was shorter, he still had the grin that his opponents all learned to hate, and he had a few new magic tricks up his sleeve. After a couple wins, I went over him again, changing his clothing further and further, and his basic looks, until the only thing that would give him away were the name and hair color, and maybe the weapon for any Game Genie users out there. He lost a few weapons that were obselete, and gained his current secondary weapon, the Blood Blade...simple enough. After I got out of boot camp, I went over him again, matching him a little closer to myself. His height and weight changed slightly, I aged him a little bit, changed his basic outlook and clothing, added a few new elements to him to make him more challenging, and thought of some new attacks for him. After all this, he wasn't quite done being changed, so I added some other unique features. Jewelry, tattoos...little odds and ends, and then incorporated the Marine Corps into him a little bit. Crono's slowly been altered to match my image over the last four years, and he's not done yet. I'm always thinking of new things for him. Besides, I have yet to actually use his alter ego Kaji's transformation...it's a basic conversion from a character that is mainly mage to a character that is mainly physical. Same basic features and such, and the clothing remains the same, but his eyes, hair, tattoos, etc, change colors, his elemental alignments and abilities change. He also becomes much more powerful, physically, while losing the magical abilities he has as Crono. Crono's basically a skitzo who changes to Kaji and reverts back to himself at completely random intervals. I still haven't perfected Kaji though, so I'm not fulfilling that part of him yet. Soon, though. I've got a certain person that I'm waiting to battle that I'll be breaking him loose on. One of my main rivals in Sim Battle..

My character was based somewhat off of Drizzt Do'Urden. He made me love the Drow. The name Anyndir was the name of my Drow Fighter/Weapon Master in Neverwinter Nights: Hoardes of the Underdark. All of the weapons and stuff I created through good thought processes and common sense.

Well, oddly enough, I inspired my character. He's tall, thin, brown hair, brown eyes, and likes beanies. If I were to pose the same as my character, we would look almost exactly alike!

My newest character, Meta, was based on a creature from Red Dwarf called a polymorph. A Polymorph has the ability to change it's shape to decieve it's enemies, and it can suck emotions from living creatures. Meta can do these things but also change it's complete size by fusing with other objects in the arena

My character? Man thats my personality really. Im the cocky rich kid that looks to prove himself to the people.
Xeios
Posts: 430/2954
Now that I think of it, Everyone I fought convinced me more and more to advance Xeios. Sparda had an extremely profound effect upon me, because he was the only person, as of yet, able to beat me. My first fight I was completely trashed by him, my second fight, I stood my ground for over 145 post, then the board was wiped. I mad ethe descision to quit then and there because way too much had gone on to remember every little detail like injuries and abilities used. I was close to dying too, but I would have found a way out of the destruction that was upon me. I am not sure how much more Xeios is going to evolve, but I am sure that it will be once or twice more...
Cairoi
Posts: 104/3807
The name Cairoi was a name I though up while playing with firends. It was my third Final Fantasy:Chrystal Chronicles character. I based my main character on an online quiz. Yes, Cairoi was given birth due to a what element are you quiz.THe fact that magic was usedso much deterred me from it. I got Earth and based him soley on that and a spiffy avatar I found on the interntet.
After being massacred by Xeios in my first battle ever, I revamped my character to fix most of his flaws. I gave him control of all elements naturally on Earth, gave him a few non-Terramorphus abilities, and gave him a story. THe RP Apocolypse and Dark Trials(my own RPs) added the demonic alter-persona into Cairoi, which added more power to him. At this time, I saw my skills steadily improve. Lately, I've learned from Sparda to descibe my posts better.
Xeios
Posts: 393/2954
My character, well, my original character. XEios was pretty much inspired completely by the Matrix.

He had a different style than most in the matrix though, and I decided to make him Half Demon.

Most people in the Matrix wore black trenchcoats, my character was the opposite. A white trench coat, and white shirt and pants. Nothing special about them. He carried around two magnums, or High powered revolvers, don't really remember, and a Sawn-off-shotgun. His melee weapon was a spear. I remember using mainly the guns, and very little magic. He had short black hair, and Yellow eyes, really like those eyes. His main thing was that he had a demon sould in him, and he wasn't naturally half demon.

Xeios then evolved, with the destruction of MoD, he turned into a warrior, using a Sephiroth style sword, with very few special qualities. He gained long white hair, and kept the yellow eyes. He wore all black and a black cloak. No guns, no ranged weapons. Badass telekinisis, and Ice magic. I ditched the Demon soul thing and added the history of his father being an ice demon. He was in his second stage of...a few...This stage was the first time Sparda royally kicked my ass.

Xeios evolved again, inspired by the badassitude of Sparda. He gained further advancement of Telekinisis. Darkness and Fire magic elements were added this time around. He lost the black cloak and instead recieved a black cape. THis is when I was inspired with an honor type thing, and I put in his history that he had never taken the soul of another. The large katana became named Soulsteel.

I decided to ditch the cape, and give him a black dress shirt and a fog coat, or a british trenchcoat. He also got black dress pants, Alucard's gun, and the power over blood instead of fire. And that's about the extent of the enhancements, The power over blood opened many new doors for survival. This is when Sparda kicked my ass for the second time. The large katana changed into an awesomely huge buster-sword like weapon. At this point I also added Shinfu, which was

I ditched the coat. Gave him dual revolvers again, except not as pimpy. They are now SAA's or Peacemakers. I chose those revolvers because of the fact that I was developing a taste for westerns(just the rough, gritty style of Westerns), and that is the main gun that was used. He pretty much only recieved guns.

The newest and most recent evolution of Xeios, involved the implication of armor, a breastplate which only covers his upper right chest. Worn under his shirt. (still a dress-shirt) The implication of a pack of magical throwing cards. Soulsteel became smaller, and became the size of a long dagger. Lots of magical revampment, XEios is much better now that ever before...

I created Jaques for an RP. The people there could only do one thing, autohit. There was almost no story, so I decided to create him, and add a bit of story to all that.



His primary influence was some celtic hero who killed a dragon and bathed in its blood, giving him the armoured skin. I gave Jaques a bit more, and set him out on the battlefield!



On another forum, someone tried to train me, but whenever I did something wrong, he started cursing and flaming. Eventually he was banned, and I quit the training, proceeding to come here, relatively inexperienced. He inspired the armour.



For improvements, I got most of them from a different forum, in which I joined an RP where you gained all of the elements. So, thanks to that then I added this ability to Jaques.

_____________________________



Y-35 was basically a character I created off of HK from KOTOR. I then watched terminator 3, and was inpired by TX to add a few weapons.



Later, after fighting someone on MSN, I realised I'd need better armour, so I created his. Armour made out of copper atoms so that he would keep his color, but made so that there was no space between the atoms, therfore making him inpenatrable, and so that the only way to destroy him was unknown.

Well, well, well... I didn't get much of a influcence on people... Or maybe because I was a naughty boy who effect too much everyone else?

Well, orginially many poster mistaken my character Beowulf from FFT, the story, or something else. No relation to any one of those. My brother just made a mockery of my D&D character but I show him good. (Tee hee, I totally kick his ass like 15 times in a row.)

Probably my brother inspried my character... And maybe, I am the one who inspired the most of my own character since my imagination tend to get wild from time to time... But what I lacked is to stay with that character's history and storyline. However, I tend to love him and pretend I was semi-him. (Can't blame me, I don't like being a human through.)

I can't say Sparda or Kaijin didn't inspired me to improve him... I could say that Leon, regardless of how long he have been gone, inspired me the most since he lost the battle against me (the first time). And Elara's Jade did help here a little but what I see from her was lack of... godly-like power. And well... after a long time...

Was it like 4-6 months since my last battle? Orginially, Beowulf's last name was suppose to be Beowulf Lionheart, and I haven't began sim-fighting yet.

And by the way, I created Beowulf by mixing a demon / dragon race together.

Kaijin's Dark Ritual's were inspired by the game Evil Zone. A simplistic PS1 fighter game, with a business man who used Demonic Magic. (Cant remember his name to save my life.) So the Pentagram magic was born.








You mean Keiya. Wow I thought I was the only one that played Evil Zone.



I started of simbattling as Gaara. I used all the attacks and techniques that Gaara from Naruto used. I changed that quickly though, realizing that orginality was more effective in fights. However, I still borrowed from different techniques from different animes.



I changed my main character to Shuyin. (Taken from FFX-2's main antagonist, but bares no physical relation whatsoever.) I modeled his look off of K' from King of Fighters. But I still used jutsus from Naruto, or I would make up my own jutsus. Soon I realized that using various hand symbols in battle only slowed me down. Around this time I fought Sparda for the first time. Which was my first challenge, because before that I would just battle my friends (who were noobs at the time too.). Sparda was good, but not amazing. (He's grown alot since then.) Our match ended in a tie.



The anime Naruto really started blowing up around this time. So I decided to distance myself away from using the cliche ninja techniques. Clones,substiutions,shurikens, I abandoned them all. However, I still use a few techniques from the show. But i've changed them to fit my character more.



I fought Sparda a couple times after that. Each battle resulting with no winner. By this time I had caught on to Sparda's way of manipulating words. I quickly began twisting my attack descriptions to reach there maximum potential.



I soon created a backstory for my character. Making him the presider of pergatory. I gave three forms and used them sparingly with each battle. I gained a couple of moves influenced by Hunter X Hunter.



I've missed some gaps here and there, but that's basically how i've evolved.

I'm just gonna list a few of my 'main' characters. I have around 20, though at least half of them are relegated to minor RP roles and nothing more.

Jake: I liked the idea of a swordsman/mage character, and I combined that with my own abilities. This is where the skill with staffs came from, as well as the low physical strength, low speed, and high evasion. Then, to make up for the low physical stats, I gave him high magic abilities. As for appearance, I was originally going for a Red Mage-like look, which has gradually gotten darker; most of the time that I use him now, he's wearing a black cloak.

Tianna/Lora: Both appeared in a dream. I don't remember many of the details, though. They're my two half-sister characters, yet they're completely different; Tianna's a shadow-elemental High Mage, while Lora's a light-elemental Dragon Knight. There are other differences, so many that the only similarity is appearance...

Zenelly: From my first FFTA game. A Mog Knight named Zenelly joined my clan, and was one of the characters I brought into every battle. Slowly, I built a good character around him. He's one of my characters that, like Tianna and Jake, have been constantly changing. Appearance-wise, I changed little from the FFTA Mog Knight. Seeing one of Gywall's characters that was annoyingly similar was the main inspiration behind improving Z.

Ceru: Felt like making a Blue Mage. Wasn't feeling particularly creative, so I took the first four letters from cerulean (a shade of blue-green, IIRC) for his name; later, I decided that his whole family would wind up like that, alive or dead they'd be named after colors (Viridia, an elementalist, and Ruby, a Red Mage). Recently, I've changed his background a bit so he was previously a Holy Knight of Nirimar, one rank above Zenelly. As for appearance... I was playing FFV, and had Galuf as a Blue Mage. Figure it out from there. Quest of the Star Sword was my inspiration to improve Ceru; there weren't enough older people to make up for Jake and Tianna, so I adjusted his abilities and backstory so he'd fit in.

Eliana: One of the characters I frequently use in the RPs of others, Eliana was largely inspired by Ceru. In the original Z Files, I had it planned that Ceru would be elsewhere, but since someone that joined was using a blue mage character, I wanted to add one of my own. And so, Eliana was born. She's also a thief, since the Simbattle Board didn't have many at the time (and I think I had the only other one), so instead of using a saber like Ceru, she uses rapiers and shortswords.

I'd say more, but I'm gonna stop now before I make you all fall asleep from boredom.
