"Tirnanog Online" a short-lived attempt at an original trapped in a game story, but I'm not skilled at the kind of subtlety and psychological elements I wanted to include, it would have been a fic or askblog with fake game screenshots while Hikari found more weird goings on and shell companies owned by shell companies owned by long dead Irish royals and mythical figures.
A character lineup of all the finished character designs I've made that belong to the Old Frontier setting as well as some prop and mechanic design sketches
About a month back I had a dream about this bonkers anime that was like Fooly Cooly, Bayonetta, Heaven's Lost Property and MegaMan Zero thrown in a blender.
It was super queer (big surprise subconscious) and had a tone whiplash combo of the most generic 'sexy anime male gaze' fanservice and esoteric robotfucker "this isn't fanservice to most people and to the rest of them it's flat out porn" fanservice.
The main robot was being hunted by angel robots and might have been actual angels? They made a random nearby machine into a weapon arm about once an episode. The Garbage person/audience stand in had a different gender/aesthetic every other scene but was definitely just one character.
Most of the time I'm willing to tank my bad taste in videogame romance options because my excellent taste balances it out, but I feel the need to explain my first rune factory 4 marriage, Amber.
Amber is the freaking Nowi fire emblem of rune factory, looks and acts very childish, further upsets me over all the other women throughout rune factory that should be marriageable but aren't.
But I need it to be known that the 3DS version is buggy, and my first copy I suspect came from an attempted hacker/modder because the jank goes above and beyond what other people talk about being the norm. Every 2 or 3 days in my first copy people would say Kiel's birthday was tomorrow for a start. I brought Amber to town in my playthrough a day or two before the de fluffing festival and found Her kink shaming the wooly hilarious, so I started talking to her daily while attempting to romance Forte in hopes of more jabs when, at all of half of one heart, Amber's marriage requirement event started playing the first couple cutscenes about as frequently as I was told about Kiel's birthday.
The result was that, I got the highly inaccurate impression that Amber's character was "Snarky cynic with a temper who puts on a fake cutesy persona to meet people's expectations and has a mysterious secret they regularly leave town in the middle of the night over."
When I got the special edition on the switch I was thrown for one heck of a loop.
My 3DS copy also had glitched bamboo shoots that could sometimes be harvested multiple times and the rest of the time disappeared when hit with the hoe like dead weeds, but that doesn't have anything to do with my taste in women.
More SAO zoids
Yui is a zoidian who the main characters find in an abandoned laboratory. She can talk to Zoids and appear on video displays without a camera, the team thought they were being haunted at first but quickly grew fond of her.
Agil and his wife are retired Zoid fighters who run a cafe that's popular with up and coming pilots as well as veterans.
Klein is a minor league fighter who kept trying to recruit Kirito, and is under the impression that he is their mentor.
Sinon works as a trapper, hunting wild Zoids to sell to fighters and research labs. She refuses to enter the cockpit of any Zoid but her custom command Wolf, Hecate. Fought alongside Kirito in a non-league battle once, but hesitates to join their team.
Argo is an information broker and corporate espionage expert, travels the country in her savinga.
Fukaziroh is a zoid battle reporter, and occasional member of PML. Pilots a Dibison that has had all its weapons but the missile pods replaced with grenade launchers.
And a Koharu+saber lion with a Sweet+parablade because this stuff already only appeals to me so I might as well go all in.
SAO but Zoids, more of a new century setup, Nascar meets gladiator system.
Information on specific character/Zoid combos after the read more.
Asuna is a high ranking pilot from the dominating team in the major league of zoid battles, KOB, but worries that her parents money and resources could be influencing her wins and starts moonlighting in the minor league to prove her skills. Her partner is a Lanstag that has been passed down in the Yuuki family for generations.
Kirito left his adoptive home and set out in the Blade Liger he was found in as a toddler, joining MBC, a minor league zoid team run by a group of lifelong friends and zoid enthusiasts. His skills as a pilot lead to a rapid rise in the ranks and he became very close with his doubles partner, Sachi, but an accident during a match resulted in Sachi being hospitalized. Kirito was unable to forgive himself and left without even learning if she survived.
Kayaba is the team captain of KOB, as well as the head of their R&D department. The Yuuki Conglomerate have been using the Zoids battle league to develop military Zoids for a potential future war but Kayaba seems focused on limiting or removing the separation between zoid and pilot. Mainly pilots a modified Sturm Tyrann.
Kuradeel is a mid ranked fighter in KOB, who pilots a Sword Wolf. If there was a ranking of Creepiest major league pilots he would be in the top 10.
Silica has a zoid, but is not a fighter. After getting lost in the forest outside her hometown she met Pina, her best friend and a zoid of indeterminate model or species.
Lisbeth is a travelling Zoid mechanic and Asuna's close friend. Her Gustav and Camper trailer have become the unofficial headquarters of Asuna and Kirito's as yet unnamed minor league team.
Sachi was never fond of zoid battles, but the lack of steady non combat work for Zoid pilots led to her and her friends starting the MBC. Formerly piloted a Rev Raptor.
Team PML is made up of pilots who could have been on par with KOB in the majors, but constant personal drama and repeated breakups and reunions leave them in the minors.
Llenn pilots a custom Leostriker, and is known for jettisoning her armor to rush opponents at incredible speed. Exclusively pilots small and micro scale Zoids and rarely talks to reporters.
Pitohui is known for using a wide variety of Zoids, but has recently favored a Liger Zero. Hasn't been reached for comment or photographed.
M is left picking up the slack for PML PR, and seems to be the most long suffering of the team, though he is the one member of the team to have never quit or joined a competing team. Used to pilot a Cannon Tortoise, but when Pitohui debuted her Liger Zero he switched to a heavily modified Iron Kong that serves to carry and swap Her Liger's CAS units.
Tokusatsu MegaMan sketches
A 3D brawler/Warriors style game concept where you are a wolf girl from space fighting bug monsters and trying to hit it off with a girl from the planet you crashed on.
I'm fond of oversized puppy type characters, but couldn't think of any hooks or a proper structure so I shelved it.

Alfheim, Sword Art:Origin, and Gun Gale Online player and Koharu designs
Don't remember posting this before, My main Cyberpunk V, Corpo Drunk who solves every problem with gorilla arms and falls back on the corporate doublespeak and backstabbing any time things get too tough.
Cyberpunk was the first game where I actually had fun playing a bad person, helped that I bought it for a song after they patched a lot of the issues but before the anime made people give it a second chance.
Replayed SAO Hollow Fragment, started getting ideas about sort of folding characters and elements from Integral Factor into the main game canon.
More character concepts/storylines for my furry sci fi shipwreck setting.
if I had the skills to make games I think they'd suit a MegaMan legends ripoff with a grappling hook/claw shot twist.
sao abridged mutuals pls maybe???????
hi i'm taylor and i'm an sao + sao abridged fan who's looking for more sao abridged blogs to follow?? (idc if you're multifandom this blog also turns into a multifandom mess sometimes lmao)
anyway pls like/reblog this post and follow me if you wanna and i'll follow back <3
Considering further tweaking of Cerulia to kind of retrofit them into a fursona.
The grey color scheme would be easiest to dress up/make stuff for but I'd need a new name, the confusion and psychic chip damage of getting called "Gamer PC" would do me in and Cerulia makes less sense the less blue is in the design.
"Tirnanog Online" a short-lived attempt at an original trapped in a game story, but I'm not skilled at the kind of subtlety and psychological elements I wanted to include, it would have been a fic or askblog with fake game screenshots while Hikari found more weird goings on and shell companies owned by shell companies owned by long dead Irish royals and mythical figures.
Trying to come up with an abridged variant for my SAO survivor/Integral Factor character and Koharu, currently running with "Foreigner who signed up for SAO using Google translate and only vaguely understands why they can't log out" and "Keeps them around/out of the loop as a human therapy dog"
Is this anything?
Here's a couple of transformers fan characters, one new and one rework of an old design.
Thrashtrap is a goliath tiger fish/ giant water bug fuzor, and an ambush specialist. They are silent, stoic, and unquestionably loyal in bot mode, but a feral danger to anything that wanders near their jaws in alt mode. Gets the job done, but has eaten waspinator at least once.
Defib is an old Prime fan character, a field medic who isn't as good a doctor as Ratchet, or as inventive and charismatic as Knockout. Often heard calling their work "good enough" under their breath before sending a bot back into the fray. Defib will rush into active combat zones laying down their own cover fire to try and reach injured autobots, scolding them for wasting energon while completing a spot weld, though they can never manage to meet the eyes of bots too far gone for their meager medical skill.

SAO is moving back into the main fixation spot of my brain, made designs for the entire span of aincrad for SWEET/ my integral factor character.
I know that logistically they'd be swapping out gear almost every floor but I'm thankfully not "draw 70 minor variations on a theme" levels of obsessed.
Tokusatsu MegaMan sketches
A couple more drawings based on that "robot catgirl vs. Heaven" dream from a while back, I thought it would be neat if angels hacked her back when she tried to make arms out of them since they came from the same place
Another set of Old Frontier characters, this time the underlying inspiration was "Holocure meets Azure Dreams"
Player character would have a gender slider that changes nothing but dialogue pronouns, maybe the image of them would black out and reload, so it seems like it's a different image despite being identical?

Witch's Knight stuff again, and the oldest stuff I have access to for the other witch-knight pairs
Happy Birthday Mackenzie Hunt
