Curate, connect, and discover
So three of the people in Colony Delta are Blades. I know most Blades in Xenoblade 3 are just kind of generic and don't really show any connections to the Blade elements from 2 (I think the only exceptions are Sena, Nimue, and Cammuravi). I gave the Delta Blade trio elements because I think it'd be cool but I'm not sure how to show that in their designs.
Thea: She's the main OC in this project so she really needs to stand out like the heroes in game. She's an electric Blade. I've heard lightning can leave some neat patterns where it strikes so that could be used as the pattern for her ether lines, but I'm afraid of seeing how those marks would look on real people since I'm worried those images might look too gruesome (I'm weak).
Hilda: She's a dark Blade. Thinking about giving her some kind of space theme, but I don't have much more than that.
Ulrich: He's a wind Blade. Looked at Blades from Xenoblade 2 for inspiration and like half of the wind Blades there aren't even close to looking human. Some bird traits would be the easy thing to do but that might make him look too much like a High Entia.
