You’re thinking of Safari. Sephora is an informal term for the seven-week period of counting the days between Pesach and Shavuot in the Jewish calendar.
You’re thinking of Sefiras. Sephora is a bright blue gemstone best known for combining with Ruby to create Garnet and lead the Crystal Gems, training Pokemon, and/or assisting Steel to fight against time’s intrusions into our realm.
No no no guys, you’re thinking of Sif. Sephora is a venereal disease that turns your brain to swiss cheese, going so far as to destroy external features like the nose. Famous gangster Al Capone suffered from sephora.
ignore how none of them have voice claims or kingdom logos. that's a problem for another time lmao
character intro template was made by someone on discord and edited a bit by me :3
anyway, these losers
An air-headed knight who always has his head in the clouds, though he’s loyal nonetheless! As Kyupi can only be seen by those with a ‘pure heart,’ Riku shows that without a doubt. He aims to make people just as happy as Kyupi does for others. When he’s not busy with his duties as a knight, he’s either in CHOBOT Kingdom bothering his best friend Otto or practicing his tarot card readings (with questionable accuracy).
An overachiever who feels the pressure of needing to succeed and prove himself in order to keep up with his older siblings. Otto is cold, quiet, and very straightforward about what he’s thinking. He is stubborn and tends to suppress his emotions, feeling as though he needs to take on everything on his own without any help. Over time, with the help of his friends, he learns to open up to people and that it’s okay to not be able to handle things on his own and ask for help. He is often bothered by Riku, especially when he’s trying to work on his robotics projects, but Riku knows just how to get on his good side (a sweet treat).
An athletic and loud knight that’s always full of energy in order to keep up with his Lord. Gaoren is always up for a challenge, though he can get a little overly competitive at times. Despite his loud exterior, he tries his best to be a shoulder to lean on for others and to cheer up and motivate them.
Gaoren is childhood friends with Mintan, though they lost touch during their youth after Mintan left one day without notice. As a child, he was quiet and quite the crybaby, but Mintan was always there to comfort him and cheer him up. The two of them made a promise to become knights to protect each other, but after Mintan left without a warning, he was absolutely devastated. After months of waiting in hopes for Mintan to return, he gave up hope and decided he couldn’t mope around any longer, continuing to follow through with his plans of becoming a knight. During this time, he pushed himself to become more cheerful and a source of comfort for others, the same way that Mintan had been for him. Eventually, the two of them reunite much later than either of them had hoped for and continue to fulfill the promise the two of them had once made to protect each other.
A sly yet lazy knight who always shows up where you least expect him to. Chaian is great at reading others and knowing how people are feeling to the point that it’s pretty much impossible to hide a secret from him. He also loves hearing gossip from both his own kingdom and other kingdoms as well. He can be a bit of a flirt at times and enjoys playfully teasing his fellow knights (but if anyone did the same to him, he would get too embarrassed to function properly).
A soft-spoken and sleepy knight who works himself to his limit by taking care of his kingdom and others. Mintan is always willing to lend a hand to others, even if he already has a lot on his plate. Due to his overly generous nature, he struggles to find a sense of identity outside of helping others.
Mintan is childhood friends with Gaoren, though they lost touch during their youth after Mintan left one day without notice. As a child, he was fairly loud and energetic, always willing to lend a hand or be a shoulder to cry on for others, especially Gaoren. The two of them made a promise to become knights to protect each other, but Mintan had to abruptly leave in order to help take care of his family. He couldn’t even bear the thought of how distraught Gaoren would be if he were to tell him that he had to leave, so he refrained from doing so and left without warning. He was much later taken up by Hummingmint to be her knight because of his great compassion for others. Even with his duties as a knight, he still feels the need to take care of anyone he can since that’s all he knew growing up. Eventually, he and Gaoren reunite much later than either of them had hoped for and continue to fulfill the promise the two of them had once made to protect each other.
An easygoing and hardworking knight who is dedicated to improving the lives of ROBOW@N Kingdom’s citizens with the use of technology. Bowan finds that even though the kingdom is known for its technology, they seem to be a little behind the times. Updating all the tech in the kingdom would be no easy task, so he believes that improving what tech they currently have would greatly benefit and improve the lives of the kingdom's citizens.
that's about it for these losers (for now). i have lots of doodles and other stuff but i won't post that all yet :]
if you are that interested tho, i have a google drive with everything i've made with them, but i'll also post all that stuff here eventually
Any chance you can do a tutorial or give advice on how to use the open plugin for things like open jackets etc ? Whenever I search for something it just seems to bring up skirt plugin in and not anything about the open plugin
anon... there's no such thing as open plugin.... what you're looking for really is the skirt plugin.....
BUT FRET NOT, I SHALL GIVE A SIMPLE EXPLANATION ON HOW TO USE IT FOR OPEN JACKETS!
this will require some knowledge on operating the plugin AND making physics adjustments!
(this will not cover adjusting the rigid bodies parameters and joints values)
1) select the parts of the vertex mesh you want to rig with the skirt plugin. i highly recommend enabling the wireframe or weight mode too so you can see better when placing the weight anchors later on
2) load the skirt plugin, and do your usual thing with it.
(you can always apply the changes with [Initialize] even if you have already placed your weight anchors!)
3) head to [Advanced] tab, in [Face Setting], change from [Close Face] to [Open Face], after that apply the changes to start placing the weight anchors.
4) what you'll see after that is something like this (the weight anchors are all in straight line instead of 3d form if you get what i mean). you'll have 5 columns of the weight anchors.
5) when placing the weight anchors, despite choosing [Open-Face], you still need to think like 3d. so you'll have 1st and 5th columns being in the front, 2nd and 4th columns being in the sides, while the 3rd column being in the back.
you can arrange them like a star shape (you don't need to worry about the rotations, just moving the weight anchors is enough)
6) apply the arrangement and you should get sth like this!
also if you're a fool like me and somehow refuses to replace the broken plugin that comes together with Inochi-PM's eng PMXE, you can simply resize the horizontal joints with [Object Editor]
and if the rigid bodies also come out the same, just do the same thing too.
don't forget to make sure everything's properly connected!
8) and that's pretty much it! you still need to do your usual physics adjustments ofc, but that's how you can use the skirt plugin to rig meshes that aren't fully cylindrical!
