Follow-up question: if the characters still acted like their canon selves and other characters are considered for picks, how would the roster look?

Húxiān
Art by Cookie
Are they bi based on vibes?
Húxiān from Ace Combat 7 (game)
Yeah, she's bi!
I could see it
No, but she is queer
Nah, she is straight
Gimmie the results
Propaganda:
Huxian: It says that 1 in 4 people is gay. Wiseman: Definitely not me. Jaeger: Not me either. Count: I think it's Trigger, he's kinda cute.
The fox spirit is an image immortalised in numerous fictional depictions, especially in Asian tales, contemporary or traditional. This is no
A new post that’s a very brief primer into some spirits that are very close to my heart. I plan on writing more about specific elements of these spirits and their cult in the future, but this is a brief introduction that I hope makes for an interesting read nonetheless!
Ace Combat 7 - Count / Húxiān 狐仙
Done as part of a request in the ask function (To the requestor who wished to be anon - I hope that the pics turned out satisfactory!). Request was to have Húxiān hugging and spinning Count around right after the rescue helicopter brings him back to her post-Dark Blue mission. The request was also had Húxiān having a few inches on Count so he’d quite literally get swept off his feet ^^ Húxiān is tough and she’d never say she missed Count but you can bet she did.
And cos I had fun drawing this two.. I did another =x
Count: <<C’mon admit it! You missed me A LOT!>>
Húxiān: <<In your dreams! But if you make me worry like that again I’ll kill you myself next time!>>

FIRST: AU,fansession where there are “12”,(really 13) trolls based on Chinese horoscope
Oo, somehow we’ve never had anyone on this blog go through the Chinese zodiac? I think we might’ve had a few separate instances, but never a full roster, so this ought to be fun. I’m gonna try to tread lightly, but this seems like a good time.
Name:shū,i know trolls need 6 letters on each name, but im not sure for her,shū is the Chinese name of rat
Hmmm. I always feel weird picking on folk religion for names, but we use Greek/Roman deities just fine so I’ll tentatively recommend Huxian for the first name. This comes from Huīxiān, the Rat Immortal of Northeastern Chinese religion, which reflects on broader Chinese cosmology (which is why I thought to use it in the first place).
As for her last name… How about Glaber, from Naked Mole Rat. They’re remarked for their longevity and survivability in harsh climates, and it fits well with the Rat Immortal name along with the fact that reds are notoriously hard to kill.
Huxian Glaber.
Age:6 sweeps
Strife Specibus:hmm
Rats are well known for their cunning, so I think you should give her a trap-based specibus. Maybe trapkind with her specifically using sticky traps? She throws them down and then leads people into the sticky trap, so they’re stuck in glue while she runs away! Hehe.
Fetch Modus:labirynth modus,she needs to solve an labirynth and find the way to the item she wants
Maybe she has to have one of her pet rats run the maze instead of doing it herself! Just an idea.
Blood color:ugly rusty red,not like that beautyfull cherry red
Well now that’s rude- is that what she thinks of herself poor girl? )^:
Symbol and meaning:she is derse and i think she is a void hero,but im not sure about her aspect,for now she got the Chinese rat symbol and i want to mix this and her true sign
It feels a little odd to me to use just the Chinese word for rat as her symbol? Straightup using language words for symbols isn’t something Homestuck really does. I’ll try to see if I can reasonably incorporate anything with red sign language! But I’ll probably be taking most of my symbol design inspiration from Tachigami, the Rat Constellation, from the game Okami.
Trolltag:rodentTrainer
What about rodentiaCutpurse? Rodentia still references rodents, but cutpurse references her thiefy habit. Hey, maybe her rats can help her steal.
Quirk:hmm shE usヨs E’s facing on lヨft and right
I know this is probably referencing her symbol, but just in case we change that… Rats are known for their luck and such, so I think we should use her lucky numbers. She should change: Z=2, E=3, D=6, B=8. But she should also Never use 4, 5, or 9 and reverse replace those, 4=A, 5=S, and 9=Q. EX: th3 quick 8rown fox jumps ov3r the la2y 6og, 2q tim32 to 83 3xact.
Special Abilities:she is sneaky like a shadow,also she keeps live and dead rats
Oo, she could talk to the rat spirits and get them to spy for her, maybe.
Lusus: she is an rat keeper,so she may have a lot of lusii
I dunno, it seems like there’s animals outside of lusii on alternia? Like, we see Feferi keeping cuttlefish as pets! So she can probably have some pet rats but only one or two lusii… Though you saying that does make me like the idea of her lusus just being like, a Ratroyshka. Just a tiny rat piloting a bunch of other rats. Her lusus is very hard to kill because you kill it and another, slightly smaller lusus just Emerges.
Personality: she is playfull and loves to steal and sneak on weird places
Try to beef this up a little more. Is she an eavesdropper? I think she could also use a little bit of an interest in food because Rat Associations. Rats love, love, love to eat. Make sure she’s clever, too. Sneaky, good at coming up with plans, and REALLY good at escaping.
Interests:rodents,sneaking,exploring places,like your hive
Title: thief of void??
Honestly I thiiink she might have to be a life player. Rats are associated with offspring and descendants and that’s a major part of why they’re not only In the chinese zodiac, but also the FIRST one in the chinese zodiac. They’re the progenitor, the beginning. Rats are also associated with plentiful food, and abundant, indulgent food is a common life theme in homestuck. Rats are also associated with energy, adaptability, which are also common life themes in homestuck.
I think I might place her as a Rogue of Life? She’s a passive allocator, someone who moves and obtains, redistributes sneakily and behind the scenes. Being a trainer kind of helps this, she moves and transfers around the developmental energy for the good of all her little rat friends. In the grander scheme of things, like in the game, it would allow her to transfer developmental energy and lifeforce between her teammates. She could take life energy from herself in order to heal her teammates, or she could take life energy from enemies for the same purpose. Or she could mass LARGE amounts of life energy onto herself in order to make herself very unkillable. Her inverse would be Knight of Doom, which would allow her to use structures and inevitability as a weapon against people when she took life out of the equation.
Land:hmm
How about the Land of Generations and Ancients. The denizen is stealing the lifeforce from the consorts around him and so the consorts all age, live, and die very quickly. Huxian steps down on planet and within the first day watches an entire generation die. She has to figure out what the heck the denizen is doing and stop him, redistribute the lifespan to the consorts of the planet. And then she has to exploit the denizen’s new weakness and give him a good ol’ stab.
Dream Planet:derse
Since she doesn’t have any themes of dissatisfaction or hiding herself, I think she reads more as prospit! This would theoretically make her sign Arsci, the Medic, but I’m gonna be adapting several symbols together for her instead of just this one.
Design:
Horns: I didn’t want to get rid of the ribbons or the rat ear look despite changing her hair, so I made her horns rat-ear shaped and put ribbons around those.
Hair: I wanted her hair a bit messy- hair that’s messed up is often called a rat’s nest! I also gave her a rat-tail braid.
Face: Rats have those big shiny eyes, so I gave her huge pupils. Her smile can’t have sharp teeth, since rusts are shown having blunt or nubby teeth.
Jacket/scarf/shirt: I edited these from Jade’s squiddle outfit and Eridan’s scarf respectively. The Rat Zodiac’s associated season is winter, so I thought it made sense for her to dress like it was winter- that’s probably something I’ll keep in mind with all of your trolls. For that reason, I also gave her a regular top instead of a tanktop.
Pants/shoes: Her bottoms were edited from Terezi. The shoes are meant to have little buttons on them to continue the mildly wintery look!
Symbol: I took the circle from Arsci/Tachigami. On top I added the wings from Tachigami’s eyeliner, and on bottom I added the drop lines from the symbol you originally gave her!
Thank you for sharing. I look forward to getting to the rest of these kids.
