a very narrative-focused game music video about Kokoro (featuring Helena Douglas) from DOA, set to 'Lily' from Guilty Gear Xrd -Sign-. a gift for @cel-dmg, because Kokoro is my blorbo-in-law now thanks to him! [contains spoilers for DOA4, DOA5 and DOA6!]

The narrative I wanted to tell with this GMV is the tragedy behind Kokoro in that she is very unaware of the big picture that she's standing 3 feet away from. She doesn't know the dark truth of DOATEC and M.I.S.T., mostly because her mother, Miyako, and Helena Douglas have kept her in the dark. While its understandable they want to protect her, they are doing just as much harm by not telling the truth. It's just a real bummer we'll mostly likely never get a DOA7 continuation because I'd be so interested in seeing Kokoro confront her mother, trying to get real answers and her reaction to said answers afterwards. I swear Dead or Alive, is in fact a little bit deep.

In making this video, some of it is my own recorded footage (only really the DOA4 footage), however the cut-scenes from DOA5 and DOA6 is not my footage, instead they were created by the following:

POOL LIMBO: TW ANIMAL DEATH (AGAIN)

you are at the bottom of a swimming pool. chlorine and all, nobody else is here. the pool goes down pretty deep, not bottomless but it's not shallow either. there's no way in or out that's easy but you don't need it, you can breathe under water for whatever reason. nice. you know how this story goes: God is in the bottom of a swimming pool. you're ready for it. you've got a cigarette to smoke with It but of course the water extinguishes it. so you're just waiting. you know It's gonna come down here eventually.

after forever you hear the sound of someone jumping in. and you're acting all coy, looking away, thinking finally you fucking showed up. and you're turning around ready to look at It. and it's a rabbit.

a rabbit? why the fuck is a rabbit here? you try to ask it a few questions but it starts drowning. so you pick it up with your palms and paddle in the water holding the rabbit. if you falter the rabbit is going to die. it's not jumping it's not moving it's not comatose.

the longer you hold the rabbit the more you question letting it die. but you feel the fur of it and it gets your brain thinking. this rabbit feels like the first person i held hands with. this rabbit feels like the heartbeat of my first ever pet. this rabbit this rabbit this rabbit. why do you care? why do you care? why don't you let it die?

maybe one day you decide to. and so you do. the rabbit dies brutally and painfully and you feel like shit but hey at least the rabbit is gone.

and then you look at the bottom of the pool and there are a bunch of pennies. endless, endless pennies.

you thought you were dealing with big stakes, here. thinking about God but you were just holding up a rabbit. now there are a bunch of coins.

what were you expecting? what do the coins mean?

you tried to spite God. you wanted a reward for it. you wanted something out of it. you killed God and you wanted something out of it.

but it's just pennies. that's your reward. you killed a rabbit whose corpse is still floating and rotting, and now you've got pennies.

this is an adapted version the story went differently before but i like this a bit more. not outright horrific but there's something to it!

hi mare i hope you know i’m kind of speechless over this. this is really fucking compelling, actually. pennies and rabbits are both symbols of luck, in a way, but what the fuck is luck anyways because you’re fucking dead, huh? this is literally a piece of poetry thank you for this

OH? DID I HEAR DND OC? curious about class and race ofc but also like what kind of area are they from? :O -mare

WOOO!! ty mare you are a life saver. They are a rogue bronze half dragon!! He originates from a large(30k+) coastal city named Windrose. There's a pretty prevalent thieves guild there that he accidentally got wrapped up in at 15,indebting him to them till he's payed off his debt(payed off in their eyes is basically never but. Ya gotta keep hoping.)because of this he distanced himself from his family to keep them safe and is basically always travelling doing tasks for the guild anyways.

More abt the town:

More about the town: the name originates from the dragon who founded it, someone many claim to be descended from. Windrose, a bronze dragon with shifting abilities. Her being bronze is important because they alone have the ability to breath underwater and stuff(coastal town) she's worshipped as a deity now, a couple thousand years after the towns conception. Most of the market and trade is propelled by the fishing industry and the show bizz that comes with high population. One of the biggest tourist attractions is professional fire dancing shows on the black sand beaches of the southern coast, where luminescent algae provides a perfect late night backdrop. The theatre scene in the inner city, where naefthren grew up, is huge. Children participate in school musicals multiple times a year, street performers everywhere, etc. It's a generally well balanced and run place. The symbol is a red rose in full bloom held by a reptiltian claw.

The fashion industry is fascinating to outsiders a lot of the time, and has influence on surrounding areas. Most people that live on the beach/close to it don't wear a top or just sheer fabric regardless of gender due to the heat, and skirts with separate shorts underneath(for quick changing as many people work with water) are the most popular bottoms. But as you go further inland the clothing gets more modest. Wrap around sheer fabric used in many ways (around the waist, in the hair, layered to opaqueness as a shirt) and neutral cotton under clothing(like that one white european shirt everyone draws cranboo in)is the most seen style. Children wear light pastel gowns till their 7th birthday. Special occasions call for very light gowns or just general airy clothing most of the time, many thin layers, and softly curving monochromatic body paint. Tattoos are encouraged once someone hits 20. Jewelry is often pearl adorned or glass made from the black sand, gold is rare and highly valued.

The population is majority humans, half elves, and half dragons, though obviously that's not all there is. (Many influential figures are rumored to be full dragons shifted, but only like 2/300 celebrities slash political figures actually are)

The thieves guild there is unnamed to the public, so most hear whispers of them just as 'the bramble' and if you ever wake up with a wilting rose on your knightstand you know you either need to evacuate or prepare your funeral. It's an underlying sickness in the bright and salt smelling town. But, they have so much influence that you can't really get rid of them.

The government is a democratic oligarchy, with a representative house that actually passes or vetos the laws.

30 + 50!!!! 💕

30. Your house is on fire, holy shit! You have just enough time to run in there and grab ONE inanimate object. Don’t worry, your loved ones and pets have already made it out safely. So what’s the one thing you’re going to save from that blazing inferno?

I’ve actually thought about this a lot and I would grab a ceramic bowl that was my grandmothers last present to my mother

50. What is the most unusual conversation you’ve ever had?

It was about a “The Giving Tree” AU where all the characters were replaced by walruses. Including the tree.

yet another kokoro gmv set to 2NE1's Hate You because I know @cel-dmg loves kpop so i decided to put two and two together! i know 2NE1 is a more old school kpop group that isn't around anymore but you can't go wrong with the older classics.

this gmv is a semi-sequel to this narrative one i made not too long ago. just as mentioned before, this gmv is more lighthearted in tone.

nothing real deep to this one other than kokoro has surprisingly unique tag team moves in doa5: last round which are very fun to pull off and i kinda wanted to show some of that off a little. also unfortunately re-using some footage again, mostly because there is not much cut-scene footage of kokoro to work with despite how as mentioned in the last gmv i made about her, she's literally standing 3 feet away from the main plot. fingers crossed NG4 is successful enough we get a surprise doa7 or doa dimenions remake shdfhds.

All of the gameplay footage from DOA4-DOA6 is my own, including any cut-scenes from DOA4. The footage that isn't mine is the doa5 and doa6 cut-scenes:

thanks to @cel-dmg, Kokoro is now an official blorbo-in-law now /gen, lighthearted.

Also photo mode with tag team in DOA5 is very fun.
