The Witch

A hero that has tapped into powerful natural currents and elements of the world, The Witch has had dark truths revealed to them for this price of power. Can you navigate the ladder of power whilst avoiding the dangers the climb risks?

The Witch has themes and inspirations from H.P Lovecraft, Dr. Who and Isaac Asimov while its mechanics take after The Sailor Scouts, Sora from Kingdom Hearts, the Crest Wielders of Fire Emblem: Three Houses and even Tony Tony Chopper from One Piece with powerful Transformations and moves inspired by classic Table Top spells.

The Ace

Some might call you a muscle head, a brute or even a bully what with your eagerness to tussle and fight but they don't really get it. You've never been good with words, you've only been able to express yourself through actions and sometimes those actions are a knuckle sandwich. But it might just be a silver lining now that you're in the hero business because a lot of people need a punch or two, least of all your Adversary. 

The Ace is based primarily on the drama and themes of Shonen Manga, specifically the protagonist of such and the various rivals they hold throughout their various series such as Ichigo and Byakuya from Bleach, Naruto and Sasuke from Naruto and Goku and classic rival Vegeta from Dragon Ball.

The Ronin

You were a protege at one point, or something approaching it, until disaster struck. Something happened to your would-be mentor, or they simply no longer required your services and you found yourself on your own. Society doesn't look kindly on those tossed aside or unable to help those who were offering their help in the first place, The Ronin now only really able to rely on their own talents, their team and a whole lot of luck.

The Ronin's themes center around abandonment and stigmatization on a social level as well as self reliance and found family. As well, The Ronin deals with luck and the fickleness of fortune. The Ronin is inspired by famous Ronin of media such as Mugen from Samurai Champloo, Miyamoto Usagi from the classic comic Usagi Yojimbo, Ogami Itto from Lone Wolf and Cub and even the futuristic Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bepop.
