User blog:40DagreezKelvin/Dawn of the Equinox Update 3

This update is merely an art update as I've updated the looks of all the characters. Not everyone's changes were drastic, some where quite minimal. My goal was to give everyone a more 'battle-orientated' design.

(Havok) Rusty: Not a big change from his current look. He wears more of his hair down and sports a long-sleeved shirt under his vest that is black with a yellow stripe, the opposite of his vest. Recon: His boots got a slightly more techno look and his gauntlets are upgraded to the Mark II version, "The Peacekeepers" Jay: The biggest redesign of his team, he got new boots, clothes and the shape of the feathers on his forehead and back of his head have been altered.

(Hope) Aynoa: Almost no changes aside from her Nuero-Enhancement gear. Her boots and gloves have been update to the Mark II version as well. Heather: Full outfit change to reflect her status as the current Queen of the Lycato. She wears a white tunic like shirt with green trimming and a red sash around the waist, burgundy pants, gold bracelets, and one-finger gloves. The head of her spear is also different Monica: She wears a red, gi-like combat dress with black leggings underneath. She keeps her signature Vans shoes, but now pulls her hair into a bun.

(Blade) Kibo: His hair is a little longer and his jacket it a bit updated. Besides this, relatively similar. Kevin: Has an updated vest and wears a long sleeved t-shirt with a gear on it underneath. Kennedy: Has a new white jacket that's inspired by the one Kyo wears in KOF 14.

(SHARP) Speeder: The most anatomically drastic change. I have given her two arms and 6 legs rather then the 4 arms and 4 legs, just to make her look a bit more 'spider-like.' Her hairstyle has also changed a bit Annabelle: Has been given a vest, gloves, and new boots, but for the most part still close to the original. Bolts: Her hairstyle is changed a bit and she has a new belt and wears sandals. Nut has evolved and has a more leafy appearance along with a few nods to his owner's design.

(Fates) Scorn: Relatively unchanged, besides the fact that his chest fur now resembles Silver's more then Shadow's Kyanna: Her new outfit takes several nods from the iconic outfit Rogue wears in X-Men with a body suit underneath a bomberman jacket. Esmerelda: A complete redesign due to her reverting back to her Emberman state. She is now purple with black hair. Her new costume has several nods to Zornelle's outfit and she has short spiky hair rather than the long flowing braid. She has a more punk-like outfit, has her Emberman horn back, and sports an Eye of the Emberman necklace.

Onto the next topic: character origins. As I've said before, I want to remain as close to everyone's source material as I can. Of course, with this being a 'non-canon' fan project, there has to be a few changes to make everything work within the given world. So here's the most basic, spoiler-free summary of those changes.

Everyone lives on Planet Destony, which is the planet right next to Mobius. Kevin and Kibo live and train on The Road of Myths, which is located in Edrea (The Eternal Legends Zone). Kennedy is actually from Mobius but now lives on Destony since this is where all the Chaos Emeralds currently are. He has recently taken up the position of Guardian of the Chaos Emeralds. Annabelle and Speeder are now-graduated high school friends. Bolts went to the same school but didn't personally know the other two. They all live in Grandopolis. Rusty and co now pilot Aynoa's ship, the Thundercharm, and work as a vigilante group.

This story takes place after the events of the New Beginnings Timeline, so if you are unfamiliar with that, go give it a read because most of Team Havok and Team Hope's character come from this.
