OC Character Sheet: Rogues of Ronin

Share

This is something I've been working on for a while now, and I'm pretty excited to show it. I owe a huge thanks to @Palindronev2, Revellion and my friend George for all their help during the creation of these characters. Go check them all out and give them some appreciation! I also owe a big thanks to a professor of mine for giving me such great feedback and advice. None of these characters would be as good as they are without all the guidance I got along the way.


Lightning Rider (real name: Eddie) is the ghost of a death row inmate sent to the electric chair. In life, Eddie Simmons was the bloodthirsty leader of a savage biker gang. His only regret when he was caught and quickly sent to be executed was how few people he'd killed, how many more he'd murder if given the chance. In an ironic twist of fate, Eddie got his wish. Returning to the world of the living as a vengeful spirit hell-bent on causing as much chaos as possible, Lightning Rider uses his unique ghostly physicality and his ability to generate and manipulate electricity to cause as much destruction as he can.

Lightning Rider seeks to kill and destroy without meaning, just as(if not more) cruelly as he did in his mortal life.


Shift (real name: Satya) is a cat burglar who can become intangible. She's incredibly agile, using her smaller stature and phasing abilities to make it impossible for anyone to catch her. Her MO is humbling those with excessive wealth and getting away with it, breaking into their homes and taking priceless items. She goes after centerpieces in particular. Some she pawns for money, but she actually throws away most of what she steals. Like a less charitable Robin Hood, she's not focused on redistributing wealth, but on making the wealthy feel insecure.

Ultimately, Shift just likes screwing with people.


Vulcan (real name unknown) wears a suit that allows him to generate fire, often in the form of fireballs and jets of flame. He can propel himself through the skies and even engulf himself in flame like the Human Torch(albeit more dangerously, since the suit is completely fireproof, but he isn't). He can't manipulate the fire he creates, so no forming constructs.

Vulcan prides himself on his unwavering loyalty, selling services as a bounty hunter and even a mercenary.


I'm really, really proud of these designs, and I hope that you like them! Be sure to tell me what you think of them, ask questions, and leave feedback down below! I'm looking forward to hearing what you say.

Big thanks to you all again!

Wow! I really love the burnt chest of Eddie showing his skeleton (a thing I hate to see how forgotten is in Ghost Rider sometimes) and how simple but yet cool the armor of Vulcan looks, the yellow inserts and the visor are awesome!
Shift looks cool as well but, no offence here, it's a bit "plain", I get the "stealth and swift" vibe she has as a background but she lack something to me... but maybe it's because I don't really like "phasing guys" (with the exception of Kitty Pride) so she didn't piqued my interest like the other two.

I’m so glad you like them, and that you appreciate the details! I really enjoyed making these designs, to know that they’re being appreciated makes me indescribably proud.
I’m also really glad that you’re honest! Constructive, honest feedback helps me to grow and improve! It was definitely my intention to make her very plain—I figured that not having an ostentatious costume would make it so that she’s harder to see and this catch. But maybe I did it too much, and made her too bland. But against Lightning Rider, I figure anyone would look bland lol

Thank you so much for everything, man! Always a pleasure to hear from you, your kind words always bring joy to my day.

Nice designs. Vulcan and Lightning Rider are especially strong designs.

HeartisttheArtist responds:

Thank you so much, I’m really glad you like them! I had a lot of fun with those two in particular.

Oh we got villains now!

They all look really amazing! All of their designs are super unique, and I'm excited to see how they will impact your story

HeartisttheArtist responds:

We do indeed!

Thank you so much, I’m really glad to hear so! I look forward to showing them more.
