a character in “Fusion Fantasy Neo”, as played by MrAuthor3DS

Description

Name:
VALENTIN -Regnimalis-

The Dreams We Left Behind - Skullgirls
Image




Age: 17

Gender: Male

Specie: Forest ferran




Physical Description: A humanoid yellow fox clad in only dark-colored shorts, boots, gloves, and backpack. He belt has two holsters for secondary weapons. On his right arm is a wristlet with two colored beads - one red, one blue.

Personality: A "big brother" kind of fox. He looks out for those close to him and will do whatever it takes to help them out. His typically-cheerful attitude quickly dissolves when he witnesses any signs of impending war.

History: Few know the tragedies of war at the comfort of home quite like Valentin. The war from 13 years ago rendered him an orphan on the streets, and another war 10 years after practically leveled his home city. He's been training himself as a fighter and later as a thief to gather money, so that his city can be rebuilt. He happened to come across Saelph - after going through a few spars together, they bonded like brothers. But even this couldn't prepare Valentin for the chaos that was about to unfold...

Equipment: He fights unarmed, so his primary weapons are technically his gloves and boots. However, he keeps some secondaries close on hand, favoring daggers, throwing items, and spellguns (they recharge with magic charges instead of metal bullets).

Abilities: He's an expert in thievery, but has also emulated the aura training of one temple's monks. So, in addition, he can channel his own aura for many powerful attacks. He can even steal an opponent's weapon and use it against him/her. Knowing how the weapon works is the trick here, though.

Other: N/A


Specific Moves
  • Stamina Steal: Grabs a foe, stealing some of his/her stamina through aura osmosis.
  • Quickfoot: Quickly sprints around foe, evading attacks in the process.
  • Health Steal: Strikes a foe and uses aura osmosis to steal health.
  • Hey, Look!: Casts out a spark that somehow distracts foes, making them turn towards it in unexplainable curiosity.
  • Jitter Spark: Rapid-fires small explosive orbs of aura.
  • Shear Chop: Advances forth with an aura-coated hand chop. Cuts through projectiles.
  • Blue Dragon: Rises upward in a spiral punch of aura. Braces against attacks.
  • Sacrifice: Can channel his own health to others or to special energy.
  • (Dagger) Knife Flurry: Delivers rapid strikes with the dagger.
  • (Dagger) Cutting Edge: Charges up, then rushes through foes with the dagger.
  • (Dagger) Flip Strike: Front-flips forward and attacks with the dagger.
  • (Dagger) Flip Escape: Back-flips away while attacking with the dagger.
  • (Throwing) Item Toss: Throws one of whatever throwing item he's using.
  • (Throwing) Upper Curve: Throws an item in a rising curve.
  • (Throwing) Falling Arc: Throws an item overhead, curving downward.
  • (Throwing) Triple Throw: Throws three of an item in a fanned-out pattern.
  • (Spellgun) Quickdraw: Fires magic shots from the spellgun.
  • (Spellgun) Barrage Rush: Jogs forth while firing several times with the spellgun.
  • (Spellgun) Spell Rain: Fires a spellgun shot upward, making it explode into multiple shots that rain down.
  • (Spellgun) Rebound Shot: Fires a spellgun shot that ricochets toward the target.
  • Weapon Theft: Special Thief skill, letting Valentin swipe a foe's weapon. How well he uses it depends on how well he paid attention to its use, or knows about it.
  • (Hero Arts) Backstabber: Dagger Hero Art. Rushes forth with the dagger at blinding speed. More effective if striking in the back.
  • (Hero Arts) Tempest Drop: Throwing Hero Art. Grabs a foe and slams him/her into the ground, then barrages him/her with throwing items.
  • (Hero Arts) Million Chens: Spellgun Hero Art. Fires forth multiple times rapidly with the spellgun, finishing with one big explosive shot.
  • (Hero Arts) Dustkicker: Sprints forth in a sliding kick, then hits the foe with more rushing kicks, finishing with a heel drop.
  • (Hero Arts) Trump Card: Focuses aura into a giant explosion. Stronger if he's at lower health.
  • (Legend Arts) Copy Criminal: Can only be used with another's weapon. Throws the weapon into the foe, which is then wielded by an aura double who attacks with that weapon type's specialty.

Inspirations
  • Yang (Final Fantasy 4)
  • Zidane Tribal (Final Fantasy 9)
  • Vaan (Final Fantasy 12)
  • Sly Cooper
  • Krillin (Dragonball Z)
  • Kirby's Copy ability

Trivia
  • The name Valentin was actually picked because of how similar it looks to "vulpine", the classification of foxes.
  • Valentin is classified as a Thief, a fast fighter that can swipe things from enemies.
  • The use of aura was thought up by how a similar thief, Zidane, uses Dyne abilities. Though they appear to be magic, they're actually physical attacks. It's possible that Zidane's Trance appearance and Dyne abilities were inspired from the Saiyans of Dragonball Z, whom also had tails and utilized ki attacks (which again are not magic, but physical).
  • The idea for him to steal and use enemies' weapons came fairly early in Valentin's conception.
  • Blue Dragon is based off of Ken's Shoryuken, but with blue aura instead of red fire.
  • Daggers are common weapons for Thieves. Throwing items were often used by Ninjas, which in some games are promotions of Thieves.
  • Million Chens is based on Dante's Hyper Combo "Million Dollars" in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Chens being the currency in Regnimalis.

Bill came for Alex.

-----

Outside, something ran across the street to the next alley. Quite quickly, too.

Alex takes out his credit card and puts it on the bill. Thanks to abuse of interest laws, he's got WAY more than enough money in his bank account to pay for it.

---

The man looks up as the something runs past him. He pauses for a few seconds, worrying that that "something" might be something come to get him, to finish the job they started at Fontin. He reaches into his pocket for another cigarette.

Zuberi has already paid the bill for his group.

"Thank you~!" Natsumi said, several times in succession.

"I do hope things recover soon," Elysia said.

"Of course, Lady Elysia," said the waitress. "We hope to see you again!"

And the three dragons left to check on any damages.

-----

Outside, the figure in the alley peeked out slightly and noticed the foreign-dressed man reaching into his pocket.

Having paid his bill and left a sizable tip, Alex heads out of the restaurant as well.

---

The man takes out another cigarette and puts it in his mouth. This one seems to light itself, letting out lines of purple smoke as a purple, smoky arm appears under the man's right sleeve.

In the shadows of the alley, the figure there cocked a brow at the sight of this man's smoke arm.

As Alex heads out of the restaurant and down the road towards Fontin, he sees the man with the smoke arm and stops in his tracks. The man turns and notices Alex as well.

"Shit," said Alex, instinctively reaching for Bane.

It's then that Alex remembers he doesn't HAVE any of his swords. Because Majestic, and by extension the man in front of him, took them and mass-produced them. He slowly backs away from the man, who just holds up his good arm in a "stop" gesture.

"Don't run," said the man. "Whoever was sent to get me is doubtless fast enough to get you."

The figure in the alley slinked back a bit when he saw Alex. While he and the other man were talking, though, the figure felt something skittering on his arm. He tried not to move, though being stiff from fright wouldn't help much.

"... Why the HELL would you be warning me about-" began Alex.

"Because I'm on the outs with Majestic now," said Black Jack.

Black Jack glances towards the alley quickly, then back to Alex. He doesn't seem to see the figure very clearly.

"And whoever's back there is trying to kill me," said Black Jack.

"How are you so sure?" asked Alex.

"Mockingbird is very thorough," explained Black Jack. "Care to help me take down this next attempt?"

"... With WHAT?" countered Alex.

It wasn't long after Alex's last line there that the figure came tumbling out of the alley, wresting several spiders off of him and landing on his left side. The figure in question is a yellow fox-like ferran, clad in dark leggings, gloves, and boots. When he noticed that he was in plain view of Alex and Black Jack, his eyes widened.

"(Uh-oh...!)"

Alex and Black Jack couldn't help but look at the fox-like newcomer as he tumbled out, making quite a racket.

"... This guy one of yours?" Alex asked Black Jack.

"Not unless he's a new hire," said Black Jack, almost amused. "What's your name, then?"

Black Jack walks up to Valentin and extends his good arm, trying to indicate that he wants to help Valentin up.

"A pleasure, Valentin," said Black Jack. "I'm Black Jack. This is-"

"Don't introduce me like we're friends or anything," said Alex, looking very unamused.

Valentin was a bit skeptical at first, since Black Jack initially thought that he was hired to kill him. Also...

"Hang on - what's this about you and...Majestic?" Valentin asked.

"Apparently bad blood's gone between me and their de facto leader," said Black Jack, still extending his hand. "They want to kill me."

"A lot of people want to kill you," offered up Alex.

"Not all of them for justified reasons, I imagine," said Black Jack with a smirk.

With those words, Valentin thought back to a memory, one that's haunted him throughout his life...

It was many years ago. The village of Cadarnel was ravaged by a surprise blitzkrieg from some terrorist group. A young ferran at the time, he hid in a cupboard his home, hearing his parents outside being struck down by troops stating "No one stands in Majestic's way!" When this bunch was done with their business, they left Cadarnel a smoldering pile of broken stone and smashed lumber. There were barely any survivors left by the time Corona's soldiers made it there - Valentin was lucky enough to be one of those survivors. But everything else in Cadarnel was...

Seeing that Black Jack is currently in opposition of this Majestic group, Valentin felt he could trust him...a little bit...for now. So he accepted Black Jack's hand.

"Guess we got something in common after all," he commented.

Black Jack helped Valentin off the ground. He then turned to Alex.

"I suppose that's three of us with something in common?" asked Black Jack.

"Sure, fine, whatever," said Alex, trying his best to stay out of the conversation.

"Intel said you were now a miserable, drunken grump," laughed Black Jack. "Apparently we can cross drunken off of the list?"

Alex flips Black Jack off.

"Ahem...So back to the topic of this Majestic bunch..." Valentin cut in. "You two know about them?"

The ferran seemed quite eager with this topic.

"Indeed," said Black Jack. "They're making a move on Coronach, using Haven's military as their backbone. I'm afraid I wasn't high enough clearance to know what they want here, though. Most of what they want, they can get in Haven."

Alex doesn't seem eager about the topic at all, refusing to look at the ferran or Black Jack.

"In that case..." Valentin said, determination gleaming in his eyes, "think either of you can help me get to Haven? I've trained a lot for this chance! No way I'm passing this up!"

"Bad idea," said both Black Jack and Alex at the same time.

"Haven doesn't look too kindly on... 'non-norms', let's say," said Alex. "And they're at war with Coronach. If you're lucky any form of transport we take would be shot down and we'd die quickly."

"And if Majestic is after me they'll be careful to check if I've boarded any boats, planes, or what have you," explained Black Jack. "And they'd... rectify their issue, so to speak. So I'm not in any hurry to go back, if you understand my meaning."
