Name: Perseus (Goes by Percy) Nakano

Age: 14

Height: 5'5

Favorite Food: Fried Rice. (He hates eating fish or any other sea animal).

Appearance:

Nicknames: Percy (By Everybody) The Hydro King, Ruler of the Seas, Peasant of the Kiddie Pool (By Enemies).

Personality: Percy is a very kind person but he is also pretty sensitive for himself and for his friends. Usually, he is loved by everybody for his kindness and his protectiveness to people even if he doesn't know them and especially his friends. He can get really mad since he has ADHD and Dyslexia, he gets Extremely Mad when people mess with other people for no good reason and he's protective over his friends and always makes sure their okay. He is an Average Weighted Kid and he has a Powerful Resonance with his Bey. He also has a Strong Sense of Justice and is very protective over his Bey as it was the last thing his mother gave him before she passed away, he does not tolerate bullies and sometimes even gets into fights because of bullying, (The Scar under his eye will be explained later). Even when he loses a fight and he knows he's going to lose, he gives it his all to protect the person being bullied no matter the cost. Percy is usually a smiling kid with an upbeat tempo and has a Powerful Resonance with his Bey that he talks to it occasionally and it responds so only he can hear so that some people think he is crazy. He usually puts a Positive Spin on things even in the Worst Situations. He is meant to reflect Izuku Midoriya but in my way.

Backstory: (It'll be a bit different since this is a Different Story): Growing up, Percy just lived with his Mom and his Dad went missing right after he was born. They both lived with each other and grew alongside each other until one fateful night, their apartment caught on fire and his Mom sacrificed herself so that Percy could live on with his life as he was only 5 at the time and had barely started Kindergarten. Percy was the only person who survived that Tragic Event and from that moment, he lived with his Cousin, Aunt, and Uncle. They were all very loving towards him and treated him like his own child but Percy was scarred from the event for the rest of his life. It took him a Few Months to get over the ordeal and since it was so tragic he eventually forgot about it and only remembers bits and pieces of it but sometimes they pop up into his dreams and he states those are the Worst Nightmares he has at nights. His Relatives and Cousin treated him like family and he's loved growing up with them but sometimes Percy wonders about his Mom. Once some kids were making fun of him for not having a Mother so he got into a fight which is the scar under his eye and caused him to be suspended for a week. He's pretty smart and ranges around A-'s and even though he acts like an Idoit he can read his opponent's moves with ease and understands almost every type of Math and pays attention in class.

Avatar Core: Water Cursive P.

Neo Chip: Poseidon: *It's shaped like the ValkyrieII Core but instead of the Yellow, it features Metal on it, the Yellow Parts that curve backward on the end of the chip are Water Stickers like Waves and Typhoons basically. On the Front, it features this Bright Metal Cover over its mouth, and on the top it has a Green Eye Glaring Forward).

Neo Blade: Vortex: *It has 3 Blades shaped like Divine Belial's Blades except longer and have sharp Rubber Tips on the edges of the Blade. On top of all 3 of the Blades, it has Metal Air Ducts similar to Slash Valkyrie's except they're metal and it can create Powerful Wind Tornados around it that act as a Vortex around the Bey, next to the Blades, it has Metal Seahorses on the side similar to the L Gear on Divine Belial and it connects Rubber Parts similar to the White Parts next to Divine Belial's Blades. 

Neo Disk: Sprinkle: It is a Combination between S Gear and D Gear and the All Might Disk. It is pretty small and on the bottom, the Disk is shaped like Legacy and on the top, it has a Bound Gimmick. It has Powerful Springs and can rebound off Beys and Surfaces with ease and it increases its Speed by a lot.

Driver: Plus: It's like a Combination of Power, Adventure, and Venture. It has Two Sharp Rubber Edges on the Driver pointing up like Adventure and below it there is a Ring of Rubber connected to the Two Parts pointing up and it has the Power tip that sinks in. This Part can also sink in leaving a Rubber Flat Ring that can make the Bey move at Incredibly High Speeds and it gives the Bey some Tight Teeth comparable to a ' Driver.

Dual Drive: Water Gear: It is like the 9 DB Armor, it is Extremely Heavy and balances out the Bey's 3 Powerful Piercing Beys and makes the Bey more balanced and gives it more Powerful Attacks.

Moves:

Vortex Surface Slash: (Poseidon speeds up and slashes across the opposing Beys Layer with a Strong Slash of Water.)

Whirlpool Shoot: (Poseidon picks up speed and continuously rams into the opposing Bey with a Powerful Attack.)

Waterfall Downpour: (Poseidon crashes into the opposing Bey from the air as a Water Fall (Visual) Crashes onto the opposing Bey with it.)

Vortex Flux: Main Move: (Poseidon picks up speed and when Percy and Poseidon are Fully Resonated Together they unleash a Powerful Slash and or Ram as their Fighting Spirits cause a Dragon of Water to erupt from their Resonance as when the impact is made an Explosion occurs as the Water Dragon crashes itself into the opposing Bey).

I hoped you liked it. If you need to make some changes I don't really mind. I hope this contest goes well!

BTW: I added some changes from the Original Character.

When Sumika gets her bey, I'm currently stuck between three different motifs for her, and I can't decide which to have her use so.

Please vote on the poll, I have should she only have one, or change motifs like Kira from Zero-G.

(May. 15, 2022  12:41 PM)Anime Blader Wrote: She should have one. It makes the story more engaging with her having one motif so the story can be them bonding and if the bey breaks the story can be emotional since you understand how she feels and are don't feel like "oh, well time to see the next bey she makes to replace the last one."

Alright, I've also decided on the motif, she'll be using. Here's the hint: Left-Spinning Dragon Bey

So it's Fafnir or Longinus

(May. 15, 2022  8:19 PM)Hollowmind8 Wrote: .
She could also just straight up abandon the first one because she wasn't really compatible with it. Like how Basara abandoned Solomon to get better, but with actual "this relationship is not working out" in the middle.
.
Or perhaps she is a good blader, becomes evil and changes motif, back at good and returns with the old motif.
Just throwing ideas ig.

Chapter 2: Fighting with Ares! Gouki’s Bey!?




The next day, Akira got to school on time, and met up with Gouki.
Akira(Excited): “I named my Bey, Warlord Ares! Ya know after the Greek God?”
Gouki nodded, then replying,
Gouki(Impressed): “I’ll be completely honest, that system you made, it’s really unique. I actually want to try and make my own DualBurst Beyblade.”
Akira smiled, and said,
Akira(Ecstatic): “Please let me help you, make your bey, Gouki!”
Gouki was surprised by Akira’s sudden request, and said,
Gouki(Surprised): “Sounds like a deal!”
Akira pulled out his notebook, he drew Warlord Ares in, and gave Gouki, a pencil, and Gouki started drawings different designs, but both boys didn’t like the ones, he’d make.
Soon more classmates arrived, and Gouki and Akira were on their 19th attempt at making a Bey for Gouki.
Gouki(Disappointed): “How come, I can’t think of any good designs!?”
Akira laid his head on the desk, and look at Gouki’s bag, and the book sticking out of it.
Akira(Curious): “What’s that book about, Gouki?”
Gouki looked to Akira and said,
Gouki(Calm): “Oh, that’s my book on Mythological Creatures, I was studying them last night.”
Akira pulled the book, out and opened to the page, with a bookmark, presumably Gouki’s, to a page about Griffins.
Akira(Curious): “Why do you have the Griffins’s Page, bookmarked?”
Gouki looked at the page, and began explaining,
Gouki(Happy): “That’s because, Griffins are one of, if not my favorite mythological creatures, they’ve always seemed cool to me, being half bird-half lion.”
Akira’s brain then sparked, and he said,
Akira(Inspired): “I’ve got it! Your bey should be a Griffin!”
Gouki’s eyes sparkled with Akira’s idea, and he replied,
Gouki(Ecstatic): “That’s an amazing idea! It’ll be a Stamina Type, as well!”
Soon the boys began work on a new design, then Sumika entered the room, with a few of her friends, she saw Akira, and stayed away from him, she told herself, “I’ve done enough to him.”
Everyone began arriving, and class went normal for the day, but today was one of the Blading Days, the Bladers get to practice, so while most people went to the Gym or Courtyard to battle, Akira and Gouki went to Studio Room, and began turning Gouki’s drawn design into a real bey.”
Gouki and Akira looked at Gouki’s design, it featured three huge wings for the Blade, it’s Avatar Core had a G with an Arrow going through it. It’s chip had just a Griffin design, and the rest was still undecided.
Gouki turned to Akira, and commented,
Gouki(Happy): “Thanks for helping me, so far Akira. But, I’ve got it from here!”
Akira nodded, and went to practice with his new Bey, Gouki turned to the laptop and began working.
Akira entered the Courtyard, and saw Sumika and about 9 other classmates out there, and he declared,
Akira(Confident): “Hey! I want to battle someone!”
Everyone turned to Akira, and he pulled Ares out from his pocket, and everyone gasped, or were in shock.
Sumika(Confused): “What type of Bey is that?”
Akira(Proud): “It’s me and Gouki’s DualBurst System, and the bey itself, is my partner, Warlord Ares!”
One of their classmates, a snotty rich girl, Annabell, called,
Annabell(Cocky): “Ya know, that’s not a real system.”
Akira smirked, and said,
Akira(Snarky): “Well, how about you take me on!”
Annabell declared,
Annabell(Irritated): “It’s on, peasant!”
Akira put Ares onto his launcher, and assumed a Shooting Position, and Annabell put her Cyclone Belial Fortress Metal Keep-7 onto her DB Launcher, and the two prepared to launch.
Sumika walked forward, and assumed role as the Referee.
Sumika(Calm): “This is a 1 Point Match, normal rules apply! Ready, bladers!”
Everyone called,
Everyone: “3! 2! 1!”
Akira copied, Valt’s DB Shoot Style, and called
Akira and Annabell: “Go Shoot!”
{Warlord Ares and Cyclone Belial hit the stadium floor, Cyclone Belial taking center, while Ares jolted around the outer ridge, then tilting on a slight angle, shooting to the center, as Akira called}
Akira(Excited): “Now, Volt Shoot!”
{Ares began barraging Cyclone Belial, the bey losing clicks quickly, until Ares went in for another attack, this one ending it, by bursting Annabell’s Cyclone Belial!”
Annabell(Confused): “Eh!? How did a commoner beat me!”
Akira grabbed Ares, and said,
Akira(Confident): “Who’s up next?”
Sumika walked forward, and said,
Sumika(Confident): “I beat you once, I’ll do it again.”
Akira narrowed his eyes at Sumika, he couldn’t forget what she had done, but he complied anyway.
Akira readied his Warlord Ares, and Sumika readied her Roar Longinus, and both bladers, called!
Akira and Sumika: “3! 2! 1! Go Shoot!”
{Warlord Ares and Roar Longinus hit the stadium floor, Roar Longinus taking center, while Ares sped around the outer ridge.}
Annabell(Confused): “He’s doing the exact same thing!?’
Akira(Confident): “Once again, Volt Shoot!”
{Ares copied it’s same pattern from the last battle, and began barraging Roar Longinus, except this time, Longinus was able to take the blows.}
Sumika(Cocky): “See! I’m still the better blader!”
Akira grit his teeth, and called,
Akira(Irritated): “Well see about that! Now, Ares!”
{Ares rushed to the outer ridge, and hit Volt’s rubber against the stadium floor’s ridge, and Ares sped up, a teeny bit, then changing courses to the center, and Akira called.}
Akira(Confident): “Alright now! Warlord Thrust!”
{Ares slammed into Roar Longinus, and burst it!}
Sumika watched in disbelief, that Akira, the boy she always picked on, and had no belief, he’d ever amount to anything, beat her, and right at this moment, Gouki ran through the doors, and called to Akira,
Gouki(Excited): “Yo, Akira! Archer Griffin is finished!”
Akira turned to Gouki, grabbing Ares and ran over.
Akira looked at Griffin, and Gouki said,
Gouki(Excited): “Let me explain, Griffin. The Griffin Chip, features 5 medium locks, and an Archer riding a Griffin. The Archer Ring, has three huge griffin wings, that are made of rubber for spin-stealing from Left-Spinning Beys, the wings are somewhat slanted, creating upper force. My Dual Drive is Feather, it’s weight is mostly placed by the wings on Archer, increasing the OWD. My Neo Disc, is Turbine, it features a free-spinning ring, designed like Wild Wyvern’s layer. Finally, my Driver is Outlast, it’s a tall driver that has a free-spinning POM plate. Now, that I’ve given you the rundown of Griffin, let’s battle!”
Akira grabbed Ares, and his DB Launcher and looked Gouki in the eyes.
Both bladers stood on opposite sides of the arena, and grabbed their launchers, and put their beys onto them.
Akira(Excited): “You’d better go all out, Gouki!”
Gouki(Excited): “Same to you, Akira!”
Both(Excited): “3! 2! 1! Go Shoot!”
{Warlord Ares and Archer Griffin, landed on the stadium floor, and Griffin took center nearly instantly, while Ares rushed around the outer ridge.}
Akira(Confident): “Alright, let’s start this duel! Volt Shoot!”
{Ares darted to the center, where Griffin occupied, and began barraging Griffin, the attacks though, we’re nullified, thanks to Griffin’s rubber wings.}
Gouki(Confident): “This duel won’t last long, if you keep up with these lack-luster attacks, Akira!”
Akira grit his teeth, as he watched Ares’ attacks equate to nothing, then Akira’s brain was given an idea.
Akira(Confident): “All-or-nothing, Ares! Warlord Thrust!”
{The blades on Warlord glew bright blue, as Ares began rushing towards the center, at this moment, Gouki, called.}
Gouki(Confident): “Now, prepare for impact, Griffin! Archer Arrow!”
{As Ares contacted Griffin’s rubber blade, it was hit away to the stadium war, and launched out of the stadium.}
Akira(Surprised): “Eh!? How did you do that?”
Gouki(Proud): “Well it’s something I took into design with Archer. Rubber can be an amazing asset, but used wrong can also be a Bey’s downfall. I design this rubber to help with Spin-Stealing and Equalization, but also like Brave Valkyrie, Savior Valkyrie and Ultimate Valkyrie, this rubber can be used for attack, so I did a simple trick, of hitting Warlord Ares, hard enough with the rubber, to get an Over Finish.”
Akira(Confused): “Long explanations hurt my head.”
Gouki(Confused): “Didn’t you earlier just listen to my entire explanation of Archer Griffin!?”
Akira(Playful): “Head hurts too much.”
Gouki and Akira, began teasing each other while Sumika just watched from the distance.
The rest of the school day went by like normal, well for Akira, Gouki and basically everyone else, except for Sumika. She had suffered her first loss in years, and it was to that boy…Akira Kamado.
Sumika walked home alone, for the first time in a while. As she did, she thought about the day, and Akira.
Sumika(Thoughts): “Why is it always Akira, why does he have to be in my thoughts. I’ve always had an eye out for him, since middle school, whenever he’d get in trouble, I’d make sure to keep the punishment low, and he never once acknowledged me. Wait, why am I thinking about him!”
Sumika shook her head, and kept walking home, and when she returned home, she unlocked the front door and went inside.
Sumika’s father owned one of the biggest business’ in Japan, and do to this was rarely home, and soon Sumika began to believe he used his job as an excuse to date pretty women, cheating on her mother. Sumika’s mother on the other hand, was a surgeon who was always working to make sure, Sumika was taken care of, and whenever she could, she’d do as much with Sumika as she could. Sumika was almost always lonely, which is her reason to become and stay popular.
Sumika walked up to her room, flipping her light on, and placed her bag on her desk, and flopped onto her bed.  She looked to her dresser, and on it she had pictures of Akira and her. When the two were friends. Sumika shook her head, and walked over to her Salamander Habitat, it was a large tank, which would of course, be necessary to hold two salamanders in.
She walked out to the kitchen and grabbed the container of live small crickets, walked to her tank, and dropped a few in for her salamanders, their names being Naomi and Arashi.
The two salamanders came out from hiding, and began eating some of the crickets, while Sumika closed up the top, and sat by her desk, opening her journal.
Sumika(To Herself): “Why am I the only girl in our grade, to not have a boyfriend, all the other girls have boyfriends or had boyfriends.”
Sumika looked at her journal, and her bey, when a thought came to mind.
Sumika(Mind): “Maybe if I create a powerful bey, I’ll have a better chance at getting a boyfriend!”
Sumika got up, her bey in hand, and the DualBurst System in mind, entered her hobby room, and turned on her 3D Printer.
Sumika then realized, everyone had unique motifs, Akira had Ares, Gouki had Griffin, Valt had Valkyrie and she didn’t have one, she walked back into her room, and saw her salamanders eating, and her motif was born.
{The next day at school}
Akira and Gouki were walking next to each other, as they talked about the DualBurst System, when their phones went off. Akira and Gouki opened their phones, only to see their battle they had, blowing up over the internet.
Akira(Surprised): “Gouki! It’s our battle from yesterday, look at the comments, there all about how cool our system is!”
Gouki(Surprised): “No way! Akira, the Valt Aoi even watched it! I can’t believe this!”
Both blader’s spirits were blowing through the roof, when they entered their classroom, and when they did everyone turned to them.
Akira and Gouki(Surprised): “Eh!?”
Everyone got up, and ran to them, asking questions, then Sumika entered the room, and saw Akira, and she signaled for him.
Akira turned to her, and ran over to her, the two went to the rooftop, Sumika began speaking.
Sumika(Guilty): “Akira. I’m really sorry for the past two days, and for honestly, our entire pasts! I know, we used to be friends, and then I split off, and wanted to be popular. I understand that you probably hate me now, but I can’t let this stupid lie live any longer, I loved being friends and hanging out together.”
Akira stood there, amazed by Sumika’s confession, he replied,
Akira(Proud): “I’m glad, you can actually give apologizes. I’ll forgive you, if you tell me why you always helped me back in middle school.
Sumika blushed faintly, and said,
Sumika(Embarrassed): “I’m not telling you that…..yet.”
Akira shrugged his shoulders, when Sumika put her hand in her pocket, and pulled out a DualBurst Bey.
Akira(Surprised): “Is that a DualBurst Bey!?”
Sumika nodded, replying,
Sumika(Proud): “After our battle, and you and Gouki’s, I decided that I would make my own, I introduce you to Hellfire Salamander Erupt+Blaze Core-Spark.”
Akari(Surprised): “Salamander? Did you pick Salamander, because you have two pet salamanders?”
Sumika blushed slightly, and was happy to know, Akira still remembered things about herself.
Sumika gripped Salamander harder, looked at Akira and said,
Sumika(Pleading): “Please Akira, let me battle you again!”

Gouki(Proud): “Well it’s something I took into design with Archer. Rubber can be an amazing asset, but used wrong can also be a Bey’s downfall. I design this rubber to help with Spin-Stealing and Equalization, but also like Brave Valkyrie, Savior Valkyrie and Ultimate Valkyrie, this rubber can be used for attack, so I did a simple trick, of hitting Warlord Ares, hard enough with the rubber, to get an Over Finish.”
Akira(Confused): “Long explanations hurt my head.”
Gouki(Confused): “Didn’t you earlier just listen to my entire explanation of Archer Griffin!?”
Akira(Playful): “Head hurts too much.”
Gouki and Akira, began teasing each other while Sumika just watched from the distance.
The rest of the school day went by like normal, well for Akira, Gouki and basically everyone else, except for Sumika. She had suffered her first loss in years, and it was to that boy…Akira Kamado.
Sumika walked home alone, for the first time in a while. As she did, she thought about the day, and Akira.
Sumika(Thoughts): “Why is it always Akira, why does he have to be in my thoughts. I’ve always had an eye out for him, since middle school, whenever he’d get in trouble, I’d make sure to keep the punishment low, and he never once acknowledged me. Wait, why am I thinking about him!”
Sumika shook her head, and kept walking home, and when she returned home, she unlocked the front door and went inside.
Sumika’s father owned one of the biggest business’ in Japan, and do to this was rarely home, and soon Sumika began to believe he used his job as an excuse to date pretty women, cheating on her mother. Sumika’s mother on the other hand, was a surgeon who was always working to make sure, Sumika was taken care of, and whenever she could, she’d do as much with Sumika as she could. Sumika was almost always lonely, which is her reason to become and stay popular.
Sumika walked up to her room, flipping her light on, and placed her bag on her desk, and flopped onto her bed.  She looked to her dresser, and on it she had pictures of Akira and her. When the two were friends. Sumika shook her head, and walked over to her Salamander Habitat, it was a large tank, which would of course, be necessary to hold two salamanders in.
She walked out to the kitchen and grabbed the container of live small crickets, walked to her tank, and dropped a few in for her salamanders, their names being Naomi and Arashi.
The two salamanders came out from hiding, and began eating some of the crickets, while Sumika closed up the top, and sat by her desk, opening her journal.
Sumika(To Herself): “Why am I the only girl in our grade, to not have a boyfriend, all the other girls have boyfriends or had boyfriends.”
Sumika looked at her journal, and her bey, when a thought came to mind.
Sumika(Mind): “Maybe if I create a powerful bey, I’ll have a better chance at getting a boyfriend!”
Sumika got up, her bey in hand, and the DualBurst System in mind, entered her hobby room, and turned on her 3D Printer.
Sumika then realized, everyone had unique motifs, Akira had Ares, Gouki had Griffin, Valt had Valkyrie and she didn’t have one, she walked back into her room, and saw her salamanders eating, and her motif was born.
{The next day at school}
Akira and Gouki were walking next to each other, as they talked about the DualBurst System, when their phones went off. Akira and Gouki opened their phones, only to see their battle they had, blowing up over the internet.
Akira(Surprised): “Gouki! It’s our battle from yesterday, look at the comments, there all about how cool our system is!”
Gouki(Surprised): “No way! Akira, the Valt Aoi even watched it! I can’t believe this!”
Both blader’s spirits were blowing through the roof, when they entered their classroom, and when they did everyone turned to them.
Akira and Gouki(Surprised): “Eh!?”
Everyone got up, and ran to them, asking questions, then Sumika entered the room, and saw Akira, and she signaled for him.
Akira turned to her, and ran over to her, the two went to the rooftop, Sumika began speaking.
Sumika(Guilty): “Akira. I’m really sorry for the past two days, and for honestly, our entire pasts! I know, we used to be friends, and then I split off, and wanted to be popular. I understand that you probably hate me now, but I can’t let this stupid lie live any longer, I loved being friends and hanging out together.”
Akira stood there, amazed by Sumika’s confession, he replied,
Akira(Proud): “I’m glad, you can actually give apologizes. I’ll forgive you, if you tell me why you always helped me back in middle school.
Sumika blushed faintly, and said,
Sumika(Embarrassed): “I’m not telling you that…..yet.”
Akira shrugged his shoulders, when Sumika put her hand in her pocket, and pulled out a DualBurst Bey.
Akira(Surprised): “Is that a DualBurst Bey!?”
Sumika nodded, replying,
Sumika(Proud): “After our battle, and you and Gouki’s, I decided that I would make my own, I introduce you to Hellfire Salamander Erupt+Blaze Core-Spark.”
Akari(Surprised): “Salamander? Did you pick Salamander, because you have two pet salamanders?”
Sumika blushed slightly, and was happy to know, Akira still remembered things about herself.
Sumika gripped Salamander harder, looked at Akira and said,
Sumika(Pleading): “Please Akira, let me battle you again!”

I really can’t tel if Sumika and Akari are enemies or friends lol. Also Sumika you’re never gonna pull any— Sumika’s motivation to make Salamander was kinda meh in my opinion. This makes me feel like she is a less threatening or friendlier rival which is okay but it seems as if you set her up as a Mean or Harsh Rival toward Akira. Gouki was kinda irrelevant and that felt a bit off since it was a chapter directed towards him. Not bad I’m just saying I’m that the way execution wasn’t really the best but it was still pretty good. I’d rate this a 6.5/10. It wasn’t the greatest chapter but it was still pretty good! There is always room to grow and I know you can Improve! But hey, this chapter wasn’t bad by any means, there were just a lot of factors that could’ve made it better.

Edit: Sorry for saying what a Joke. It was autocorrect on my phone that messed me up lol

(May. 18, 2022  5:48 PM)Scorponok Wrote: Here’s my entry to the character contest. Hope you guys like it.

Zinnia O’Brien
Age: 8
Height: 3’11
She has pale skin, red hair in pigtails, and green eyes.
She wears a green short-sleeved shirt and a pink tutu with black leggings. She also has dress-up green wings held to her back by elastic bands.

She has a very cheerful personality, and is easily distracted. She tends to argue when she loses, making up reasons why she won. Example “Your bey only knocked mine out of the stadium because it was jealous that Zizz was so pretty, and pretty toys are better, which makes you a loser.”

Due to her small size, she uses a trigger launcher that is wound up before the battle.

Her bey is Overcast Zizz.

Neo Chip: Zizz. A chip featuring a fearsome green bird of prey with a curved, sharp beak and piercing eyes. The avatar is the same, and is featured towering over an ancient city.

Neo blade: Overcast. It features four green feathered wings in each direction, with the gaps filled in by light gray clouds, resulting in a large, and decently round layer. It is frequently covered in various colors of glitter, and occasionally marks from crayons, due to Zinnia “playing dress-up with Zizz.”

Neo disk: Pulse. A disk with swirling patterns modeled after a windstorm, in a round shape with some protrusions. On the outside it has some magnets used to repel opponents. It is painted light green.

Driver: Tubular. A hole flat driver as wide as assault and made of POM, resulting in high stamina while zooming around the tornado ridge, completely rejecting the “take the center” strategy and opting instead to outspeed and dodge all opponents until they lose all their stamina.

Dual Drive: Center. A small metal ring in the middle, with metal balls held in place by green plastic. The balls go outward due to centrifugal force to increase stamina, and then return to the center to increase defense at low spin speeds.
