Hello, guys. Here's an explanation:
Soulcaliber always has a guest character, right? I'm going to let you suggest a character from anything: video games, movies, anime, books, cartoons, even OCs. I'll explain the rules per 'sample.'
So here's the thing: This was based off a fic like this called 'Injustice: The Other Gods' by the man himself Shaman94. He also created masterpieces like 'Fall of the Gods' and 'Clash of the Gods' which are kind of like Death Battle but with fairer matches (yes, I know Yang beat Tifa. I loved that she won, but she could have done with a stronger opponent).
So for our video game sample, we got Miraak from Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Dragonborn DLC.
Miraak had defeated the Dragonborn and defied Hermaeus Mora. He escaped the daedric prince's wrath and took over Solestheim with his army of cultists, seekers, and lurkers.
Shortly after taking over all of Tamriel, Miraak found himself needing more power to be fully free of Hermaeus Mora. In response, he was sucked into a strange world where he was caught in a fight for a sword named Soulcalibur. A blade so mighty Miraak knew he needed it to defeat Hermaeus Mora. However, finding it was guarded by the knight Siegfried, he knew he had to do combat to get the prize. Can the first Dragonborn save himself from the daedric prince, or fall in with the rest of the piling corpses? Find out on Soulcalibur: More Souls.
Atop the Tower of Remembrance-Encounter.
Miraak swipes out his cloak and unsheathes his sword as he says, "I require that blade. Hand it over to me now."
Siegfried draws out Soulcalibur as he replies, "The only way you are getting it is through me."
Miraak slices upwards, sending Siegfried up with the flick of the tentacle. He does so again and hurls Siegfried to the opposite side. Miraak grabs him from behind and runs him through, the sword's tentacle sticking up and pointing high. He drops Siegfried, who hits him with Soulcalibur. Miraak blocks it with his sword, which's tentacle spirals into a shield. Miraak grabs Siegfried from the front and blasts him with a Fireball. Miraak lets him go, crouches, and hits him with the sword repeatedly. Siegfried gets on his feet and Miraak hits him with his sword sideways, not letting Siegfried recover.
"You are nothing compared to the power of a dragon," Miraak says as he prepares his Soul energy.
He shouts, "Mul… Quah Diiv!" and he is surrounded by the power of a dragon. He stabs Siegfried in the chest, the dragon's strength boosting his damage. He blasts another fireball, and finishes with a sharp strike from his sword.
The Dragon Aspect powers down as Siegfried falls with a shout.
"Fate decreed that you had to die," Miraak says as he plants his sword in the ground and leans on it.
Siegfried tries to take Soulcalibur back as he crawls across the roof. He grunts in the effort from the beatdown.
Miraak plants a foot on Soulcalibur and looks down at Siegfried through his mask. He draws his staff and uses it on Siegfried, who is devoured by green tentacles.
Miraak raises Soulcalibur and stares at the gem.
"At long last, the key to Hermaeus Mora's defeat," he says coldly.
He thrusts it at the sky and shouts, "Hermaeus Mora! Face me now! Know the power I have gained!"
The sky turns dark green as a swarm of tentacles and eyes stares at Miraak.
The daedric princes and eventually the Divines found that they were no match for Miraak. They all bowed to him as he became the new master.
So that was Miraak as the tutorial for video game characters. So here are the rules for video game characters.
They have to be normal sized. No bigger than Night Terror.
They have to have combat experience. Miraak, as seen, is a sword user. But usually he uses magic. So they have to be at least optionally combat experienced.
Their power level has to be strong. I don't care how powerful they are but if they are weak than that's a big no no.
Those are the rules for gaming characters. For our next match for the book/cartoon/movie sample, we have the punchy Crystal Gem.
