KID ICARUS
Returns!
Synopsis: A midquel to Kid Icarus and Kid Icarus: Uprising.
Following his victory against the Goddess of Darkness Medusa, Pit is cheered on and praised by the Goddess Palutena and the angel people of Angel Land for his bold effort. But back in the Mortal Realm, there are doubts that such his heroic deed was done to save everyone. Now as per his request, Pit is sent to the Mortal Realm, stripped away of his angel powers to live among the humans, in hope to make everyone believe in him again. But there is a catch: he must not reveal to them his true identity and the powers he can actually do, for unknown reasons.
"Okay, not a big deal, right?" Pit thought, as he can be pretty convincing to people, and his charm can always make anyone not say "No!". But how hard can it be, when he has mythological monsters and an evil figure working in the shadows, out to pluck his feathers for defeating Medusa? Now it's not his identity that is in danger. But it's his people's trust!
OCs submission is now officially closed.

eyes, usually keeps hair loose or sometimes in a braid. wears anything
comfortable as long as it is light color.
Weapon: has a quiver and a bow, but prefers her katana (sword)
pretty good at hand to hand as well.
About Ventus 101: Is very driven to make things write in the world. is Very
protective of her friends and fears being left alone because her family was
killed when she was little. She has a bit of a sarcastic side to her and loves
to use it against her enemies. She hates Medusa for killing her family as is
out for personal revenge against anyone who would want to bring her back to
life. she becomes a darker version of herself when confronted about death and
the ideas of revenge.

Gender: Female
Age: however old pit is.
Appearance: 5'2" long white hair. Green eyes, wearing the traditional toga.
Gray wings (stained from years of smoke and her sadness) bronze greaves, arm
guards, and a green belt on her waist, that holds two swords.
(She is trying to be a hero.)
Personality: friendly, kind, caring, and just a tad bit insane. Resourceful,
and she is docile, but you wouldn't want to try to catch her in a dark alley
and escape alive. Hates posers and prisses. She likes people who stand up for
what they believe in, are loyal, and have a sense of judgment. (aka; she's
gonna have a sort of crush on pit) She's a sort of person who doesn't give
second chances to undeserving people. She feels guilty when she might have
been able to save someone, but couldn't. If forced to, she could be queen of
the bloodbath and not feel any guilt (slightly insane, remember?)
Backstory: Her family members were the ones who forged the weapons for the
royal army. Aleda learned how to make indestructible blades and greatbows.
Her grandfather forged the silver armor, and she wants to live up to his name.
Her family members were all killed and her twin sister kidnapped when the
seekers came and destroyed anyone who could be a threat to the uprising of
their dark lord. She seeks revenge after she has now created two katanas from
ghost tears, making a blade that has no resistance in water, dirt, or (ick)
flesh. She carries her sister's wooden greatbow and arrows in case she sees
her again.

He was one of the 'bad' emperors, and was assassinated. He was in solitary

Egypt and the Arab region. That's why he wears those types of wrap-up
clothes. He had no parents when he grew up, but went street-wise and became a
con man after sharpening his skills. He died in a fire as he tried to escape
with his friend, who he doesn't remember. His horse and friend escaped, he

(rhymes with "floss")
Gender: Female
Age: Really young. Between eight and twelve.
Appearance: Praus has black hair and sun-darkened skin. She spends a lot of
time helping her father and brothers catch fish, so she usually smells like
salt water. She dresses in a plain, tan-colored toga and usually goes
barefoot.
Talents and Personality: Since she grew up in a fishing family, Praus is
uncommonly talented at catching things, people included. Her favorite tool is
a big hook on a rope that is traditionally used for dragging in fishnets, but
she's perfected her skills with it to the point where she can catch running
dogs or her unwary siblings. Although rambunctious and hungry for adventure,
Praus is still a child and is often intimidated by the dangerous situations
she can get herself into.

selling chocolate.

whitish-grey and his beard goes down to his knees. His skin is wrinkled and
his joints look like gnarled tree branches.
Talents and Personality: Didache is a necromancer; he's dedicated his life
to summoning, speaking with, and reanimating spirits from the realm of death.
When Medusa was defeated by Pit so many years ago, Didache began to receive
messages from her. She told him that if he successfully reanimated her she
would grant him a portion of her vast power. She promised to make him
immortal. Didache, a weak and selfish man, was intrigued by these promises,
and has spent several years gathering the ingredients necessary to bring back
Medusa. Right now he's lacking only one: ten feathers from the back of the
angel who slew her. That'd be Pit. If Didache ever learns where Pit is, he
will call forth an undead army to capture the angel and steal the feathers
necessary to reincarnate Medusa.

- Best Original Character as a Main Hero/Heroine
This slot is for one unique OC submitted to me that I think will totally fit them as a hero to counterpart with Pit and join him on his adventure.
So the contest came to a close and all submissions were really excellent. So I'm keeping all of them. However, they were so good that I was having a hard time deciding who should be the best. So based on the story plot and such, Pit will have the following five characters with whom he will interact with most of the time.
And here are the lucky winners:
-Bella
-Praus
-Terren
-Zeidrik
-Aleda
- Best Original Character as a Main Villain/Villainess
Same deal with villains. This slot is for one unique OC submitted to fit as the main villain. The villain of course will counteract Pit and his companion on their adventure and must have one goal in mind: to bring Medusa back to life!
The villains, unlike the heroes, were at least easy to figure out who should be the best. And so here is the best villain on the mission to bring Medusa back.
The lucky winner is:
-Ebony
