Hypernerd Workbench 2: Create Souls Males

Soul Calibur 6's creation mode is kind of neat.  While there are limits to the parts available, but you aren't limited by stupid elements or points like in previous games.  It's enough to bring out your creative side because you can actually create without worrying about whether what your warrior is wearing will actually hinder them rather than helping.

In a previous post, I showed just a handful of created females.  But the world has both men and women in it, so one good turn deserves another.  Here are just a couple Created Souls males from the workbench of a Hypernerd.

5.  Ayozul


Hailing from the same tribe as Isala, Ayozul travels simply for the sake of seeing the world.  He occasionally crosses paths with Isala, but he does not travel with her.  He prefers to stay away from cities and enjoys looking at wild animals, attacking those who .

Staff in hand, Ayozul is prepared for whatever challenges arise.

He prefers nonlethal attacks, but will kill if necessary.

Ayozul's fighting style is centered around an ironclad defense.
4.  Sorsirius


A mighty warrior in a dying nation under constant attack, Sorsirius is a proud warrior.  His fighting prowess is so great, that some believe he is the sole reason his nation still exists.  He is often considered the mightiest human alive.  As such, he has had to endure numerous challenges from individuals as well as multiple assassination attempts.

It's rumored Sorsirius has no equal in combat.

His shield strikes are just as devastating as his sword attacks.

You shall not pass.
3.  Tardon


A former mercenary, Tardon's days on the battlefield have come and gone.  He now makes a living as an instructor of swordsmanship.  Even though he no longer active in combat, he is still considered one of the world's strongest humans and receives many challengers.  One of his former students, Fiona, uses the skills he taught her to hunt monsters.

He may be old, but he's still a mighty warrior.

Long training sessions tucker him out.

Tardon never let's a chance to have a drink pass him.
2.  Sadarit


Having grown up destitute, Sadarit always knew he would be a treasure hunter.  Still being young and having been raised in the brutal Land of Tigers, he has no fear.  His goals are not entirely selfish.  He supports his parents and two younger sisters with the money he receives from the treasures he exchanges.

His small, athletic body is perfect for evading the traps that protect any treasure he seeks.

He is an explorer first, but will fight when the need arises.

Wiping away sweat after a hard day's work.
1.  Dals


Dals has the unfortunate fate of being the offspring of an angel and a demon.  Viewed as an abomination, he is an outcast on both sides.  He tries to live a normal, peaceful life in small, out-of-the-way towns among humans, but angels, demons, and demon hunters keep forcing him to stay on the move.

The horns on his wrist are deadly weapons and fully retractable as well.

With no need for a weapon, he relies heavily on magic and hand-to-hand techniques.

Though he is a reluctant fighter, he is a fierce opponent.
And that just a few of the Created Souls males from the Hypernerd Workbench.  You can create characters like these and more in Soul Calibur 6.

Any favorites?  Any Created Souls you wish to share?  Feel free to leave pictures and backstories for your Souls.

The Life Of A Game Girl

It must be good to be a game girl.  It seems like a nice life.  What's not to like?  I mean you get to sorts of cool things.

You get to blast heads,


And pound faces on equal terms with males,


You have cool moments,


Wear cool outfits,


And get adored by many fans.


Some people like you because you're hot,


While others like you because you're a badass,


You become an icon.


But it's not all good.  Sometimes it's embarrassing,


And humiliating,


And cold.


So cold.


Too freaking cold.


So the life of a game has its ups and downs.  It's not all candy and cake.  Being a game girl can be rough.  It's all up to the player.

Hypernerd Workbench: Created Souls Females

Soul Calibur 6 has a some nice built-in hotties in Taki, Xianghua, and especially Ivy.  Those with some imagination can create some vicious vixens to do wage war with them on the battlefield or in the looks department.  These are just a few simple designs from the mind of a Hypernerd, complete with backstories.  Enjoy them.

7.  Isala


Isala is a cheerful girl who travels the world simply for experience.  She enjoy partaking in the festivals and cultures of the places she winds up, sharing hers in the process.  Though she is a peaceful person, she can't stand injustice and is quick to draw her weapons on those responsible for it.

One of Isala's rituals is to 

She's a Roman Reigns fan.

The world's deadliest game of leap frog.
6.  Sawa


A cold-blooded assassin, there's no job Sawa won't take for the right price.  Whether her target is good or bad, it doesn't matter.  As long is the money is right, the target is as good as dead.  She does not like having her time wasted, so approaching her with an unworthy offer is something she won't take lightly.

She's got ice-water in her vein.

She uses great skill to quickly.

This is the last thing many of her victims see.
5.  Takako


Growing up as the daughter of a famed instructor, Takako was highly with a sword from a young age.  She watched as her father won numerous duels against those who wished to prove their techniques were superior.  It seemed as though he was unbeatable, until was surrounded and murdered by the students of a rival who was jealous of his fame.  Now, with her father's sword and unbeatable technique, she seeks to avenge his death by defeating the man who had him killed.

Takako trains daily and is in excellent physical condition.

She is a serious, poised warrior.
4.  Misaki


Playful and mischievous, Misaki is a traveling performer who enjoys bringing smiles to the faces of others, especially children.  Her skills aren't just for show, however, as she works as a bodyguard for traveling merchants in between cities, killing many bandits during her travels.

Her cute appearance has deceived many who are no longer among the living.

Her fighting style may look playful...

...but she can show great discipline...

...however she still young and prone to mistakes...

...which is a fact she absolutely detests.
3.  Fiona


Fiona is a huntress who kills monsters for a small fee.  She had a rough upbringing, often teased by other children because they could not tell whether she was a boy or girl.  This confusion continues to this day from adults.  Perhaps because of this, she enjoys living in isolation went she's not killing monsters.

She will fight humans if need be, but will only kill monsters.

Growing up, she always wanted to be like Scorpion.

She meditates before and after every monster hunt.
2.  Torikah


A member of a persecuted race, Torikah was captured at a young age and forced into servitude.  She suffered insults and abuse for many years as the hand of her masters, all while being forced to do their bidding.  Eventually, she summoned up the courage to kill them and escape.  Life has been hard since that day, as she's been forced to live in hiding to avoid the horrible death that awaits her if she as captured.  She lives alone on an island and, in an attempt to keep her location secret, will kill anyone she sees.

She's a crude, intimidating brute.

She bares the mark of the family that enslaved her.

She's wild and refuses to be tamed.
1.  Sandria


A demon noble banished from her kingdom for refusing to wage war with humans, Sandria was forced into a world she had never known.  While being a weaker noble, her subject were loyal, with all 1,000 demons under her command following her out.  With them at her side, she was able the start a nation of her own, growing it into a cultural hub.  Though she prefers diplomacy to bloodshed, she is a fierce warrior who gives no quarter when force into battle.

She is strong, beautiful demon noble.

She is often confused by those who start fights unnecessarily.

She is a charismatic general who has the respect of all of her subjects.
And those are just a few of the characters you can create with a copy of Soul Calibur 6 and just a little imagination.  There's nothing too complex here.  The only thing holding you back are the limited number of items you get.

So, do you have a favorite?  Do you have any Created Souls you're proud of?  Feel to share pictures and backstories.
