X! We're getting readings that VORPAL CHESHIRE is active at the WORLD LIBRARY. You better get there quick!


So yeah! Back at FWA this year, I commissioned AlTheGirl to draw Lu as a MMX-style Maverick. The name "Vorpal Cheshire" had been bouncing around in my head, but I hadn't found anyone who liked Mega Man as much as I did to do it justice.

But guys, she does awesome art.

So this shit is legit.

Also, I just have to quote her here, as far as how she designed this guy (I gave her full reign):

"Alright. I have lots of reasons for a lot of the design choices I made.

I figured to a character using a vorpal-type weapon, speed would be important. They would be kind of a power-gamer if ya will, that wants to be really strong, and likely is. So I built him with strength and speed in mind. He has rockets on his back, the fins of which form his dapper "coat tails". His feet and "scarf" also have additional jets. To add to this, he has small wheels in his feet so he can speed around easily, or retract them to just walk or run. To add to this, when it's finished, I'm going to make some of his stripes "glowy", as they're meant to blink and confound his enemies as he moves around super fast. It works as a sort of camouflage if he concentrates. The vents on his "vest" serve as intake for his jets.

To make the "vorpal" part of "Vorpal Cheshire", his tail has a specially-designed vibroblade that moves around at such fast speeds it leaves afterimages and hits several times.

I gave him a cane just because I think he's a pretty dapper guy who'd carry a cane, perhaps to throw at X at high speeds. >:3

I've thought about what kinds of attacks he'd have/his pattern, but that's super nerdy..."

So yeah. Haddamn. Y'all should go commission her.
