:: Acid Rainbows --- Nothing in the Rain
Acid Rainbows is my first attempt at making a Rivals of Aether custom character.
Having gone in blind with no assistance, developing her made me realize how simple implementing a basic character for RoA is.
Having high mobility, basic attacks, and not having much stand-out gimmicks, she is a relatively simple character to play as.
Rack up some damage with her Acid-Raincloud, and catch them off-guard with a lightning!
Character design by Kaggysmilk! Without this character, I would not be where I am now.

:: Lumina --- Wizardry of the dawn
Created for a sort of race-for-time kind of character-making jam, Lumina Methuselah Flowlight is my OC and an unplanned 2nd custom character, who has gone on to become one of my iconic characters.
Lumina is a young girl using light magic, which, in RoA, she uses to send out unique special attacks, many of them assisting her in long-range combat!
She may be a child, but her basic attacks are not to be underestimated! With her floaty movement and great recovery options, you would not want to face her near the blastzone!

:: N/A --- Nihil's Descent
Appearing from the depths of the Endless Abyss (unofficially), N/A is an original character made to fit within the settings of Rivals of Aether. After almost a year of development, N/A has become my magnum opus, even now many years after its release in 2020.
N/A is the trickiest character to play as among my characters, revolving around its slow movement, and its threatening long-range special attacks.
Set up void bubbles to counter any melee attacks, and electrify them while you are charging a destructive, abyssal laser.
When everything is set up right, N/A is a devastating foe to face against.

:: Reckless Safety Notice Man
"it would be funny if i made Reckless Safety Notice Man before N/A actually releases" - Hyuponia, 2020/08/31
This is the result of me ending up doing just that.
The (in)famous character who is in every single Wii game ever made, Reckless Safety Notice Man is a silhouette man with a moveset mostly based on that one image that says "Vote Reckless Safety Notice Man for Smash".
With his recklessness and his trusty wiimote, he is sure to wreck the competition just as he wrecks your TV! His gimmick is removing the Wii Remote's safety strap... Don't try this at home!

:: Natsumi --- Flash's Final Step!
From a 2003 Japanese Flash animation classic "Natsumi Step!" by Minoru Takehara, Andoh Natsumi travels to the world of RoA to wreck things with her somehow-iconic crowbar!
Released last minute before Adobe Flash gets actively stopped from loading in most browsers, as my tribute to the wonderful world of Flash animations.
Having a moveset both close and long-range, Natsumi is an all-rounder character you may find easy to play as!

:: Ao --- Another Waking Twilight
Initially created in a week and a half, Ao is an original character made for someone else's some sort of OC character world. You don't have to know about whatever that is.
Ao is the lone blue tulip in my custom stage "Starry Hilltop", or at least something similar.
She has a moveset identical to Acid Rainbows', but with all-new specials and few different normals, and has a gimmick!
Though she is slower than Acid Rainbows, her gimmick allows her to dance around the opponent at incredible speed. Though she is relatively simple to play as, she can be very technical if you let her!

:: Explorer --- Denizen of Many Lands
A default character from a browser sandbox game called Manyland, Explorer was created as a sort of a parting gift, a tribute, to a world where I was once in.
Many user-created contents in that game has been adapted into a interpreted sprite by me, which Explorer uses in many things he does. Most of the basic movement has been adjusted to work similar to the game he is from as well, but not too much to deviate away from Rivals of Aether gameplay.
People there didn't care, though. Oh well. Farewell to Manyland.

:: Jirachi --- The Wishing Star
A collab with my friend Spider Boi, Jirachi is a Pokemon from the Pokemon franchise (of course), who we made into a RoA custom character for RoA Workshop's community jam "Pokejam"!
Like a true shooting star, here, Jirachi is portrayed as a very aerial-focused character, being able to jump multiple times, having floaty movement, and use strong attacks in the air!
They currently have a reputation to possibly be the strongest of my characters, such as being able to edgeguard with ease.
Regardless of balance, I think they've turned out to be a very fun character to play as!

:: Madotsuki --- The Wandering Dream
Madotsuki, from the cult classic videogame Yume Nikki, made into a custom character for RoA Workshop's community jam "RPGMaker Jam"!
A collab character with Spider Boi, Altali, and me. Together we have put together a wonderful character I'd say!
Summon her door to the dreams for pressuring stage control, and use her many Effects for movement and unique attacks - turn the battlefield into your own lucid dream!
