Seems like latest entry of each popular fighting game series gave its main pairing some sort of development or just some content. I'm extremely pleased.

Proabably gonna get crucified for this take but
Rachel X Ragna isn't an awful ship.
Is it awfully done in canonical Blazblue? Yes. Mori may be a good writer overall but he clearly cannot write romance. Rachel is pretty toxic even if it's because of her condition and the two don't get any proper development with each other until THE END OF CENTRAL FICTION
But I'd disagree with the notion that it means the ship just flat out sucks. It has many good dynamics to it, both characters have many contrasts and parallels, and so on. It's nothing a little bit of creative liberty can't fix up. Honestly the worst part about the ship is that Rachel looks more like a niece to Ragna despite being older

knightadora asked: Rachel/Ragna :: Office
“Now remember Ragna, I may have set you up with the interview but it’s up to you to get the job.”
Ragna grunts while he adjust his tie and struggles to get used to the dress pants and button up he’s forced to wear for this entry level position he knows next to nothing about, except that it doesn’t require a college degree to do.
“I know, you haven’t let me forget,” he grumbles.

Type: Ask. (Still don't know how to make a new paragraph on asks) Rachel comes in to mock Ragna as per their usual interactions. How does the Harem of Erza, Samus, Velvet, and Winter respond?
Rachel: *walks in through a portal* Oh, Ragna, how's my favorite mongrel these d--Mhmm?! *eyes widen*
*The Vampire is greeted by Erza, Samus, Velvet, and Winter; which made Rachel remember her previous encounter with the oldest Schnee*
Samus: *arms folded* You were saying, brat?
Winter: Go on, Rachel, dig your metaphorical grave deeper.
Rachel: *exhales* Nevermind. *turns around and enters the portal, which closes*

This is, tentatively, Rize.
She is the combination of Nagoryuki (Guilty Gear) and Rachel Alucard (Blazblue). Relating to the concept of a data-Backyard, she has the role of a program meant to ensure the integrity of the physical world through Intervention. However, overuse of Intervention causes cracks in reality, therefore its use is controlled strictly.
This relates to the thematic idea of her character as “the Observer Who Averts Her Eyes." Nago's long meditation after the events of the Crusades combined with Rachel's nature as an Onlooker, cursed not to intervene in events, resulted in Rize's fitfully slumbering nature. Rather than Observe the events of the world, she wishes to sleep until the world has no need of her and is cursed by nightmares of terrible memories and future possibilities. Her story is about finding meaning in Observing individuals, rather than viewing the world as a single disastrous story.
(I'll talk more about her personality and her design below the cut)
I had a really hard time creating her! Honestly, I really didn't want to anything mess up. I feel happy with this art, but I want to draw her more and really get a grip on who she is. She looks really elegant, but I think there's more to her than that!
I mentioned before that fighting game characters are adjective filled, with Nago and Rachel being no exceptions! Rize is more focused on Rachel's style than I originally intended, but I hope parts of Nago still shine through. His older appearance is why I designed her around the age of 20, rather than sticking with Rachel's younger look. I'm not super comfortable with the type of character that is very old, but still looks young!
She's a gothic, lolita-inspired vampire, but I had more of Nagoryuki's "noble" personality in mind when I drew her. I imagine that she would offer advice to the people she meets, but sometimes the advice might be, "Don't wake me up from a nap." She can be a bit thorny, which draws on Rachel's "rose with thorns" tsundere motif to reshape the kindness both vampires possess.
There are parts of her that seem very childish in my mind, like the idea that she can sleep until the world ends or her grumpy reactions to others, but her deeper personality indicates that she's incredibly guilty about the events she witnessed and simply at a loss in what else she can do. It seems most of her childishness comes from a lack of sleep more than anything else. Her eyes are Nago's Blood-Rage mode, which implies she's also pretty hungry.
Originally, she was going to be named Arisu (Alice), with Bloodedge (Baiken x Ragna) being a Cheshire leading her to the source of the plot's problems. If this was a real game, I think that would still be the case as a relationship. However, with a different name, the allusion isn't nearly as prevalent...
Instead, Rize comes from Riza, from E-riza-besu, an homage to Elizabeth Bathory. It's supposed to be from romanji so it calls to mind the idea that it might be a translation she preferred. That’s not how you convert Eliz-a-beth into romanji, but I thought it was an acceptable break from reality for style. That’s the running idea for ArcSys, generally.
Rachel has servants named Nago- which was ironic- and Gii, who frequently take her wrath. Rize's servants are Tama (Ms. Umbrella in the art) and Chester (Mr Plushy next to her). Chester is a stuffed creature in the form of a Jester, meant to put her in a better mood after a nightmare. Tama, as mentioned in another post, is a joke about how you can take the first syllable of Excalibur, Ex, and say it as Eggs (Tamago). It's a really stupid joke, but it indicates that Tama is actually the sword of myth simply transformed and given sentience via old age. I don't think she takes her short temper out on either of them, but if she does then it's probably Chester. Lots of people punch pillows to feel better, so I don't think Chester minds as long as someone fixes him should he be damaged. She also has another servant, but they aren't created yet.
Gameplay wise, she'd be difficult to balance. Every small movement would inch her closer to a true Blood-Rage, which would significantly drain her health. To get around this, the player would have to use Rachel's Wind Drive to maneuver either Rize or her opponent into her range. To offset the difficulty of that, she has quite a lot of power. It might actually end up making her a grappler-type of character. Rize is the kind of character who changes the color palette of an anime when she shows up. Super strong, y'know?
Anyway, this is probably my favorite of the "ArcSys Singularity designs" that I made. I also tried out Slayer and Rachel as a combination, but it wasn't quite as fun. I feel very excited with Rize! I wanna draw her more.

What are some reasons that Ragna x Rachel sucks? I was looking through my Blazblue tag and I suddenly feel the need to hate the world.
man youre trying to kill me i just woke up and for a split second thought this was bait
off the top of my head:
-the whole her looking like a kid thing. and as such the million ragna being a lolicon """jokes""" that followed that were grating as shit. there's so much art from each game and art collections of her that's suggestive and its fucking weird and repulsive
-even aside from that mori sucks at writing romance and her treating him the worst of all the protags always with constant belittling that it's clear he wanted to be her like. encouraging him or them bantering back and forth or whatever. but ragna is genuinely upset by it fairly often and it doesn't read as anything but cruel and annoying a lot of the time
-anything regarding spectacles of eros. especially the fact ragna is never into the concept in those gag reels and is just annoyed and uncomfortable
-with the added context that she somewhat stalked ragna jin and saya as kids at the church in. i think evergreen eyes? that also makes it feel weird
-aside from the kinda stunted goodbye in cf and the epilogue scene of rachel being angsty, a lot of the time rachel bothers him he tells her to fuck off and go home
-on the topic of cf, those who point at the scene of hazama torturing rachel and trying to kill her where ragna gets so pissed he almost turns into the black beast therefore he MUST love her..... honestly you could replace rachel with basically any of the main cast he's been close with and he'd still get That pissed. like. if it were tao or noel or something. she just happens to be the most immortal of the three plotwise. hot take ig but being pissed off about someone you know being hurt is a pretty normal response to that
-rachel is not properly equipped for any kind of relationship if shes going to keep up the himedere shit forever, that seems like an eternity of being irritating as hell
-she
-looks
-like
-she's

knightadora asked: Rachel/Ragna :: Band (also made it high school)
One of Rachel’s lackeys has disinfectant wipes at the ready for when Rachel picks the chair she wants to sit in, this time the one directly next to Ragna; it’s a rare choice, but she’s feeling affectionate today.
“I don’t understand why you loiter about the band hall as often as you do, Ragna,” she remarks, standing a short distance behind him to give her lackey room to clean the chair.
“You’re the one who keeps coming in here, rabbit,” Ragna gripes back, not missing Rachel quietly huffing in response, “if you don’t like it then leave.”
