Arius Inspiration Meme

My friend showed me this meme and told me I should do it since he was curious about what inspired the creation of Arius. I was bored and had nothing to do, so I figured I might as well.

1. Top Left: Dart from The Legend of Dragoon

Dart is the dragoon of fire. He isn't the wisest person but he has the stereotypical hero attributes. He is strong, courageous, adventurous, somewhat narcissistic, and a little stubborn. Plus, he has a kickass dragoon form. He was definitely one of my favorites. <3

Top Right: Yugo: Wolf Form from the Bloody Roar series

Yugo isn't my character of choice in Bloody Roar (in fact, I much prefer Long). However, his design and his demeanor made him one of my favorite characters overall. He's a fighter with a cocky attitude and he's in it to win it.

Bottom-Left: Chris Redfield from the Resident Evil series

I've been a fan of Resident Evil for YEARS. Chris isn't my number 1 favorite character in the series (my number 1 favorite is obviously Jill Valentine), but he is the second most bad-ass character (the first being Wesker himself). He also knows how to handle a gun like a man and can take a beating before dying. Pussy-ass Jill can't get headshots to save her life and she dies rather quickly.

Middle-Right: Joanna Dark from Perfect Dark

To me, Joanna Dark is hand-down the best female secret agent of all time. This bitch puts James Bond to shame. She is stronger than she appears to be as well as cunning and versatile. She can be stealthy or go all out in combat mode. She also inspired Arius' hairstyle. Like Chris, she can handle her guns pretty well, even ones that seem to weigh more than her apparently.

Bottom-Right: Bowser

The king of badass, literally. He is a King! He is usually the evil guy but he's not as bad as people portray him out to be. In fact, he has his moments when he is the hero. Bowser is brawns over brains; but it seems to work out for him in the long-run.
