Skullgirls: Stalemate

Skullgirls: Stalemate are Valentine and Parasoul from the Skullgirls franchise by Reverge Labs. Valerie (JP: ヴァレリー Varerī), code name Valentine (JP: ヴァレンタイン Varentain), is a capable warrior and assassin. She is generally antagonistic and can be considered a tragic villain, having once lost her entire battle squadron. Little is truly known about Valentine apart from her service as an and servant of a higher power. Her motives to obey higher powers come chiefly out of a desire for self-preservation, but also in the hopes of researching eldritch powers. Despite taking orders from higher powers, Valentine's actions are largely influenced by her own personal agenda. She often comes across as impersonal and condescending, with little emotional fluctuation; she does not hesitate to resort to murder and has little to no real morality. Despite her demeanor, Valentine acts like a jerk to conceal her good intent and emotions. She is still highly capable of showing genuine concern for those around her; she will insubordinate in order to perpetuate kindness and generosity. Valentine has a tendency to go against orders from her superiors to pursue what she feels is right. She is an overachiever with a big ego. Valentine has shown a fondness for medical science and learning, and often refers to her own actions as parts of "experiments" or "research". Outside of work, she's a very straightforward person and her flirtatious act is more or less a part of her kunoichi technique. Valentine had a rough childhood and entered to the labs early on, for training purposes. Valentine lost her eye in an incident. A cross in her remaining eye is a result from the labs' experimental drug test, as the team were not only in charge of the tests but test subjects themselves. The scar on the lips of Valentine are not from the attack on Lab 7, but a different event. Valentine’s “superhuman” feats can be attributed to her ninja skills, and she is able to exceed certain human limits due to Lab 7’s modifications. Her speed is so great that she can create illusion or body doubles when moving. Valentine used to be second-in-command of her battalion before the rest of the group were wiped out. Valentine, as with all members of her late battalion, is a code name based on a holiday; in this case being Valentine's Day. A holiday themed around love fits with her flirtatious persona. Her true name is Valerie and denotes "strength, health or boldness". Her motif is essentially a combination of two fanservice tropes, the "naughty nurse" and the "sexy ninja". Valentine has blood red eyes with cross-shaped pupils, blue hair with several large bangs covering her forehead and right eye with tied up in a spiky pony tail, along with grayish skin. She wears a bandaged eye-patch over her right eye, which is heavily scarred over. She also has a thin, vertical scar running through the left side of her lips, which is typically covered by a white medical mask. Valentine has a slim yet curvaceous body, although her low fighting stance deliberately obscures her true stature. She wears a black fundoshi and adhesive bandages over her nipples in lieu of brassiere. Her outfit is a cross between a nurse and a kunoichi: she dons a white, skin tight medical scrub top with pink cross buttons, a matching nursing cap and medical gloves. This is complete with a thin black choker, leg wrappings that end with a pink cross-shaped shuriken (her Dead Cross) near her knees and white flats. She has a brown medical hip bag at the small of her back that houses her defibrillator and bonesaw when not in use. Her numerous weapons include mementos taken from her fallen comrades: scalpels, an intravenous rack fashioned into a makeshift polearm, full weighted body bags, and syringes. Valentine is the only survivor of the Last Hope, a group of special Anti-Skullgirl Labs operatives. Before meeting their end at the hands of the Skullgirl, the Last Hope worked for the labs and performed duties ranging from reconnaissance and sabotage to advanced research. She keeps to herself, so much of her true nature and personality are unknown. Valentine fights like a classic ninja, using acrobatics, a variety of hospital-themed weapons, and a few ninjutsu-based techniques. Valentine's primary weapon is a large bonesaw holstered in the pack on her waist. The large crosses on her legs can be used as throwing stars or enhancements to her kicks, being able to move along her legs and spin rapidly. Another of Valentine's weapons is a large IV pole with sharp points on both ends, which she can use to slash and stab her opponents. She also has a seemingly unlimited supply of scalpels and syringes to use on her enemies, as well as a number of chemicals that can be delivered through the latter. The reason she hasn’t replaced her eye yet is likely an aesthetic choice on her end. Parasoul Renoir (JP: パラソール・ルノワール Parasōru Runowāru) is the princess of the Renoir family, the rulers of the Canopy Kingdom. She wields the Living Weapon--Krieg--in battle. Krieg is a Renoir family heirloom, an umbrella living weapon of unknown origins. Parasoul is a firm, fair, wise, and diligent leader who vows to protect the kingdom. Her childhood was centered around becoming a worthy warrioress. Underneath her serious personality is a noble leader who is thinking about what is best for her kingdom and her family. She attacks with grace, poise, and cunning to defeat her opponents and complete her missions. She prefers to take action over doing paperwork. Although she maintains a solemn demeanor, she tends to be very protective of her sister and the kingdom in general as she does deeply care for their well being. When seeing the pain of others, Parasoul shows sorrow toward those who are suffering. Parasoul is a very caring leader and a kind ruler. She'll lay down her life for her kingdom and her people. Parasoul has straight lower back-length red hair with a bang covering her right eye and carrot orange eyes. She also has a slender figure. Parasoul wears a long sleeved black top, a matching skirt with light purple undies underneath and flat black shoes. The pistol Parasoul uses is a Luger P08. Parasoul wears a symbol on her necklace, and it is also engraved into the side of her pistol--the Cross of St. Peter, also known as the Petrine Cross or simply as an Inverted Cross, which is a symbol of the Trinity. She is fiercely protective of both her country and her family, and these two priorities frequently come into conflict. Parasoul is now the crown princess of the Canopy Kingdom and leader of its elite military squad, the Black Egrets. Wielding the living umbrella, Krieg, she fights with grace, poise and cunning to defend her family honor. Parasoul is a strategic fighter on the battlefield, her living weapon Krieg is capable of shedding Napalm Tears that can be dropped around when Parasoul shoots it with her luger or twirls it around which she can then detonate later. She can temporarily float in the air with Krieg and any tear that explodes while she still floats propels her upward. Also, her soldiers are more than eager to help her gain the upper hand by defending her from projectiles, dragging her opponents away, or just shooting them from afar.

Skullgirls: Stalemate have come into conflict in the Canopy Kingdom, with Valentine using Parasoul's own tentacular security system against her while Panzer drops in from the back and rams Valentine straight up the cooter with his cock. It's up to you to make the decision between the stalemate!
