I honestly had the hardest timke with these ones.

Personally, both creators are friends of mine, and I've talked with each of them about their characters and the creations of them.

I know that both of them have been long in the development and are in-depth and well thought out.

It's also interesting how the characters themselves were rivals.

Nox's page was very in-depth with the descriptions, although, again, the lack of an image detracts for me, personally, as the description gives everyone a different image of him.

The part I honestly disliked most about Nox's character was his 'Demon class armor set' - armor he would don when he needed to do something like annihilating an army, which seemed quite OP to me.

Now, for Verda.

When Dragon created Verda, he was going for one asshole of a character. The kind of guy who would kick puppies.

I wasn't quite a fan of how it said his height of 6'1" was often commented on, sometimes with jealousy. I know the jealousy is mainly from Jr, Dragon's other main OC, who has issues with his height, but still.

His 'personality' section does seem somewhat OOC - near-mindless obedience conflicts greatly with what he's portrayed in Intro to Monster Hunting, where he has a strained relationship with his mother, possibly the only one who can claim to be more of an asshole than him.

In combat, his 'cracked ammo' seemed a bit far-fetched, but I thought a lot of it was pretty good, even including a concept similar to the rocket-jump. Of course, it's always nice to have an image as a reference, and Dragon does that fairly well.

In the end, although these are two of my favorite characters on the fanon, I'd have to go with Verdantos. I honestly think it's a shame that these two met in the first round, as this would have made for a great championship.
