To be honest, I have no idea who's winning this round. I had a hard time deciding on this because there were just so many things that didn't quite fit with me. This is long and I think I went a bit overboard, so I'll say my vote up top: Eventi wins my vote because she fits more into the RWBY-verse in my opinion. If you want to know why, just keep reading.

Starting off with Eventi:

I like her name (especially the Takeshi part :D lol) just had to get that out there. Going off the appearance, I'd say it was pretty much describing the Elsword character itself rather than what the owner had in mind. I get that you can use a character for reference, but I think of it more like, "my character has long hair in pigtails just like Sailor Moon does, except her hair is green" not "my character looks exactly like Sailor Moon."

With her weapons Ebony and Ivory, I get it's a DMC reference, but it would sound more like a reference if her drones only fired bullets rather than morphing into whatever she wishes, since they're based off of two hand guns. And with her powers I can see so many strengths, but not too many weaknesses, actually I see zero. Glad there was a mention of Dust within her skills, that gave her a couple of points up for me.

And on to the Backstory i honestly feel that an 8 year old wouldn't be able to successfully build a cloaking device (if it was just a blanket that hid three people under it, I'd understand because she's still a child). At 16, I find it hard to believe that they'd have Eventi be the whole villages's mechanic. I'd believe it if she was an assistant to the existing mechanic since she's still young. I'm sure she'd want to have a lot more free time. Also the random mention of Weiss Schnee, I'd leave that out because canon and fanon characters shouldn't really have that close a bond.

Now on to Mason:

I like how he looks like a thief, but I say sort of the same thing as I did with Eventi appearance wise. I get that all young teenagers don't have to go to Beacon so I'm okay with him being a thief.

Because of all his straps and pouches on his person, he can hold quite a number of items. I honestly don't like the idea because it could slow down somebody who is supposed to be stealthy. He's a thief, so why does he need the extra weight tying him down? Especially since there was no mention of him using them (unless that counts as "trap work" but that is barely explained).

His main weapon Night Hawk, and the combat knife seem efficient enough for him to get his work done. My only thing is that the pistol seems unnecessary only because he already has a ranged weapon (his bow) and it can't really be considered as a back-up to me because he already has the combat knife.

Mason's abilities, I'll just say it, sound completely OP to me. He can teleport, vanish into thin-air, hide his prescense completely, and track down enemies through a means of "Spiritual Wake". I haven't played the game he's based off of, so I feel that needs to be explained and everything to be toned down. And his active abilities are OP as well, with all the speed and such, firing arrows while moving with accurate aim; I just don't see how that's fair. I only saw one mention of Dust, and it wasn't included with these abilities at all.

The only thing I kind of liked was his backstory which was commical to me. It was unlike anything I've seen before where everything was either sad, or someone aiming to be the best. It's kind of a cliff hanger though seeing how he never went back to the estate. I thought the man was in love.
