Name: Spade Night
Race: Human
Appearance: Wears a jumpsuit, armor chest piece, iron boots, small shoulder pads, and faulds around his waist. All in light blue. His armor pieces have a golden edge. Plus a helmet with two horns(though it doesn't cover his face)
Semblance: Steadfastness: When he gets hit by an attack he can choose to absorb most of the kinetic energy, thereby stopping himself from being knocked back by it. Part of this energy can then be transferred into his next swing.
Weapon: A shovel with a sharpened blade. The other end looks like the flare rod and can shoot fire balls until it runs out of dust. By pushing a button he can turn it into a pogo stick.
Wears the dust knuckles, which increase his strength.
One of the horns on his helmet is a wind dust powered one-time-use warhorn that can knock away objects and people with a powerful blast.
Home/Place of origin: Vacuo
Symbol: The "original" Shovel Knight helmet
Personality: Strong willed, willing to sacrifice himself for his team, always does what benefits the most people; even if he might get hurt in the process.
History: Grew up in Vacuo. His father is a gardener while his mother works as a  historian. He always helped his father in the garden, which is why he chose a shovel as his weapon. His semblance was discovored when his sister was almost run over by car. He threw himself in front of her and stopped the car, suffering only from a broken rib.
Likes: Talking in an old-timey way, gardening, reading history books,
Dislikes: All forms of injustice, rats, spikes, brocolli
Reference: Shovel Knight from, well, Shovel Knight
Name explanation: Spade sounds more like a name than "Shovel", while "Night" not only is pronounced the same way as "Knight", but also reminds one of dark colours, more specifically black and dark blue.

Name: Sans Snowdin
Race: Human
Appearance: Smaller than his team mates and slightly overweight, but surprisingly agile.
Boney arms and legs, pale skin. Constantly wears a cheap skeleton mask.
Wears a "My brother is cooler than your brother" shirt, a blue jacket/hoodie, and green sneakers.
Semblance: Bone constructs(just imagine the bones in his bossfight). And when he gets pissed his left eye begins to glow blue and he summons his infamous ghaster blasters.
However: His auras defensive capabilities suck. It can only take one hit before depleting completely.
Weapon: He doesn't use a weapon because learning how to wield it would require work. Techinically speaking he wields a giant bone as a club, because it's required that every student has a weapon.
Home/Place of origin: Atlas/Mantle, moved to Vacuo because it's more relaxed
Symbol: The word "Sans"
Personality: Pretty lazy, only does what is necessary, but is also incredibly smart
History: His father disappeared under mysterious circumstances when he was a teenager, and he never knew his mother. Took care of his brother from that point on. His only goal in life is to find out what happened to his dad. He is convinced it has something to do with the legend of the 4 maidens.
Likes: Spaghetti, his brother, sleeping, reading, Yang, puns. Oh does he like puns.
Dislikes: Working, fighting, doing stuff in general
Reference: Sans the skeleton from Undertale
Name explanation: The original characters home is called "Snowdin", a snowy village which's name is an obvious play on "snowed in". This fits well with the character liking puns, while reminding one of the colour white.

Name: Shantae Bellflower
Race: Human
Appearance: I think her design works well enough to just copy it one-to-one(Maybe give her a shirt).
Semblance: Animal spirit channeling: Allows her to temporarily change her physical abilities, by dancing for a few seconds, thereby invoking the power of certain animals and getting faunus-like physical changes:
- Elephant: Increased strength, small tusks
- Monkey: Shrinks slightly, increased agility all around, grows a monkey tail
- Harpy: Get's more aggresive, harpy claws replace her hands, feathers on her arms(no wings though)
- Mermaid: Gills and those weird fish ears(google Mermaid Shantae. You'll see what I mean)
Weapon: Carries a scimitar and a handgun that shoots dust bullets(explosive, ice, electricity and armor penetration). Her most effective weapon is her dust infused hair, which she uses to whip people.
Home/Place of origin: Vacuo
Symbol: A genie lamp
Personality: Always happy and energetic, pretty naive and easily fooled, once she has a goal she will do everything to achieve it.
History: Daughter of a great huntress, her father is the mayor of a small town in Vacuo. She always wanted to follow in her mothers footsteps,
Likes: (Belly-)Dancing, making as many friends as possible
Dislikes: Fighting(verbally), pirates, bats
Reference: Shantae the half-genie from the "Shantae" game series.
Name explanation: Since her hair is very important to her, I decided to go with a name that represents it's colour. A bellflower is a purple flower.


Name: Zubaz "The Baz" Nimbus
Race: Human
Appearance: Take his design from shovel knight: Add a holster for the shotgun, remove the spikes(except for three small ones on his right shoulder), shorten the gloves and give him brass knuckles, shrink the belt, remove the glowey eyes, the racoon eye shadow and the beard. Done.
Semblance: Human dynamo: Generates electricity he punches and kicks, it forms around his fists/legs. He can't shoot lightning, just channel it in to other objects/people.
Weapon: A whip that can conduct electricity, by channeling enough electricity through it it becomes stiff, turning into more of a pole. Carries a shotgun that shoots explosive ammo, although he prefers good old fist-to-face combat.
Home/Place of origin: Vacuo
Symbol: A fist with a lightning bolt behind it
Personality: Incredibly stubborn, wants to be the best hunter that ever has existed, thinks he should be the leader and constantly tries to fight Spade,
History: Grew up in a pretty bad orphanage where it was basically "only the strong survive", constantly destroyed other peoples property. Once he was old enough to be send to prison the judge gave him a choice: Either go there, or join a combat school.
Likes: Meat, fighting anything and anyone, boxing
Dislikes: Vegetables, Spade,
Reference: Zubaz from the game "Divekick". I did however also draw inspiration from his version in "Shovel Knight", mainly for his visual design, but also for his ongoing feud against Spade.
Name explanation: Because of his electric powers and agressive personality, I wanted his name to be related to thunderstorms. Nimbus is latin for cloud, or storm cloud, which have a dark grey to black colour.
