1) Llave: As usual, you prove yourself head and maybe a bit of your neck above anyone else competing. From a composition standpoint it's dull and has no common thread pulling it all together as a piece, it just looks like four separate pictures stuck next to each other. From a design standpoint I always am a bit at odds with your pieces. You clearly put thought in and some of the characters looks relatively nice but there's a lot that I don't think needs to be there or needs more developing. I really like that you're not afraid to make unattractive characters though. From a technical standpoint you're on point as always. You probably would have done well to do a little more refining and editing on the second from the left though. I'd give more compliments, but I'm sure you're going to get enough of those as it is. Stay hungry, go for the gold and all that. 2) Chie Satonaka: It's a nice little piece with excellent use of color, but it's got a ways to go is how I'd put it. The whole thing seems awful stiff and the proportions on the head and hand aren't quite right. It's also flat (not sure if intentional.) Either way, you seem like you know what you're doing already so anything I have to say would be more of a rehash of things you already know. As far as design goes, I'm really not a fan of that shoujo male lead look so I'm gonna leave it at that. 3) Hero of Time: You seem to have tried.
But I'm not cool, yo. I'm at best, sorta punk.
We find our heroine in the grim and murky depths of Blighttown. After violently forcing her way past the dirty and portly guardsmen, all three of whom she suspects were actually perverts in disguise given what they dropped upon their deaths. A pile a shit each. Seriously? She did all that kiting and strategic sneaking around and critical back stabbing for three piles of shit? Fuck it. She left them all over the fucking ground. This town is disgusting anyway. In the "town" she met with all manner of strange inhabitants. The main tenants, a species of overgrown, blood vomiting mosquitos harass her at every turn but in the end they lie vanquished with their odd fire spitting and leech-like brethren. After combating the poisonous marsh water and getting boulders thrown at her friggin' head every five minutes she makes it through that accursed "town" and faces off with the demon, Quelaag. A giant fiery beast, Quelaag's super adorable upper body belies her true arachnoid nature if you've got a horrible case of tunnel vision and only see the human female torso on top of the great spider behemoth clothed in the very flames of hell. Yeah, if that's the case she's super cute. Our heroine knows what to do however and dispatches the villain with her meguca powers. After landing the final blow and vanquishing this beast she moves on to the inside of some big tree. It's a little weird. What is that thing over there? Oh god. Oh, godammit. And so our heroine was stricken by the curse of the foul Curse Frogs and must return to the ruins of New Londo to seek aid. What will become of our weakened hero, unable to fully unleash more than half of her meguca powers?

Before I pass out from waiting, maybe.
shemlin sounds like gremlin but more feminine. You are definitely a feminine gremlin.
Chantelise. Harder than Dark Souls but 1000x more moe.
You could make it a disease or poison resistance. He doesn't need to be able to regenerate to take the virus. He just needs to be able to take the virus. You could even make part of his character that he doesn't get sick because microbes cannot keep up with his immune system or something. The healing thing is a nice plot device but something only a little different could help while not being so obtrusive. I'd probably go with super immune system or a body that is able to process harmful substances like poison or contagions without being effected. This particular virus could be the only one strong enough to be an exception to this to make it seem tougher or whatever. In my opinion, it's a nicer plot device than healing because its forgettable. When no one thinks it'll be important it comes back to the forefront but other than that, just fades in to the background. Also, for blade range, conservation of mass.
To give another perspective because I know Jube is gonna say something totally different from me. It's hard to limit a power that is just good without either scaling back or making it unreasonably taxing to use. The best way to actually scale back on powers is to be creative with the power you come up with in the first place and then working around how specific it is or how weak it seems to make it good. Right now he has too many powers. Any one of those powers could basically make him a one man wrecking crew when used in the stupidest possible way. But back to your character as he is. I'd drop the healing factor entirely or at least make it more of an informed ability. He has enough defensive shits already and his defenses can even be used to patch himself up the way Emiya would grow swords over his wounds. Then there's the adaptation. Even Cars couldn't handle outer space and he survived being blasted by a volcano. I'd make his adaptation more like a, "you got me last time, but this time I'm ready" kind of deal. Even a, "What doesn't kill me only makes me stronger," version isn't as bad as instant adaptation. But I'd try to focus your attention on his armor and claw deals and how to put a personalized twist on that. The virus this is pretty much a story point and you should see if you can adapt that into his fighting style somehow.
Depending on how much he fits the moniker, he could call himself Occam or more obviously Occam's Razor if you want a kind of stereotypical sounding name. If you want to follow the I'm great route the name Better has some funny word play potential. Or Mistletein to imply he has the power to kill 'gods'. It's easier if you have an actual character down because the name isn't just from the power as you've noticed from the wildly varying suggestions coming from even just me. Again, depending on who he is, he might name himself after a type of sword or armor or a famous sword perhaps.
I was serious about naming him OP or at least some variant of ,"I'm the **** and you bitches have to deal with it." I feel like when people are ridic strong they need to have some inkling about it. Thing about the virus talking over is all the more reason for him to have a really ostentatious personality, he should be about showing off and using the fanfare to hide his perceived weaknesses. It's better than making him a broody wreck at any rate.
OP Make him an arrogant prick who's aware of exactly how overpowered he is and not afraid to be hated for it. After all, haters gonna hate.
End it with an internet fight. Pleeeeease end it with an internet fight.
we join our heroine at the New Londo Ruins. With the perseverance that can be considered nothing short of super human she cuts down the numerous wayward spirits at the peak of their heretical designs only to find herself stymied, frustrated and otherwise halted dead by her worst enemy yet. A locked door and a jammed lever. Whatever shall she do? Find out next time on Hyperdimensional Space Magical Shoujo Girl Ai Desuka Yo Deshowa Kawaiiku Neon! Thanks for watching!
You can't add two dates together.
It's got sufficient melanin, though. Unless there is a pale skin I'm unaware of.
The numbers aren't ascending in value. Nor are they descending in value. There is no value to a date. So it isn't ascending or descending. What you're basically saying is that since the numbers in the date are counting up in one and counting down in the other that's ascending and descending and I'm saying that ascending/descending it determined by whether there is a value change of + or - with each step. There can be an argument made that I'm narrowing the definition further than is necessary but the whole point of this was to disagree with the original post on a fundamental level so I'm not gonna go over that.
I know that. I'm just saying that since one is not technically greater than another you shouldn't try to force it. Just label it differently.
