These are two of the characters that I helped develop and design for my summer program at Exceptional Minds a few weeks ago. There was a third one, but I'm not gonna show it here because it still needs work. The reason they are called Sol Fighters was because in the assignment given, the characters were to be made for a fake fighting game. So I decided to call it the Intergalactic Sol Tournament.

First on the left is Riki Tyson. An alien creature who looks like a mix of a cat and a squirrel. She is adept in the art of Capoeira, a martial art combining dance, acrobatics, and music, which is very fitting to her own kind's culture rooted in song and dance. She is athletic, kind, quirky, and determined. She likes to dance and play music, and she doesn't mind a good challenge. She usually prefers to fight when needed. One of her dreams is to influence the world with her kind's culture and help teach people her style of fighting.

Next on the right is Pherox, another creature from an alien world. Pherox has made a name for himself as one of the most infamous bounty hunters in the galaxy. The reason toward his infamy is his unique collection of guns. He has both ownership and knowledge of every gun known to Earth, and even modified them to his own liking. Pherox usually depends on guns due to his short and chubby appearance, however his species does include spikes on the elbows and back knees which secrete a deadly poison. Pherox is intelligent, meticulous, yet also arrogant and irrational. He doesn't care who's side he's on or who he has to take down, as long as the pay is good enough for him.

Even though these characters were created as part of a class assignment, I do have the freedom to use them however I wish. So you may see these two pop up every now and again. I could definitely see Pherox sparing a bit against Mai-Ra. And Riki could be of some helpful use to Minnesota Maxwell.

I highly recommend you check them out, they're a very interesting school, especially for people on the autism spectrum.
