YuGiOh 5Ds: Keres Ryder Ref. Sheet

Description

After seeing some of GinGin-Schrei's awesome designs for Ozidra de Archis, her 5Ds OC, I was inspired to create my own. So after a while of messing about with the design in my head, I've finally drawn up a reference sheet for her. Allow me to introduce Keres Ryder. She's based on my take on the legends of the Ghost Riders, who appear on lonely American highways, which is also why her duel runner resembles a mechanical horse; this is also a great reference to her deck, which are the Mecha Phantom Beast cards (I loved these since I first saw them). I haven't included cards in her side deck, because I haven't figured out all of those. I can say that at least two of those are the field spell Savage Colosseum, and the card Wind-Up Bat, which is also the duel spirit that follows her (like Yugi's Kuriboh).

She's a pretty unique character among my OCs, because she's got a more "wild" disposition, whereas many of my characters are calm introverts; her extroverted nature, and dishonest, self-interested temperament make for a great anti-hero, or antagonist, which means she'll be fun to RP as (and she is available to RP with).

I've toyed with the idea of also making a Dark Signer, but ultimately, I'm not sure either way; let me know what you think on that.
Her dark signer design can be found here: hughesation.deviantart.com/art…

Also, here is her team mate, from Team Hellraiser, Zilvinas Zaltys:

Anyways, here's the backstory I figured out for her, and her basic fact file, for those it interests:

Bio: Keres was born in Britain, to a working class family; not long before her birth, the country was suffering economically, which ultimately resulted in her father's redundancy within four months of her being born. Unable to find work in their home country, and desperately in need of money to support their infant daughter, her mother and father moved to Satellite, where her father found work maintaining the recycling systems. Less than nine months after the family's new start, the zero reverse struck, killing Keres' mother, and leaving her father alone, struggling to balance providing and caring for his child.
While Keres was very young, her aunt (her father's elder sister) came to live with them, acting as a Nanny to Keres during the day, but the young Keres resented her strict upbringing, and how little she was able to see her father. Under the tutelage of her aunt, she learned essential skills, like cooking, cleaning and sewing, which her aunt deemed necessary for her to take care of herself. Determined not to be like her aunt (resenting the idea she would end up as a house-maker), Keres taught herself to repair electrical appliances, by tinkering with them when they broke down, and developing the capacity to repair and rebuild them.
When Keres started Juinor High, she made friends with another girl, a duelist who was an honorary member of her elder sister's all female turbo-dueling gang, the Hell's Belles. Becoming fast friends with the rougher girl, she learned to duel, and found herself sneaking out to spend more and more time with her new friend and senpais in the gang. She earned respect among the gang, by showing off her skills at fixing things, and rapidly became their mechanic, before eventually being taught to turbo duel herself. Though too young to legally ride, she eventually built her own duel runner, and became infamous for playing people over their own duel runners and parts, to customize the gang. The Hell's Belles earned a reputation for being troublesome, even in hassling Sector Security; it wasn't long before Keres (aged 14), who so resented authority, received a criminal mark, for her illegal street racing. Knowing she couldn't return home, to her aunt with the mark, Keres chose to leave, and run away with the gang - after all, she saw her father so little he was like a stranger to her, and she hated her aunt with a passion.
Initially ashamed of her mark, she covered it with her hair, so that nobody could see it, but in time, she came to embrace it as the symbol that pushed her toward absolute freedom, then wearing it with pride, and changing the side she parted her hair to display it proudly.
Some years passed, and Sector Security was eventually able to raid one of the Hell's Belles operations, and arrest a number of the high ranking members, forcing the gang to disband; since that, Keres grew to hate Sector Security even more, viewing them as the people who took away her "family" and happiness, leaving her searching since to find somewhere she belongs.
One thing remains true of Keres; still as angry as ever, she actively causes as much chaos and trouble as she goes, to challenge and humiliate Sector Security, and duels any competitor she comes across.
