Welcome to the second part of the Skyverse update. I apologize for the long wait, but I had a few other things that needed to be taken care of. Plus, I wanted to play a few levels of Skylanders: SuperChargers Racing on the Wii. Before we begin with today's piece of the update I would just like to thank the homie BH for taking the time to create that drawing of Wordsworth. I really appreciate you taking the time out of your day to do these sketches for me. Like seriously, you have no idea. Anyways, let's dive right in shall we?

Now, I'm not giving away the names of the reviewers, I like to respect other's privacy. The following reviews are from people online (mainly DeviantArt) and in real life.

Reviews: Characters
Most of the characters revealed so far have been met with positive feedback. The Elite Masters have all been met with positive reviews (excluding Mike, Clay, and Summer, who all received mixed reviews). Wordsworth appears to be the most popular character, as many people have said that he's the type of character they can relate to. His personality has also been praised, as one of my real life friends who reviewed him said, "That's you in a nutshell Brian, a genius idiot who's funny and a real pain at the same time."

Brad was highly praised as well, with many reviewers saying that Brad is definitely them in a nutshell. (I'm not sure whether they mean the personality, his wardrobe, or his mad scientist hair. Probably the first one.) One reviewer said, "Brad is definitely not your average nerd. Sure, he's got the orange jump suit, the rolled up pants, the fanny pack, and those shades, and that HAIR. I can go on and on. But he definitely seems like the type of guy who will remain a true friend and won't back away from the fight. Even if he knows he can't win." One reviewer even said that Brad is "the only one who truly matches [his element]".

Sue was met positive feedback, mainly for her physical looks and her punk rock/tomboy personality. In fact, someone on DeviantArt sent me a private message (don't ask me why) saying that he made a list of the Top 10 Sexiest Women in Fanon and that he wanted to add Sue to the list as long as I was cool with it. I was literally speechless, as I never responded back. But hey, at least now I know my creations aren't abominations. I have a feeling Sue will definitely be a character people will really get into.

Daniel was praised for being "not your average leader" and for being "shy but brave". I'm definitely gonna wanna see him evolve as the story progresses.

Yurei became an instant fan-favorite, with many people praising his creepy looks and personality. One reviewer said, "When you look into his eyes it feels like there's nothing there. Like he's missing his soul or something. You even feel somewhat intimidated just by staring into his eyes. Yet, you can tell he's the type of person who will protect anyone no matter the cost. Not bad for an emo." I won't lie, Yurei creeps me out and I'm the one who created him.

As mentioned earlier, Mike, Clay, and Summer were all met with mixed reviews. They were still good, but less favorable than the others. Mike was praised for his hunting skills and peraonality, but was criticized for "not being a true hunter". Don't even asked what they meant by that. Clay was criticized for his personality and for not "truly being a part of the Earth element". Despite this, he was praised for his design and physical feats, as well as being more improved than from when he was originally revealed back in 2014. However, Clay is still the least favorite Elite Master. Summer was given a score of 6 out of 10 by one of my friends. They said, "She's got the looks, but her personality is kinda underdeveloped and she seems kinda odd to be dating Wordsworth. He's jazz and she's dubstep. Seems kinda weird don't ya think?"

The other Elite Masters were given positive feedback, but they weren't given actual reviews. They were simply given scores and stars. So I'll just go to the villains now.

Villains
The villains were met with very positive feedback, slightly more than the heroes. The most positively praised were Pale and The Organization. Pale was described as "Skylands' version of William Fichtner" and The Organization was praised for being the "shady people behind the curtains". A couple of my amigos liked the idea of having a terrorist organization in a Skylanders universe, comparing them to HYDRA (a Marvel organization) and Anonymous (a real life hacker organization). Although, one reviewer said that they were worried that having two main problems for the first season (Pale and Kaos) would create too many subplots and unresolved arcs. To them I said, Kaos is nothing but a god wannabe. Pale will be the true issue for a while. The other villains were also praised but not given actual reviews (Déjà Vu).

My lord, I can't believe it took me an hour to type all this. Well, that's it for this one, guess I'll need to get to work on some of the characters. Next time, I'll reveal some character updates. As well as some special interviews. Till next time.
