This is the most ridiculous video I've ever made. If you'd like to know the story, feel free to read on:
Cast of Heroes
Captain Calnus (the one in the red headband)
Alexis (goggles)
Crimson Dream (the one in pink)
Captain Kohl (the pirate in blue shorts)
PAIN (the one in the black singlet)
Villains Cast
Cody Omega (our villain here today)
Krimson (short black hair, red jacket)
Mercer (long brown hair, red jacket)
Katheryn Lee (purple android looking one)
These are all CAWs I've created, and this video is inspired by an idea I thought of for a storyline.
Captain Calnus and Cody Omega were once tag team partners. Best friends. However, a string of losses caused tension between the two. Cody walked out on a match, leaving Calnus to the wolves, but appeared to patch things up. Things came to a head when Calnus became the Number One Contender to Cody's Cruiserweight Championship, and defeated him.
One month later, Calnus had a Champion vs Champion Match with the WWE Heavyweight Champion, Chris Aleksander, someone running a cult-like faction with a God-Complex. Cody attacked his long-time friend in the match, solidifying his turn to villainy, joining the Church of Aleksander alongside Krimson, Mercer, and Katheryn. Completely changing his look and attitude, the friend Calnus knew appeared to be long gone.
I'd been playing Persona 5 at the time, and this led me to a silly idea I had where Calnus, whose gimmick is very much videogame inspired, to have to go into Cody's palace and defeat his shadow to bring him back to his senses, as his sense of reality has become warped. With 2K20's goofy arenas, I thought it was the perfect crossover.
While the "palace" is very cyberspace, Krimson and Mercer's appearances are very different here to signify that despite joining alongside them, he sees the two of them as something different, untrustworthy.
Alexis and Crimson Dream are on/off tag partners with Calnus, while Colin and PAIN are involved due to having personal issues against Cody and the rest of the faction.
Captain Kohl was Captain Calnus' former tag team partner before respectfully going their separate ways, hence his involvement, the perfect candidate for the ending sequence.
I had a lot of fun editing this and trying to match the style of Persona 5 with the effects they use. I wound up having to recreate a lot of assets such as the victory screen.
This is mostly just a goofy video for an elaborate inside joke, but I thought it'd be fun to put it up here too. I DO have a Part 2 in mind, buuuut it may be a while, as this one alone took me about a month to record all the footage and edit.
If ya'll enjoy this as much as I did making it, then damn I count that as a win hah.
