Blades filling most of the image. Dangerous, precise. Rarely more messy than necessary (as symbolized by the clean blade edges outnumbering the jagged blade edges). Powerful, clean-cut personality, or at least potential for such a personality; not much room for gray area. Refined from rough, crude earth into fine metal; purer than most, but not entirely pure (implied by the presence of metal itself, as well as the state of the metal).
Blades around the chest. Heart is guarded. Fiercely. Wing-like patterns extend from two pairs on the back, and two on the chest. A seraph, a very high-rank angel. With the combination of the ribbon/bow-like dealie in the middle of the chest. Female character, I presume? But beneath that ribbon-like deal, there appears to be yet another blade, which half-resembles a cow skull. Deadly. And then the metal all looks like armor, with a cracked faceplate. Again; guarded feelings/emotions, but with an unexpected weakness. A weak point that nobody would expect or anticipate. Eyes are covered. Extremely guarded. Something prevents unimpeded perception. Something clouds this character's judgment, and it's likely a touchy subject. The grill for eyesight is very narrowly visible. What's more, some pieces resemble spinal cords of humans, while others resemble fish bones. Violent tendencies? How did I do?

Since the last thread on this topic was so unexpectedly popular, I have decided to make another.
This one, instead of offering warnings and advice for New Beginning, lists the needed powers (or parallels for said powers, if applicable). If you do not have the power, list in parenthesis () what alternate power/s you have or why you lack the needed power/s and whether or not it is on your wish list. I'll start it off: 1) Power of Imagination*: Warping reality is a must when the fights are on this scale. Can also provide emergency defense. 2) Invulnerability (Pack Invulnerability*, Super Enhanced Pack*): What good is it if you can get put out of the fight by a minor injury? 3) A mythpower: These are almost universally useful and powerful. Even the ones with domains over minor things can offer extreme power. In addition, they offer defense against attacks through Akasha Mastery* and stop your immortality being tampered with by Immortality Manipulation. 4) Immortality (Reincarnation Determination*, Resurrection Man*, Mythpower: Hebe's Blessing*, Mythpower: Geras' Blight, etc): If you lack at least biological immortality, foes can simply let you age to death. 5) Immutability*: Without this, all your defenses are useless to a reality warper. 6) Time Defiance (Mythpower: Chronos' Craft*): Without this, time travelers can erase you from existence. 7) Power Safety (Power Programming* + Human Energy Container*, Ability Activation*, etc): If your powers can be turned off like a light bulb, what point are they? 8) Josh's Power Switchboard (Author Power Mimicry*; I'm the author, Ability Activation* + Ability Cancellation*): If you can't turn off your powers, people may turn them against you. 9) Acquired Total Immunity*: Being immune to your own powers is a useful trait. 10) The Superpower List*: If you do not have this, you leave yourself wide open. I know there are plenty more, like Atomicity*, Unicity*, Singularity*, etc, but I wanted to just have the basics and leave it to be expanded by you.
Bow before your unimaginably powerful overlord!

The image is what Zimmy ( A girl who is plagued by ethereal hallucinations) thought a girl called Kat looked like after she ( Zimmy) traveled into Antimony's mind to stop her father from doing...something, something we don't know about. Love your analysis though. She could be hiding her feelings from everybody, even though she and Antimony are pretty close. Maybe her recent experiences with the original robots have changed her, made her start to think differently than before. I'm not sure shes so "Refined" seeing as she still has a bit of character development to go, but otherwise your thoughts fit nicely with the clues we have about her.

11) Elaborate Planning: You never want to be without a plan. This will drastically increase your chances of victory, or at least survival.
12) Spacetime Indemnity: You can be as fast as you like, but powerful time warpers and teleporters will almost always be faster. This gives you quick travel plus a whole bunch of defense. 13) Ultimate Cowboy Quickdraw: Powers aren't that effective if you don't use them first. 14) Regeneration Block: This fixes your problem with most of those pesky healers. Just block them and hide somewhere dangerous. 15) Lizard Tail Effect: By far one of the most useful defenses out there. Just have a single cell negated or a single hair atomized. Without this you will take the brunt of everything. 16) Ability Imbuing: This covers almost all the powers you don't have. When given time you can create weapons and other handy devices that will quickly give you the upper hand. 17) Con Negation: Your best abilities might have the worst drawbacks. Use this to free yourself from this glaring weakness and explore options you couldn't before.

You are good at this.
And yes. The touchy subject is likely her sexuality. She was Mistaken For Gay by one of her friends. Bothered her somewhat.

Thank you. Tis a poet's solemn duty to master the art of symbolism.

Thanks, I tried to give it a lot of thought.

20) Power Hobbling
20a)Any other power manipulating power 21) Exp Collector 22) Death Reversal 23) Theme Manager 24) Reality Anchoring 25) Negated Superman or Similar power
Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
1 Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. |

Yeah, I think the survival guide is better elaborated on than this one.
Basically any power you can get your hands on will have to be used to survive our wild, crazy reality bender antics...

Anyone made any?
I found this awesome Superhero Name Gen, and It's given me plenty of entertaining ideas. Dynagal and Golem Lass, an electrical mutant and magic construct. Together, they fight crime!

So...is this thread dead for now, or what? Any other symbols need de-symbolizing? Perhaps somebody's been having peculiar dreams lately?
Anything? Anyone?

Unrelated:
Is calling a woman a "Female" dehumanizing?
