This is Aeron (pronounced the same as "Aaron"), the protagonist of the Project Rainfall game, Pandora's Tower
AN OVERVIEW
Aeron is sent on an adventure after his lover, Elena, is afflicted with a curse that, if left untreated, will render her into a monster. After she is initially struck with the curse, Mavda, a member of a tribe called the Vestra, leads the two lovers to The Scar. The Scar is a giant chasm in the continent of Imperia, that was caused by an initially unknown event. Mavda takes them to an observatory outside of the chasm, and explains to Aeron, that the only way to save Elena and stop her from becoming a monster, is to venture into each of the 12 towers, each of which is suspended above the chasm. To delay the effects of the curse, Aeron must bring back Beast Flesh from the towers, which Elena must eat. (However, this is difficult for Elena to swallow (HA!) as she has never eaten meat in her life). Furthermore, in each tower lies one Master. The Master of each tower bears a different type of flesh, deemed "Master flesh". This flesh, instead of simply delaying the curse, corrects it more and more each time a new piece is eaten.
Before heading off to his ventures, Mavda gives Aeron a weapon sacred to the Vestra called the Oraclos Chain. This chain is the only viable way to extract the flesh Aeron needs from the several beasts he encounters in the towers, and can be deadly when used correctly. Along with its use as a weapon, the Oraclos Chain can be used to latch onto levers, rocks, and grapples which Aeron can swing back and forth on to reach new destinations.
AERON AND SMASH BROS
As I see it, Aeron (although I do like him quite a bit) is not all that likely to be included INITIALLY in the newest Smash Bros. game. However, he presents a play style that no other character could produce. Aeron could be a character dependent on the usage of the Oraclos Chain. He would have several moves based off of grabbing players with the chain in different ways, whether actually grabbing them, smacking them with it, or even tripping them with it. Based on the moveset I am currently making for him, I picture Aeron as a character with Special moves that aren't incredibly impressive, but these Special attacks work well if used correctly.
For some examples, in game, Aeron can charge the Oraclos Chain by pulling on it when he has an enemy in its grasp. This could be replicated in a Down B special, which would charge the chain (with or without grabbing first). Charging the chain would then make several of his smash attacks stronger than they usually would be. Another idea would be a tripping Special. Picture an opponent running away from you, and then being able to trip them with the Oraclos Chain before they can get away. Pretty cool gameplay mechanic eh?
MOVESETS:
Aeron’s Moveset
Specials:
Down B- Chain Charge
-The Oraclos Chain can be charged for several seconds until it reaches a max. The longer it is charged the stronger it becomes. However, after a few seconds, the charge will leave the chain, and will have to be recharged.
Side B- Sweep
-Aeron can sweep opponents with the Oraclos Chain, to prevent them from getting away or event o continue a combo. It is a ranged attack, but can be useful at close range as well.
Up B- Chain Grab
-Aeron, if recovering, swings the chain and can use it as a Tether recovery. When it is first used, Aeron gains a small amount of air, and then launches the chain towards the edge of the stage. If used on the ground. It is launched at a diagonal angle, and can grapple opponents to the ground for further beating.
Neutral B- Chain Grab
-Similar to Scorpion’s (Mortal Kombat) “Get Over Here!” type thing. Aeron sends the chain horizontally, and will yank the opponent he hits with it back towards him, keeping them in his grasp until they can break out of it.
Normal Attacks:
A-Weak attach with Aeron’s Sword
A, A- Weak attack with Sword combo’d with a second slash
A,A,A- Complete combo, finished off with a smack with the chain.
Side Tilt A- Aeron slashes his sword in a downward slicing motion, can hit opponents in the air if they are close enough.
Down tilt A- while kneeling, Aeron swings the Oraclos Chain at the feet of an opponent. Can sometimes trip.
Upward Tilt A- Aeron swings his sword upward in an arcing motion
Aerial Attacks:
Neutral A Aerial- Aeron swings the chain around him for a weak attack
Forward A Aerial- Aeron swipes forward with his sword
Upward A Aerial- Aeron swipes upward with his sword
Down A Aerial- Swipes downward with sword
Backward A Aerial- Aeron swings Sword behind him to swat at an opponent
Smash Attacks:
Forward Smash- Hits twice, similar to Link double forward Smash. Aeron hits once with the sword, and then finishes with the Oraclos Chain for the second hit
Downward Smash- Aeron swings the Oraclos Chain around him in a sweeping motion
Upward Smash- Aeron launches the Oraclos Chain into the air directly above him. If he hits, he grabs the opponent, and slams them into the ground, which will inflict splash damage to other opponents near it
Dash attack- Aeron swipes in an upward motion with his sword. Similar to Ike’s dash attack.
Final Smash:
Aeron obtains the Smash Ball, and any opponents near him when it is activated, and linked together by the Oraclos Chain. While this is effective, Aeron can beat the living **** out of those he has binded. However, he cannot use the chain because it is binding the opponents together. As it finishes, the chain lets out an explosive blast that can send opponents flying
Grabs:
Aeron’s grabs are tether grabs, similar to Link’s Hookshot, but with more distance.
Pummel – Aeron knees the opponent
Forward Throw- Aeron lifts the opponent in the air, and slams them on the ground
Backward Throw- Similar to Mario’s spinning throw, Aeron spins the Opponent around twice and launches

CLOSING WORDS: I will completely admit that Aeron is not a likely character, but I will argue that he would be an interesting character that should definitely be considered for DLC (if DLC is implemented). If you haven't played Pandora's Tower, or haven't even heard of it, I recommend looking up videos of it, or I can include some in this thread if needed. Thanks for reading! I hope you come to like Aeron and his potential for Smash Bros.!
