Gustice

"Gustice Blows Them Away!"

Gustice (real name Aerolynn Wynn) is an original character created by Faz in October 2020, being a character for a creative writing project known as the "Project Cape Universe".

She is also a playable character in Nexed.

Real-World History
Gustice was first created in October 2020, being one of the first characters created specifically for the "Project Cape Universe". While Faz came up with Gustice's superhero name on his own, Aerolynn was suggested by one of his friends and became Gustice's first name. The original version of Gustice's design was very similar, but made her top and bottom seperate pieces of clothing as opposed to being a complete jumpsuit. This was changed on the same day that she was created.

Gustice would recieve a minor redesign in June 2022, but this only extended to changing her hair slightly and giving her freckles.

Gameplay Information
"As a child, the free-spirited Aerolynn Wynn discovered that she had the ability to generate and control wind, letting her fly and lift objects with her strong breezes, among other feats. However, once this ability was discovered, her parents took her and moved to America in interest of her safety. Despite this, Aerolynn was not deterred, and decided to use her powers to fight for good as the superhero Gustice!

While she remains dedicated to her work as a hero, Gustice has always had an interest in seeing the world. As soon as she was invited to the Nexus Tournament to do battle, she eagerly accepted in order to tour the multiverse and see all of its sights!"

Gustice is a character who excels in the air - Between her air speed, jump height, ability to hover, and versatile aerials, she is easily able to contest most characters from an airborne state. In addition, her moveset allows her to both create combos or keep opponents away; Two of her specials are multihits with low knockback, while Gustbreath is a low-damage, high-knockback projectile at higher charges. Overall, Gustice is able to keep opponents away until she has an aerial opportunity to strike.

However, this comes with some downsides. Due to Gustice's low weight and floaty physics, she is suspectible to early KOs if an opponent can get in with enough attacks. In addition, while her attack power is lacking across the board in comparison to most fighters, her grounded moves suffer from this the most. As such, Gustice should focus on finding openings and remaining in the air until she can get an effective means of approaching.
