Victory Poses

  • Plants the Sword of the Creator into the ground alongside the other Hero's Relics already planted, and walks forward saying "Each battle, a chance to grow" before swinging out their left arm and lowering it while facing the background.

The following victory poses differ based on the gender selected.

Male
