Player Characters

BENDER	THE PATTERN
Aerith Gainsborough	A small white orb giving off a slightly green aura.
Agent Six	A green Bushido symbol for loyalty.
Alexandra Roivas	Flickering runes that change color from red-green-blue-purple and back to red again.
Axel	Varying shades of red that move and flicker like flames. This symbol slides throughout it.
Aya Brea	Hers will be in a pattern of red cell-like shapes. They move very much like this, about 13 seconds in.
Blurr	Splotches of blue that swirl with white, like streaky bits of clouds. The two mix and intertwine, but never blend.
Chie Satonaka	It's a yellow smiley-face. That's pretty much it. It doesn't flash or do anything special.
Cho Hakkai	Green vines. If you watch them long enough, you can count one thousand leaves on each of them.
Dana Tan	Metallic blue that ripples like silk.
Death	Black that seems to glow blue at the edges. With skull and bones motif.
Demyx	Various shades of blue, five wavy lines with music notes throughout.
Edward Elric	Glowing alchemic symbols mainly in blue but shimmering in gold, encircled by a stream of arcane, illegible writing. Punctuated by a skull here and there.
Garrus Vakarian	This symbol, on a blue background. Just a little tattered and worn.
Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez	Glowing blue blades in sets of five, like this. Throughout them stalks what appears to be a white panther.
Jadis	Black, with red marbling, and gold filagree patterns like you find in old style European palaces.
Lara Croft	Hieroglyphs and runes of varying cultures set in stone.
Lelouch vi Britannia	Complex interconnected blue lines that sporadically glow red and violet. This symbol flies through it. A video representation along the lines of I'm picturing can be seen here at about 1:45 in.
Luna	A somewhat cartoon-y looking cat head with a crescent moon. (This without the antenna.)
Manuela Hidalgo	Delicate and slightly uneven soft angles, usually a dull brown, sometimes 'warming up' to orange colors (think hot metal).
Mao	A fragmented line of fuschia, occasionally branching off into several strands before coming together again.
Nash Latkje	Mainly teal that tapers in and out, occasionally flitting like the flap of a bird's wing, although sometimes shot through with parallel lines of black and white.
Orihime Inoue	The remnants of her will had broken apart into six uniform pieces, much like the hairpins she wore, with each piece disintegrating into softly glowing shards, like petals or drifting snow.
Ratchet	Ratchet's broken chevron with base, an Autobrand over the base part. The entire thing appears to be made out of glowing red and white circuit board. It all sits upon a single, slowly rotating golden gear. The "eyes" of the brand glow blue.
Raye Hino	A softly glowing flame framing the kanji of a sacred symbol. The symbols cycle endlessly, one fading for another to appear and take its place.
Rex Salazar	A slowly turning silver cog wheel etched with glowing blue neon circuit board patterns. At its center is the Omega-1 Nanite, white light peeking through the seams.
Rion Steiner	A strange and chaotic pattern that looks sort of like this.
Samus Aran	These symbols In bright green with background of zeros and ones.
Sideswipe	Silver colors—light and dark. A pair of swords, crossed, stamped with a scuffed Autobot sigil. Various Cybertronian glyphs scrolling down the edges, too fast to read clearly.
Sora	Stylized hearts, like the ones featured in the game logo, in several shades of blue, interspersed with yellow crown shapes, all connected by faint silvery shimmers of light.
Sqwydd	Swirls of black cloud with the occasional appearance of a green tentacle as though something is swimming through the dark mist.
Suzaku Kururugi	Chaotic streaks of red lines as if drawn with a large calligraphy brush with too little water and ink. It seems impressive with how many lines there are but ultimately does not have a deliberate shape or form and seems more like the traces of rapid fluid movement. The brushed kanji character for "fortitude" seems to linger sometimes and would be bold and clean among the rest of the chaos.
The Riddler	Parts of green question-marks that, to see the trace clearly, you need to line up to form correctly as in Batman Arkham Asylum (3:37-3:44 in video to make more sense, although it would more more pieces than just the dot and form.)
Thomas	…Plain. Um. Mostly neutral, earthy tones in an orderly, simplistic pattern. Like…squares. The pattern tends to be disrupted at times, however, depending on the situation.
V	Elegant cursive script, interrupted for a few words in chickenscratch scrawls. The script is black, maroon, and red, the scrawls red and orange; both seem to be behind a sort of heat-shimmer.
William Jesse Grant	Blackand a warm candle-light color/glow, looking like crosses and musical notes on old paper.
Wing	A gold colored technical drawing of the Great Sword. The gem glows blue.
Xemnas	Silver, white, and/or black spiraling lines (sometimes the silver or white as a reflective, contrasty setting) with some sharp edge to them. All of it looks cool, but…yeah.
Yuffie Kisaragi	A single transparent orb that pulses with colored light, changing from blue to purple to yellow to green to red, cycling through at random.
