Cavalcadence plays Cadence 25: Rifle + Ring of Courage!
For anybody who's interested in custom Cadences (or other characters), the official NecroDancer FAQ has some info about creating custom characters, and even has a link to the pinned thread on the official forums, where people have posted some of their custom creations:

So... as a little break from Cadence Low Percent attempts, I decided to see if I could improve my Cadence Speedrun record a bit, since it had been sitting at a little under 15m for... quite a while. ^^;
I did eventually manage to improve it a little... but not by much. I'm still not very good at NecroDancer speedrunning. ^^;;
Anyway, one of the more interesting things that happened during these speedrun attempts... I had a run where I found both a Rifle and a Ring of Courage! I don't think I've ever seen that combination before (the Rifle is pretty rare, and I'm still not very good at using the Ring of Courage properly, so I usually don't pick it up)... but the fact that these two items could push you both forward and back at the same time... seemed like it could be both interesting and useful. =)
Anyway, here's the video... hope you enjoy!
The mini-bosses and bosses I encountered during this run were:
Zone 1: Direbat, Gray Minotaur, Red Dragon, and Death Metal 1.
Zone 2: Gray Direbat, Red Dragon, Blood Nightmare, and Deep Blues 2.
Zone 3: Gray Direbat, Green Banshee, Gray Minotaur, and Coral Riff 3.
Zone 4: Red Dragon and Ogre.

4:44 Empty Double Heart Container & Cheese. Whoops, realized a second too late that I did that in the wrong order... should've picked up and used the Cheese first for the Charm of Gluttony bonus. =p

8:19 Interesting... the invulnerability that the Ring of Courage gives you makes teleport mages a little less dangerous with the Rifle. =)
8:34 Watching this video now, I realize I completely missed spotting that Potion on the left, here. ^^; I was paying more attention to the Shop on the right... and then the bomb goblin... and then the confuse mage and the Red Dragon...
8:37 Mini-boss: Red Dragon
8:46 Heart Container! This is also when I noticed the Potion. =) But I was still kind of going for speed, and the exit was within sight, so... I went for speed instead of safety. ^^;;
9:00 Zone 4, Level 2
9:38 Mini-boss: Ogre
9:39 Ack, realized a moment too late that the wall would protect the ghoul... so I tried moving away from it to draw it out of the wall... but of course, the Ogre was there, so... things went downhill rather fast after that. =p
9:44 Half a heart of health left. That... could've gone better. ^^;
9:51 Zone 4, Level 3
10:01 Pixie heal! =)
10:27 "You died! Press Up + Down to continue." Exploding statue + ooze tile. =p Looking over the video... I really should've attacked the harpy here (or better yet, a couple moves earlier). I'm still not used to using the Ring of Courage, it seems. =)
