Character Idea Showcase (Up Next: Daisuke, the Haunted Armor)

Yeah, I feel bad only doing so many and leaving ones out that people wanted to see. Maybe if I end up doing this again they can show up for that.

So yeah, sadly no Eagle presentation today. That’s been moved to Monday. At least it gives me a little more time to tidy things up.

Needs more gorgons. And Lovecraftian monsters.

Crowley, Mako, Gigante, Darius, Reiketsu, Vyle, Cassidy, and Sol would be my personal 8 choices, but those all sound like pretty cool story arks.

I didn’t do a gorgon/naga type character because I’m just personally not too much of a fan of the idea, and I don’t wanna do a disservice to an idea because I lack passion towards it. I did end up thinking of one that I kinda liked after the poll, so they might show up in the poll for the next wave if that ends up happening.

As for the Lovecraftian monster, that’s what Lot’boa is. It was pretty close, but Andrey ended up winning the vote for the “boss” character, so Lot’boa will have to bide its time I guess.

Aw, what a shame.

What is Andrey, by the way? I didn’t see him mentioned in the original post and didn’t read through the entire thread…

If you care to reconsider the gorgon on a later date, perhaps my own backstory idea will give you some inspiration (I merged it with the “archer” character):

Oh, Andrey was my “vampire lord” idea. Him and Lot’boa were both part of the “boss” character poll, which I added later on.

And as for the gorgon, don’t you worry. They will definitely be a part of the next poll if it happens. I really hope I can make that poll happen, too, since there are some character ideas I had after the initial poll that I ended up really liking. Your idea lorewise for the gorgon is actually somewhat similar to the one I had that I ended up liking. It was Blight, a cultist who served Gargos during his invasion that was transformed by the corruption into a form similar to a gorgon or naga. I’ll try and merge these two ideas.

Report is in, my artist is now flu-free! Daisuke’s art should be ready some time this weekend, so expect his showcase then.

Has there been anything new lately?

After some very unfortunate circumstances, I should be able to get the next one up tomorrow. Really sorry to have fallen behind, but a lot of things came up.

I’d like to see a dark kinky orchid :wink:

Have u also thought about their music?

I tried to think of a character from a mix of India & Indonesia like Kim Wu who used to be Chinese-Korean.

I can’t think of something like that.

I need help. All I can think of is something “Bollywood”.

Argh you guys almost set me off on an anti-vampire tirade lol. The most overrated cliche EVER, lol. Don’t need any more of them. Mira is fine and her alchemical mercury weapon makes her unique enough that I can’t hate her despite her handicap. The weapon alone saves her and gives her some originality in my eyes.

My eyes perked up at a Jeckyl and Hyde type character though. Eyedol paved way for character with almost two movelists, lol. He shouldn’t be the scientist though he should be like a wannabe serial killer that steals and takes the potion to become a Jack the Ripper type with abilities of some sort. Don’t know what the base person could have aside from a drunken fighter type move where he drinks a potion to transform into soneone useful but maybe that’s the point maybe he sucks and could be the “Dan” of KI and “Jack” could be closer to OP. His instinct could be “Overdose” where he stays as Jack the whole duration and gets further enhanced but will automatically be dropped below danger on his life bar if you fail to kill them before instinct runs out, lol. I’m thinking maybe Jack has like “poison” or boosted Potential Damage with his knife attacks in the form of insane bloodloss which becomes scarier in instinct mode lol. And to clarify for younger people by “Dan” of KI I meant the original Dan in Street Fighter Alpha a character so bad it was considered a humilition to lose to. So there would be an achievment for “Win a match in any mode without ever transforming into Jack” levels of lame here, lol.

Also you could merge the idea of Sol-Dakuri with the Minotaur as his curse for betraying the king. I’m a spinal main and would like to see where they go with the other people involved in that plot that got cursed but we haven’t seen yet. Sol-Dakuri is the general from that story according to lore given and the minotaur war general with a war hammer that may gain unblockable weapon attacks during instinct (idea based on Hammer of Sol item in SL) sounds like a literal headache begging to be released from its labyrinth.
