Trust me, once you get going on their movelist, you start thinking about things your characters can do and it can really help to develop them.
R u gonna do another character showcase after this one?
Iād love to. Thereās some characters here that wonāt make it in that I really wanna showcase, so Iād be more than happy to do another one once this one finishes.
Only about 3 hours left. Unless thereās a big shake-up, its seems our 9 are pretty much decided. But who knowsā¦
I find the top 8 very interesting and I look forward to seeing more of it. My question is would Eagle be sort of a hybrid of Fulgore and Thunder or something different on his own? Yakone would have picked up her skills from her bow or has already been trained in archery? I like the Mako idea but would he be an actual shark man or someone who fights like one? Iād like to see Kelvin and how heād represent Glacius race from another perspective, I see nothing wrong with two different aliens. The Wendigo and living war sound cool.
I canāt wait for the next. It would be nice for @TempusChaoti and the gang to take interest in holding a create-a-character contest.
Sounds fun. How long is the contest for?
With Eagle, I kinda went with an amalgamation of ideas. I remember it being mentioned in Thunderās story that he was āa wrestler and amateur boxerā. So, I decided to mix some elements of Fulgore, Thunder and Combo. The end result, if I were to think of something it would be close to, ends up kinda being like Dudley if he had command grabs. Heās the first character I plan to showcase, so youāll know soon enough.
Yakoneās spent years learning archery from her mother. It actually plays a very important part in her story early on.
Project Mako was created as a direct successor of Project Stalker, so the product of it would be much like a Stalker. That means Mako is going to be a blend of mako shark DNA and human DNA. As for how he fights, well, letās just say he fights dirty.
And thank you for the feedback! Iām glad to see the response to this was a lot better than I was expecting. I hope I deliver what people want to see once I start actually presenting developed ideas.
And thatās a wrap! Now to count the votes from this poll an the strawpoll and weāll have our top 8, which will be announced shortly.
And the top 8, along with how many votes they got, are:
Mako (15)
Sol-Dakuri (15)
Eagle (14)
Daisuke (12)
Sinew (12)
Yakone (12)
Reiketsu (12)
Cassidy (11)
And the ābossā character isā¦ Andrey!
That last spot in the top 8 was real close. There was a 5-way tie for it until a couple hours ago. Gigante, Kelvin, Darius and Vyle were real close! But there you have.
I was hoping Kelvin would have made the top 8 but oh well, iām still looking forward to the rest of them and canāt wait. Also I think youāre right it was mentioned in Thunderās story that his brother Eagle was a wrestler and boxer, so if they do put him in next season or whatever I can see a moveset incorporating those styles in one. Wonder if heād go for a more human type character or a non human.
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.

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 didnāt do a gorgon/naga type character because Iām just personally not too much of a fan of the idea, and I donāt 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, thatās what Lotāboa is. It was pretty close, but Andrey ended up winning the vote for the ābossā character, so Lotāboa will have to bide its time I guess.
Aw, what a shame.
What is Andrey, by the way? I didnāt see him mentioned in the original post and didnāt read through the entire threadā¦
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 āarcherā character):
Oh, Andrey was my āvampire lordā idea. Him and Lotāboa were both part of the ābossā character poll, which I added later on.
And as for the gorgon, donāt 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. Iāll try and merge these two ideas.
