Found Character #6 Glide -Eye

Image
  Inspiration  Today I decided to use this oriental design I found in the Stout building for my character. When I originally saw this, I thought that it looked like a kite thus making me think of how I could make a kite into a game enemy.  Character Lore/Theory  Glide Eye is a common enemy that can be found within an open world rpg. It will shoot blazing laser beams at the protagonist and attempt to slice them with their sharp robotic claws. Despite their robotic claws and metallic make up it is unknown if Glide Eye's are actually robots or biological cyborgs. They are unable to communicate however they do have the capacitary to understand humans and exhibit a plethora of strange behaviors. When something enters the confines of their territory, they strike without mercy.  Psychology: Glide eyes have a history of learning and adapting to the world around them. Some think that this may be the reason for their mysterious behaviors. Glide Eyes study the strategies of the protagonist an

Found Character #5 Narakagana

Inspiration Today I decided to use a manhole cover as inspiration for my character. When I first saw this  the  simplistic  pattern made me think of earrings or some form of jewelry.  While thinking of how to make this creature uncanny I decided that human hands were the best way to go about doing this because it's difficult to make those fit naturally on to any creature. Character lore/Theory  These creatures were once known as followers of the Hindu God Ganesha however after falling victim to greed they became corrupted and devoid of emotions they once had not only distancing themselves from the real Ganesha but creating an entirely new god out of Ganesha's image. Narakagana are found in the Astral crossroads. They travel in groups similar to that of a pilgrimage searching for the distorted vison of Ganesha that dwells in their minds. Narakagana are very agile using their limbs to leap across and climb long distances in a matter of seconds. These beings attack with advanced s

Found Character #4 Zukugallu the Feathered Fury

Image
  Inspiration  Today I decided to develop a system to find my character. After taking 3 pictures of clouds while walking across campus. After that I sketched all of them onto a sheet of paper, merging different lines to get new shapes.  Once I finished doing that, I discovered two characters immediately. One was shaped like a dog while the other had a bird like outline. I eventually decided to go with the bird.  Sketches  Zukugallu takes inspiration from the Mesopotamian god Quetzalcotal. its design is a cross between a tropical bird and a dragon. Its wings are vibrant like macaw appearing a variety of colors usually shades of red.   Zukugallu is known to breathe fire and command large tornados at will. During this boss fight Zukugallu will use a variety of wind-based attacks and begin using fire if its health is low enough. The player can only battle Zukugallu at the Sky bound Sanctum during sun rise. This fight can be initiated by using the Sunwing Sigil at the temple's altar. Th

Found Character #3 Oyashio

Oyashio    Inspiration for my character  While walking to the library I stumbled across this odd structure next to Roberts Hall.  On closer inspection I noticed that the top part of this structure had something that looked like a head. The 2 loops also looked similar to ears or horns which gave me an idea for a possible NPC.  Character traits/Theory  The Oyashio are dragon like creatures commonly found in riverbeds, streams, and hot springs.  These creatures are peaceful towards humans with their diet consisting mostly of grapes and fish. Furthermore, due to their ability to communicate and establish relations with humans they were able to facilitate hot springs that welcome Oyashio and humans alike. Oyashio are good at heart always looking to help which makes it nearly impossible to dislike them. Many of them are blacksmiths and shopkeepers sometimes making their way into human society.  Changes to the Character Troupe One-way Oyashio differs from standard NPCs is through their vast k
