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 spiritual magic and vibrant lights that can inflict extreme hallucinations and nausea. Narakagana have four arms in the image of Ganesha. The swaying of these arms manifest illusions and bend the minds of whatever they are fighting against through the Narakagana's palm dance attack. The glowing circles seen on their trunks will disappear if they have succumbed to illness or are nearing the end of their lifespan.






Character Development 

In this game there is a Narakagana who can be recruited as a potential party member. At first, he is nothing but a mindless husk wandering aimlessly in his pilgrimage however after encountering the protagonist his circumstances change. After the player has successfully defeated him, the player is given the option to awaken him using a relic of Ganesha. If this is done the Narakagana will hear the real Ganesha speak to him thus granting him the name of Nirvana meaning liberation. While he is initially confused what do with his life now that his corrupted religion was proven false, he eventually decides to follow the protagonist looking for answers. He gradually relearns the feelings he lost through his interactions with the protagonist and the rest of the party.
