Hmm global... Just a thought but maybe it'd be cool if she had some sort of Chinese caligraphy on her hands that has a meaning on it...

For example her right hand can have the symbol for "fish" on it... and if she touches the ground with her right hand a fish will summon...

Just a thought :D

@Bren. All white would be cool. Maybe a sort of Ivory tone or something.

That game looks really nice and colorful. I think we should try to get our characters to have lots of different palette schemes, so they'd be visually distinct.

okay i realized it would be such a waste to not participate in this!

sooo... i decided to sketch my char...let's call him "Fred".

He's an ordinary guy, a painter, always drunk and he's always carrying a bucket, a brush and a bottle of beer with him :D


[collapse=looks kinda like this]

I haven't had much time to work on my character idea,a lot of family **** went down the past week.

Hopefully everything sorts itself out soon and I can get on it.

All of these characters are looking good.

I think it might be about time to set a deadline for character submissions though, I mean remember our final cast is going to be pretty small and we already have a good pool to work from.

For now I'm thinking 11:59 PM March 1st will be the last day to submit characters. Also, people can definitely submit more than one if they want to. Does anyone object to a deadline? Just want to make sure we keep moving forward with things.

I have no idea what to call the man. Might as well go with Sid because that's what just popped in my head.

As for style . . . He doesn't really have a style. Just alot of fight experience.

Sorry for getting here too late. My internet doesn't seem to work wirelessly atm. I can only get on through ethernet cable, and I'm limited with it.

So far we have 6 characters with a visual?

We have:

Mediterranean, Ceramic
Nordic, Ink
Abstract
Chinese, Watercolor
Plain (white) guy, Building painter
Rough tough guy

I think we should try to cover more styles and genres if possible. The representation is kinda lacking imo.

Came up with a new idea in school today :o
I'll scan his picture later...but his name is Voodoo.

Style is sewing. Weapons include a scissor (i think thats how itd be phrased...since its just one blade of a pair of scissors...), needles (limited number), and thread.
His mouth is sewn shut, so he speaks through his expressions.
Also he secretly likes to design really nice clothing and dolls, but he acts like a scary tough guy most of the time.

That sounds... so cool o_0

So many cool things you could do with needle and thread attacks...

His super should be like... stabbing himself... which hurts the opponent XD

I showed a friend this... he just gave me this as an idea for why everyone is... everyone...

"In a world where economics/capatlism/whatever has taken over, and big business has become the only point of mankind...a group of like-minded individuals came together, and each country supplied their own representative--their country's final beacon of art--to compete in the world competition. The competition will allow each country to showcase their national pride, national ability, draw communities together, and raise the global awareness on art." Make it like, the winner will raise art awareness, raise international creativity, and strive to improve art across the global."

Not sure if this is the direction we want to go... but just an idea.

I like that for a story. Although if each country in the world has its own ambassador then that's asking for a looooot of characters lol. I would say maybe each continent has its own representative, but then you get issues with trying to represent an entire continent with a single person... Messy territory.

Also, since it's a fighting game I dunno how violence 'draws communities together'. But I like the idea of these ambassadors coming together.

Maybe it's something like... each of these artist-representatives decided to come together to discuss possible solutions to this global business takeover, on friendly terms at first. And then -something- happens that causes conflict among them. Haven't worked out the -something- yet though... Maybe one of them defects and wants to stamp out art in favor of spreading capitalist intent. Or... something.

I've figured out his supers already. The one you gave is close, but he tends to carry around voodoo dolls, so he just uses those.
Another one is '1000 needle technique: Needle grave' where needles shoot outta the ground or sky or something. The stitches on his mouth dissolve during that, though, so he talks during that attack xD

Another Idea!

Name: Ray Nikon, the Japanese Photographer (ray for camera flash and nikon for the camera brand)

Age: 37

Skills: Photography master fight with a nice camera with a rather large external flash. He's also a master ninja.
Developer of Ninpo-Shashinjutsu.

General Look: Japanese business sheik. Full suit.

Entrance: Walks in saying something cool in Japanese.

Weapons: Nikon Camera

Fighting Style: Fighting style is based on quick, fast, long range strikes with long cool down. He incorporates the camera in his combat by using "photo-shuriken" by using his camera as a projectile launcher and by using his flash to stun opponents.

Special Moves:

Senkou (means flash): A stun attack that leaves the oponent dazed and ready to be comboed. Does little to no damage, must be used up close.

Shashin Shuriken(means photo-shuriken in japanese): His camera expels a spinning sharp photograph.

Super: He could take a picture of the oponent and capture their soul in the photo.. burn the photo... and do damage. Also, a giant spam of photo-shuriken can be sent or something of the like.


Dbl post but idea for global.. Why don't we name each character's moves by what they would be called in their area?

I.E. Selang's moves are in chinese.

:O That's a good idea! We could do that for the other characters too. Gonna take some research but it'll be worth it.

Also creating another character soon.

I come with a character!

Name: Blood

Age: 24

Background: A pirate radio DJ and veteran Grime artist from Bow E3, East London. He is also on the lookout for new musical talent. He has numerous pirate radio stations throughout East London and he stays connected to them with his portable backpack amplifier and microphone. This allows him to do live shows on the move and stay one step ahead of the police.

Likes: All musical genres, Women, electrical equipment

Dislikes: Business suits, Police

Skills and Equipment: He has the ability to manipulate frequencies his with backpack amplifier and microphone.

General Look: A rough, mean face dude with baggy jeans and a graphic tee.

Weapons: An amplifier that was passed down to him from his father, and a microphone he bought from a local record store. He spends his free time constantly tinkering with both of them.

Fighting Style: A street mix of Jeet Kune Do, Muy Thai and Boxing.

Special Moves

POW!: Blood turns around and screams into the microphone producing a sound blast that comes from his amplifier.

Mic Throw: Blood throws the microphone at the opponent with one hand, tugs the microphone cord with the opposite hand, and catches it with his throwing hand.

Mic Toss: Blood tosses the microphone on the ground as a trap, and when the opponent gets near the cord, he pulls the cord. The microphone (and cord) gets trapped around the opponents legs and Blood pulls them into the air. Not like super high in the air, but around chin height.

Super Combos

Foward!: Blood turns around and spits (rhymes) a few lines into the microphone, producing projectile sound blasts from his back pack amplifier.

Serious Riddim: During a Mic Toss, Blood takes off his amplifier backpack and places it on the ground toward the opponent, runs over to the microphone, picks it up and spits (rhymes) a few lines into the microphone producing sound blasts that come from the amplifier. These aren't projectile so the opponent has to be within striking range, so that when he takes of his amplifier, the sound blasts will connect.

Nice, we're still getting submissions. Can you give us a sketch? I like seeing visuals of these people, it helps a lot in understanding them as a whole.

That brings us to 9 characters. We should have a cutoff date pretty soon, maybe by like the 7th or something we hold off on adding any more. Might be time to start ironing out gameplay/possible story.

Here's a sketch for Blood.

I put the image in a URL. But how do you put images in a Hidden Message box?

Sketch

I think I'm gonna change his name. 'Cause blood is just a word young people in London use when talking to each other. Kinda like the word dude. Or playa.

I think Quincy sounds better. It's a play on the word frequency, and it can actually be used as a name lol.

Use
words here [/collapse] for hidden messages.

Hello!


Nice sketch though. And yeah, I was kind of wondering about the name Blood lol. Don't think he has to have a really ordinary name though, I say use whatever makes sense if there's good enough reasoning behind it.

Instead of just saying fial porject you could offer some new ideas :mad:

Well I can't get mad, I let this die too. Haven't seen our resident programmer post in a long time. We have characters and a story, but without knowing what sort of engine we're supposed to work with it all feels very vague. We could try to narrow down what sorts of bg/environments/menus/interfaces we want.
