Character design - Ideas for new characters

[Yann]

I'd like to use this thread to bring along my creativity and have fun with imagining some new characters.

Feel free to add your own ideas as well.

I begin with an idea I have:

??? (Name to be found)
Fight: 2
Body: 4
Wits: 4
Spirit: 5
Power: Gains +1 Rot when it dies.
Clan Affinity: Night.

Rings:

1. Character is healed by 1 at nightfall.
2. Gains 1 Fight for every 5 rot.
3. Moon dice can replace other dice in perils.
4. In battle, gains 2 Shields if the opponent is ambushed.

Comment:
Alright, you might think that 2 Fight only is weak. And in normal circumstances it would be totally true. However, as you might already have understood, the idea of this character is the possibility to die a lot at the beginning of the game to become corrupted and you'll become very powerful against banes, the king, and other corrupted characters. This could be a perfect character to use for the Rot victory, which is currently very hard to achieve.

Edited: Changed the power from "Gains +2 Rot when it dies" to "Gains +1 Rot when it dies", because the first version was maybe too strong.

ive been thinking a boar would be cool to throw on the board but idk if a rot specific hero would be fair late game. i mean look at what every other champ starts out with at the beginning of the game that brings them closer to any one outcome they all start with 1 stone, 0 prestige, 0 rot.(unless they have an amulet for it)

[Raine]

I have thought that adding a fox that could move a few more spaces to help with the stone victory

[Vrodenorm]

All these animals we see on the cards: Fox, Dog, Hedgehog, Badger, Raccoon.
And the animals like Boar, Bull, Lizard (Crocodile maybe or Geckos)
Perhaps a bird, yeah, why not.
And Cat. Cat or nothing!

[Raine]

true we need the cats :D

[Yann]

Haha it's funny to see how we are complementary. I have ideas about the gameplay of characters and you have ideas about the animals. Let's keep up the good work :)

Edit: Now that I think about it, it would be cool to have a bird.

[Undeadpossum]

maybe a berserker (boar,platepus,wolverine,or badger) dun matter gd goldfish....

fight 6
body 3
wit 3

But bird hasn't paws to keep weapon. Do you want to use wings as paws? It is unusual.
Yeah, need to think about.

(I am unsure if this fits the topic, if it does not I apologise as I did not see anywhere eles this would fit)

While I cannot give any sort of stats or rings or the like, one thing I would like to see is some non-european inspired clans (within reason of course), like say, middle eastern trader clan (I think this is a sterotype but what can one do), some african/moorish nomad/warlock clan (Hyenas maybe?), maybe even a Greek/Byzantine one or I dare say a Indian clan (Dervish Tiger anyone?), with the races and classes as it where they could bring.

I am unsure on the developers stance on clan suggestions, but simply my 2 pence, if this does not fit spirit of topic I will amend this message and I am sorry for derailing.

i woul like to see a bird hero that has extra ap to move around the board

[UnderKingDuck]

While I do not have the experince yet to make character suggestions as of now, I would love to see a monkey, pig, and duck character.

My cat bit my finger today, just out of the blue, then Starbound gets an update after all this time, but my finger hurts too badly to play WASD games. I think I'm done with cats.

I like this idea, maybe has 5 AP, but costs 2 AP to attack something.

[Narkulus]

An old buzzard with extra AP, low attack, but the ability to scavenge a random card from you if he beats you in battle.
