Asu no Arashi: Recruiting Character Artists
Posted: Tue May 25, 2010 9:11 pm
I know that I already have a topic for the mecha art, but I though that not mentioning I need a character artist was a blunder.
the basic story line is as follows
A city ruined by the darkness of science, and a man who regrets his life wanders through the squalor of this world, and woman pursued by fate, together they will smash destiny. A blood red threat impeads their path, an army of steel clothed in lies. The power of their combined spirits is the force that open the way.
I'm probably being too vauge, here is a more conventional summary. However, if your looking for conventional writeing, I'm not the best choice.
The main character is a boy named Zepp, who lives in a city that has no cable, internet, or even radio from stations outside the city. This leads to the cities nickname, the city of static. Zepp hates the city, and wishes for a tommorrow outside. Enter Nia, who seems to have an entire para-military force chaseing her. Completely dumbfounded by the situation, and desperate to save his own life, he agrees to gattai (combine) with her, and the pitch-black mech named Arashi is born.
one thing, I have absolutely no money, so I can't pay anyone anything
Perhaps I was wrong to ask for the mecha designs first. I'd now like to ask for character designs. Some of the characters themselves are plot twists, so I'll reveal who I can.
Zepp Luftlin: I'm thinking he should look like a younder version of this picture of Lordgenome
. He is a bit of a pessimist and a skeptic. He's also cold at times. Though like any dynamic character he changes over the story. He pilots Arashi. A black mech with the ability to break anything, which usually ends up causing massive property damage.
Nia: She's quick to point out when someone messes up, or does somthing right. A kind of voice of reason at times, as opposed to Ekiso who will intergect his idea but not enforce it, she make sure everyone is listening. She co-pilots Arashi, and dosen't care much about property damage caused during the fights.
Ekiso: He's the groups straight man. He thinks much deeper than the others before acting. He pilots a mech, but I can't reveal it's name yet.
Hisui: Ekiso's partner. Her entire motivation is to knowing everything. She belives Zepp's fighting style (which often throws logic to the wind) is interesting and joins up. She co-pilots the as of unnamed mech.
Kaima: He's that guy among your friends who you can't count on to bring a fishing pole to a lake. He's optimistic, and cares even less than Zepp about logical combat strategy. He pilots Ryusei, which is able to control fire (and is constantly on fire, even in space and underwater.)
Yuri: She's bounlessly confident in her (limited) ability. She proclaims herself leader of the main characters, and does poorly (usually just repeating what Zepp says). Though she still belives she is a great leader.
Xenova: he's the leader of the Crimson Order's (evil organization) mech pilots. He's a bit sarcastic about the traditions he's bound too (such as always having to charage an opponet with a crime so the Crimson Order will seem in the right.). He's prone to rambleing. He pilots another black mech called Shinya, which seems to have Arashi's ability.
Atonement: Xenova's partner, she is basicly a lifeless shell, and can't do anything (literaly) but fight in Shinya. Xenova explains this as extreme mental conditioning.
Cygn: he's basically a jerk. He's cocky and a coward. He also has a habit of not keeping his word, and useing guns in addtion to his mech Revolver.
Remorse: due to mental conditioning, she belives she loves Cygn (mental conditioning seems to make you a flat character.)
Invera: She's cold blooded and calculating. This puts her at odds with Zepp, who often is unpredictable and disregards his "0%" chance of victory. Despite this, she has a bit of a big sister side towards Vengence. She pilots Azure Gaze, which controls water in all three states.
Vengence: mentally, Vengence is still a child, and claims to hate piloting (which leads Zepp to call her a hypocrite.). She co-pilots Azure Gaze.
Alright, there are a few more, but as I said, these characters are in and of themselves plot twists.
