Thinking about the world for this Xenoblade idea. Initially I was thinking of an island world (either in a normal ocean or sky islands) but that could get too similar to Alrest. Then it hit me, cave world. People live underground in these giant cave systems. You can have funky glowing crystals and wildlife, lakes, lava caves, icy caves, weird magnetism stuff like Pokemon's Chargestone Cave, super dark areas, ruins, mines, there's plenty of variety for these caves. There's also the whole "why the fuck is everyone underground what's going on on the surface". Were they forced to go underground, and if so was it because of some natural disaster or the actions of other people? Is it dangerous on the surface? Do the cave dwellers even know the world above even exists? Lot that can be done here.
Haven't done much on the characters yet since I'd like to get the whole situation with the cave world and the surface first. Will probably have a starting trio like Shulk/Reyn/Fiora and Noah/Lanz/Eunie, trio of childhood friends. Mentor figure is also likely, might have a kid join the group, and of course there's got to be a Nopon in the group but I'm not sure what they'd do. 5-7 is the range for permanent party members in Xenoblade games so I don't want to get too carried away.
Aside from humans and Nopon (they are everywhere), there's probably other new races but I don't have any ideas yet. Another thing is that while the numbered games lean towards British accents with some American and Australian accents thrown in and X has mostly American accents, I'd like to think that the cast of this game would have their own accent(s) to help signify that this is it's own universe. Not sure what accent they'd have, I am unfortunately a dumb American.

this wasnt supposed to happen. who are you people. leave.
fell asleep and had a dream i was fucking devastated to learn there was "no such thing as an ASCII maid. or a unicode maid." whatever the fuck that means
I mentioned a while ago I want to do a Xenoblade X combat Arts raffle. I still plan to do that, and will probably open the raffle early May and have it run for a week. I have some stuff that's due at the end of April that needs to get done first.
If you're interested in joining, think about what your Cross's favourite weapon and art is! If you've got multiple and you can't decide, I'll pick one for you!
Looking forward to drawing some fighting Crosses!
May as well organize the OC lore from the other day into one post, and add some new stuff.
THE BASICS:
Name/Title: Shockwave Thea (name might change, title’s good though)
Gender: Female
Age: 7th term (16)
Race: Blade (lightning element)
Affiliations: Colony Delta, Agnus
BACKSTORY AND RELATED STUFF:
Thea’s generally a pretty nice person, always looking out for the others in Colony Delta. Doesn’t take care of herself enough since she’s busy worrying about the others. She refuses to let anyone from Delta be hurt, and does her best to prevent enemies from attacking in the first place. With Cammuravi dead, she became the commander of Colony Delta (don’t ask me where it is I have no idea), wanting to continue his legacy as a leader of honorable warriors. She and the others in Delta respect Ethel despite her being a Kevesi commander after she spared him in their first battle.
If she was a Hero, her quest would involve the party fighting the members of Colony Delta, believing they were the ones who killed Cammuravi. Her Ascension quest would involve the current incarnation of Cammuravi reuniting with the people of Delta (also maybe meeting Ethel, either way Thea is still the adopted Ethelravi kid).
CLASS DETAILS:
Class: Bastion/Bastion Warrior (2nd is a Xenoblade X class name and we need all the rep we can get, but I think just Bastion sounds better)
Weapon: It’ll either be a halberd (similar to Cammuravi’s lance but still distinct), a gatling gun (one of the Bastion Warrior’s weapons in X), or a flail (I just think it’s neat).
Role/Nationality: Agnian Defender
Specializes in preventing enemies from attacking. Has a Launch art and can inflict Accuracy Down, don’t think I can do much more than that without making her broken.
I’ll add art and skill names after I settle on a weapon, I don’t know enough to make effects/descriptions for them though.
APPEARANCE:
This picrew is good enough for the face/general vibes, don’t think there’s any character creator that could let me get a fitting outfit for her. Making her look like the lightning Blade that she is would also be a pain since I don’t think there’s any where I could add stuff like a core crystal, ether lines, or other stuff to fit the theme.
you will take my pokemon quiz and attempt to identify pokemon by generation. Now,
I like stupid Nintendo games and other JRPGs. Call me Brim.
