Winstad


Recommended Posts

Introducing Winstad! I came up with him when i was thinking about my favorite food catfish while i layed on my bed....yes i know that's weird how i came up with him but he's a fisherman. I will gave an example of what he will be below:

 

 

Winstad

The Fisherman

"The fish's are callin to Me!"

Makes great fishing rods,is a tough fisher

Merms and frogs don't mind Winstad

Brings a fishy friend

 

So i bet your wondering..... "He's a tough fisher? What does that mean?" Well some fishermen become tougher from fishing and catching heavy fish, so he is a experienced fisher and can catch 2 fish at a time whenever he cast's his rod so can can catch like 6 fish when he casts his rod 3 times, also i may want to mention he has a fish as a pet, it's similar in design and animation to catcoon, its a fish with a long fishy tail, it walks on its fins which are like little legs with fins on the toes and it has big black eyes with a sharp teethed mouth, it respawns every 2 days so Winstad dosen't go insane! He is also able to tame merms with frog legs or fish/eels. A appearence description would be he wears overalls  and a fisherman hat, he can take it off but it will take down his sanity a little bit until he puts it back on. It's a sentimental thing with his hat, he has a grey beard, it's basically Wilsons beard at stage 2 so he has some warmth for winter but not much, and he wears brown boots. Yup so that's Winstad, tell me what you think.


i would have to say his current stats would be

Health: 175

Hunger: 175

Sanity: 170  

 

I don't think its op, if you do then im sorry, but i think it would fit him, he's an old experienced fisherman so i think it kinda fits

I really like this idea, especially the fact that he cam tame merms :D 

but i think the idea of giving him his own rod (with unlimited uses i'm assuming?) on top of catching more fish with each cast would make him very over powered, basically not having to worry about hunger. Maybe a way to balance it would be that he doesn't have his own rod, but when using a crafted rod, he catches two fish per cast still giving him that fisherman edge :)

 

Overall a very intriguing character suggestion, i would enjoy seeing some concept art showing how you imagine him

I will try actually, but i am not the best at making DS stylized characters, it's not easy, maybe the facial hair and the head hair or something and the base design but.....it's hard for me, ill need some help or someone design him for me.

He sounds cool, I'd try him out. Sounds like he could fit in DS.

Why wouldn't he?! We already have a scientist, a librarian, a robot, a beraved little girl, a pyromaniac girl, a circus strongman, a valkyrie, a cursed lumberjack, a french mime that sucks, a dapper fancy man and a humanoid spider! How could he not fit in?! He's perfect! Tell your friends to check this thread so they can give their opinions about it. :D the more who notice it, the more klei might actually put him in the game! :D

I think for now the current stats would be his before the "Strange new powers" his new powers would be different and probably the same but better versions of his current perks, some examples of  "Strange new powers" perk for him would be..

Has the power of the Magic Conch

frogs and merms don't hate him

Master of rain and stop rain

 

those are examples! Not what i will actually say will happen currently but i think the only stat i will keep is the frog and merms thing, since frogs will actually give him sanity if he is at low sanity frogs will be a sanity buff but probably like a +8 per frog.
