Character mod suggestion: Warn the icy Inuk


Recommended Posts

So, this is a character that came up in my head today:

 

WARN

 

the icy inuk

 

"the colder, the better"

 

- loves ice hounds

- loves winter

- smells like a hound

 

His basic stats would be pretty standard. 120 health, 150 sanity, 150 hunger. During winter, he would have a constant sanity boost. However, during summer his sanity slowly drops. This effect gets worse when he overheats.

He has an affection for ice hounds, and his sanity doesn't drop when he's near them. Other hounds, however, still make his sanity drop. All hounds still attack him.

He smells like a hound, because he is around them more than others. This makes Beefalo, volt goats and pigmen aggressive towards him.

Walruses however, are neutral to him, and can be befriended the same way one normally does with a pig.

Special equipment that he could make would be:

 

A whip: 1 rope, 5 twigs and 1 pigskin: does the same damage as an umbrella, but puts ice hounds to sleep for a full minute. When put to sleep, he can pick them up. 10 uses.

A sleigh: 10 logs, 6 cobwebs and 10 hound teeth: can be used to craft a hound sleigh.

A hound sleigh: 1 sleigh, 2 ropes and 2 ice hounds: can be used as a means of faster travel (between 1.5 and 2 times faster). Use it to step on it, use the movement keys to move, and press the use key again to exit it. (I know that this would be the hardest to make, since there is no such thing in the game yet.)

An easier option would be to make the ice hounds friendly instead of putting them to sleep when hitting them. Not as fun, but still nice.

 

A few quotes that I thought of were:

Ice hounds: My beautiful companions!

normal hounds: That's not my companion!

fire hounds: You fear the ice! Weakling!

pengulls: You don't belong here!

Deerclops: That's a biiig Nanook!

Bearger: Nanook?!

Walruses: Maybe they want to team up?

 

Feel free to use it if you are interested, and any critique/suggestion is welcome. Since I have a terrible pc I don't have the game for pc(I play on ps vita), so I can only imagine these mods, and not actually make them. Also, I'm terrible at coding (although I could probably learn that).

Pick up Ice Hounds? As in as inventory items? O__O

No way, I dreamt about this too!! But then would it still be viable AFTER Winter? When there's no snow?

 

:D Love the idea of an Ice-related character... something ice staff-y maybe? shame Summers can virtually kill him :T

Yeah, that's what I was thinking of. It would be quite hard to mod in, but it doesn't seem impossible, seeing how birds are also possible to pick up. Pockets filled with hounds, haha!

They would starve at the same rate as other caught animals if not fed, and feading them would be near impossible seeing how they attack you as soon as you drop them. Makes it a bit more of a challenge.

 

And I was thinking about letting the sleigh break when winter ends, basically like the breaking animation of an axe/pickaxe/tool. This way you'd have to work for it every winter, making it not too easy to obtain. Also, after breaking the hounds are released, forcing you to fight them.

 

I see the problem with summer. It's already hated (although I have to say I just go on with standard life during summer, I don't see the problems) and people find it difficult already. Maybe, he could do something special with another sort of ice staff, to help him survive in summer. Maybe a staff of frost, that would need two blue gems, a spear and some ice to help his sanity remain the same during summer. It would slowly loose durability while carrying it. Not so sure about that one, it might need some working on.
