Axelocke Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 The Current Pattern It seems the pattern for the DLC characters revolve around non human, constant born creatures who don't bare much significance to the main survivors' storyline. Wortox and Wurt are both playable characters of pre-existing species within the constant, (Imp, Merm) with Wormwood being a unique case of half moongem, half vine amalgamation. Why a Rabbit? They could be a character that references the "Rabbit in the Moon" myth. It might fit the current focus on the Moon, Lunar Island, and "Them." Perhaps they fell with the chunk of island, came down by other means, or were mutated with exposure to lunacy. Their character skins could reference Alice in Wonderland with Victorian (Hare in a vest?), Rabbit's winter coat with Snowfallen, and a Roseate getup to fit Charlie's Reign? Or even a unique Celestial set. Features? Perhaps this character could have their sanity meter replaced with a permanent lunacy meter, a follower of the moon, perhaps. Their gameplay twist could revolve around trying to keep as little sanity as possible, since it's better to be insane with lunacy. To balance the early game, this character could start half enlightened to give themselves a head start. They could have many lunar/moon implications in their abilities, be it through unique celestial items, magic, etc. Here are a few rough sketches of what a rabbit build could look like. (Plus some skin ideas, cause I was having fun.) Perhaps the Victorian skin (far right) would be a better base for the character? Summary Regardless of who, or what the final DLC character is, I'm excited to see what the future has in store. Whether the next character is a pre-existing species in the constant or a new entity entirely, what do you all think it could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike23Ua Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I’m still trying to decide if the final character should be a Rabbit, or a Rocky.. Both have great potential to build our own little civilization with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Die Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 i could get behind this but i don't wanna have anymore characters? before everything else is balanced out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, coming off from the previous DLC characters, it is very likely that the new character will also be non-human character, inspired from the mobs in the constant.

Zeklo Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I do very much want a lunacy-themed character and I've always wanted a rabbit character. So I'm behind this 100%. Fancy art too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the rabbit's form will be directly connected to its lunacy meter? Such as a normal rabbit at low lunacy and glowing one or something at high lunacy? They will have to somehow bring lunar island creatures to the mainland though or maybe the rabbit will spawn the Gestalts at high lunacy? There are many things they can do with Nightmare or Lunar characters like Maxwell for example. Being addicted to nightmare fuel can give him abilities of any shape or form. I mean, look at fuelweaver. Maxwell can summon bones, etc if Klei chooses to give him the power. Having zero access to sanity also means zero access to nightmare fuel unless the rabbit ventures into the ruins which can be a big con. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it could have a way to plant dark flowers, as a way of keeping sanity down and getting refined nightmare fuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also maybe being completely enlightened could give him a powerful debuff (like being slower, getting attacked by ghestalts often, getting damaged by ghestalts unlike the regular characters, etc) but to make up for it, the lunacy level could act as a power source of sorts for a new skill. Maybe mindcontrolling lesser mobs temporally? Like befriending any type of lesser creature for X time with some kind of mental attack, or even controlling them if you want to (has anyone played oddworld: new and tasty? That kind of mechanic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
. Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Perfect idea! I have few ideas for this character -Able to hide in rabbit holes (like bushes) -Killing rabbits causes sanity drop -faster a bit than other characters -can jump low walls, near islands but lose hunger faster when do this -Raw fruits and vegetables is more healthy for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenologist Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Perhaps this rabbit character could gain miniscule amounts of nutrition from meats and more from meat-veggie foods. And as a possible downside, rockacadoes take away healh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
