General new character talk for DS/T (+ A decent(?) character idea i had)

[TomatoSaucey95]

(This is my first post in this forum, if i miss anything let me know! and also say hi to me and such :>)

it's been a while since we got a offcial playble character and such (likely due to klei making new games and the new character skill tree overhaul), and i guess its the best time as ever to especulate on what to think will be coming in da future and such. I don't think we will get a new character update for at least a few months and such, since Mind over magic was released and such, but for DS/T content, i think its early enought for us to share some ideas and such here (maybe some mod will take a lot at it? :O), and just do some fun especulation while still being resonable for DS/T and such. I know 99% of these ideas prob will be brushed over, but i mean, its nit 0% that any idea and such will be picked by klei, but since they like to mix and match new ideas to their IPs and such, i think its worth to take a look.

This post was also a small way to me to share a idea i had to a character like 3 days ago or smth? Anyways, its idea of a revived ancient from the dead ancient civilization (from the 2 puzzles that i forgot the name of them). Since the last DST short, chalie got to comunicate with a ancient's shadow with success, and i wanted to expand on the ancient's themselfs, their culture, religion, tech and such. And i have been thinking of this character idea for a while, and i decided to write a google doc to document most of his gameplay. This doc is more of a template-ish for any changes and such, if klei decides to pick it up. But i also think it would be a great modded character once i get into that. I tried balancing both gameplay and lore backstory of this character idea (both cuz fans like gameplay of a char more than its lore, even if klei recently is expanding more on the lore nowadays), so it both fullfills my vision for a greater expanded lore, and a interesting character for hardcore gamers. I think theres a bit to cover and there's some things i like to add to the doc, but i have talked a bit on the klei discord server on the doc for balancing and such. Idk how high the bar is for a character that is just a idea rn, but i hope a klei mod or someone else sees this (if u are one, thank you btw!), even if i get rejected, i might make a modded version of him thought!

anyways, heres the doc (warning: lots of text) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GdxceZUsM2kbw2AK6KTZvdwxPGajsErsBaX6oy4bTLg/edit?usp=sharing, and i guess i will say goodbye for now, i will stop my yapping here lol. toodles!

no no you got it all wrong people WANT lore, but because it's being given in such pitiful crumbs we had to resort to gameplay to make sense some of them. For example, the majority of players didn't know that Maxwell had a brother, Jack. He was in the William Carter puzzles that had been around since 2014 (aka DS-era), yet gameplay-wise in DST the only time Maxwell ever said his name was when he encountered a deadelganger that possessed him.

"Jack? No, wait."

Well, i do have some neat ideas lorewise that i like to share and such, like him being a prince and the 2 main leaders of th ancients being his mom and dad. But i understand what ur talking about now, i was never dipping my fingers deep in the DS/T community outside of youtube and alike. I think i still need some more clearification and stuff about the communty, since i'm more of a lore nerd and such, but i do keep in mind what ppl want and don't. Anyways, i also want to thank you for seeing this btw! have a great day :>
