Character Idea - Waifu, the merry bride

[Mewwix]

Hi, I know there's tons of Character Mods out there, but i wish to put up one of my own for you guys to take a look.

I have no experience in Programming nor am a good artist, but i do have a wild imagination. However, at the same time i would like things to be pretty much balanced. Hence after much imagining, I have made Waifu. She has a supportive gameplay, maybe couples can enjoy playing together with her. For people who plays solo but still like the idea of playing a supportive role, or minion-mancing, can enjoy her playstyle.

I have some artwork in mind but im a terrible artist. So if anyone would like to mod her out and wants my input on her character art, can contact me via PM.

Also, do comment below and let me know how you feel, and what tweaks can or should be made to her.

... I like the mechanics, but... Rather it stay a modded character. I for one have only thought that 2 out of every character I've ever seen in the workshop to be worthy of being in the actual game. Those two being Minari and Mastema. They are just aghfhsbjdddbfds soooo goood!

That mod would be sheer pro-marriage propaganda. An utopia. A lot of power here too (an armour of unlimited durability?).

If one considers marrying pigmen and bunnymen, why should Wicker be a problem? I deliberately leave out the social question marks of the mod (single people lose sanity, married ones are always happy, Webber and Wendy are minors).

A bouquet as a low-damage weapon COULD be fun though ;).

I see. xD Yeah. I have tried them. And they are pretty awesome.

Well. Am still a beginner at Don't Starve. So pardon my lack of balance knowledge. But i do prefer balanced characters. 

I didn't thought of Webber and Wendy though. Good point.

How about,

        1. Not able to marry other characters.

        2. Infinite duration armor then serves as just a design to differentiate the other pigs and bunnymens.

Also. The bouquet idea seems nice.

 

Edit. Now Waifu looks like a Wendy with the ability to have pig or bunnymen as a companion, removing the aoe attack for the ability to farm trees and mine. Haha xD

But then again. She will be quite weak in a sense as compared to Wendy as Wendy can still befriend pig and bunnymen to help her. Whereas Waifu will be stucked with what she chose.

Perhaps i can change some design ideas around to fit her into the character that partners with another character, yet not have the social issues with the use of marriage.

How about changing Marry into becoming Best Friend?

With the same item effects, just different item designs.  

[PanAzej]

Needs making babies. And then I want to eat the babies.

easy Krampus farm, too OP

How about joining the 'clan' of the chosen creature and becoming kinda like one of them? Your appearance changes, as well as perks. And then you can start talking with the chosen faction better, since you're one of them. You can easily just 'ask' other members of your faction to help you out, and stuff... Yeah, I'm going way overboard here.

Wait, whaaaaat? Nah, keep the marriage! Then changing the name of the character and whatever else would also need rethinking and agh! It's a good concept. Perhaps not good enough to be in the actual game (is subjective doe) but it would be pretty good for a mod. I mean, it's better than some other attempted Don't Starve character concepts that are supposed to be unique and those characters that are simply from other games/movies/whatever else. Just because marriage element is there, doesn't make it propaganda. I personally think the concept of marriage irl is just some stupid corporate nonsense, though for a game like this... You could take some inspiration from that one movie I think is called The Dead Bride, I believe. That's probably why I think you should stick to what you have approximately and just expand on it a tad bit. Make her unique, not that you haven't done that already, but make her really stand out

Edit: although actually you could tweak the name Waifu to something different... An actual humen name or something that sounds like one? Something that goes along the lines of "Wai" or something, but is an actual name... something that would make you think a bit from the name "oh, she's a bride of sorts" or something... Yeah, I might be pulling stereotypes, but hey, you're just making a character for DST here, ei?

Wynna, sounds good?  

Actually i just read somewhere that there isn't any actual age associated with the Characters. And yeah, i'll try to make her stand out more. I'm still thinking of ways to make it so that she doesn't become a poorer version of Wendy though.

[Arlesienne]

I do not think you need to change Waifu. I mean, she is your character - on the workshop, people pick what appeals to them. The idea is very amusing, so don't feel pressured to change the design ;)!

If you want rebalances...

Camp Mom perk: she can bond with any character for a sanity bonus on both sides. Any bonded player dying decreases her sanity.

Pigmen Love Her: pigmen, if befriended with her special craftables, stay friendly longer. Seven days before they require a new craftable?
