@Ginosaji I could see a Witch character after looking at the direction that Klei has gone with the updates.

@TheTraditionalGentleman I can also see a Butler too, that's pretty cool! Charlie could have a Butler.

@knightzaid I always thought about Pigmens, but I'm having trouble thinking of its abilities that other characters don't have.

@ShadowDuelist Some shipwreck  characters would be nice, but seeing as how they're abilities are water related, I don't know, I mean, they could change them. 

@DwerBomb M-M-Marble character.....M-M-Maybe.

 

Idk, me personally, seeing as we have:

  1. 2 People that can use magic. ( 2)
  2. A guy that can cut trees fast and turn into a beaver. (1)
  3. Beard growing / Spider boy. (2)
  4. Balanced Fire starter. (1)
  5. A Mighty man and Woman. (2)
  6. Wes (1)
  7. A  Ghost companion. (1)
  8. Upgradeable Robot. (1)

We need to think of characters that aren't as similar to what we already have.

I'm thinking of a Animal Whisper character, he/she has the ability to tame beefalo faster, hounds, and tall birds. (could add new mobs in the beta for this character to tame or just some mobs that I'm not thinking of that are already in game.)

Cons - his/her love for creatures makes you feel guilty eating animals, so you lose a bit of sanity each time you eat anything meat related.

Pros - your abled to fight off hostiles with your pet companions and help other players obtain beefalos faster. (only you can tame these hostile creatures though, everyone can tame a beefalo, but not as fast you can)

I see this as a new challenge since you now have to worry about eating certain foods to balance sanity.

The status would all be on Klei to decide.

 

So maybe playing as this guy?

 

I'd play that. Unless this isn't a character, and this is secretly inside of every beefalo. *shudder*. Just think of that the next time you go riding one around . . .

I'd love lore on the skin seller/trader. He doesn't even have a wiki entry and that depresses me.

What's up with all these recent ships sailing out, peeps?

I'm not really a fandom romantic, I'm just using apophenia to put together future speculation of what the fandom might do.

While I have always really wanted the witch Waverly in the game ever since I saw her (albeit sparse) files on the wiki back when i first played the original DST...

I feel like Wickerbottom already has that "theme" covered with the magic books. Plus, if/when Klei implements Halloween skins - Wickerbottom could (and most likely would) get a witch one.

So my personal favorite is definitely a butler: (image randomly picked from google)

Winston - The Snooty Butler (ideas below image)

One of his perks could be having a serving tray that he can take the lid off of once a day (or every couple days) to reveal an item. This could be a totally random food item from a predefined loot table such as a Turkey Dinner, or Wet Goop... etc or a unique (food) item that only he can reveal that would have some awesome benefits. Could also be any item, really but food makes more sense.  (haven't really thought too much into this as I just thought of it and have to go to work soon)

Also - I'd love for him to have a crush on Wickerbottom. His sanity could maybe raise when he's around her a bit, but lower when he is around other characters. When he is around Maxwell his sanity could drop at a higher rate. Or he could simply have fun little examination quotes when he examines a Wickerbottom or anything related to her for flavor and fun :).

The sanity drain/gain could be exploited though - by players griefing a poor Winston player by mobbing him :(

When he's around random characters, it'd be funny for him to say such things as "Meh... filthy peasant" or something to reinforce his "snootiness".

No more ideas as of the moment... Help me build on him :D

Well, let me drop in my two cents: Add a homage to Agatha Christie/the Boardgame Clue and make him a detective butler. You could also draw him as a foil to both Maxwell and Wickerbottom but still make himself a stand out character.

I'm all for new characters in Don't Starve, but first I think that Klei should work on tweaking the existing ones to the point where the player base is (at least mostly) content. Although, I too have a few ideas for new characters of my own that I ought to get around to sharing..

Also, the Wendy Webber ship is the only one worth sailing. Any other vessel combination involveing either of them better bust out the life boats because I will personally sink it myself. :wilson_incredulous:

I think it'd be only right we get Charlie as a playable after the New Reign beta has gone official, leaving us with a portal to Adventure Mode to unlock her the same you do as Maxwell!

Just to really kick us in the gut though, I think we should have to unlock Charlie AS Maxwell. Whether it ends up back where it started and Maxwell is back on the throne, Charlie is a monster again and everybody's still miserable, or we get an ending where everything is figured out, I'd love for you to have to face Charlie AS Maxwell or at least for her to give him a different reaction than other players.

I know Wilton already has sound files, but if it's ever implemented I want it to be voiced by an Aztec Death Whistle

Oh, cool. That would add character to Wilton. I'd totally be fine with a Dia de los Muertos type of character added.

Do you guys ever have that one character you just abhor for no explainable reasons?

THIS GUY.
