Watchman Chronicles: Project Unity, UPDATE: Character Preview

Well so far if you hang around in IRC you've probbly heard that I do have an outline of the sequal to Virtual Unreality... called Virtual Unreality Stars... It's going to take place in a location called the Unity Space Staion. that rings the earth at it's equator...

I'll post more data about this... But... this is where your going to get news about VRU: Stars, as well as answered questions.

Okay well this is more of a concept idea......

Basically the human Anit-Viral combat force AKA "Fire-team"

There people, typically selected from a combination of Watchmen and military forces armed with special equipment to seek out and eradicate virus threats…..

I’m not going to go into why they would exist... the 4th story line should be a good enough reason for you at this point… I’m just going to explain how they work.

They only special Benefit a Fire-Team unit would get is specially designed armor and weapons to combat this...

The first type is the “Black-Coat” A Fibrous light weight armor with a power transmission system woven into the fibers effectively making it an armored long coat, attached to the back of this is a small power pack designed loosely off of 40k marines armor packs… the armor of the coat is self is not enhanced by the power effect but rather there is a different kind of benefit to this.

The coat generates an EMP field as well as Heat… The typical person in this suit not trained to sustain activity in it will pass out after roughly one hour of use while trained fire-teams can function indefinitely in a harsh outfit. The whole purpose of this out fit is to destroy a nanite virus before it can ever reach the user to affect him. Either by burning it off with the heat or disruption by the low level EMP (probably the output of an unshielded microwave).

The weapons of the Fire-team are generally standard military, they take full advantage of the military’s anti mechanized munitions such as High-Explosive Anti-Armor and EMP pulse rounds (Bullets that release an EMP pulse when impacted with the target).

Typical team names are after historical anti-virus software such as “Notion” and “MacAfee”, Medicinal drugs like “Tylenol” “Codeine”, or various plays on the word fire such as “Heat wave”, “Napalm”, “Easy-bake”, and so on…

Keep it here for more look details about VRU: Stars to be released when ever I feel like it.

Okay heres a preview of some of the characters for the Sequal series....

From left to right we have Judia... Serenity.. and an unknown character.....

The notes under them are basicly technical notes as to how they were made and a bit of info about them...

As a note that Judia and Serenity have drasticly diffrent backrounds abilities and personality and history from the SSSrp due to diffrences in the global setting in this version.

The guy in the hoodie seems to be someone like 343 Guilty Spark. That little bitch

Aye... nice so far

Lookin' pretty good... keep it upness.

Okay, well because the last update to this thread was in June (not to mention shelved for a while so I can actually finish VRU) I took a good look back at Judi and Seri's sprites and realized on thing....

I hated them with a passion....

In half a year I knew I got better than that at spiriting, Seri hardly looked like the athletically built character I envisioned, and Judi looks too much like a kid, rather the teenager she's espoused to be, so I started reworking the sprites...



So here's the early redesign of Seri, as you can see she's taller (having used a Seriously modified Bass base as bass is better for athletic builds in my mind) and doesn’t have the problem of being "too Krissa like" as one person put it previously.

It's pretty good, dood.

Okay in this post, is another once again changed character, I never felt comfortable with Judia's sprite, First off it was a altered version of another person's sprite, even though he gave it to me, it didn't seam right using it. To make maters worse it didn't mesh well with the rest of the cast at all. The hair bugged me a bit, being to similar to Krissa's and while this has some resemblance, it's different enough to make her stand out as unique...



Overall I think it's just an improvement, this officially makes Judia the most altered character thus far....

you know she does look rather nice, but at least I won't have to worry too much about appearance yet...

....

Dl, you're just opening yourself up for the jokes.

Although you're doing a good job, Akito.

Yeah he's lucky I don't have his sprites....

I haven't yet actually gotten around to making my own sprites yet Akito, but I might just include a special sprite for Judia.

Okay I was brainstorming with Seri's sprite, one of the big issues with VRU is that the human characters (Aka Krissa and Sarge) didn't really change outfits to much, so I'm working with the idea of different outfits for her.

Very nice, the taunts will still continue for days because of you.

The fact that you custom sprited breasts for her is creepy. And the fact that they don't LOOK bad is creepier.
