Greetings, How Are Ya? I Was Wondering How You Went About Aggroha's Creation And What Her Personality
Greetings, how are ya? I was wondering how you went about Aggroha's creation and what her personality is like.. She clearly enjoys fighting, but is it her great obsession or does she have room for any hobbies?
Woah, an ask! I'm doing great, thank you for asking and for paying my blog a visit! Okay, so to explain Aggroha's inception I'll need to explain a couple of things, because it's hard to talk about how I came up with creating Aggroha without also talking about Paahul. This is gonna probably be a longer read than you were expecting with these questions, but it's a fun thing to talk about! So here goes. Firstly, the setting that this game takes place in started as a personal setting I run tabletop games in. While I'm not a programmer by trade, I'm an avid tabletop GM and homebrewer, so using my pre-existing setting also as the setting for this game made sense to me, so that did a lot to limit species selection. You wouldn't be able to find any information on my setting without a lot of digging, so I've included the general species lineup for it here. I didn't want to have the player occupy any of the super tall or super short races because that would create gameplay problems and would limit opponent diversity because it'd be really hard to make a boxing game where an Eolian fights a Fonin (the unlabelled, tiny otter race on the far left of the screen) The three races I singled out for the player character ended up being Tor'cha, Chortin, and Bahaa as a result. Of the three, Chortin and Bahaa presented the most interesting possibilities for gameplay, particularly Bahaa, because in-universe every member of that species has some sort of capability to see the dead. I didn't end up going with that though! This may seem like kind of a basic thing to get stuck up on, but I had trouble deciding between two character ideas that were swirling around in my head. The first was for an aggressive Chortin fighter who fights primarily for money/the survival of their family and the second was for kinda a lovable loser of a Bahaa who fights more for fun, to make friends, and to better themself. Both of these seemed like compelling directions to take a player character in, with different strong motivations to stick around in a fighting league. In the end, I couldn't decide upon two things: The first were the sexes of the two characters, and the second was which one of them should actually be the player character. I ended up settling it with two coin flips. The result was that the Bahaa would be male and the Chortin female... And that the Chortin would be the player character and the Bahaa would be their rival. At first, I actually got a lot of anxiety about this result because I wasn't sure if people would enjoy playing a fighting game with a female main character, but as I worked more on the project and solidified the design of both characters that anxiety sort of melted away. It also helped when I realized that no matter what the result was going to be the player would spend most of the game seeing them from behind, so even if players didn't like the idea of a female fighting character they'd be seeing them from a fixed perspective where there wouldn't be much of a difference if you swapped their sex anyway. So that's where not only Aggroha, but also Paahul's general design comes from- I had two vague ideas about broad character archetypes to go with and I left it to coinflips to settle the particulars I got stuck on. Now, as for Aggroha herself: Aggroha's personality is, unsurprisingly, very direct and somewhat aggressive. She's very to-the-point, prefers simple solutions to problems, and generally she's not very patient. That being said, she isn't short-tempered, and while she isn't the smartest around, she does have a quick wit that lends her to occasionally try to make wisecracks that don't quite make sense. Socially, she's willing to lock horns with or fight others about things she's passionate with, and while she doesn't intentionally try to create drama she will absolutely get in verbal (and physical) brawls to defend things she has an interest in. As a general rule, she's confident and confrontational, although not particularly charismatic.
The funny thing though is that her relationship with fighting is more of a business relationship than anything else-- She's a single parent with at least one other mouth she has to feed. That takes up most of her time outside of the ring, so unfortunately aside from being able to whoop some serious ass she doesn't have that many marketable skills or hobbies, and she comes from a lower-class background. That's not to say she doesn't have potential- She's a quick-learner and is amazing at pattern recognition, but she just doesn't have the spare time to dedicate to other things. She takes more pride in the fact that she's good at what she does moreso than the actual occupation, if that makes sense. She does care about her legacy in the sense that she would like to take her run in the ring as far as she can push it because it would make for a good story, but actually having and keeping the champion's title isn't what drives her to fight.

right i have some mildly spoilery game fanart posted here
https://ach-sss-no.tumblr.com/gamefanart
If you want to see it but the link isn’t working, let me know and I’ll find another place to put it, maybe in dA stash or something. I don’t know if private tumblr posts are currently working or not :)
here’s a non-spoilery preview:
Idea for a Ratchet and Clank Spinoff game about Dr. Nefarious- Part 1/2
Imagine this: Takes place after Rift Apart and involves our beloved doctor trying to learn how to be a good babysitter for Lawrence's baby (Seeing as how he clearly cares about the child), as well as getting into various absurd shenanigans in the process.
Along the way, he re-encounters his dimensional counterpart, Emperor Nefarious, who bafflingly appears to have survived his final fate in the last game (And been spat back out into Doc's dimension), although now as a severely pitiful and broken shell of anything resembling who and what he once was, unsure if he wishes to live or die, but always remembering (Consciously or not) what our doctor told him about success.. Perhaps.. he could...try.. a different way to live? What else does he have left? Physically, imagine C-3PO in ESB after he was blasted apart on Cloud City (This will be important, later), except worse, and Emp. Nef's body, as damaged as it is, being generally held together by wiring, however loosely. Not much he can do, if anything, to defend himself.
By all the laws of the universe, he should be dead, and yet... Fate, however merciful or cruel, has brought and left him at the doctor's mercy. Not to mention, ALL of Doc's instincts should be screaming at him to finish this 'emperor' once and for all (For GOOD this time), as proper supervillain etiquette would dictate.. But, for whatever aggravating reason or inclination, he doesn't, ugh.. "Whatever", he tells himself, I can always kill or torture him later for catharsis or stress release, and, um... Maybe he could pacify the baby too while I'm gone, keephimfromwailinghisheadoff-" BAH, there's no time for this! He's on a tight schedule, and infant food as well as other supplies aren't going to simply appear out of thin air for necessity's sake (If only), so he drags the broken emperor back to his not-so-secret lair, still unsure what to do with him...

Today's vetted fundraisers
My name is Mohammed Zaqout, a Palestinian living in the USA, and I am organizing this fundraiser to help my family in Gaza, who are facing a severe humanitarian crisis. My siblings and their young children are trapped in desperate conditions, suffering from starvation, lack of clean water, electricity, internet, and medical care. They have lost everything, witnessing constant bombings and even white phosphorus attacks. Aid is limited, and the situation is worsening, especially with winter approaching. I feel powerless, as I cannot abandon them and fear losing them at any moment. Any support to help reunite me with my family would be deeply appreciated.

Hi friends, I really do not want to do this but my dad last week had an infection (?) from an ingrown nail due to diabetes, and I owe our neighbor almost 100 usd because of food and transportation and my dad going in and out of the Dr office because of his diabetes. I only have 80 usd to last me until the middle of June and I'm so swamped with work, I dunno what to do 🥹. Our electricity bills just dropped and it's so much. So I'm sharing here my ko-fi account in case anyone with spare resources are willing to share what they can. It means the world to me. I am desperate at this point. Please please please and thank you thank yiy thank you 😵💫🥰

Do you think Shadow is a reader, and if so, what kind of books do you think he finds interesting?
Y'know, I bet he's the opposite of Sonic. I bet he's not a reader at all. Sonic's able to take the time to lounge and get cozy and stuff, which is perfect for book-reading, but Shadow? You think that guy's gonna settle down for a moment to read trivial nonsense written by people he doesn't personally care about? He'd maybe attempt, get impatient, and then just skip to the end to find out what happens (and then scoff when he gets no satisfaction from that).
This guy didn't even do his homework in space school!
He's got better things to do. Like gazing angrily into the distance.
or watching tv.
Hey there, earthsong! Your Mario AU is pretty intriguing, and I'm curious to see how it keeps developing! Your take on Daisy is awesome, but I was wondering if in this AU there are any other combat sports besides boxing, and if Her Rowdiness is also interested in any of them...
"Her Rowdiness", that's hilarious xD
But yes, there's def more combat sports than just boxing! Kickboxing, wrestling, fencing, dueling, martial arts of all sorts. The one Daisy actually has a career in is Brawling, which is essentially a mixed martial arts sport but moreso in that everyone can use any fighting style they want and not so much the styles are mixed together to create one specific method of fighting. It also involves the use of magic combat so there's that as well.
Daisy appreciates all sorts of fighting styles, hell she's fought against pretty much all of them, so she has a vested interested in them. If not to perform herself, then to learn so she can use her noggin' when in the field. For Daisy though, the most prominent fighting style she uses is probably boxing. owo
