the real challenge of adulthood that no one tells you about in advance is how many goddamn pieces of paper you have to keep up with that are never important until they are suddenly VERY important
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.
i wrote a short thing because I wanted to explore the idea of how Gollum met Shelob but it was a little too much work to make that into a memey comic.

Update (3)Help Us survive the winter cill 🥶😥
Among the rubble in Gaza, a little boy sat on the muddy ground as wind and rain blasted him in the face from a gaping hole of his family’s tent. The shrapnel from the recent bombing has punctured the tent in multiple places, and the heavy rain pours in, flooding their shelter and destroying their meagre belongings.
The boy does not remember what being dry, or warm, feels like. He shivers as the icy wind tears through the tent once more. Cold has sunk its teeth deep into his bones.
He has no coat, no blanket. When their house was bombed, they had left all their belongings behind, thinking only of escape and surviving the night.
When his mother left before the sun even rose to search for basic necessities, the boy asked her for two things: food, and a coat. Now, after 10 hours, his mother returns. There is not enough money to buy both food and winter clothes. Last night, the boy’s sister could not sleep because her stomach hurt too much from hunger. The mother chose to buy food.
She only managed to buy a few small pieces of bread with the money she has, not enough for one person each. She tells her children to eat the bread slowly, to make it last as long as possible. There is not enough money, so this is all they can eat for the day.
They sleep, rain dripping on their trembling bodies.
When morning comes, the boy does not wake. The cold has rooted inside his bones and has claimed him forever. His father kisses his son for the last time and his mother wails, her grief louder than even the howling wind.
If the little boy asks you to donate some money to save his life, would you do it? You, who are wrapped in warm clothes, who have a blanket to sleep under, a roof to shelter yourself from the rain. You, who have 3 meals a day, who can make or buy hot tea whenever you want to, who can go to bed with a full stomach. Children in Gaza are now freezing to death, deaths that might have been prevented if they had had warm clothes, a shelter, blankets, and food. As you hesitate on whether you should donate to a family in Gaza pleading for help, there are families bidding their farewells to their young children who have died of the cold.
Your support can mean life or death. If we are here asking for help, it means we are still alive. We need your support now. Please do not wait until we are dead.
