Character Name: Daniel

Overlay Color: Teal

Backstory: Daniel is extremely proficient with electronics, working with them from an early age. He also occasionally worked on (and raced) his track car, whenever he could afford parts for it. He usually tends to stay quiet and seemingly calm. Despite being patient, once he's pissed, he can be a force to reckon with. He almost never removes his helmet, even when sleeping, as he likes the sense of anonymity it gives him. Even though he didn't grow up in the Detroit ghetto, he was forced to attend a school in it since other schools were too far away. Gang violence dominated the school, and his quiet, reserved nature (And occasionally, being white) meant that other students often began fights with him. This forced him to learn how to fight in order to defend himself. Despite the poor education given at the school, He excelled in his classes and managed to graduate high school a year early. He was a sophomore at the University of Michigan when *insert whatever caused the apocalypse here*

Items:
Racing helmet, modified with a small, basic computer and a monochrome teal OLED screen on the visor
Small .38 Revolver (5-round cylinder, currently broken)



Let me guess

bad character?
i don't think it's that i think its more that your design looks similar to his

I could put some time towards it, i've done a few pixel art projects in my time. BTW, for a character submission, do they HAVE to be human? or at least humanoid?

humanoid at least. we've already had a slime character so non human is fine.

I did copy the helmet, but they don't really have any similarities otherwise.

Alright, i'll come up with something soon.

EDIT: I've already thought up the character, working on the sprite now.

it's fine, i'll add him in. it'll just be a bit hard to tell the difference in updates.

If you really want you you can just make the helmet visor teal. That should make him easier to differentiate.

Character Name: Xexal
Overlay Color: Violet
Backstory: A demon who has roamed the surface ever since the apocalypse began. Unlike other demons, who seek to kill or devour humans, he takes interest in them. He has stayed out of sight, brown townyzing them, observing them, and at the same time, perfecting his own survival skills against the monsters that roam the world. His past interacting with other humans have been met with hatred and attempts at his own life. As such, he's developed a slowly growing dislike for humanity.

He does not smile often, and is more self-centered, in some cases often preferring to save his own life then someone elses. Do not mistake him for being a cold-hearted individual, he may show a softer, more sentimental side and protect a human if it is the only thing that keeps them from dying.

He is a master craftsman, making various tools and weapons fashioned from scrap and other resources he discovers while travelling, as well as clad in a special armor that does not appear human in origin, it's defensive potential borders on line with human metals such as Steel, but provides more natural defense against the elements, allowing Xexal to survive in sweltering heat, or freezing temperatures as if it's nothing.

His primary weapon is mostly his wits, fashioning weapons or traps out of his environment, however in a nasty situation, he will pull out a small Short-Sword, made of a similar material as his armor, to directly engage an opponent. His demonic nature makes him more difficult to kill compared to a human, but he is still capable of dying.

However, he has one significant downside. His demonic nature makes him a living beacon for the monsters of the world to home in on, because of this, he tends to be attacked much more frequently compared to the humans. He is also more prone to attracting a demon to his location. This makes having him as an ally a risky, but potentially rewarding endeavor.

(Sorry for the large backstory, but i kind of go nuts with this kind of stuff)

If possible, i would prefer a less direct introduction, like for example, maybe he drops out of a vent at a prime time. Something that would reflect on his more "outside the box" style.
