Hero Creation Aid
Posted: Fri Feb 16, 2018 5:26 am
Im back mother fuckers.
Anyway......
So I decided to sort the towers in catergories:
Traditional:
-must be a basic form of killing
-may be a primitive skill/tool used by humans
-may be a skill passed down by a higher power, or derived from a higher power
Technological:
-Must be centered around a tool
-Can be a tool that is specialized in a certain way of killing
OR
-Can be a tool that makes a way of killing much easier
OR
-Can be a tool which invents a new form of killing(edited)
Artistic:
-Must be centered around a technique
-Can be a technique specialized in a way of fighting
OR
-Can be a technique that harnesses knowledge passed down and applying it through human-modified ways
So what is this useful for? It is useful for derriving the hero's ability based on their lore. You can usually gauge the lore of your hero with these 3 catergories. For example, Lightseeker is traditional,Mirage is artistic,and Bolin is Technological. Now if you struggle with creating hero abilities that do not regard balancing, it can be used to see what moves or weapons they can hold based on the area(s) they dominate. So if you have a hero like hacksaw, you would pick abilities based on weaponry. If you have a hero like Mirage, then her abilities would be based on technique and martial arts.
Please let me know any flaws. I will be happy to fix them!
