Chara 3: Stiver Magnus
Neok- 12/03/2011 06:43 PM
Name: Stiver Magnus
Class Archetype: Guard
Game-play Style:
- Tank/meatshield. Highest HP in the game.
- Also slowest. Go figure.
Notes:
- Peripheral male lead. Yes, a slow meatshield/tank as a male lead. What is this world coming to?
- And not just that, but.. well, you'll find out.
- His expressions are really hard to do with that hat in the way.
- UPDATE: The sword got dropped.

CloseThe new third expression looks pretty good. So, it was meant to be a surprised or anxious expression?

No, he's Hawk/Gray's. He's a Stone Wall, not a Mighty Glacier (which...kind of fits Leon now, come to think of it).
So it does! Glad to be of help. He now looks a bit less rough and scraggly, but his expressions are much easier to read. His right eye still looks kind of small due to the hat, but, well, hat. I had no idea just how much those screwed up facial expressions! :o
Celia, I assume?
*tries not to get hopes up that his wild theory of a non-evil variant being one of the playable characters was correct...!*
That's actually a pretty sound idea! Gave it a shot and it looks pretty good now.

Yeah, someone else has those resistances now ;P.

The reverse cowboy idea sounds absolutely wicked. It's like a statement that guns just don't do it for the REAL tanks out there.
And am I to assume he is Scott/Dread's replacement?

So she's resistant to Force but slightly weak to everything else? That's like the opposite of her resistances in AAG... o_O

Edit: Hm. May I recommend moving/removing that strand of hair in front of his eye in his character portraits? Since it's obscuring the white of his eye, it makes it look like a weird brown blob...

Wait a minute, so you're doing resistances the same as in AAG? Does that mean that Indy has a 20% resistance to Force this time around? o_O
More or less. I haven't really finalized it yet. Will have to wait till I see how she does with it.
Edit: Actually, let me try changing her other resistances to 105%. See how that balances.
20%? Wow i had forgotten how broken some characters are.

Whoa, crazy. Yeah that's pretty much all coincidence. To tell the truth, Stiver is actually loosely based off a good buddy of mine. I won't go into full details about what's inspired and what's not, but one super nerdy example: Stiver's burn elemental specialization is based on the fact that when we used to play MtG together, he'd always play a red burn deck.

I made an account just to comment on this fact.
His names is awfully similar to Styil Magnus from Toaru Majutsu no Index.
http://toarumajutsunoindex.wikia.com/wiki/Stiyl_Magnus
His he going to wield fire rune cards and summon flaming popes and have a bar-code tattooed under his eye?
Or is this name similarity a freak coincidence?

Quick question; Does Stiver having high GRD mean that the GRD stat actually WORKS this time?
Yes. Making my own battle system this time.
A-la Trigun?
That thought occurred to me too..
Yeah, a two-handed sword? In a world with guns? Really?
First rule of RPGs: Never bring a gun to a sword fight.

crucifix shaped machine gun :).
A-la Trigun?
Turn it the other way and it's a rocket launcher too :D

Interesting looking character. He kinda reminds me of Jack Van Burace from Wild Arms (hopefully he'll be as good with his sword). I really like his stats, except SPD obviously.

Heh, oddly enough I somehow didn't notice the Escher-esque scabbard/cloak thing until you pointed it out.
Remember kids, if you have to commit a crime in front of a witness, I'm your man. I likely won't even remember your hair color. ;P
Also, guardian sounds like fun to mess with (low speed actually synergizes with it from a certain perspective). And with a stat spread like that, I hope mind is pretty useful cause I might find it hard to justify using Leon over Stiver other than to have Leon's EX handy. I suppose I'll have to see what other abilities these two will end up bringing to the table (since you mentioned that these were only some of what they could have) before I can really make that call in the end, though.

It would actually be interesting if Stiver turns out to be related to Gray somehow!
Wouldn't it? (They're not.)
(are you going for more realistic ones this time, by the way?)
Indy, Celia and the mysterious 6th character have something to say about this.

keep wanting to read his name as "silver"
especially since he kinda looks like grey (gray? can't remember which way it's spelled in-game)
cowboy-ish look w/ enormous zweihander is basically a dream come true for me
thank you based neok

Ah, glad there's a reason for it this time. Will look forward to seeing it. Glad to know I won't be getting too many spoilers, too. I'll just avoid the fifth character then.
It would actually be interesting if Stiver turns out to be related to Gray somehow! Especially since their cloaks look rather similar, as do their fighting styles and stat layouts, I would assume...
The only thing that throws this off is the fact that they have different eye and hair colours (are you going for more realistic ones this time, by the way?), but, uh...I guess red eyes and silver hair are recessive traits? :p

@Ark
You just want someone to use a rocket launcher! I'm on to your game... (He's too poor to have a rocket launcher, but damnit now I'm thinking about how I can fit a rocket launcher user in this game because that would be so ace.)
LMG is already taken. :)
As a side note, I loathe asymmetrical sprites, and this guy is the cause.
