Description
Okay, so fair warning, this description will get long cause I'm describing each of these guys XD
Had a hankering to redesign some old characters, and, not to be dramatic, but I really hate how the original drawing looks, haha!
It's been only 2 years since then, but these guys were much deserving of an update
So who are they? They are characters for a hypothetical show I occasionally work on whenever I need a break from U-P stuff. Tldr, the ones in color are a group called the Music Makers! They're the personifications of different instrument groups and together they save the world using the power of music!(And also their weapons, but I haven't drawn them here lmao) The vibe I was going for was very much Bionicle-esque in that they're a group that embody a whole of something and are the protectors of the world
So a bit about each of them!
- Pit (percussion: he/him) || One of the oldest of the Music Makers alongside Chorah. He's been around nearly as long as time and has the expertise to prove it. His movement and rhythm is precise and incredibly accurate. Honestly he'd be a great mentor figure to the rest of the Makers if it weren't for his arrogant attitude. He's the foundation of the group and he and everyone else knows this. He does work well with the others, but he gets frustrated when they get in the way. His summoned weapon is a large mallet shaped mace and brass cymbal he uses as a shield, and he has the ability to shake and move the ground.
- Bray (Brasswind: he/him) || He's big, he's loud, and he's proud. Bray is the self proclaimed strongest member of the group. Outwardly, he definitely has the cockiest attitude, but there is a soft melodic side to him if you dig deep enough. He and Reed found their way into becoming Music Makers together and share a very sibling-esque relationship. His weapon is large two-handed horn-shaped hammer. Has the ability to control the power of wind into creating strong ripples from his weapon.
- Synth (Electronics: they/them) || They're the newest member of the team and is honestly just figuring themself out. Music is very new to them, especially considering they were originally on the enemy's side (I don't have a name for the enemies yet lol) but they're slowly getting the hang of it with the help of everyone else. They do not have any powers like the others do, but they are the most technologically savvy. Their weapon is a self-made keytar staff that works like a sword and a sort of zap-stick.
- Vio (Strings: She/her) || She's energetic and very athletic, but don't let that confuse you, she's probably the most graceful of the Makers. She's very friendly with everyone and she also has the best memorizing skills of everyone. Her weapon is a harp-like bow and arrow and she has the ability to manifest strings and ribbons that she uses both for acrobatics and combat.
- Chorah (Vocals: Any) || One of the oldest Music Makers alongside Pit. They've been around nearly as long as time. They probably have the biggest love of music of everyone and will protect music with their life. Her weapon is a once blank book she's been writing in ever since she's manifested it. Singing lyrics from the book summons physical illusions that aid her in battle.
- Reed (Woodwinds: she/her) || A flowy spirit, Reed is one of the most outwardly elegant of the Makers. While she's very determined, she has a one track mind and gets distracted very easily. She and Bray became Music makers together and share a very sibling-esque relationship. Her weapon is a rapier flute of sorts, and she has the ability to control the flow of wind, allowing her to launch herself into the air and float.
- Amp (Distortion: he/him) || One of the newer makers, second only to Synth. He's the biggest loner of everyone, often off on his own trying to find his own purpose. While he's not often with the other Makers, he's very helpful. In fact it's his power. He's able to summon electrical-like power that he can use to empower others and change their sound. Recently he has discovered his own sound with the help of Vio in creating the electric guitar. Ever since it's creation he's been able to summon an electric guitar halberd as his weapon.
- Nul (Silence: they/them) || They're not one of the Music Makers. They're a being that's been around before even Pit and Chorah. In fact, they were the being the two had to fight in order to bring music into the world. Their motives are unknown. Sometimes they'll try and suppress the music of the Makers, and other times they've been known to help. After all, you can't have music without silence. Nul doesn't have a weapon, but they have the ability to create a monochrome area of silence around them, and they can also take away the powers of the Makers.
In terms of who they fight, there's an organization that Synth was once a part of (that doesn't have a name) and the main baddy is Dissonance, the embodiment of chaos. I know their designs, I just didn't wanna draw them after drawing the rest of these guys, haha
But yeah, I'll stop there before the description becomes entirely too unreadable X'D
If you read that, let me know! These guys aren't that refined but I do like them a lot. Or at the very least, I really like the world I made for them.
Hope you all enjoy!
Fun fact! These characters were inspired by the song
Impossible by Two Steps From Hell
As each of these separate instrumentations have a feature somewhere in it ^^
