Description
CHARACTER THEME TUNE: [link]More concept art for my current project. I know everyone is waiting for Two Heroes, but...sadly this is a full time commitment and something that I simply cannot pass up on developing.
Anyway, this is the 'second' main character after Ginnigan. Pyre is a fun loving, competitive and hot-blooded rogue who joined the rebel faction simply because he wanted to be a hero. He doesn't care about their overall ideals and goals, but the notion that he's fighting corruption is enough to satisfy him. Pyre is feared amongst the rebel troops for his recklessness, power and love for destruction. Pyre's heat-powered core lets him generate flames from his body and gives him direct control of his own temperature. Combining an entertainer's fire dancing tricks with martial arts, he is dangerous as an enemy or an ally since it can be guaranteed that just about anything he stands near will go up in flames when he gets in his groove.
Behind all his mannerisms, Pyre's one true wish is simply to stand out and be noticed. Upon meeting Ginnigan for the first time, Pyre became fascinated with the boy with no ID and decided to be his rival from that day forth, whether Ginnigan agreed to it or not.
Despite constantly being evaded by Ginnigan, Pyre continues to believe that he has some kind of deep warrior's connection (Ginnigan doesn't consider himself a fighter) and insists that his soul can only find comfort when he's locked in combat with one who is both a friend and a foe. Ginnigan has no choice but to humor him with sparring, often at inconveniant times. Pyre is also obsessively protective of Ginnigan when he's not trying to beat him up, and even resents the presence of Ginnigan's other friends, saying they have no place in his life if they aren't willing to fight.
Pyre has various flamethrowers and fuel dousers hidden about his body, but his recklessness often causes him to overheat and burst into flames. He can also manipulate plasma energy to create fireworks, which was a trick he learned from his entertainer's days.
Despite his love for violence, Pyre is proud of the fact that he's never killed an opponent before (though it seems like he has no problem with seriously crippling people) and doesn't seem to understand the true concept of war. This makes him very unpopular with his comrades, but nobody is willing to argue with him for obvious reasons.

Great line design with the fire. The whole suit design looks cool too!
All the music you've bin using is techno/game, and it does feel kinda repetitive. But it's still done very well, and gives a good fighting feel for the character. My best friend does a lot of audio editing, and he recently got his hands on this really tight software... what was it called....... Omnisphere, that's it! Here's some insight: [link]

Wow, I love this character and the description of him and his music. Just wow, this would be someone I would like to play the voice of, someone with attitude, and that Courage or Glorified Stupidity, to make him self seem differant to stand out. Just wow, I wish I could see something with animation with him, and maybe some Subs so I can do some voices to make myself feel cool. ... MAN no I want to voice him XD
O well, kick ass Ryanide

What is that half-cape thing he's wearing? I'm fairly sure it has a name, but I can't remember. Other than that, I love the character!

Is pyre a Red Panda? Super awesome flaming staff of DOOM!!! The robotic tail is also a nice touch, though it looks like it could kill someone. Sounds like a naive war newbie.

I keep getting the feeling that you have some kind of awesome story line behind all of these projects, but I have yet to get a good idea of any of them.
Have you considered making some kind of short comic strips or something to give us an clue what's going on with all of the projects you have going on.

Ryanide In reply to PatrickRantala [2009-05-08 13:38:17 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, the thing about that is that with most of these 'rojects' they're just very rough ideas or placeholders. I actually haven't sat down and fully worked out any *except for THIS one, which I'm actually being careful with, because it actually has potential to amount to something*

oh and about the music you threw together, it's awesome! I'm curious, what's the first instrument you used, it sounds even more tubelike than the square instruments lol
You're getting even better than before, and the song's really captured the fiery mood. The only problem I see in it is that the climax wasn't what I'd have hoped for. It starts off pretty nicely, but at 0:40, I was expecting and explosion of epic beats, like, crazy super fast strings going up and down, and one of the most kickass instruments being thrown in and doing a killer solo!
It's great, but I just feel a bit unsatisfied with the lack of climax build up
>:C

Also, I can't really have a 'climax' in the music because well...it's supposed to loop. It needs to not be too distracting for what it's purpose is or people might get annoyed with it.

that first instrument is a WASP synth I think. Laser something.
I passed it through a bunch of filters so it didn't sound as bad as it does when you use it raw.

I know what you mean about the climax. Well actually it's not yet finished, so that's why the ending feels a little empty. I'm still working on it, but right now it's more or less just a conceptual thing.
