[Total Conversion] Under Siege

[Russel]

I haven't heard anything about a beach, though I'm putting together a quick seaside villa for Lego so he has a more... erm, flat and simple map to test out minions and turrets-

No need. I made a needleman based map to deal with those shenanigans. It isn't very open, but it gets the job done. As of now, a minion base has been made and is in partial functionality. The only issue now is that it doesn't properly alert the turrets when they move around and stuff, but that's easy to do because it's literally just spam of A_AlertMonsters like with the weapon.
Pardon my language, but fuck the minions and all they are worth. I had a system going and adding them to it was literally impossible, cauing me to have to completely rewrite how the turrets work, making their detection sporadic and crappy...just ughhhhhhh.

In other news, I have taken it upon myself to redraw some minions posted here...currently, I have redrawn Smash's flying minion STEVEN and the "TNT D00d" which am calling Bash Crates, referencing an enemy type in Banjo-Tooie, because that's what it reminded me of. Not to mention, I freaking love shout outs, hence Evil Sealing Circle as a runic enchantment for Felicia.

Anyhow, I will probably redraw Servbot's and my interpretation of one of Zerokk's because what I saw at first was not what he intended...I had to look three times to figure it out, but I like the idea I had first, so I'm gonna draw that~ (along with what he intended...just to make sure either one gets worked through.)

Also, just so we're clear here, this doesn't mean all designs are getting accepted, it just means I am trying to interpret these designs in a different (and possibly more pleasing...but that part is subjective and I can't draw) light.

[Ceridran]

After viewing Smash's little doodle, I realized that Shell Soldiers can just be recurring guys that use things to blend in with. Probably with a new name, so we don't have like 15 different "soldiers"

Shells, pottery, leaves, rocks, etc.

Occasionally warping around the map to different locations, so they can actually catch you off-guard. Plenty of locations to be. So you're not memorizing that one place they'l be. You don't know where they WILL be.

[Rozark]

You wanted a minion idea well ok.

(click to show/hide)

Handle with care and love and all the things hamsters need.
His name is Marcus the Hamster Thing.
He's very sensitive of that green thing on his head. Scientists don't know what it is but they say it's sensitive.
His feet are red and blue so you can see him in all the 3d glory.
He's quite lovable but attacks when his green thing is threatened and just chases that person down.
Just please don't violate him.

Goes with the first one:

(click to show/hide)

If you think he's too cute you can use this one.
Maybe it's just because his original form is outlawed in countries due to their eyes bleeding from amazement.
Doctors say he can't see who attacks him now so he just attacks anything.
Still don't violate him but at least he can't see now.

Annnnnnnnnnnnd goes with the second one:

(click to show/hide)

If your eyes are still bleeding from his cuteness then he went into 4D mode.
You're eyes can't comprehend the 4Dness so you're pretty much screwed now.
Looks like you're the one getting violated at this point.

This idea was brought to you by: The Kindergarten Class of 2013.

[Ceridran]

I'm just gonna post that character I mentioned.

Everything that's supposed to have his name is replaced with "WIP."

(click to show/hide)

WIP

(Mixed, Physical, Tank, Sniper)

Appearance

Why did I just make a cyborg crocodile thing? Probably because I can't make a good human OC, author avatar not counting.

Passive - Mechanical Reinforcement

15% of WIP's Attack Damage (or whatever you're calling it in this) is converted into Armor and MR.

Weapon 1 - Augmented Claws

WIP's hands were rebuilt as metal claws, which have energy pumped to them through a thin, long pipe.

The attack is constant, dealing low damage per hit.

Augmented Claw's attack speed is reduced by 5% for every attack that doesn't hit anybody, but attack speed increases by 5% for every hit on an enemy.
Both of these are capped at 35%, and start increasing/reducing up to the normal attack speed level when not attacking.
The normal attack speed level is a fair amount for a melee attack that stacks.

Weapon 1 Skill - Energy Barrier

WIP creates a barrier around himself that absorbs up to 150 damage for 3 seconds.

Weapon 2 - Shoulder Cannon

WIP was rebuilt with an energy cannon on his shoulder, (more specifically on his back, hanging over his shoulder) and he can use this in battle to hit enemies outside of his melee range.

Deals medium damage, requires a 2 second cooldown to shoot again.

Weapon 2 Skill - Zoom

WIP toggles something on his digital optic to zoom in. (Also, this is literally a toggle.)

While zoomed in, you are slowed by 50%

While zoomed in, energy charges up to deal more damage. Takes around 5 seconds to reach full charge.

Zooming itself is manaless and only has a 1 second cooldown, but shooting while zoomed in costs mana. The cost scales on your charge level.

Skill Mods

Charged Claws - Every 7/6/5 seconds, the first hit on Augmented Claws deals 5/6/7% of his opponent's maximum HP as bonus damage. The duration does not count down while attacking. At maximum level, this charged hit slows.

Protection - Energy Barrier is upgraded to stand up to 200/250/300 damage. At maximum level, it shatters to deal medium-high damage if it lives for the 3 seconds.

Energy Burn - Shoulder Cannon shots burn the target for 2/3/4 seconds, dealing 2% of their maximum HP as damage per second. At maximum level, Shoulder Cannon shots can go through up to three targets.

Sharpshooter Optic <Ultimate Mod> - WIP gains access to a zoom function by upgrading his digital optic.

Rank 1 - Unlocks Zoom.

Rank 2 - Fully charged shots during Zoom deal bonus damage and reduce defense for 3 seconds, complimenting the burn and your team.

Rank 3 - Charge Time decreased.

Aaaand I don't know what I'm doing.

I also have this thing for you.

Voltwraith.

Sadly, there aren't many ghost design options available.

Just take this one too.

[Russel]

Alright...so I redrew my interpretation of three monsters/minions. One by Smash, one by ThePlayer, and one by Zerokk.

First off, I present my interpretation of ThePlayer's "TNT d00d", which seems quite aptly named. I redrew it in what I thought would seem better and, as I said previously, renamed it to "Bash Crate" referencing the Bang Box.

(click to show/hide)

The skated were removed in replacement of tank treads, removed eyes to give it less emotion, creating a mindless feeling around it. This allows to make it seem more of a feared threat than as a troll living in a mine.

Next up is Steven, who I simply moved the visor...not much else done there.

(click to show/hide)

Finally, we have my [initial] interpretation of Zerokk's second minion drawing.

(click to show/hide)

When I saw that drawing, my thoughts turned to "Giant ancient gigalith with only two hands and a head" a la "Eyerok." I reread the post later and thought of turtles, so I thought "Not a Koopa and Not Rammus" and I could not do it because all forms of turtle have been used. Only then did I realize that you meant seashells, so I thought of Yards (Hermit crab-like enemies) from Metroid Fusion.

Either way, I hope you enjoy the drawings.
(I would have drawn Servbot's designs, but they seemed sort of eh...done before...
And Rozark's cow design...so much why...)

I will probably draw Zerokk's volcano thingy later, if I don't feel up to program

[Ceridran]

The second one was intended to look more like..

.. This?

(click to show/hide)

It was the best shell option for the other one that I had, so I picked it.

I originally had in mind team-colored Shell Soldiers, but the blue one is good enough to stay as a neutral enemy. I can see the one you redrew as an enemy in a pyramid map, if we went with him as a recurring disguise guy!

[Rozark]

And Rozark's cow design...so much why...)

It's Marcus the Hamster and he's sensitive if you say he's a cow.
In all seriousness you should/need to redraw this because the Kindergarten Class of 2013 doesn't do a very good job.
If not that, at least the concept.

[Russel]

Well, a hamster at least has a little more merit than a cow...
I mean, it could go through a hamster ball or something....I dunno

Also I refuse to draw more until I finish everything on my list except the minions because those things are just complete shit and don't deserve any more time until I have things thought through.
And by that I mean, I tried everything; literally everything and I can't get these fucking things to work the way I want them to.

[Ceridran]

What do you even name these guys? Scenery Soldiers?

(click to show/hide)

The one on the bottom is not intended as a real disguise. Move along, now.

I like it, it's more of a kamikaze drone than some guy on wheels.

[Balrog]

Here, have a lore.

The multiverse is a bizarre place of infinite wonders. One world may be a idyllic paradise, the next a dystopian hellscape, all according to the ebb and flow of the aether. In this particular corner of the multiverse, the balance has been disrupted by an army of the damned, roaming the universe like a Mongol horde. Sweeping up world after world, catalyzing them into the dark matter that fuels their war machine, making twisted mockeries of their enemies - they are the Imperium Magnus.

All is not lost however, for this sector is familiar with the dangers of the multiverse. Even now, its heroes are gathering to lay siege to the Imperium and halt their advance. What has been lost cannot be regained; what is left may yet be defended.

These are their stories.

Did you-know-who Droid get the boot or what?

While I wait for the answer, can I submit a class with an actual gender and the ability to use magic?

(click to show/hide)

Hunter Powers, the High Dragon Mage
(Ranged, Special, Caster, Disabler)
(Can we have a tag that describes Skill Mod effects?)

Appearance
A mage with a somewhat distinctive dragon motif. He wears a dark red robe and dark blue pants. The robe is open from waist level and below. Hunter wears a wizard hat that has what looks like the top part of a dragon's head on the front. The collar piece is styled with a hard bony frame covered by a green leather membrane. He also has green shoulder parts that look like dragon feet, but only the 'claws' are exposed.

He holds a fancy gold staff that is topped with a dull red crystal ball. The top is covered with a motif shaped like a dragon head, but the 'eyes' are hollow. Whenever a spell is casted, the crystal ball glows and the head moves, as if it was alive. There is also a spike on the other end of the staff.

Passive – Mage's Dragon
Being a high-rank dragon mage, Hunter always has a small magical energy dragon following him. The dragon will strike any enemies within a small radius one at a time. The dragon can be slain, but it respawns as long as its owner is alive.

Weapon – Dragon Spear
The spike on the bottom end of Hunter's staff is crafted out of a giant dragon claw. In some situations, Hunter can thrust the bottom end of the staff like a spear. The thrust is not as strong as expected but Hunter can use it at a fair speed.

Skill – Earth Flame
A Fire Dragon Spell. Hunter creates a red energy dragon head in front of him to spew a flamethrower. It is slightly more powerful than the other attacks but it has a short range and cannot be used underwater.

Skill – Aqua Tide
A Water Dragon Spell. A blue energy dragon head is created in front of the user to spew a powerful wave of water. It is a powerful attack that can end short land enemies efficiently but it can only travel on ground.

Skill – Aerial Slicer
A Wind Dragon Spell. A green energy dragon head is created in front of user to blow a blade of wind. It is fast and travels far in the air but it is not as strong as the Aqua Tide or the Earth Flame.

Skill Mods
Combusting Blaze – On its own, the Earth Flame cannot combust the victims but with this enhancement, it can burn a victim, dealing low but continuous damage. Rank increases duration of the burn.
Deep Chill – The Aqua Tide can be enhanced with the water dragon's ice ability. When the encahncement is applied, Aqua Tide can chill the victims, inducing Slowness and Weight. Rank increases the duration of Slow and Weight.
Torando Spin – This handy enhancement can unleash more of the wind dragon's potential into the Aerial Slicer. When applied, the Aerial Slicer can create 2 mini blades that travel in a DNA pattern. The spell also spins the victim violently, inducing Disorient. Naturally, rank makes the Disorientation longer.
Dragon Essences <Ultimate Mod> – The Dragon Spear can be enhanced with magic from elemental dragons to give it more power. However, it costs more to be empowered.
> Rank 1 – Forceful Thrust – Wind Dragon Enhancement. Dragon Spear now conjures a windy gravitational aura that blows the enemy back violently. The aura will disappear as soon as the attack ends.
> Rank 2 – Cryoparalysis – Water Dragon Enhancement. The Dragon Spear now injects a painful chill down the enemy's systems, paralysing it upon impact(Stun).
> Rank 3 – Ignition Charge – Fire Dragon Enhancement. Dragon Spear deals more damage. It also burns the victim before blowing them, dealing continuous damage.

Note(s) on this one:

(click to show/hide)

>The dragon heads summoned by the spells are just visual effects. They will not, like, stay in one place and spawn projectiles. They will follow the user as long as the spell is being used.

What the fuck is a Nova Spark? Anyway, what I've suggested isn't really inconsistent with what you've already written. I was mainly just trying to set the tone. For example:

Two distinct looks: one for the Imperium and one for the non-Imperium team which I'll refer to here as the Heroes
The Imperium's champs and buildings are cyberpunk-meets-D&D, with intricate circuitry, menacing robotics, and leather jackets blending smoothly with plate, chain, and stone; their palette is black, grey, dark grey, and a lovely shade of red.
The Heroes' buildings are generic Mega Man cartoon techno stuff, with champs having all kinds of different designs; their palette is white, grey, yellow, and various shades of blue.
The Imperium generally doesn't have its own champs; they steal them from the Heroes, making copies that are basically black palette swaps with a robotic voice effect
The Imperium's objective building is a catalysis unit that breaks down matter and turns it into the ever-adaptable dark matter
The Heroes' objective building is a mobile base that they pilot from universe to universe
The Imperium-exclusive champs are all monstrous; champs that fit this include Trashwerk, Mordecai, and Skulldro

I come bearing a hero/champion/class

(click to show/hide)

Serin
(Ranged, Physical, Hunter, Sniper)

Appearance
WIP

Passive - Careful Aim
If no there are no enemy heroes near Serin, he gains bonus range and damage.

Weapon - Trusty Arc
A metal crossbow that you couldn't part this archer from without a lot of corpses. Fires bolts in a straight line at a fair clip with a somewhat lengthy reload when you run out of bolts.

Skill 1 - Spray and Pray
Serin unloads a large number of bolts out of his crossbow as fast as possible, firing bolts quickly in a spread fashion. A reload following this technique is necessary.

Skill 2 - Back Off!
While more traditionally a more long-range weapon, Serin swings his crossbow, dealing light damage and knocking back enemies directly in front of him a short distance.

Skill 3 - Explosive Shot
Fires a bolt strapped to some dynamite that will detonate when it hits an enemy, damaging and slowing all enemies in a small area around the detonation.

Skill Mods
Shrapnel - Explosive Shot's detonation radius is increased by 10/20/30% and the damage will ignore 15/20/25% of all afflicted enemies armor.

Steel Casing - Back Off! will knock enemies back farther and deal 20/40/60% more damage. At rank 3 enemies hit by Back Off! will also be stunned for .5 seconds after being knocked back.

Piercing Bolts - Successfully hitting a target 8/6/4 times with basic attacks from the weapon or Spray and Pray within 12 seconds will apply Vulnerable to that target.

<Ultimate>  On the Hunt - Serin uses the full extent of his techniques in order to take down his opponents.

Rank 1 - Avoidance - Serin passively gains more movement speed, this bonus is doubled if an enemy hero is nearby.

Rank 2 - Rapidity - Serin's Weapon fires 15% faster and his reload speed is increased by 40%

Rank 3 - Prowess - Serin's Weapon fire and abilities deal an additional 4% of the target's Current Health
