Bloodlock Race Characteristics

NAME OF RACE: Bloodlocks
MAIN CHARACTERS:

"Parapax"; Long bloodlocks like damien marley. Overseer with powerful mental abilites (farsight, energy ball, heal). Mastery of plasma-rifles. Mixed martial arts fighting style.

"Hyperpax"; Short bloodlocks covering his head and some random places on his body. Freedom Fighter with a fast and powerful physical prowess. Can see at night and pump up troops around him. Jumps long distances and very fast running. Has a shock-hit fighting style.

etc. etc.

UNDERLINGS/MINIONS:

Some look like goblins and are techical with plasma pistols and rifles. Lightweight armor and helmets. Some telepathic abilities. many have long bloodlocks. Fast/quick with jumping abilities and shock-hits. Some have shields. take damage easily and can only lightweight compete with humans in a hand to hand fight due to their small stature.

Some look like orcs or uruks from lord of the rings. Some have long hair and most have shields and ax/sword like weapons and helmets. Tough skin and ability to absorb damage. Some have big heads and some telepathic abilities. Some carry plasma guns. bigger than a regular human.

Some are shamans with some telepathic abilites like energy blast, heal, pump up, focus energy, farsight, pressure blast etc and some carry plasma-rifles and sniper rifles. kind of mix between both of the above minions in stature.

Change Of Ideas

Ok so basically it has been kinda hard to figure out the story so I thought that if I add a few things in it will make it better. I don't think we should have Earth in the game becuz it takes away from the whole story. I was thinking it would be best if we had the vamps and the bloodlucks be rivals or something. Also I wanna new name for the mutants cuz I want them to be there own species. A title for the game that I thought could be Holocaust Nova think it would be tight I was bout to just post words that you guys might get ideas from but I guess that would be to hard.


thing we need to do next:
  • gang and clan names
  • past wars- one between humans and hybrids/religious and bloodlocks/ mutants and vamps
  • new charaters make them for the races that we r low in now
  • how they dress- armor, no armor, etc
  • anything unique about them and all the other stuff we went over for the other characters
  • landmarks in cities and the villages
  • zoning of races and gangs
  • transportation- bikes, animals, shahab wants a dragon haha

I think that will hold you guys off for a while so basically just work on those for now then we can work on past history or anything else you may want to add in. And Alex I was thinking we should throw a couple of pictures on this.

Bloodlock Names

First of all let me start off by saying that the name for the whole race of forest-dwellers doesn't have to be called bloodlocks... ummm they could be called something else with a bloody theme, possibly in another language word for blood like a celtic language like gaelic (damanta maith, fuilteach etc. cause theres so many words in the language for blood) a combination or a variationwould becool too. The bloodlocks themselves could be acultural group within the race, possibly the warriors.

Some bloodlock name ideas

  • Sangralock
  • Parapax
  • Megapax
  • Hyphapax
  • Gigipax
  • Sangrapax
  • Macapax
  • Sangrascath
  • etc

On Customization

I feel like the game should be as customizable by the user as possible and easily updatable and easy to add new races, climates, models, skins, heroes etc for the online community.

Camera System

There will be a unique camera system with a new unique command list to go with it.

The camera modes and command modes are as follows (note that each camera mode has totally customizable commands as well for example you are technically able to command squads from first person mode):

  • 1st person: Like any 1st person FPS game with simple commands specifically for single unit combat and simple unit and squad commands such as "ATTACK" "MOVE" "DEFEND" "PROTECT" etc. with simple point and click interface..... thinking of Scrolls of Oblivion or Unreal
  • 3rd person near: 3rd person near is a 3rd person mode again focused mostly on combat however there are more squad commands with added ease for dragable cursor to select units. Also greater visibility that 1st person. May be easier for small-medium area of effect abilities and also hand to hand combat and throws.... thinking Devil May Cry or Oni
  • 3rd person far: Similar to 3rd person far except the command list becomes more squad based and ability based for splash damage attacks and large area of effect abilities..... Thinking something like Myth II or Warcraft III
  • Aerial: Birds eye view with default grid-mode activated. Easy for large area of effect abilities and large squad movements. Only possible with certain special abilities and/or flying cameras or creatures..... Thinking A Bridge Too Far, Sim City
  • Satellite: Sattelite projected image default with grid mode picture of entire planet. Can be zoomed out to view weather patterns and geography as well as political climate in all regions.... See google earth or sim city
Please keep in mind all camera modes are dynamic and it is possible to flow from one to the next or be in between as the HUD will be customizable.
