[WIP] Husk Demon Mode Concept
He has 4 different forms based on poker card symbols and they all specialize in different things. He can't chose which form he takes. (more info below cut)
Regular Husk: Jack of all Trades, Master of None
Basically the Husk we know and love.
Clover: The Lucky Bastard
- INSANELY lucky to the point of cartoonish ridiculousness. Like pianos falling from the sky to crush his opponent type ridiculous.
- Shapeshifting (limited to shrinking only) he can make his whole body or parts of his body as small as a shot glass.
- Very weak. Punching him will probably kill him, but chances of hitting him is next to impossible.
Diamond: Razzle Dazzle them all!
- Persuasion/ hypnotism: Uses song and dance to get people to do whatever he wants. A Pied Piper of sorts
- Shapeshifting: Can shift his proportions to a form that is soothing to his target. (ex: if his target has a loved one that is fat/skinny/short/tall/feminine/masculine his body will shift into that to lower their guard.)
Heart: The Protector
- Durability: Can take a lot of damage without sustaining any injuries.
- Shapeshifting (limited to enlarging his body, maximum size tbd).
- Jumping: Has the jumping capabilities of a cat. - Wings: His wings are able to give him a bigger boost when jumping but he can't fly due to his size and weight.
- Mostly walks around on all 4 legs.
Spade: The Fighter
((The design I definitely need to work on more but this Husk is supposed to be the fighter/ offense of the lot. Going for a streamlined but bulky form like a Norman Bel Geddes car.))
- Speed: Flies incredibly fast.
- Eyesight: Can spot his prey from a long distance away and spot the smallest movement.
- Wings: Can use his feathers as darts. Rarely misses.
- Strength: Can crush someone's skull by stomping on it or crushing it with his talons.
RULES
1) He can't choose which mode he goes into. It's purely chance. He has a deck of cards he shuffles and picks at random. The symbol of the card determines which form he takes. He can use other gambling methods than cards but this is the simplest way.
2) There's a time limit on how long until he can switch forms (tbd).
3) He can go Demon Mode anytime he wants but it defaults to the last form he took. If he wants to switch, he has to leave it to chance.
Why the rules? He'd be too op if he could choose.
Other random info:
- Husk goes into Demon Mode for the hell of it, not necessarily for combat.
- List from more cat-like to bird-like designs: Heart, Clover, regular, Diamond, Spade
