Runswith isn't a man to be trifled with, and if you don't believe me just take a look at the two giant swords he carries around everywhere he goes. His training with his master Jogswith Cleaversguy deep in the mountains was long and arduous. After he'd learned the secrets of really-big-swords-fu, the world shifted, became different than it had before. He could think faster, move faster and he could even run faster than he'd ever thought possible. No longer could he turn a blind eye to the terror of his arch Nemesis, Choke Letgo, whose sole purpose in life is manufacturing a doomsday weapon to choke the entire world -- to death.
As much fun as I have designing these heroes and playing with their powers, I may actually have the most fun writing the bio. Call me crazy, but I could do this for a living.
Runswith Scissorsman was a fun character to create, but I really do have to admit I love the Dual Blade powers for their incredibly vicious DPS and attractively animated combos. Plus, the details on your starting blades are exceptionally cool to look at, and knowing you'll find different kinds makes the prospect of maxing out a character with this build that much more attractive.
When you first start your energy building combo, your character actually leaps up into the air and performs a kind of outward double-strike that looks really cool. Combining these powers with superspeed makes it even better, and I expect to see lots of characters like this come launch. Still, that won't stop me from doing it.
Okay, so here are the basic ground rules for next week! If you've got any questions about Create My Champion, feel free to ask them in the comments below and I'll do my best to answer them in a timely fashion.
- Has to have one head, two legs and two arms -- or in other words humanoid.
- Nothing directly copyrighted.
- Try to keep it clean.
Simply leave a comment with what you'd like to see me make. I'll pick character ideas based on popularity and creativity -- humor always helps.
If you'd really love to someone elses' character idea made real, please leave a comment letting me know and it'll go into the tally. In the case of ties, a random winner will be chosen. In the case that only bits and pieces are requested, I'll merge them all together for maximum strangeness.
Also, voting will commence until Friday. So if you've got an idea or like one you see, don't wait to post!
