Mr. Smiles:
I decided to try this out from the human perspective since humans would be on the lower rung of the food chain in this world which I find an interesting thought. He is a stalker and I envision him as a kind of post apocalyptic black-op assassin. He must rely on his elite skills and equipment to survive. He understands what he is being sent to kill and thus lives and trains like the most fanatical warrior imaginable. No friends, no family, no off time. He eats, drinks, sleeps and breathes nothing but combat and death.
I intentionally did not want him to have "armor of invinicibility" or other overly super power magic weapons so that I could focus and the strengths and weaknesses inherant in a human in this kind of world. The chances of successfully assassinating many of the creatures/machines in this world would be very low and desperate.
The only way I could imagine a human finding the will to even approach some of the terrors in this world, let alone attack them, would be with the aid of powerful drugs - in this case supplied by the gas tank and mask on his back that supply him with a dangerous, experimental cocktail of designer combat drugs to greatly enhance his physical abilities while shutting down his fear receptors. Constant use of these drugs would shorten his life span dramatically although old age would be an unlikely end for any warrior in the Dominance War world so it works out well for him.
He has firearms and a variety of grenades but those are last resort arms and/or distractions. He is armed to the teeth in general as he must be prepared for any kind of situation but his main weapons are the six Kukri swords - ancient mystical weapons that have the magical power needed to kill the most powerful of enemy. Their magical runes give the blades the power to slice through any foe regardless of flesh, metal or supernatural. I designed a harness for the gas tank that has the 6 sword scabbards built right in based off of custom scuba tank harnesses I found. The high-tech scabbards are magnetized allowing them to be much shorter than a normal scabbard while only allowing the swords to be removed if pulled the exact correct angle.
He is decked out in high tech body armor with a military style kevlar harness overtop that connects to the gas tank/sword harness in the back and supplies extra pockets. A balance of strength with manoverability, speed and stealth - not ment to compete with the kind of tank like armor a warlord might carry.
Does anyone know the anwsers to these questions:
1) Logo - I have this on the back of the gas tank. In the final image we would unlikely be able to see that part of his back. Is that ok since it is clearly shown on the model sheet or do I need to also get it on the front somewhere?
2) Colors - Can I use the logo OR use the colors or must I use both?
3) Single Magical Weapon - can a set of 6 identical magical swords count as the "single magical weapon"?
4) Guns - is it ok for Norms to have guns?
