E & T

So three of the people in Colony Delta are Blades. I know most Blades in Xenoblade 3 are just kind of generic and don't really show any connections to the Blade elements from 2 (I think the only exceptions are Sena, Nimue, and Cammuravi). I gave the Delta Blade trio elements because I think it'd be cool but I'm not sure how to show that in their designs.

Thea: She's the main OC in this project so she really needs to stand out like the heroes in game. She's an electric Blade. I've heard lightning can leave some neat patterns where it strikes so that could be used as the pattern for her ether lines, but I'm afraid of seeing how those marks would look on real people since I'm worried those images might look too gruesome (I'm weak).

Hilda: She's a dark Blade. Thinking about giving her some kind of space theme, but I don't have much more than that.

Ulrich: He's a wind Blade. Looked at Blades from Xenoblade 2 for inspiration and like half of the wind Blades there aren't even close to looking human. Some bird traits would be the easy thing to do but that might make him look too much like a High Entia.

Oh I might need to make this real, I can already imagine a Bana equivalent that sounds like Chris McLean Total Drama and it's incredible.

Thinking about the world for this Xenoblade idea. Initially I was thinking of an island world (either in a normal ocean or sky islands) but that could get too similar to Alrest. Then it hit me, cave world. People live underground in these giant cave systems. You can have funky glowing crystals and wildlife, lakes, lava caves, icy caves, weird magnetism stuff like Pokemon's Chargestone Cave, super dark areas, ruins, mines, there's plenty of variety for these caves. There's also the whole "why the fuck is everyone underground what's going on on the surface". Were they forced to go underground, and if so was it because of some natural disaster or the actions of other people? Is it dangerous on the surface? Do the cave dwellers even know the world above even exists? Lot that can be done here.

Haven't done much on the characters yet since I'd like to get the whole situation with the cave world and the surface first. Will probably have a starting trio like Shulk/Reyn/Fiora and Noah/Lanz/Eunie, trio of childhood friends. Mentor figure is also likely, might have a kid join the group, and of course there's got to be a Nopon in the group but I'm not sure what they'd do. 5-7 is the range for permanent party members in Xenoblade games so I don't want to get too carried away.

Aside from humans and Nopon (they are everywhere), there's probably other new races but I don't have any ideas yet. Another thing is that while the numbered games lean towards British accents with some American and Australian accents thrown in and X has mostly American accents, I'd like to think that the cast of this game would have their own accent(s) to help signify that this is it's own universe. Not sure what accent they'd have, I am unfortunately a dumb American.

I’m so proud of you, you’ve come so far

I woke up to this yesterday. guess what I saw just now

I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE NOT TELL YOUR FRIENDS

WHO EVEN ARE YOU PEOPLE

We're getting previews now for Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition (and I'll make a post about the stuff I saw later) but one thing that I already noticed:

You can change party members at any time, and we're getting more playable characters. The original version "only" had 19, and this menu shows 22.

spin this wheel for a length of fic. you have to write a fic that length

EVERYONE VOTE FOR MISS MELLY
