[Hero Concept] Fred - Jar Head Brain

[twinkies]

A jar head brain fits the aesthetic nicely.



Along the trend of early to mid 1900s monster flicks, a big portion of Deadlock feels reminiscent of the 2007 PSP game 'Dead Head Fred', from the music to the character design. As we also have Vampires, Frankenstein, Werewolf, Invisible Lady, and a Goo Blob.



As this is an Icefrog game I already assume a fishlike Slithereen creature, something like Creature from the Black Lagoon, will be added. A brain in a jar would go well nicely in the same vein as the rest of the cast.



As the cast becomes more unique, and in the spirit of monster flicks, this would complement the roster we already have well and bring in more players. The quippy voice lines between characters could be good too, a lot of 'Jar' talk with Graves. xd
