General Description:
Friend is meant to be a dark Fey trickster kind of character, kind of like a hag. Their 'business', as they would put it, is to take the faces of their clients and change their appearance and personalities by giving them masks. They gain power from the faces they steal, while their victims are changed entirely overnight, sometimes in ways they never meant to.Friend has an off-putting demeanour, where their actions and appearance clash entirely with what they say and the tone in which they say it. They talk with an air of joviality, and it's clear there is a great passion for their work, but beneath that is a ravenous hunger for identities, lingering just beneath their own mask.
They have a long body that starts off thin like a snake, but gets bigger and puffier the closer it gets to their head. Their body is covered in spiky black fur with a tar-like texture, and along their body, they have pairs of clawed arms, acting as both arms and legs. Instead of a face, they have a mask, painted with dark, hollow eyes and an innocent smile, and their many hands are covered in porcelain, as if to mimic gloves.
Backstory:
There you are! I thought you'd never arrive! Before you ask, yes, I received your letters, and now that I've gotten a good look at you... Ugh. I can see why you sought my services. That is quite a disturbing face.Oh, don't be shy now! You're hideous - Inside and out! If you weren't, you wouldn't need my help to make you beautiful again, now would you?
…Are you questioning my qualifications? Now, of all times? I can assure you I have made plenty of deals like this - Changed people in much more severe ways. You needn't worry, you ugly little thing - I have as steady a hand as needed for the task, and a great desire to see your smile!
So, then - Is there a Mask that picks your fancy? I have many options. Traditional Beauty is always a good choice, but I can tell you have fine taste, so I won't bore you - How about some Self Esteem? It would go quite well with your eyes! Or perhaps I could add some Wisdom or Life Experience! It's all the rage these days! Ooh, or maybe-
…Ah. Have I overwhelmed you? You seem nervous. Worry not, precious client. I understand that your best choice might not be your first. Like I said, you seem like a very particular person with very particular ideas about what you should be. So do not fret! I am willing to put in the effort.
Just take a seat...
Relax...
Put what you were before out of your mind...
And let's get you fitted.
WEAPON (Firm Handshake):
(When firing, Friend fires jagged hands made of shadows. These are wide projectiles that can pierce infinitely, but travel slowly and disappear after a short distance, similar to how Drifter's weapon does.)
STATS:
ABILITIES
(Note: Most of these abilities are formatted at their un-upgraded versions to show what their base stats would be. However, since some of the upgrades are self-explanatory, but other times the upgrades need a bit of explanation, they are detailed within the ability description. So, if you're wondering why a level 0 ability has a tier 3 effect, that's why.)ABILITY 1:
(On the right is a brief mockup of how the target would select a mask. It would be like selecting an ability to upgrade where you'd need to unlock your mouse by holding tab, or whichever key the player has bound, and then clicking on the mask you'd like.)
ABILITY 2:
ABILITY 3:
ABILITY 4:
(Just to clarify, by 'Random stats stolen', it would be the equivalent of 3 Golden Statue buffs.)
(After the barrier breaks, you would start out incredibly slow, and then speed up overtime to the point where it is impossible for you to be outrun.)
