- This is a very rough concept, right now it's mainly just art with messily written ideas.
- Sorry if formatting is wonky at all! This is my first time posting here.
- I haven't played much of Deadlock and have sticked to the lore/observation side of things so if I mention abilities that don't fit the game very well, that is why!
This is a nurse character with spider abilities that I have named Opal, their hero name Harvest. I named her Harvest after harvester/harvestman spiders, but then I learned they aren't really spiders? I'm keeping the name for now until I can find something better though. I wanted to make a spider character but couldn't think of a purpose until I saw the thread linked above. I decided a spider would be perfect as a medic character because they could do many activities at once with many limbs (similar to Kamaji from Spirited Away).
My full reference sheet with ideas and an incredibly rushed color reference:
(more references at the end!)
I'm realizing I accidentally gave them the Muffet (Undertale) color pallet. I will adjust that but I'm not great at making colors look good so Muffet's colors shall do for now! I don't have a specific spider in mind for Harvest, for the time being she is the idea of multiple kinds.
Tidbits of lore/potential abilities:
- She can take enemies body parts to create different medicines or poisons
- She puts spider venom into a syringe that can poison enemies
- Creates spider silk bandages
-I thought of her to be Australian Filipino, since Australia is one of the continents known for spiders. I added Filipino because of the Australian-Filipino actress Charlotte Nicdao, who I like a lot. I decided this after drawing Harvest's art so it doesn't reflect in features as much as I'd like.
- I settled on the age 27 but was playing around with the idea of her being something like 12 so she could match with Vindicta being killed as a child in the Salem Witch Trials? Where they could be buddies!
- No fancy weapons besides her medical creations. Has a basic handgun.
- Spiders have poor vision so I think her having 8-eyed glasses would be cute. Since spiders mostly work through sounds/vibrations/scents, her vision and audio could be altered.
- I know spiders don't have feelings but I like the idea of her being slightly anxious and as a nervous stim she holds hands with herself?? It was an interesting idea in my head and actually what made me want to create a spider-humanoid creature.
- Her personality would be similar to Miss Pauling from Team Fortress. Her role could be similar to Brigid Tenenbaum from Bioshock.
- Maybe Harvest could have a disguise to pretend they are healing the other team but is poisoning them or messing with some of their health regeneration stats.
- I gave her uniform an eye symbol to match the general eye motif, mainly from Pocket's eye mark that's on their hand because I found it interesting.
