ASURA: Polymelian Scion of the Void
By: Asura Date: September 14, 2015, 10:32 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Name: ASURA
HTML http://img06.deviantart.net/4f89/i/2015/346/5/3/asura_concept_art_version_1_by_wynterhawke07-d9jyqm3.jpg
Height: 110 meters
Weight: 60 000 tons
Gender: Male
Abilities: ASURA mainly fights using his six sets of arms and
his powerful jaws, and can spit torrents of eldritch energy from
his mouth. Due to his eldritch nature, he grows more powerful
and can recover from injuries by absorbing the life force of
slain foes and by consuming their flesh.
Bio: ASURA is the spawn or offshoot of a primordial eldritch
monstrosity from the Void, a dimension of darkness and chaos.
Codenamed after the six-armed evil deities of Hinduism, he is
covered in a dark, chitinous, biomechanical exoskeleton. Despite
his bestial appearance he is sentient and intelligent, but is
vicious and delights in combat and destruction. He fancies
himself a god of war and seeks to become the ultimate apex
predator, to which end he tests his strength against anything he
comes across, showing no mercy even towards weak opponents.

Always been a big fan of this guy! Always got the impression
that he was an up-close-and-personal heavy hitter.
Had a gameplay idea to tie into his over all play style.
I've seen mention on the sunstones forums of his Ichorous
Corruption ability. Personally, I think this could serve as a
much more interesting primary weapon for him than the Void
Astra. Being a more close range weapon, I think it ties better
into his heavy hitting gameplay and is also less typical than a
beam attack. I could also see a beam button held for a certain
amount of time to cover Asura in this Ichorous Corruption in
relation to how long this button was held. Aside from lowering
defense, it could also/or have energy damping abilities. This
could prospectively give Asura a way to boost the damage of his
physical attacks and counter attacks as well as reduce the
amount of opportunities an enemy has to hit him with ranged
attacks, which I surmise would be his primary weakness.
Thoughts? I don't want to shove my opinions on the character, I
just felt I had an interesting thought.

Glad you like him!
In regards to your suggestions, while it's true Asura is
generally an "up-close-and-personal heavy hitter.", I wanted to
give him ranged options and he's had an energy beam attack
almost ever since I first came up with him in 2011. The name
"Void Astra" is a little nod to the Hindu origins of his name,
since astra were the weapons of the gods. Regarding Ichorous
Corruption, its not so much meant to be something that covers
his body but a passive ability that corrodes an enemy's defences
as they're infected with his black ichor - essentially his
eldritch blood. His main weakness is to magical attacks, not
necessarily ranged attacks in general. That said, having it
lower their energy regeneration/ranged damage output might be
worth considering and I'll try to remember to mention it on the
off chance I get Prog. Thanks for the suggestions! :D
