#Character Concept: Ace Cyanide 🦨

After more than half a year in the backburner of my brain, multiple reworks, and all that crap, finally decided to bring into fruition some of my ideas for a FvF character.

Meet Ace: A stout, scruffy brawler that can't seem to keep his nose clean from trouble. They're vulgar and crass, yet with a heart of gold... kinda.

Their personality card is lil' Stinker; which mixes both ninja smoke and toxic bomb together, giving them a hotcard each round that brings both utility, mobility, and situational offense. In addition, It allows Ace to negate the effects of poison when invisible.

So if you use an invisible card you are not affected by poison bullets ?

Sorry, no new content™️ today due to me being busy loss
I do plan to do a "BFF update" style cardback next, and redesign [the current hotcard](#1267627808696303616 message) to something that looks like more crafted from mundane stuff (maybe a spraycan? idk)

What I can do is thank the first 11 ppl to like the thread. Seriously, y'all are the goat (Zatra didn't appear in the Pic, but they were one of the first too) 💖

I could also show other way less relevant stuff I've been cooking for myself, but maybe later lol

I have been working on a character concept. Do I need a 3d rendition. I am not that good at blender so something like that would be really hard for me. Any recommendations?

summer anchor
#

since day one, my goal was never to have Ace in-game but to materialize some ideas I've got since I've start playing FvF back at mid 2023

neat salmon
#

K. It's just some stuff on a digital canvas. It's my first real attempt at something like this. I've really enjoyed looking at everyone else's designs. I really like the stink cloud idea. I think there should be more poison effect cards. : )

#

I've been playing on and off since it dropped. Only recently got into the whole character idea after the huge roster expansion. Thks for the help.

#

Honestly I'd personally consider this project done once I do something like a fake mockup of how it would feel to play as Ace, kinda like this video of a vermintide fancharacter
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heivtT6_-1M

Inspired by the dialogue compilations of Lumeuu and the Vermintalks series by Game Dialogue, here's how a playable Skaven character's dialogue would probably sound like.

Max Payne monologues some shit like "when my wife died I had realized then that my wife has died because of that man. that man had killed my wife and that is the reason my wife is dead. on the account of the fact that my wife died it didn't help either thst my dead wife was starting to take up my mind ... which didn't help the fact that I was looking for the reason why my wife is dead"

3d modelling can be intimidating for a beginner I had a year and a half of blender going into modelling my own character and even then it was difficult for me

I like this idea, however, would having ninja smoke each round be a tad overtuned? Ninja smoke is such a versatile card that allows players to reposition, retreat, or take an aggressive approach. Having that each round sounds really powerful, on top of the toxic smoke idea (which I think is creative!) This card is already versatile, but being able to deal sudden AoE damage that controls an area of the map, whilst repositioning to a better angle every round sounds really, really good. Is there a better way to balance this idea while keeping the personality intact?

summer anchor
# lofty elm I like this idea, however, would having ninja smoke each round be a tad overtune...

I feel like keeping the numbers humble is more than enough

lvl 1 ninja smoke is:

Invisible; +20% movement speed for 3 seconds
1m radius, 8 seconds*
-# *afaik. I never have measure it.

lvl 1 toxic smoke is:

1.4m radius, 10 seconds
5hp ticks

Since the poison cloud part is a minor secondary thing, how about keeping it around 3hp ticks for 6 seconds; while keeping the invisible element as a lvl 1 ninja smoke? (1m radius, +20% for 3 seconds)

hopefully the ponytail, back neck fluff, and making the tank top somewhat puffy in the neck defines the silhouette good enough

oh dang

deep plume
#

This is probably a really bad idea, but what if they didn’t have a hand, or some fingers?

glad cosmos
#

I think that would just make it a hassle to animate

#

prosthetics maybe? but that would require you to change the base mesh and rerig some stuff

summer anchor
# deep plume This is probably a really bad idea, but what if they didn’t have a hand, or some...

Hmm... it does sounds a bit like a strange suggestion and i'm not sure where is it coming from. Not saying it's a bad idea, but I feel it's kinda hard for me to visualize, especially since Ace's a street bruiser

It does give me a cool idea tho: what if they lost fingers in the past, but they got reattached? All I had to do regarding that would be adding some scars right at the base of the fingers

ionic stone
glad cosmos
#

I'm trying to think if anything uses the pinky

#

losing the pinky sounds fine

#

could add some personality

#

fun idea

#

should probably be on like the left hand though I'm not sure which right hand animations would be interfered by that

#

you'd also have to remove the bone armature of the left pinky if so

like this

sometimes I forget the characters only have 4 fingers

it'll catch me off guard sometimes

Side note. Do you think it would be cool if Ace dropped with a sewers map. With mario-esk pipse?

maps are too big 😭

summer anchor
# brisk fossil evil

I can't see how is exactly bad for Sable, since going from one side to the other should be pretty fast, and there is cover points in the middle to not be gunned down immediately

#

Also, I don't want tunnels to be DbD ass infinite loops, so I plan to put debris and choke points for ppl to not mindlessly run around them

but im probably dumb

the map seems great win

you could have it so that if you stay too long on the dirty water a boat runs you over

so that it doesn't feel too much like rooftop with the "passageway in the middle instakill if you fall" thing

Ace's favorite cards (y'know, the ones that come with character updates n stuff)

Some are recycled ideas, others are new, and others probably suggested 84 times at this point. Please feel free to tell me I'm wrong and talk about balance and metagame implications (so the thread gets bumped lol)

==============

🍺 Booze (3) (Debuff) Legendary
"Make your rival dizzy."

Camera drifts, Vision Wobbles, and player moves side to side. (Similar effects to drinking Grog in Sea of Thieves.)

✒️ Black ink (2) (Buff) Epic
"Keep your cards a secret."

When you play cards during that round, they'll be displayed on the opponents feed as ink covered cards. On max level, the card sound cues also change to ink splats.

😜 Taunt (2) (Trap) Rare
"Go ahead, keep playing that!"

Triggers when any card is played.
Cards that don't match the trigger's color type gets blocked for 10/12/14 seconds.

💥 Chemical cloud bomb (1) (Helper) Common
"Throw a chemical cloud bomb."

Make a explosive cloud that last 10/10/12.5/15 seconds in a 1.3/1.4/1.5/1.5 radius. The cloud doesn't block visibility but it tints your vision yellow. Upon contact with an explosive or fire, the area covered by the cloud detonates, dealing 70/70/85/85 damage.

🗑️ Trash-eater: (1) (Buff) Common
"Garbage heals you"

Using a garbage card heals you 5/7/9/10 hp.

Typing them, discarding/modyfing the ones that didn't work to well, maybe recording some samples myself for reference
but the final product is gonna be commisioned to a VA friend I know

For one cuz I want to support em, but also bc I can't really picture Ace having my voice
