Great White Predator

edited January 2010 in Costumes and Concepts
So my main idea when I was first comming to Champions was to deffinately take advantage of the beastial parts to make some anti-hero style characters. The first I came up with shares my Chat Handle, Blood Shark, who is of course, an anthropomorphic shark vigilante. And I was wanting some feedback on his original toon, and a new one I came up with for his "new" and "improved" costume!


He's a Melee Supernatural (with some chain stuff to suppliment it) and Might at the moment, but I was wondering with the leaner design, if I could have a fast moving, clawing, biting, kung fu master. Anywho, rate, comment, suggest, all that good stuff. I'm new, so it means alot from veteran players.

    Dont like the fin? Cause the Great White head didnt come with one, so I feel he'd look a little funny without a fin somewhere, Should I try to put one on his head instead?

    Oddly enough, I'm working on a Might shark themed character myself, but it's a much more direct Karkaradon (enemies in Lemuria) sort of character. Lots of fins and whatnot.

    That said, I actually like the first one best, fin and all. Looks the most shark-ish to me. One thing that would really help the third one that you just posted would be the Shark Tail costume unlock which comes either from killing 5000 sea creatures (again, in Lemuria) or from the Wild Things costume pack in the C-Store (the easy way and, I'll admit, the way that I got it >.>).

    My take on a sharkman style hero:

    Edit: That first screen shot was pretty crappy, added some better ones:

    Edit Pt. 2: Any feedback on my Karkaradon costume (below) would also be much appreciated! Trying to fine-tune it.

    This would be my biggest area for improvement in your designs. I get that the name is "Blood Shark" but Blood + Sharks = Clich

    Blood Shark was found as a boy and forced to perform in a carnival for much of his youth. Eventually he escaped but because he wore the shackles for such a long period of time, his skin grew into them and they are now part of his body. The same shackles which were used to imprison him now give him enhanced resistance to damage and Blood Shark has vowed to use his abilities to help those forced into slavery - no matter where they are!


    (Something along those lines)....


    EDIT: might want to tone down the muscle tone....

    Interesting idea, though I like the chains on him as it gives me away to explain his Chain attacks, (The Lariat and Iron Cyclone) But the carnival idea is sorta neat, thanks for the inspiration!

    Honestly, im not sure if I want to go with Blood Shark for the actual name, i've also thought about going alone the lines of Great White, Megalodon, or Carcharodon. Any other ideas? I want a good inspiring name, something that befits the beastial anti-hero

    what does this remind be of..... there was some really old cartoon show with humaniod sharks with roller skates....

    anyways, I'd help, but I can't mess with the shark heads.... if anything i'd make the neck as big as possible.

    Just don't use Land Shark, I can't count how many times I've seen that name. Before I came up with the parody of the Great White Hope, I was going to use Chum or Chumbucket, feel free to use them if you want.
