SheltRPG Character Design - Yellow

Awoo!

I thought I'd finally post the concept for the sixth and final party member of the side project we've been working on. Soon(ish) to become the main project, after we bring Shelter the VN to its conclusion.

His name is Falos, he's a big Cock, and a Bardbarian. He uses the power of music to overwhelm his enemies. He bashes them with his reinforced accordion and intimidates with his loud voice.

In the current concept of the story, he is Sansun's close friend and his travelling companion. He was either the reason why Sansun left banditry or someone he met soon after he did.

At first, he used Sansun as a useful fool for protection and as a muscle on the path to realizing the cock's dreams. However, Sansun's innocence, good heart, and downright unsettling disregard for his own well-being awakened the sense of shame and empathy in Falos he never thought he had. The first time Falos put a dent on his accordion was when he bashed it on someone's head to save Sansun.

They continue their travels, but this time it was for the sake of supporting each others' dreams, Sansun's and Falos's both. Protecting each other from whatever stands in their way.

Eventually, Falos learned of the existence of a new settlement at the far North edge of the Canine country and its powerful warlord, which Sansun recognized from descriptions as his lost brother, Lucas Mossmane. They sent a gift of foreign snacks to the warlord, announcing imminent arrival, and set out towards the dangerous Canine lands.

Unfortunately, Falos gets captured by the Crimson Royal Grove's soldiers right before they could reach the Corrupted Borderlands between the countries. Now Sansun embarks on the mission to rescue his Rooster friend from under General Gunner's nose…

……but things get freaky, and not in a sexy way.

But of course this is just a simplified version of the current vague concept of the story, and it can change multiple times before we even release the first build. Whatever we settle on, I'm sure it'll be super cool!

Now that I look at their pictures, I see that both Falos and Sansun have faces and manes in orange and red, which is accidentally fitting! Like attracts like!

I like to talk about the origins of character creation, and there is kinda a past source to Falos, too.

Remember how I said Noon Moon was my first even DnD character? Well, technically, Falos was my first one even before Noon, but I never really counted him as one. He was from my very first time of trying a DnD and it was a bit of a disaster. I barely remember the details from that anymore, but the DM was kinda grumpy through the game, and I was killed in one hit by some overpowered monster when I was still getting the hang of the rules. Well over double my max HP hit. I wasn't even allowed last words as a character.

Thank dog I didn't give up on DnD forever after a crazy first-time experience like that! It's a wonderful pastime when done in a good environment, with good people, and all the future experiences with DnD after that were fun and enriching. Turned out that the first Falos game was just an exceptionally weird one, and at the very least it taught me a lot about what not to do when hosting my own games in the future haha.

So yeah, it's your turn at redemption, Falos, you beautiful Bird Bard Barbarian boy.

To finish at a high note, I can mention his dong too.

As an Avian, he has a cloaca hiding a long, thick, flexible yet rigid shaft he can wiggle and flex with full freedom, enabling a kind of sexual pleasure that no man of any other species can replicate.

I'm thinking I should maybe just draw a page of dicks of all six species groups and explain their anatomy in more detail sometime… There's a bunch of really important lore there, tying to the qualities of each Mana and all that. Each one of them has something special going for them…

So yeah, that's the Cock. I'm still gonna post a size comparison of all the current designs, and after that, I'll start sharing details of the current development of the game's engine, sprites, and stuff. Look forward to that!

Awoo!

Your Dog,
