So I was going to leave it at that, but I'm kind of a petty person and [quote=@Dark Light] But it’s ok, you don’t like my idea 🤷🏼‍♂️ you don’t like my idea, [/quote] didn't really sit well with me. So passive-aggressive for no reason. So now I'm going to explain exactly [i]why[/i] I don't like the idea, even with this addendum. [quote=@Dark Light] [@Ammokkx] The idea was that he never went ‘wild’ just wasn’t happy with the choices to bond with but people wouldn’t accept that. [/quote] Okay, but like, what is this sentence then "What was supposed to be an easy meal turned into something so much more." This [i]deadass[/i] implies he sees humans as no more than a meal at that point. Combine that with the core concept of 'Pride' and I don't see how any even remotely sentimental conversation could ever bring him back to reason. The opinion of humans is set at an all-time low with just the inclusion of this; if you want to make his character nuanced, your writing needs to reflect that. [quote=@Dark Light] This kid is his former partners grandson. [/quote] Still nothing to go off of here. If you want me to buy the change of heart you need to sell it, especially as this sheet was presented as a finished product rather than a WIP (or you at least gave no indication of it being such). You can't leave out a key part of your character and expect me to just be okay with it; in fact, this only makes it harder to review as I'm gambling on what you're actually going with. You need to show the hand you're playing or else you're just cheating at poker. [quote=@Dark Light] And I got tired of the back story so o saved it for the humans but through their conversation the construct realises his former partner did care about him because stories were passed on. He was never trying to be better like Draken thought but was trying to keep up. [/quote] Not mentioned, no reason for me to care. Mention this ahead of time instead of leaving me in the dark and leaving me to guess; as it is I still only have the base sheet to judge off of, which isn't written remotely well enough to garner a hint like this from it. [quote=@Dark Light] I was actually initially basing the idea more off that chameleon thing from monsters inc before I found the predator images. I think the only thing they influenced was it’s vision. [/quote] Cool, but you didn't use that faceclaim. Appearance matters a lot, despite what you may think; Something as overly aggressive and threatening like this is going to give a certain first impression, one which you did not play down. If you want a good subversion, look at how OwO did it. Viscera is downright gory but the fleshy, ugly exterior is in deliberate and stark contrast to their 'average joe' personality. Your personality, however, does not contradict the appearance, and the backstory most certainly doesn't. Constructs that hate humanity don't tend to go back, and I'm sorry to say, but making him look super menacing instead of cuddly [i]does[/i] reinforce the idea that he wouldn't stop hating them. Especially with a prideful core and as his primary purpose seems to be doing battle. This, in turn, heavily contrasts every other signup so far, where the constructs very much looked for co-existence. While I'm not opposed to the idea of one with more apprehension about this, you have to remember, you're still signing up to an institute who's first and foremost goal is fighting against your own kind. He knows what it's like to be seen as a rogue and could, therefor, easily have been on the other end. The receiving end. But this also does not play a part in your character, so I'm left to question what the hell he'd be doing in Geiru. [quote=@Dark Light] Camouflage was always part of the reptilian soldier concept. Also the human half was going to be a massive contrast. [/quote] Keyword: 'was' I don't care what it [i]was going to be[/i]. I care about [i]what it is[/i]. I don't just dislike your idea. I think you just have a poor grasp on what the setting was meant to be. You didn't really design it with the world in mind, as far as I can tell, as it pretty much flies against what I've been establishing and the lore I've set up. You just made "a predator chameleon thing with spikes n'd stuff" rather than "a rogue construct turned good guy". [i]That's[/i] the flaw in your sheet, and [i]that's[/i] why I don't like it.
