Diligent Demon

Hey there! May I interest you in my fandomless OC, Aamon Zagan? He's a Demon who uses his powers of multiverse travel to research other universes! Though this mostly just ends with him befriending random people from around the multiverse (your muse)!

I'm comfortable RPing with all fandoms, muses, and (almost) all types of plots!

Go ahead and like this post or follow if you'd want to interact with him, and reblog to spread the word!

So in relation to Olgan specifically, I could imagine this being a Potemkin and Axel situation where - despite there being similarities between Olgan and Chiasa - the two characters want totally different things in terms of their fighting styles (in this hypothetical game.)

Olgan wants to get in to mid range, abuse her range advantage without getting outranged by zoners, pester and prod people until they get impatient and make a mistake that she makes them HEAVILY regret.

Chiasa meanwhile I would imagine is less about making the opponent impatient and badgering them into making costly mistakes, but more about playing "honest" fighting games. She has a solid collection of tools for almost every occasion, but to get out of her weak zones she has to take risks.

Chiasa has amazing close range, to start. Strong panic buttons to get out of sticky situations, plus-on-block normals to keep opponents pinned down once she's in their face, and reliable, safe moves. She even has a unique throw which allows her to keep the opponent on the ground for longer, so she can set up, or to throw them full screen if she wants to set up her projectile game.

Chiasa's specials are amazing at close or long range, but come at a small cost. Chiasa has a KAMI'S FLAME meter, but it's mechanics are pretty basic. All "Kami's" specials require a pip of Kami's Flame in order to use them. This includes summoning a pillar of fire that tracks the opponent's position, overhand tossing a fireball that looks like a cute puppy that veeeeery slowly chases the enemy, or creating a fire trap disc that activates when an opponent moves over (or wakes up into) it!

To get Kami's Flame, all Chiasa has to do is perform a unique special where she warms herself up with a plethora of unique animations (doing jumping jacks, rubbing her hands together, smacking her cheeks, etc) - this special is also automatically used if you try to use a Kami's special with no Kami's Flame pips. She also has an install super where she, for a limited time, can use these specials an unlimited number of times with extra hits added on.

She also has normal specials not tied to Kami's Flame, but these specials involve Chiasa performing a small animation of her summoning flames in front of her before she utilizes it in her actual special... which means they take longer to come out then other, comparable specials, at the risk of people having to guess what she's going to do.

Chiasa putting a puff of fire in front of her means she could throw a projectile at you ... or perform a shoulder charge through it ... or kick off the ground as an invincible antiair. I'll admit that this is straight-up stolen off of K' cause he's cool as fuck.

So what's Chiasa's weakness? Midrange and setup. Her normals don't go as far as you'd think, and even her strong Kami specials are best utilized when the opponent is down for okizeme, or full-screen so they can't punish her for just tossing them out.

If the opponent sees Chiasa perform her normal, slower specials - them guessing what she's about to do can lead to a massive punishment.

And if Chiasa gets into a situation where she's out of Kami Flame, this limits her options and requires her to play close-only until she can get a throw or a knockdown on the opponent to heat herself back up.

Imho you can have 'random' effects in fighting games, but they should never be FULLY random.

A good example is Teddy's item throw in Persona 4 Arena, where Teddy throws out a series of "random" items. Some items are awful. Some are godlike.

Except it isn't ACTUALLY random. It's a predecided series. Item X goes into Item Y, then Z, etc. The only random thing is where you start in the series at the beginning of the match.

Olgan is obviously a character with big buttons that deal heavy damage, making it easy to out-range any non-zoner opponent and bully people from juuuust outside of their range until they make a mistake.

Her specials are two separate series of rekka's. One being a series of wild punches with multiple follow-ups, and one being a series of brutal kicks. She also has a few set-up specials, such as temporarily changing the direction of the wind. The wind can be pointed left, right, or down. Left or right will speed/slow people up depending on the direction they're facing, as well as massively slowing down or speeding up projectiles. Pointing the wind down massively decreases jump height for ALL characters while active, instead.

She's got low mobility (at least compared to the rest of the 'cast' of this hypothetical indie fighter I'm making through these series of asks I guess), and especially has an AWFUL backdash. Why would she run AWAY from her problems, after all?

Her unique mechanic, however, is her NATURE'S WRATH gauge. This gauge fills up slowly over time, but fills up faster with most combo enders, use of certain special moves, and by Olgan getting hit.

Getting the gauge higher will enhance certain supers. However, you should probably never, NEVER let the gauge hit level 5, because then a Nature Surge will happen AUTOMATICALLY, WITHOUT YOUR INPUT, causing random* changes in the wind, and lightning strikes to hit the arena, all of which effect and can FULLY DAMAGE AND STUN Olgan as well!

You can temporarily reduce and pause the buildup of Nature's Wrath with special throw and combo enders that deal 0 damage and just push the opponent away from Olgan, as she decides they're "not worth it."

Or, y'know, you can always use other combo enders that have her give into her rage, deal higher damage than normal, and build up the wrath waaaaay faster, if you want to embrace chaos.

Though, obviously, you can also use meter to cash out the Nature's Wrath before it becomes a problem. I even imagine she'd have a super to invoke a Nature Surge while granting her near-immunity to its effects.

By default, Aamon as a character is rather unassuming. Slightly lower than average health, some quick but stubby normals, with a neat but small collection of specials. Command grab, a dash with multiple follow-ups, like a long-range lunge and a dash with multiple follow-ups, fakeouts, etc. A very tricky, but weak character.

...Except for the fact that 'default' Aamon is not the whole character, because in addition to his base moveset, you must choose at least 1 of 3 of Aamon's "eyes" to activate at the beginning of each round.

Choosing the Evil Eye expands his options out of his dash by letting him backdash out of it, adds tricky normals, allows him to charge certain specials to give them alternate properties, and a parry.

Choosing the Wild Eye gives him a dive kick, an extra air-jump, allows his special dash to pass through characters and hit on the other side, and adds a new special which allows him to perform his dashing lunge from the air.

And choosing the Stalwart Eye gives him extra specials with his glaive that work on a small cooldown timer, that give him armor, allow him to power through/reflect projectiles, while giving him access to big, long-range pokes he doesn't normally have access to.

Now, you have to activate 1 of these Eyes minimum every round ... but you can activate more at a cost.

Having 2/3 active causes him to deal 15% damage and build 15% less super.

Basically I'm realizing that after the events of his plot, being forced to do some things he didn't want to by the entity that created him...

I can see his previous insomnia only getting worse as he gets interrupted by night terrors when he does find sleep, and also the subject of said night terrors making him unable to eat a decent meal for days at a time.
