#cybrids

Hi! ^_^ You're welcome, it's no problem at all, I love talking about Cy-Bugs and Cybrids! Ooh, very nice, I'd love to hear more about the character once you get them sorted out! :D Ahhh, thank you, you're too kind! I don't know if I'm an expert, but I enjoy figuring things out about Cy-Bugs. ^_^

You've got the main classes down, they're based off of real world bug society. Some real bugs also have a male class called drones that are only for breeding with females, but since all Cy-Bugs are capable of generating eggs whenever they want, there's no need for drones in that capacity.

Baby Cy-Bugs are pretty good at taking care of themselves, as seen in the movie. The Cy-Bugs lay eggs willy-nilly in Hero's Duty, but in Sugar Rush, the bigger Cy-Bugs seem to be guarding the nest and look to be keeping an eye on them. So, there might be some that are more prone to nurture, even if it doesn't come out in gameplay. There's gotta be a quick way to replenish the diminished Hive in the minutes between games. So, there's a chance that besides the Queen, there's a group of them laying eggs throughout the Tower, the wasteland, and/or the canyons, if there's always a handful laying, then there'll be ones ready at different stages to hatch after each game.

The Queen is the largest bug in the Hive, but there's big boss-level bugs that can show up (based off of the video game, anyway), so they're probably a stronger Soldier class of bug that specializes in one kind of combat that varies between bugs and whatever they've eaten. (In the game, there was one that had large cannons and specialized in shooting, one that teleported and summoned several smaller ones, and one that shot ice cream.)

The game also has many different appearances for Cy-Bugs, though most of them are based on either real world bugs or technology that they devoured. You could possibly create a secondary class for some of these, like the bomb bugs that explode on impact or the candy bugs that shrink in size several times when you hit them. Likely they'd all fall somewhere under Soldier, though.

The Cy-Bugs in the Hero's Duty online game function a little differently than most, they all look the same, except as the game goes on, they change colors and become tougher and can deal out more damage. The in-game excuses are that they ate an ammo sphere, a exploding container, and a fire extinguisher, I think. The fire extinguisher Cy-Bugs have a white or silver shell, so they really stand out. After you go against the first one of a new color upgrade, all of the types of Cy-Bugs can have the new color, even the baby Cy-Bugs.

In one of the comics, a group of Cy-Bugs coordinated and swarmed together to make one giant Cy-Bug, there could be a Soldier type that helps synchronize bugs or plan things out, or it could just be the Hivemind that enables them to do that.

Some bugs in the games do not have the ability to fly, so Soldiers are likely split into ground troops and flying troops. Some bugs are able to shoot things at you, while others just run up and attack. So. even within the ranks of Soldier, there's some leeway in abilities/specialties. All baby Cy-Bugs jump at you, if I remember correctly, they're limited in what kinds of attacks they're able to do.

As for headcanon classes, I use an Elite Soldier/Queen's Guard for my Cybrid, which is essentially a Soldier dedicated to working closely with and protecting the Queen, instead of being out and about on the battlefield. Likely they'd be mini-bosses or bosses before the battle with the Queen.

The Cy-Bugs are military machines, so there could be some classes based off of possible military applications. They're adaptable, so they'll change into what they need. A fast flying scout bug could come in handy for spying on enemies, there could be invisible ones that sneak up on their prey, maybe some can make loud noises to distract people, or even ones that use bright flashes of light to blind whoever they're fighting. One of the coloring books has a Cy-Bug with wheels and I think there's a mention of bugs eating vehicles in the novelization, so there's some possibilities there.

Cy-Bugs aren't often reduced to one battle gimmick, at the very least they've got their claws and their teeth. Their special abilities depend on their size and whatever they've eaten.

There's a whole lot of possibilities out there, if there's something you want your Cybrid to be focused on, see if you can figure out a real world bug way to do it or if there'd be a way that your idea would have military application.

I'm free from school after today for spring break we only get thurday, friday and monday off along with the usual weekend which is pretty lame

BUT THIS MEANS I HAVE TIME TO DRAW so my Cy-bug Project is coming out of hiatus

lkdfjalkj you guys are so great!~ I'm absolutely shocked at how many people have already sent in cybugs/cybirds for me to draw

I thought i'd get like four and lkdfjalkjdflkj I'm so thrilled I get to draw so many

Gonna be working hard these next couple of days that's for sure aha

I wanna do a thing a thing where I draw as many cybugs/cybrids/whatever-the-hell-you-want-to-call-them as I can I wanna draw A BUNCH OF THEM but I'm lazy and I don't want to make up a thousand cybugs

SO~

if you have a cybug/cybird character send me a link to a reference of them

and I'll draw them for you, yes, I will do this for each cybug/cybrid sent to me or if you don't have one but want one. Tell me what you'd like and I'll help design one for you. Because I want to and it'll be fun also if you want something specific tell me that too (but no porn sorry, unless you like sell your soul to me or something)

PLEASE I really want to do this
