MEET HOPIE!!!
This idea actually came from the OG design of ADS-3.0, when its name didn't yet suggest anything good... But I created Hopie when I decided to redesign that old design, but with my new drawing skills, since the original design is from two years ago, when I didn't have the same skills I have now. So, in order to keep the original design alive, I created a completely new character, which was essentially the same thing, just with different colors (and the small brother of ADS-3.0).
Overall, Hopie acts as an emotional support, kind of like a cheerleader to the team, except instead of performing choreography, he uses a substance that helps the individual feel safer or more confident at that moment (Another type of drug, similar to what his brother does) which comes from the guns on his arms.
He uses this ability in situations where, for example, the team feels considerably threatened, ensuring that the skill has a real impact at that moment and is not used recklessly. And since he's kind of a representation of a child, he's a bit more naive, but he's great at motivating people.
I'll give you an example. Let's say they're in a situation where a school is being attacked and some students are panicking. He could use his ability to make them more "relaxed" at that moment, less distressed. So it's kind of a dose of hope, really.
And within the team itself, when he sees a member feeling resentful about a situation, he doesn't just step over and use his skills to immediately make the person feel better. This would create a chemical dependency in the person if he used it with a certain frequency. Instead, he goes there and takes care of and comforts the person, creating a more comfortable environment for them, even with the conflicts they may be going through at that moment.
So he functions sort of like a bard. Always keeping the team motivated (not necessarily the animation, Embobador is more in charge of that).
In terms of personality, he's actually quite obedient, often being used as an example when the ADS-3.0 is about to reprimand some members. And ADS is very proud of Hopie, given that he can also act with a certain degree of independence.
In the lore, Hopie emerged as a similar idea to ADS, only changing the appearance to make it cuter and also using a less dangerous substance, since the sublimation substance in ADS can be used for evil in various ways.
Fun fact: Somehow, Hopie is the fastest in running from the main team.
Here you can take a look at his 3d model (which soon I will recolor to match better his new palette)
