Motivation
I've had this idea on-and-off my mind enough times now that I'd like it up here. I'm not really approaching this from the typical, narrative sense (though i would like at least a little bit of that). I've been thinking a lot about different characters from a hypothetical gameplay standpoint. I'm most obviously inspired by Touhou and spell cards etc. but that's hardly the only source. I've played Guild Wars 2, MOBAs like HoTS and ARPGs and I think a lot about the way character traits inform gameplay skills and vice versa, so I'm going to try making up player characters for a hypothetical game.
Unnamed Evil Demon King Guy
Evil old king guy
Tired Undead Girl
An undead necromancer who's tired all the time. Her true age has lead to a total lack of motivation, common sense or social graces. Unimaginably old and therefore extremely powerful necromancer, but has a cynical, isolationist outlook and seemingly no motivation.
