Alright I wanted to list out some head-canons I have for the characters of eastward, this’ll grow overtime and I’ll likely add more characters as I go on since I’m clearly not gonna shut up about this game.
Disclaimer ‼️ :
These are head-canons so most if not all my thoughts aren’t from the actual game eastward, and instead are traits or ideas I gained from my personal interpretation while playing the game.
These head-cannons may contain;
Mentions of mild nudity or NSFW (18+). (I will make sure to also separate the NSFW takes from the regular ones if I do write any)
Visual changes to the original character(s) designs’.
Backstory ideas for certain characters.
And whatever else I wanna jot down, as this list will grow overtime/change.
Alva
Alva is the princess of new dam city in the game eastward. Her main traits are that she is an extraordinarily intelligent and has no issue understanding the great beyond, but is shown in the game to enjoy alcoholic beverages.
I feel like I need to firstly explain the head cannon design I did for Alva 😭 it’s a big reason for this explanation in the first place and seems to be the only way I want to draw her.
I decided to take the hoodie off her head as during the bath house scene in main game Eastward we get to see she has long pink hair that basically touches the floor and I’m sorry but I absolutely fell in love with it.
For the gapped tooth I gave her I thought she probably got it when she fell over or something because despite her smarts I think of her as clumsy from moving around too fast. (This also goes for the scars I littered on her face)
The lab coat, jump suit, tool belt, are pretty self explanatory, she’s a scientist who also loves mechanics so I decided to show that off more in her design while keeping most of her original colors.
Another side note, I like to think Alva is taller than Izzy, not by too much (Alva; 5”8 & Izzy; 5”5) but just enough for there to be a visual difference.
Izzy (Isabel)
Isabel (aka; Izzy) is the robot guard and sole protector of Alva, she was presumably created by Alvas’ father and has been with her since childhood.
I didn’t really change anything visually about Izzy, I have her jacket a few visible stitches since I assumed she would’ve ripped her jacket during a fight. But to be frank I already love her design so not much to change.
I think Izzy to be shorter than Isabel but is definitely the stronger one out of the pair and absolutely has no issue fighting a foe that may be much bigger than her.
I like to think that Isabel does have a module or component in her body that helps her process feelings, and this module soon turns into something greater as the years go by, allowing her to understand Alvas’ thoughts and feelings more.
I head cannon that Izzy is inherently a violent person, mostly because she is a robot with the sole purpose of protecting Alva, but when there’s no danger she’s pretty chill.
There’s something special about playing a game within a game. I’m not talking shitty quick time event mini games that break your immersion. I’m talking about when your player character can walk in a bar and interact with an arcade machine that has a littler game that you can play. I see that and I know there’s love built into the game
