I think in one of the games dc has similar to rivals that Hal is actually a support.
I HAVE HIM! (lowkey i am too much of a simp... I just outed myself)
Listen Anon
Listen
You just poked my hurt scale, I'm sorry for the Wall of text below.
This is my BIGGEST pet peeve ever when it comes to JL's strategy because the strategies (presumably made by Batman) are always stupid as fuck
Green Lanterns are perfect SUPPORTS and Tank
There are heavy hitters, and there are stealth units, but like, that's it??? I swear to God, they just all fly towards the nearest big bad and hope for the best. One by one, too, like a bunch of morons.
Green Lanterns are the perfect supports because of the versatility of their skills; they can create shields, pick up their fallen comrades, transport important objects and even people, open portals, apply debuffs, and disrupt the enemies' formation. EVERYTHING.
AND DC JUST LET THEM SHOOT BEAMS??? BEAMS?????????
BEAMS??????
Listen, they can even HEAL if our DC Enemies game decides to add Kyle Rayner in with his White Lantern form. (Hal can, too, but I just think he's more adept at keeping himself in battle, and not healing others) (So realistically, he should have a passive that heals himself)
AND NORMAL DC IN COLLAB EVENTS JUST LET THEM SHOOT BEAMS AND DO ROCK PAPER SCISSORS
Listen, anon, I have a lot of thoughts on this as a fps player (i know... a wibu, and a fps gamer, I am at the bottom of the barrel, but like-)
My thoughts about Hal's skill set in a fps shooter like Ovw and MR below the cut, very long, so beware
I talked a lot about other games so yea, it would probably only makes sense if you have played Overwatch and Marvel Rival before
Hal should be similar to Invisible Woman in Marvel Rival mixed with Brigitte in Overwatch. As in, he should be a shield support made to peel for other players with high capability for damage and self-sustain with a LONG cooldown because his skills are OP.
The primary weapon is short-range, like Brigitte's. Secondary weapon should also be a bit like shield bash, but like, he forms a pair of hands to push the enemy away and cause damage on the way.
Healing is AOE like Inspire whenever he lands a hit. I don't want him to have high healing too much, because he's not really famous for it, so healing through inspiring people is more canon (both in personality and canon story). This healing passive applies to him faster. And he should have another passive trait where he resists CC by 50% or is immune to CC every 35 seconds or something, (or an extra life when he receives lethal damage) (This passive is called "Indomitable Will" lol)
His skills should be creating a shield for his allies, but the mechanics should be similar to Sigma or Ramattra's shields, not Invis's, because then it would be too easy lol.
And for the supplementary damage/cc/movement skill, I think he should have mid-to-high movement. I think he should be able to fly, but not too fast. Like Ultron's flying speed. Also, gravity should affect him less than others (should lowkey be a passive for all space heroes, including Carol, Sinestro, anyone from the space mythos)
His Ultimate can vary. Not gonna lie, he can do too much stuff; it's hard to pinpoint what his ult should do. But since he's an excellent fighter also I think he should get to be a damage dealer during his ult as a treat:
Ultimate, "Emerald Knight": Similar to Captain America + Brigitte. He turns into a semi-tank (off-tank) during his ult's duration. He forms an armour around himself; his weapon is now a big ass sword, and he plunges forward and pushes back enemies upon impact. More enemies = More extra health created for himself. Dealing damage creates more shield. ('Inspire' effect is x1,5 during his ult) For 8 seconds, he's a purely brawl tank. After the ult, his shield and extra health slowly fade. If he dies during the ult, his death will still only occur after the ult ends. Effectively immortal during those 8 seconds. (can only be stopped with CC)
Damn, I made him a little too no skill LOL.
If I am being honest, he can easily have Gambit's kind of skill set, where the players get to choose his fighting style, either full support or damage support.
Kyle, lowkey, should function like Adam Warlock. High damage. Revival Ultimate. But he should like, can only have one slow levitated jump for mobility.
Guy should function like a brawl tank with his bat and extreme self-sustain ability. He can have his Red Lantern ability to switch up a bit. Bullshit it into 'create shield for his own organs' or something. Would ironically eat as a peel tank. He can do I trust him.
John should function like Groot, focusing more on creating constructs and space control for team fights instead of supporting or peeling.
(sorry I haven't thought of other GLs much, I am more familiar with the Corpsment lol) (Jessica can be DPS, I think she suits DPS more) (NEVER MAKE WOMEN SUPPORTS JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE WOMAN I LOATHE THAT STEREOTYPE)
Hal should be able to team up with all three of the remaining Corpsmen by giving bonus health to their construct, amped healing, amped damage, or reduced cooldown on construct. Wait, but it's lowkey boring. Or OR team-up gives them an extra life. It can switch to 'Parallax infection' where their skills do true damage.
You can do anything with Green Lanterns, MAKE THEM SUPPORTS
Like I swear to God, like, with Batman he can do stealthy sh so make him an assassin, sure. Wonder Woman, TANK. Next question? Aquaman? Crowd control tank or support. Superman? Flying tank or DPS, he cannot heal for sh. Billy Batson? TANK. IF THE SUPPORT SPOTS ARE EMPTY, SHOVE THE GREEN LANTERNS INTO THEM.
Superman is weak to Kryptonite? Quick, Hal, create a barrier around him! Batman needs to escape from the enemies' backline? Quick, Hal, follows him and supports his ass. Wonder Woman wants to use Ult? Quick, Hal, use your skills to make sure she doesn't die using her ult and also fly after her into the backline. Or better yet, Double ult!
GREEN LANTERNS ARE BETTER AS SUPPORTS AND TANKS IF WE EVER GET DC ENEMIES! I SAY WHAT I SAY!
I'm sorry you have unlocked the Pandora box, anon :(
I have a lot of thoughts
I just think that no one really cares since FPS games and Pregnant Hal enjoyers don't align much lol
“Don’t stand so close to me, darling, lest my beauty and brawn blow you away! I’ll dominate the track and dazzle onstage!”
It’s been a while since I’ve designed a new Umamusume OC, and looking at the ones I’ve done so far, I realized I haven’t done one based on a mare. I settled on Zenyatta, given her 19-win streak beating out Eclipse, her sheer size compared to even stallions, and her habit of ‘dancing’ just before races. There was enough personality there that I felt I could turn into a character.
Zenyatta is, first and foremost, an entertainer. With her parents being producers on many iconic albums, Zenyatta grew up with music all around her, and this unsurprisingly led to a lifelong interest in dance. She started practicing as soon as she was old enough to attend classes, and kept it up even after her athletic aptitude became apparent. As soon as she debuted, Zenyatta quickly gained a massive following with her pre-race dance flourishes and her showy personality, charming fans and fellow racers alike. To her, talking herself up and showing off is her entertaining her audience, not self-aggrandizement. Zenyatta also isn’t all flash and no substance, either. When she races, she dominates the competition with an exciting end-closer style that hypes up spectators with close finishes, using her height and raw strength to push through the pack. Zentatta resides in the newly-christened Lane’s End Dorm, rooming with her friend and rival-in-popularity Rachel Alexandra. The two’s racing schedules don’t line up at all, so they can freely discuss strategies without them being used against each other. They’re also both a part of Team Altair within Lexington Academy’s team races. Zenyatta leads by example, doing her best to inspire and encourage her teammates. So far the only thing that has ever thrown her off her groove is learning that her favorite band, the Police, broke up because the members all hated each other. This sent her into a deep depression, and she refused to leave her room for a week straight, drinking way more Guiness than usual (while still observing the legal limit for Umamusume.) Nothing ever gets Zenyatta down for long, though, and she’ll continue to put on a show for as long as she can.
Zenyatta took a lot of thinking at first, but once I did my research. the pieces started to fall into place. The real horse was named for the Police’s third studio album, Zenyatta Mondatta, since her owners produced the album. When I was figuring out her racewear colors, along with the jockey colors, I took the colors from the album cover, using those warmer tones as highlights against the cyan and pink. Her eyes are actually a miniature recreation of the cover, with the same colors in the same places. I made her dress take inspiration from a French cancan dancer. The Police used plenty of French words in their album titles, and the ruffles really stuck out to me as a good way to add detail. I included blue triangles as a motif, once again as a reference to the album cover. I made her skin darker for more variety, and her hair color comes from the actual horse, with the blonde tips implying that she once dyed it blond to be like Sting and his bandmates.
I do want to draw Paynter next, since I’ve had a potential design for a while, but I also have ideas for Rachel Alexandra. Either way, I need to learn how to draw more efficiently. I don’t like having to take a month per picture. I’d also appreciate ideas on the dorms aspect of Lexington Academy. In my head, they have a lot of dorm buildings whose names change based on whoever’s all sponsoring the school at the time, because American racehorses come from all over the country from all kinds of breeders and farms. Even so, it’s hard to organize American Umamusume because there's just so many places, and I end up having to think about where to put students who don’t have a corresponding named dorm, or decide who gets a named dorm and who doesn't. I’m not sure how to handle that worldbuilding aspect, so I'd be open to suggestions. Anyway, thanks for taking a look at my drawing!
Could I interest you in some info about these two idiots?
Kassem 'Kass' H. Malik and Vermont 'Jaime' James are my very own homemade blorbos and for the next week starting today (April 19th), you could help them advance in the @original-character-championship! Go HERE to vote
And why should you?
Well, idk, but I will use this as an excuse to just talk about them so I can for once stop spinning them in my mind. They are also the main characters of a ... thing I'm slowly trying to write. In the simplest terms possible:
Kass and Jaime lead normal, regular lives. And that's easy enough for them, since they don't remember. Don't remember that they're actually immortal, elemental beings of great power who - in order to get out of having to fight in the great war of good and evil - burned away all their memories and powers and rendered themselves mortal. They don't even know that the memories will eventually start to return and that they've done this same thing over and over again; choosing each time to abstain from their responsibility and live on, in safety and hiding and in ignorance, and together
It's about memory, and about devotion, about loving to the point of destruction. It's about the decisions we have neither the right nor the choice but to make and it's about their consequences. It's about the things we must do, the things we are asked to do and all the things that fall between them. About responsibility and fleeing and being scared to death and beyond
And it is about two men who love each other because what else is there to do?
and if you wanna indulge me and simply read, well, the (very rough) draft of the opening to their tale can be found here:
They've Asked for My Assistance - Teaser
As for their individual characters, well, let’s take them one by one
Vermont, going mainly by the nickname Jaime, is the main instigator of their resets, the one who actually does it and yes, there is a lot of guilt built up there and then buried relentlessly. He’s connected to fire and especially the sun. He’s also kind of a lame guy?
Violently private to cover up a deep inability to connect with the people around him. Smart, but definitely not emotionally, kind but prone to defensiveness and isolation at the mere idea that he or the people he loves are being mildly inconvenienced threatened. He spends most of the time after their resets as a history professor but in a not insignificant amount of cycles he’s also been a carpenter or straight up a lumberjack
If Kass wasn’t around he’d probably be an unironic marvel fan and wear only beige polo shirts and fjällraven pants
Bonus info; on a meta level, he started his life as a spoof on Indiana Jones, that’s also why he’s named that!
Kassem is in turn connected to water and especially the moon. It’s him for asks for the first reset, though he does start out opposed to the idea . On a personal level, he’s plagued by an endless curiosity that has driven him into every new turn of his existence. Kind of restless, filling notebook after notebook with flighty notes about almost everything. He’s a bit of a social chameleon, slotting in everywhere, at least for a while. He wants to understand and he’s good at getting to a place where he can but bad at every staying put. His heart eventually starts aching for whatever else may be out there
On a day to day though, he’s mainly just incredibly smart, and funny in a very sly, downplayed kind of way. Lightning sharp but not about to use it for anything nefarious . He’s an extremely prolific children’s book author (under a ton of pseudonyms) and does have a handful of longer, adult and extremely loose and poetic manuscripts tucked away in a drawer somewhere,. He’s yet to gather the confidence to pursue publishing
—-
In short, They’re kissing on the mouth, they’re so unnormal about each other. They’ve got the world at their fingertips and they’ve never held anything that wasn’t each other. They’re the sun and the moon and they’re continually escaping heaven for a second more alone and together. Eventually they’ll have to turn and face the music, but love, what if we had time yet? There was never anything else they could have done.
MAY THE WORLD LOOK AT YOU WITH EYES UNWAYVERINGLY KIND AND MAY YOU NEVER STOP LOOKING BACK WITH CURIOSITY I LOVE YOU ALL TO BURSTING AND BEYOND AND WE WILL MAKE IT THROUGH THIS AND MANY MORE YEARS I LIVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU
