I had this idea to make some weapon kits based on all of the Psychopaths, although I don't have many ideas so far.

Paul is one of the only ones I have a concept for and I'm hype as fuck about that new clip of him, so I decided to draw him as an Octoling with his weapon kit for this day of the countdown.

*All of these weapon kits are primarily based on the weapons, fighting methods, and overall vibes of the Psychopath they're designed after. Actual Splatoon meta, synergy, and viability are barely, if ever, considered at all.

Wayyy too much elaboration on the Main Weapon, Sub, and Special choices and a loose description of the weapon skin below:

I feel like Explosher is just a very obvious choice for Paul, as a quite long-range explosive weapon. Paul prefers to keep his distance from Frank throughout the boss fight.

Autobomb is another obvious choice. Really any of the proper bomb Subs would be perfect, but Autobomb especially felt like a good idea to reflect his RC cars. I literally jokingly call them Autobombs since you never actually *see* him steering them, making it look like they just kind of drive towards Frank of their own accord.

Autobomb as a Sub also reflects the pipe bombs he's constantly trailing behind himself as he evades Frank. As the lowest ink consumption of all the one-hit-kill bomb Subs, they are easily very spammable.

Triple Inkstrike is technically an explosive Special. I wanted as well something that can reflect the way that you can cause Paul to inadvertently blow himself up throughout the fight if you interrupt his running at the right times. And/or how he sometimes stops to laugh or taunt Frank which ultimately leaves him open for a moment.

There are no weapons, Subs, or Specials that can deal damage to the user themselves, HOWEVER Triple Inkstrike is a Special that leaves you incredibly vulnerable to enemy attack when you use it, as you are not allowed to duck back down into your ink until you've thrown all three. This means an opponent can have an easy opening to interrupt your usage and get some damage in or even kill you. This is the closest I can get to Paul's vulnerability in his boss fight.

The idea I had for the weapon skin is a black, or dark cool-grey, Explosher with the design on his T-Shirt as decals.

I was going to put together an image using Yaga's Kit Generator, but it seems I need to be on desktop for everything to properly work. I'll do it after I have more kits to make and post, I think.

I'd actually prefer to wait anyway, I'm hoping that his DRDR textures have his shirt fully textured (in the OG, his shirt is only textured as much as it shows through his jacket, leaving the D and H on the text, as well as a bit of the skull design, completely cut off). That way I can use the entire design without having to do guesswork on the font and shapes.

To the like... few other Paul Carson fans, take a playlist I made for fun 😁 feel free to suggest songs in the comments, early 2000s and 90s music is definitely preferred since this is based on what I think he'd listen to! I'm super excited to see what he looks like in the Deluxe Remaster.
