Sonic? lol remind me of Sonic. XD

Sonic? lol remind me of Sonic. XD

No he doesn't look like Sonic the Hedgehog, much.

He kinda looks like a bulky Vex with wrist-mounted guns instead of blade.

Photross, the Bringer of Light
Type: Sentinel
Genesis: Cyber
Bio: Photross had fought in a war. In that war, an unknown species attacked Infinity, and became a rather large problem over time. For that reason, Photross was constructed. A walking laser cannon, that could puncture the hulls of enemy ships, and blast through hordes of enemies.

Photross had won Infinity the war, but in the end, Photross did not benefit from it at all. Because it was constructed for military purposes, there was nothing it could do, and in the end it shut itself down and started to rust.

When Suzu-the Crogenitor who wandered about on Infinity-found Photross, it had completely fallen apart. Repairing it with everything he had, Suzu managed to reconstruct the robot. He upgrded the cannon, so it could charge itself with light particles. A new war was coming, and Photross would need to fulfill his purpose.....again.
-----------------------------------------

Appearance: Photross' body is spherical and silver, divided into a top and a bottom part. Glowing lines are all over it's body. It has 4 legs, symetrically spread over it's body, and the front part has a 3-eyed sphere.
The top part has a cannon, and can turn around 360 degrees.
Weapon: A cylindrical laser cannon, fixed on the top part of it's body. The top of it is covered with solar cells.

ABILITIES-----------------------------
[Basic attack-Photon Ray]: Photross charges light into it's cannon for 1 second, and then fires it into a straight beam. Cuts through 3 enemies max. Deals 9-21 energy damage, but get's lowered with each enemy hit in succession. Thickness of the laser depends on how long Photross has stood still (see his passive).

[Unique ability-Scatterblaster]: Photross charges light for 2 seconds, and then begins to shoot thin laser-rays in a fan-shaped pattern, each individual ray dealing 4-12 energy damage. The amount of them depends on how long Photross has stood still (see his passive).
Costs 35 power, reload 15 seconds.

[variant ability-Zetawatt Beam/Omnishield/Proximity Mine/Charged Fist]

[squad ability-Reflecting Light]: Photross shoots a laser that bounces off walls and enemies, dealing 14-33 energy damage upon contact. The laser also leaves a trail that hangs around, and 2 seconds more after the laser dissapears. The trail does 3-9 damage per second. When the laser has reached it's maximum amount of bounces, it dissapears. The maximum amount of bounces is determined by the amount of time Photross has stood still (see his passive).
Costs 30 power, reload 10 seconds.

[passive ability-Light Collector]: When Photross stands still, his laser gets charged. For each charge you need to wait one second, stacking up to 5 times. The charge determines certain aspects of Photross' attacks. After attacking (squad member-abilities not included), the charge is lost.
Photon ray: No charge=0.5 meters. Each charge makes the beam thicker by 0.5 meters, 6 max.
Scatterblaster: No charge=10 shots. Each charge gives an additional 4 shots, max 30.
Reflecting Light: No charge=3 bounces. Each charge gives an additional bounce, max 8.

Yeah. A RANGED SENTINEL.

[Cavalier639]

Memento was ranged, too...

Seims, I agree with Kurlie in that your character is so far the best presented. I also admire your understanding of the stats and point amounts in Darkspore.

Kurlie, you said you wouldn't post Obsidian until there was a contest or something of the sort. Will you post other heroes that you make?

Deltav, I suggest adding a poll about which of the heroes everyone would like to see in Darkspore. It'd sort of be a fun way to spice things up.

[deltav]

Okido Cavalier, as soon as possible....

[FfDdc]

@Deltav: Eh, that's not so impressive. There was one before you, If I recall. Besides that, the passive is a direct copy of SRS-42's.

@Cavalier: Oh gods, I have been replaced as best hero creator. Better step my game up!

Hey, I was the one who helped him make that passive... so, In some way, I win...

Oh, wait, best presented... well, it's still very good!

Vazt, the Skullworn Huntsman
Type: Ravager
Genesis: Bio

Bio: In the massive jungles of Verdanth, big game animals were never in short supply. There was always a way to catch something-for food, for survival, for sport. The last one, in particular, was frowned upon by Verdanth's officials- it was pointless waste, the kind of act that only selfish egotists took part in. And so, hunters like Vazt remained on the dark side of the legal line-always toying with the authorities, never giving up their high-risk, destructive lifestyles.

But when the Darkspore came, the hunters' way of life entered turmoil. Until now, they had never been in any real danger; they were all skilled enough to take down the biggest animals on Verdanth, and many countermeasures were taken to ensure the authorities never found them out. But here, the animals had all gone bigger, stronger, and faster- and the vast majority of hunters had mutated into animals themselves. Vazt found himself on the run from his fellow huntsmen, wishing that authorities would come to find them now. But the authorities never came, and before long Vazt found himself facing the cities that had been trying to catch him, all taken over by the Corrupter and his ilk.

After many long days and nights running all over Verdanth, Vazt finally found Verdanth's crogenitor, Astra. Astra worked long hours, day and night, creating living weapons with which to battle the darkspore. Unhesitating, Vazt volunteered for the role; with his fellow hunters all fallen, he had nothing left to lose.

And so, after weeks of experimentation, Vazt was transformed. He was already an expertly skilled hunter; with the genetic modifications Astra had given him, he was more than a match for the legions of darkspore that had taken everything he knew. Riding into battle with his head held high, Vazt relived the old days of snaring and killing, becoming known as the Skullworn Huntsman.

-----------------------------------------------------
Appearance- A rough, insectoid creature, with long, bladed Forearms and elongated limbs. Think this:http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=usr-%253CFfDdc%253E|500383693866%3Asast-500705244419%3Apg-60 except thinner
With this thing's limbs:http://biosector01.com/wiki/images/e/ef/Set_Makuta_Krika.jpg
He carries many blades all over his body.

Weapons: the previously mentioned long, bladed forearms. When walking normally, they are used like normal legs; When attacking, Vazt holds up one of them and slices with it.

ABILITIES-----------------------------------------
Basic- Carrion Slice: Vazt slices with his forearms, making large sweeping motions in front. This attack has high range and deals 8-15 physical damage. If Vazt attacks 3-4 times in a row, on the 3rd and 4th hits his slices will be almost horizontal and can hit an additional enemy; on the 5th and 6th hits, he slices all around him and can hit another additional enemy, totaling up to 3 enemies max. When hitting more than one enemy, the damage of this attack will decrease by 35% for each additional enemy hit, for a total of 30% damage if attacking 3 enemies. Higher amounts of dex will decrease the amount of damage lost per additional enemy hit.

Special- Ensnare Bolt: Vazt shoots a bolt of webbing from his mouth. Any enemy hit by this bolt of webbing will become terrified for 5 seconds, taking 2-3 energy damage per second; everywhere he runs, he will leave a web trail that slows any enemy caught in it and deals 1-2 energy damage per second, lasting for 10 seconds until it dissipates. The original target hit will become ensnared after the 5 seconds of being terrified have passed.

Variant-
Alpha: Enrage
Beta: Roar of Derision
Gamma: Virulent Vines
Delta: Healing Sprite

Squad- Bladed Boomerang: Vazt throws one of the many blades he carries at the selected enemy, dealing 4-8 physical damage and causing it to be vulnerable to physical attacks for the next 3 seconds, taking 30% more damage. If there are any enemies on the path or around the target, the boomerang will hit those as well, and will continue to fly among and hit enemies until 5 seconds have passed or the button is pressed again. At that time, the boomerang will fly straight to Vazt, damaging any enemies in his path; if the boomerang is called back, the amount of time it would have continued flying is subtracted from the cooldown for this ability. If the target enemy/Vazt moves, the boomerang will continue to track down the target until it either meets it or is called back/runs out of time. The boomerang can be destroyed, and benefits from pet equips; if destroyed, the cooldown for this ability is increased by 5 seconds.

Passive- Superior Marksmanship: Projectile speed is increased by 10% and attack speed by 5%; all allies within 4m have their projectile speed increased by 6% and attack speed by 3%.

Overdrive- Projectile speed increased by 20%, attack speed increased by 10%; all allies within 8m have projectile speed increased by 15% and attack speed increased by 8%.

EDIT: Changed passive values, they were rather big before.
Original values:
25/7:15/4
50/15:25/8

[deltav]

@FfDdc: Yeah, I know. Just a random thing that suddenly appeared on my screen.

[FfDdc]

Uh, what?
So, how long till the poll goes up? I'm interested as to seeing which heroes people like best.

[deltav]

Oh, I am just having a small 'HowthehellamIgoingtodothis' moment. Since I can only have a maximum of 10 choices....

[FfDdc]

Ooooookay. That might be a problem.

[irrational31415]

how many users have posted a hero? you might be able to break it up by user

[FfDdc]

how many users have posted a hero? you might be able to break it up by user

Doubt it. That'd be unfair to any new posters.

[BrotherDog]

Perhaps a separate poll for each class: one for sentinel, one for ravager, and one for tempest.

[Cavalier639]

You can take multiple polls and then pit the finalists against each other, or you can take nominations. Two people have to nominate a hero (A creator can't nominate his own) and each person can nominate multiple times. You can decide how many nominations it takes to qualify and how many heroes each person can nominate.

FfDdc, I'm a bit confused by your remark. Do you mean Seim's Ravatron, or my Memento?

Seims, do you mind if I use your squad and enemy idea with Memento, of course giving credit to you?

[CrogenitorSeims]

Seims, do you mind if I use your squad and enemy idea with Memento, of course giving credit to you?

Sure, go ahead.

Seims' Ravatron. Yeah, that was confusing.

[Cavalier639]

I suppose that's good for him, but I thought that I had done a good job. No matter. A Cyber Tempest is in order and will make up for any flubs that I made. I'd also like to be, if I may, a third entrant in the hero lore contest. On the Spore Forum, I'm an avid roleplayer, so I shouldn't do too badly.
