I'm nowhere near an important charas person, but can I be a boss? That would rock my socks.
Name: Phayre
Weapon: Rapier
Physical traits (I.E. clothes and hair with any physical features such as scars): Long purple-black hair, whatever you can make to wear, but should have a cape, cuz capes are awesomesauce
Weapon Based, Magic Based, Both: Hehe, both
Magic Element Affiliation (Not applicable is weapon based): Hehee, fire
Why you want to be fought: Am I allowed to try and set something important on fire?
When in the game you want to be fought: Towards the middle
-

Name: Daetyrnis
Weapon: Staff, Tome, sorcerer-based things XP
Physical traits: Medium length blond hair, grey eyes, wears mostly red and black
Weapon Based, Magic Based, Both: Magic
Magic Element Affiliation: (as above) Fire / Dark
Why your character is a secret boss: Perhaps opposing views to the main characters. Not like evil, just not on the same side?
What is gained from this boss fight: Perhaps some super magic spell-type reward?
At what point do you want to be fought: Middle / End
EDIT: Might as well provide a charset

Ditto for me. It would be awesome if you included me.
Name: Bedinsis
Weapon: Two-hand axe
Physical traits: Brown-haired, orange and green clothes, visible armor to a certain degree, and a slight larger-than-average mouth
Weapon Based, Magic Based, Both: weapon-based, knows one (1) spell.
Magic Element Affiliation: (Not applicable is weapon based) The only spell "I" know is a low-level water spell.
Why you want to be fought: Mr. Big Bad pays good for terminating trouble-makers.
When in the game you want to be fought: Early.
-
Phayre: If you want, instead of trying to set somethign on fire, I can make your charater set it on fire ^^
Daetyrnis: I've made you the sidequest for getting Eon's upgraded Ability, going from Focus to Unify. Also, I'll be making a Tales Of version of that, so thanks for the reference.
Bedinsis: Congrats, you'll be fought in one fo the early areas, Midno Forest.
-
Yesssssssssssss!!!! Fiiiiiiiiiiiire!!!!!
I can make you a charset if you want.
-
Name: mOoSeTrOoP
Weapon: Antlers
Physical traits: Is a giant moose.
Weapon Based, Magic Based, Both: Holy magic and crushing physical attacks
Magic Element Affiliation: Holy
Why your character is a secret boss: Mooses are too damn cool to be regular bosses, come on
What is gained from this boss fight: Moose antler, a legendary weapon used like a sword
At what point do you want to be fought: Near the end when the party's really strong.
-
Sorry, Moosetroop, but that's not a very good reason to be a secret boss.
-
Name: Demoriel (game_maniac wouldn't fit so well in the game's setting)
Weapon: Stones and pointy sticks, rude words, huge-FF7-like sword (he only pulls it out when he's at 50% HP or something)
Physical traits: He looks like a normal human, but more tall and slender. Long, black hair, funny expression on his face. Doesn't use any armor, just brown and dirty adventurer clothes. He doesn't really look like nothing special until he pulls out his sword.
Weapon Based, Magic Based: Weapon based
Magic Element Affiliation: Not applicable, he knows no spells
Why your character is a secret boss: He's nothing special, he's just a nobody who happened to find a very powerful sword and now thinks he's the best. Your party hears about this really cool place/weapon, and when they arrive they find someone else has already taken it. Maybe they can meet Demoriel somewhere along the adventure before this episode.
What is gained from this boss fight: I'd say either a rare weapon (his weapon for example) or access to a hidden dungeon.
At what point do you want to be fought: Somewhere in the middle of the game. He shouldn't really be relevant to the story anyway.
Side-note: While his HP is 51% or more, he just uses weak attacks and says things like "Shoo, you! Shoo!" or "I'm King of the World, baby!". When he gets to 50% he says something like "Now you're making me mad!" and pulls out his sword, and suddenly he becomes a lot harder.
Feel free to edit anything you want to make it fit your game better.
-
If you wanted a larger reference:

Slightly different clothing by the way.
-
Game_maniac, your character will grant Corona and Luna their ability upgrades, seeing as they're twins.
-
Nice, twins opens the way to infinite possibilities. Like a menage a tr... ok, I'll stop now.
-
I'm already working on if I use one's command, the other uses theirs too.

Secret Boss
Name: Archem
Weapon: Trident, special grenades (stun, flash bang, HE, etc.)
Physical traits: See attached images
Fighting Style: Weapon based attacks, some trident-based magic.
Element: Dark, Electric
Why I'm a boss: I've unintentionally worked my way into a bad situation by stealing something important on accident. Sort of an unintentional foe. I'm a respected member of the forums, and let's face it, if I was a boss, I'd be secret as hell. Try a mention by someone in some town that says someone's stolen something valuable, and leave no word of it anywhere else.
What is gained: My trident (a powerful, electricity or dark or both based melee weapon), and the something I've been accused of stealing, making the hunt for me important.
Where I'm found: Near the middle.
I'm also up for regular boss, if you don't want me to be a secret one. Be sure to give me a quirky, humorous personality that almost makes me seem friendly rather than malicious.
Example 1 (http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/6813/ex1le3.jpg)
Example 2 (http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/8148/ex2bb0.jpg)
Feel lucky, there are two shots in there from my next comic.
-
I'll place you as a regular boss for two reasons, Archem.
A: Because everyone seems to want to be a secret boss.
B: Your character fits with a certain event mid game.
-
Awesome. And, of course everyone wants to be a secret boss! It's secretive! It's special! People talk about the secret ones!
But I'm cool either way, so, whatever. Ha!
-
I'm working on your charcter first, since he seems like he'll be pretty easy, with no hair and everything.
-
Corrected the hair color. It was wrong. I'm not sure why. I was probably doing three things at once again. Bad Phayre.
-
Ayoth, you'd be a good tutorial boss. Reason is because Ryokotsu hates Dragons ^^
-
Name: Mosh the Envoy of Fire
Weapon: claws, teath, fire breath. He is a dragon
Physical traits: A black dragon
Weapon Based, Magic Based, Both: Dragon do the math

When in the game you want to be fought: I don't Care
Template for Secret Boss:

Why your character is a secret boss: Master of Mosh the Envoy of Fire
What is gained from this boss fight: I don't care
At what point do you want to be fought: I don't care
these are my mmo's character and his mount, Van is the leader of the Fallen Ones, the 4 most powerfull players in the game.
Knights of Armingdale website (http://www.knightsofarmingdale.tk)
(I did not read all of the posts)
-
One or the other. Not both
-
Name : Cerebus ( Full name : Reinhard von Hindenburg )
Weapon Based - Use no magic
Physical traits : See image

Weapons : Thorn ( his Poisonous Sword )

Incomplete M-4 ( see image to see what I mean by incomplete ) with Poisonous Bullet

Toxic gases
Why you want to be fought: Cerebus is one of the main leader of a not so good empire. Well, that is if there is an empire... if there is none, anything similiar to this.
When in the game you want to be fought: Mostly near the end.
-
Eh, not enough real detail
-
You mean the reason to be fought?
-
Yeah. Put some thought into it, please. These are supposed to be living people.
-
Don't really know the story of your game too well, so i dont know if this will fit the story at all, so you can make him either a secret boss or normal one, whatever works best.
If you would like to be a boss or a secret boss and play a large roll in my game, here's how.
Follow this template if you want to be a story boss:
Name: Zesher
Weapon: Claws
Physical traits (I.E. clothes and hait with any physical features such as scars): He's a dragon :p I got a charset and monster graphic for him, but anyways, he's red, bipedal, wears sholder armor, leg armor, grievs, and gauntlets, all of his armor is gold, except his sholder armor which the part the covers his body is black with a ruby in the middle, the parts that go over the sholders are gold. His horns and claws are black. He is very quick and slender. He doesn't have any wings anymore, but his armour has notches in his back where they used to be.
Weapon Based, Magic Based, Both: Weapon mainly, also uses breath attacks, but no 'magic'.
Magic Element Affiliation: Fire
Why you want to be fought: Zesher is crazy, well not really, but kinda. He's grown to hate humans, and well pretty much everything. Its cuz some humans pretty much ruined his life. When he was younger, he lived with his clan, and they pretty much kept to themselves. One day though, they were ambushed by dragon slayers, they killed everyone he knew for money, and they injured him (including cutting off his wings) and left him to die. Like I said, he hates everything, his hate gives him power. And he destroys and burns anything on a whim if he even gets slightly offended. Basically he was turned into a blood thirsy monster. He doesn't belong to any nation, but often works with one organization or another for money, though he can't really be trusted by anyone.
When in the game you want to be fought: Doesn't really matter, however you can fit him in the game.
Why he could be a secret boss: His bloodthirsty rage might not fit with the story all that well, but he basically could fit into any situation. A town being attacked, merchanants disapearing in the wilderness, herds of cows being eaten, anything like that.
What could be gained if he was a secret boss: Tribute from whoever was being tourmented by Zesher. His armour is also very tough. High EXP. Maybe if you don't want him to die, you could summon him in later battles to do some damage to the enemies, or he could become an ally (non playable) that could help your party in some future predicament or side quest. Whatever you want.

You have to reverse these images for him to be a monster. I don't know which one will be best for a battle, but their both from an rmxp charset I made, just differant walking poses.

I'm not important to Charas, or anything really, but I'd like to be a boss.
Name: Deschain
Weapon: Two Daggers
Physical traits (I.E. clothes and hair with any physical features such as scars): Blue hair, green cloak that covers whole body, red eyes
Weapon Based, Magic Based, Both: Weapon based, with a few magic attacks like fire and darkness themed. Also, vampirism-esque abilities (Blood Drain and the like)
Magic Element Affiliation: (Not applicable is weapon based): Fire and darkness
Why you want to be fought: Because I'm going to kill someone important to the hero.
When in the game you want to be fought: Meh... Mid to late, I suppose. I mean, how often do fight a vampire assassin?
For his personality, Deschain should be kind of silent, a bit rude and haughty, and basically have a better-than-you mentality. He should also act like killing his target is a waste of time, as well as fighting the hero.
Here's the sprite, he's the one labeled Alex.

I see...
Uhm, I'll try to find a good reason for him to be fought, then... but I'll wait 'til I know more about your game... or until it's too late and all spots have been filled.
-
DragonBlaze, you;ve just given me the hardest Special Boss Fight in the game.
This boss will have multiple stages, from Docile, to Rage, to Berserker, each adding new attacks. As well, he is the one who will give Ryokotsu his ability upgrade from Jump to Soar, and, as an added bonus, he gains the skill Zesher - Flara Omegan, the ultimate Dragoon Technique, a summon.
Deschain: I added you as a boss, as your charcater can be the one who...does something bad. Can't say what, we have no spoiler tags....I think. So you can play a pivitol role as well.
-
This is cool
Name: Shadow
Weapon: twin swords
Physical traits Red hair, red cloathes,red eyes
Weapon Based, Magic Based, Both: mainly physical but with a bit of dark magic
Magic Element Affiliation: Dark
Why you want to be fought: had a grudge against the main character because he humilitated him as a child so he out for revenge
When in the game you want to be fought: A few times if possible like an on coming rival if not towards the middle
i dont mind if im a sercret boss or not doesnt matter.
thanks
-
Okay, nevermind Cerebus, I guess he wouldn't fit very well with your story. Here's another one of my character :
Name : Sypher Vanhorn
Weapon : Vanhorn ( his Trident-looking Shadowy spear )
Class : Dragoon
Physical traits / Short description : Sypher is 57 years old, but he's as nimble as when he was 20. His armor is all black, he has a black cloak with a red interior, his helm has a Red-eyed-dragon-face visor covering all his face. Under his helm ( which he sometime removes ) he has short white hair and a mustache. His right eye is missing and has a scar over it ( doesn't really affect his vision, though ). His skin is quite tanned. I think that's all for it.
Personnality : Sypher is polite, but stubborn. He's loyal... to himself. He has honor, as he wouldn't kill people for no real reason ( ex : If someone try to prevent him from achieving his goal, he'll try to talk before fighting. May only weaken his enemies, if they're not so much of a nuisance ). Even though he's on the evil side, his intentions are not totally for evil purposes ( I don't know what they could be, though... guess I'll have to know a bit more of the story ).
Weapon / Magic Based : Both, but mainly weapon
Magic Element Affiliation: Shadow
Why you want to be fought : Well, I guess anything related to the Phoenix. I'm not quite sure, since I don't know everything about the story and all...
When in the game you want to be fought: Mostly near the end.
-
Sypher would make a good martyr (enemy who's good and sacrifices his life for the party).
Yhtomitsu, I already have a recurring boss, but I can toss you in as it's vessel.
-
Name:Shifterius
Weapon:Iron Longsword
Physical traits :Pink wings, robot body, blue/light blue armor
Weapon Based, Magic Based, Both:Weapon based, but can shape into other monsters, animals.
Why you want to be fought:
When in the game you want to be fought: When the hero is on a quest.
Here's a pic:
-
May as well join in. Sounds fun.
Name: Dragonium.
Weapon: Slayer Blade (Large two-handed sword that causes heavy damage to Dragons).
Physical traits: Steel plate armour, long crimson hair, may wear a helmet in the shape of a Dragon's skull (doesn't always wear it, maybe he could wear it to start and remove it during the battle.
Weapon Based, Magic Based, Both: Completely weapon based. Never uses magic.
Magic Element Affiliation: N/A (No magic whatsoever).
Why your character is a secret boss: Dragonium takes his DragonSlaying job very seriously (He's part of an underground organisation, the Slayers' Circle, trying to eradicate all Dragons). The party encounters a Dragon, but before they can fight it, Dragonium appears and slays it. Ryokotsu, being that he hates Dragons, says to Dragonium that he could have handled the situation. Dragonium, however, is hateful of adventurers who think they can take on Dragons, so attacks the party to get them to leave.
What is gained from this boss fight: Dragonium flees after losing, and drops his Slayer Blade, his two-handed blade that is very effective against Dragonkind.
At what point do you want to be fought: Middle/end.
Side-note: It'd be preferable if this was an optional side-quest rather than a part of the storyline.
Hope that's okay.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, I have sprites for Dragonium, but they're MIA at the moment, so when I find them I'll let you have them if you want them.
-
Wow, even included the characters in the description.
Dragonium, you're in.
Martiz, you have no description, you're out.

Sweet, I have storyline importance! Oh, and I forgot to include the face I use with the sprite, do you want that, too? It could help, I haven't been able to find a better match yet.
-
Deschain, I actually just finished your sprite.
See?

Normal Boss
Name:Higor
Weapon:One-handed sword(Tyrfing)
Physical traits (I.E. clothes and hait with any physical features such as scars):See the example at the bottom
Weapon Based, Magic Based, Both:dark/shadow
Magic Element Affiliation: (Not applicable is weapon based)dark/shadow
Why you want to be fought:Because if i live,the world will end.
When in the game you want to be fought:about middle to end
tyrfing and my charset example
(http://tektek.org/avatar/837266)
I'm waiting!Put me in,or the world never will be the same!(especially for the bad english)
If you can't make a sword like tyrfing,put other sword at your choice.
-
Your reason for being a secret boss is stupid. Remember this game is based on characters other than yourself.
-
Well...i'm trying to be a BOSS,don't a secret boss...
Well,can this reason be better?
I wanna kick these who win the fame for just kill some little monsters.Fight ME!I'm a big one,boy!
Or this:
It was a rainy day...there were about none people alive in the streets of the calm city...a guy cloacked in a black cape is destroying the little city,no reason know...a guy with a sword and a shield runned over him and started attacking him.The little people alive heared a big CLASH sound on the city.The guy stayed about dead on the ground.The man disappeared in the shadows...
That man was me.
I think the second is better,no?
-
Both of them are already used in the story.
-
(Secret Boss)
Name: Warxe
Weapon: Roto-Shield (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v221/odinthegreat1/RotoShield.png). The Roto-Shield provides both offense and defense, and is enchanted to resist most forms of offensive energy (including magic)
Looks like this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v221/odinthegreat1/NewWarxe.png)
(note that the Roto-Shield sprite is to scale with the Warxe sprite)
Weapon Based, Magic Based, Both: Favours magic over weapons
Magic Element Affiliation: Ice/Cold
Why your character is a secret boss:
Warxe is a sailor of the stars who travels throughout the universe at his own leisure. His goal: to record information on various inhabited worlds into a cosmic tome called the PhoenixBlade Encyclopedia. As such, he descends to the planet to collect a detailed history of the world. But doing this arouses the suspicion of the protagonists, who wonder if he has a sinister motive - but when he is confronted by the heroes, his goal is revealed to be more benign. He does, however, want to gather some data on the fighting techniques of the planet's inhabitants, so he offers to have a duel with the party.
What is gained from this boss fight: Warxe gives the heroes a powerful Ice technique/spell called Cryogenesis, which creates several Ice Golems to attack the enemies. He also records the protagonists in his Encyclopedia, which ensures that they'll be known throughout the universe.
At what point do you want to be fought: Near the end - probably right before the heroes head to the antagonist's lair to finish it. I do imagine it as a sidequest, though - perhaps you see Warxe a few times throughout the game, but only confront him at the end. It's your call.
-
Wow, I like the idea...Think you could provide the animation for Cryogenesis?
-
Name: Calzidan
Weapon: Twin Blades
Physical traits: Tall, elven character; long, golden hair; burn marks
Weapon Based, Magic Based, Both: Both
Magic Element Affiliation: Fire
Why you want to be fought: After a disastrous experience with the Phoenix years ago (giving him his burns described above), Calzidan wanders the forest in a near-insane state; believes himself to be the Phoenix protector; thinks the party is going to harm the Phoenix [not a great reason, but it's all I could come up with]
When in the game you want to be fought: Beginning to middle; perhaps a recurring boss
-
That's actually a good reason. I'll put him before his the party's first meeting with the Phoenix.
-
Name: Blake Hinton
Weapon: Dual Katars (like on Diablo 2) I could provide picture if need be
Physical traits (I.E. clothes and hait with any physical features such as scars): Clothing is very miminalistic, straight gray body suit, with a red scarf to cover most of his face. X-type scar over left eye, and that eye is white, nearly blind in that eye but still able to kill efficently.
Weapon Based, Magic Based, Both: Weapon based
Magic Element Affiliation: (Not applicable is weapon based)--N/A
Why your character is a secret boss:Blake wanders aimlessly, battling any who come in to his path. He decimates just about anyone, cannot stand someone who uses magic. He himself doesn't even use it, he would rather die then have himself healed. And maybe so would the person who ever thought to heal him.
He attacks the group in a random battle as they traverse through wooded areas. He can show up at anytime, kinda like Yuffi from FFVII. Is that her name..... it has slipped my mine for now. But as I was saying, he can attack anytime the group enters or exits a forest. If magic is used during battle he will target that person for a critical hit.
When in the game you want to be fought: Anywhere you see fit.
If you don't see this as a secret boss just make it a regular boss instead. Same story should apply for either case.
-
thanks for putting me in let me know when you got a demo out
-
WARNING! ONLY ONE MORE SPOT OPEN!!!

Why your character is a secret boss: Dragonium takes his DragonSlaying job very seriously (He's part of an underground organisation, the Slayers' Circle, trying to eradicate all Dragons).

What is gained from this boss fight: Dragonium flees after losing, and drops his Slayer Blade, his two-handed blade that is very effective against Dragonkind.
At what point do you want to be fought: Middle/end.
Grr, I hate dragon slayers. :dry: On a side note though, since my character is a dragon who got his clan slain by dragon slayers, and dragonium is a dragon slayer who drops a blade effective agains Dragons, it might be cool to tie our two characters/stories together somehow :jumpin:
-
Do I detect plot-weaving from an outside source?
-
Already intended plot weaving, they are doing.
The specifics, only I know ^^
-
Dont know if you still have a spot left but...
Name: Ivan Prowler
Weapon: Vulpine saber. Looks like a single edged broadsword, but its orange with a white tip much like a foxes tail.
Physical traits: A lean teenage foxboy. Yellow hair and eyes with a tail and ears matching the basic pattern of a red
fox.
Clothing:
Baggy pants and a tanktop, both black with a flame pattern on the bottom.
Weapon Based/Magic Based:
While he's adapt at both, his best attacks are melee combat spells. Of course its really up to you. ^^
Magic Element Affiliation:
Flames or Solar.
Why you want to be fought:
Since Ivan is a average hero architype he would probably only be fought due to a mistaken identity or some odd mishap. A possible use would be getting to a treasure in a area before the heroes, by sheer coincidence, and is fought even though he trys to give it to them. Of course it really depends on the story...
When in the game you want to be fought:
After the above explenation probaly mid to late game when the heroes have fought quite a few bosses and just start to assume that a person at the back of a cave means a boss.
Personality:
Ivan's really just at the wrong place at the wrong time. He really trys to avoid fighting and only try's to protect the weak. He also refuses to kill, but is fairly strong.
If you beat him he would give you what ever item you where looking for in the first place, and some type of HP recovering equipment
Maybe you can use him somewhere if you need some quick laughs. I'll add an custom sheet to show you what he looks like.
