Character introduction: Ferania

I'm a bit late with writing this blogpost, but here it is.

FYI, I figured it would be a nice idea to introduce a character each week.
In those articles, I'll write about the character itself based on the stuff that's depicted ingame.
Mainly the characters "possible" abilities, the attacks and skills and maybe some other stuff.

I'll also tell you something about the background and personality of the character.

Anyway, lets get started.

Ferania Wolfenstahl is the main heroine of this game, and the first playable character in the game.
(if the others get added to the game via stretch goals on Offbeatr later on, they still need to be unlocked in the game through achievements or events, but I'll cover that in a different blogpost)


Abilities in the game:

She's a good close combat fighting character, though there are stronger ones.
Feranias 3 special unlockable close combat (CC for "close combat") abilities are:

- Smash attack: drops from the air to the ground, and damages foes underneath her
- Dragon punch: like the dragon punch from the PC game "Worms", jump in the air and punch
- Charged up Lightning Fist: does a lot of damage, but consumes a lot of energy, the more energy is being charged up, the more damage does the attack.
This attack can use up all energy in one single attack, and it's probably her strongest attack.
Yet it needs time to charge up, and yeah... it can consume ALL energy.
So you better not miss!


Each character also has a special-attack button, Feranias special attacks are partly ranged.
Feranias regular special attacks are "bullets".
Her 3 unlockable special-attacks (SA for "special attack") abilities are:

- Thunder storm: lightning strikes from above, does AoE damage around her
- Lightning dash: she dashes forward past enemies, and damages everything in her path
- Charged up (lightning?) shot: she shoots a strong charged up "bullet"

She also has another special ability, her "dash" (double tab a direction) is actually an instant teleportation.
(other characters only have a regular dash)


Background and personality:

In the wolfenstahl-universe, Ferania is the first wolf-human that has been created by one of the ten god-creatures (by the Hellwolf).
She was created in order to fight demons and other followers of the Hellwolf, if they go on a rampage.
(the god-creatures don't interfere with the stuff that's happening in the world, so they have substitutes or agents that act on their behalf)
So yeah, she basically fights her own "allies", in order to protect humanity.
And yes, she's actually several thousand years old, as she doesn't age being a demi-god.

She's also the leader of "Team Wolfenstahl".
The other members of that demon-hunter team are Aurora and Chiira.

Personality wise, she's very aggressive and impulsive.
It's also very easy to provoke her, as her pride can easily get into her way.
Ferania is smart, but her impulsive nature can lead her into troubles sometimes.
She's also very righteous, and cares a lot for others.

Since she has a very strong personality, she won't give up easily.
Also she won't submit to anyone willingly.
Ferania takes her job as a demon-hunter serious, and she's doing her job very reliable.

P.S:
Cres's arm injury got a bit worse again, so we didn't make much progress in the past days.
That means the CG animation is only halfway done, and we will still need some time to finish it.
And nope, it's nothing dangerous or so, I don't know the apropriate english term for the injury, but she visited a doctor and hopefully she gets well soon.
