I'd love to show you all most of my concepts , too, but those are on paper and I'm not in any posistion to scan them right away.
Anywho, today I'll be discussing a bit about HOOD.
As I stated before, the story has been heavily influenced by a lot of media, and a plot device is actually based on fairy tales - namely, the Dolls. Dolls are the weapons the Dollmasters use to fight. Dollmasters use a Dollset - a number of Dolls at their disposal to fight with. A Dollset can be made up of any amount of Dolls, be it 6 dolls, or even just one. Ribbon herself has four Dolls, for example. However, that doesn't guarantee that all Dolls are powerful, or can even fight. There are some Dolls that exist purely for defense, some meant to distract the opponent, etc. However, every Dollmaster has one Doll that is more powerful than their other Dolls, known as the "Persona Doll" (working name, might change it). There is only one Dollmaster who is an exception to this, as she has not one, but three Persona Dolls. However, there's a reason for that, that you will discover later on.
The Persona Doll is usually based off the main character that the Dollmaster's Dollset is based off of. For example, Ribbon's Dollset is based on the story of Red Riding Hood. Therefore, her Persona Doll is based on Riding Hood herself, and aptly named as such. The Persona Doll reflects the Dollmaster in appearance, abilities, desires or personality - there's always a link to the true self.
As it stands, some of the Dollsets that I've planned out include:
- Little Red Riding Hood
- Thumbelina
- Beauty and the Beast
- Baba Yaga
The designs are still in process. A lot of the Persona Dolls, however, have been designed. I'll leave you with concept art I made quite some time ago of Ribbon's Persona Doll. The design remains virtually the same, even now.
