Thank you, I'll think about it. I feel that the moment when the MC acquires such a suit is a very important point in the story and needs to be approached with great care. For now, I still have time to figure out exactly how this will happen, without resorting to contrived plot devices that would feel out of place.
No worries, it was an interesting read! The suit-as-a-character concept sounds the most logical, and it's probably quite "interesting" to have another person essentially worn on your body. If you make that character not annoying, it could even turn into a decent companion.I would like to share my thought on suit thing as i during gameplay i thought about. Siena being NOX pawn always tries to lure MC with power, even MC is immune to NOX but later on during story he will have to face all those strong dangerous Hybrids where his friends will have very hard time fighting with, so my idea is that Another will give a gift, a tool to help MC, a symbiot which will become his NOX suit, a living thing, as we all prefer Venom like, but i think suit should not look like venom one, but more like Another has its nox shown up, suit where it will run just strands of NOX of MC body which would look like additional muscles, and some areas would get some biger cover to mimic some body armor, like on chest, bit on legs or arms, to protect vital points. Now where Another would get one, idea came is that while Another is on Oneness she is searching those who is going through transformation proces of becoming NOX or new Hybrinds, she is searching ones that is on brink of escaping and becoming peacful hybrinds and she helps them to escape, and maybe she founds a girl, lets say white haired one which is from MC old training squad, and Another feels that she has connection with MC so she helps her, thus she becomes Hybrid but share will to fight NOX gives her new goal and she agrees to help another so she becomes MC suit of strengt. Also she could be like some liquid shape shifting Hybrind type.
Hope i write my mind in corect way to understand what i want to saynot much of a writer . v. .
You described how it would look from Another's side, but I assume Siena's path to obtaining such a hybrid suit would be roughly the same?
I'd be curious to know why that particular impression was formed. Maybe because the surface locations look too devastated?
Hmm, it would be great to hear about those scenes. I'm not a fan of padding text with unnecessary descriptions of every corner of a room or the reflection of light in someone's eyes. Sometimes, I even leave moments without any text so the player can focus completely on the image. So if you have examples - I'll gladly read about them.
It seems this is a rather exciting topic for many. I'll be giving this point special attention, because having such a suit and abilities would not only diversify the story and allow for the implementation of various fetishes but would also be a logical stage in the evolution of the fight against Nox. FerTec already uses Nox-derived materials on some of its operatives, and it's likely people will try to weaponize it. And MC and the hybrids, for example, could become ideal test subjects who, due to their unique traits, could trial various developments.
But yes, I agree that further into the story, MC won't be able to handle everything with firepower alone. So far, the infected are basically just drones; in the very first version, they mindlessly rushed people. In the new one, they can already adapt to their environment and mimic it, and some are now entirely composed of slime, making them only truly destroyable by a very powerful explosion (which is quite hard to pull off in enclosed spaces). More serious specimens could come next—maybe with long-range weapons, strong defenses, special mechanics, and so on.
For now, I see two possibilities to implement a suit for MC: one is a hybrid that acts as "clothing" for the protagonist, and the second is something like body markings that can summon this suit for a limited time. It sounds a bit anime-naïve, but I think it could work. Given that hybrids can comfortably stay in their transformed state, using such a suit would require a certain expenditure of energy. Therefore, MC wouldn't be an unkillable powerhouse and would still have to rely on comrades in some situations. In terms of design, I'm more drawn to biosuits like in Warframe, but more "humanized" versions with only certain elements on the body could also look good.
I think I'll need to make several test renders with different options to see how it would look on the protagonist.
Yes, he himself said she got too carried away. Well, let's just say she was overconfident and thought that since she couldn't be hit, MC had no other options against her. So thank you, I'll be thinking about what could be done for the protagonist to level the playing field in future battles.
