Pangaea Agency: Chi Hayabusa Design Adjustments

Share

Chiyoko Hayabusa and the Pangaea Agency = @KobaltSteel

A slight redesign of one of the other main characters in Pangaea Agency, Chiyoko "Chi" Hayabusa, which coincides with a personality change for her. I felt that Chi's design was too complicated, missing certain design themes that Kent and Toci had, and wouldn't really be practical for the game, so I made some design adjustments to make sure she fits with the other two


This includes simplifying her Kimono to being a plain green one w/ yellow borders, making her Ronin hat green instead of brown, and replacing her tall sandals with simple yellow straw sandals; I also am considering giving her glasses, which would coincide with that personality change I mentioned


What is this personality change? I'm not wholly sure yet, but I felt that the old Chi didn't really fit the team dynamic I wanted for the game; she served the mechanical purpose of being the "air" character in the face of Toci = earth and Kent = water, but in terms of the story and characters, Chi was turning out more like a background character, despite being one of the main characters... and I need her to be a main character with a personality that is as dynamic as the other two and she can interact with the others as much as they can with her. Part of why she seems like a background character is because I felt she was too similar to Kent Frogs, being a brooding loner type (but with "training and studying" included), which I didn't want...


As such, I decided that the team dynamic would be redesigned as a "beauty, brains, and brawn" dynamic, with Toci being the beauty, Kent being the brawn, and Chi being the brains. This is as far as I really got with her so far, though, but I was currently thinking that she should probably be similar to Revali from BOTW, a pompous and arrogant show-off... but with the added "insufferable genius" thing going on... the only problem is, I still fear she is too similar to Kent, so I need to do more work on this...
