homunculi idea

[caterpie]

I was hoping to be able to try and make a mod like this, but I have no time or the resources (slow computer) to make this vision.

 

I was hoping to make homunculus mini bosses in the ruins of oblivion and morrowind based on the Full Metal Alchemist series with the same level of difficulty as they are in the show and as powerful. And, if possible, make them a race in case someone wanted to play as one. :P

 

Sorry if this is vague but I am usually a strait to the point type of person.

 

Details:

Homunculus: an artificially created human being without an actual soul, created from the souls of others and consumes them to keep from dying.

Able to spontaneously regenerate to the point of being gods, but uses up the power of the souls they consume in the process. These creatures that look like ordinary people have, like their healing ability, god like abilities linked to a certain key element of their body. Their only flaw, other than needing to consume souls from lacking one, is that they can not use the very magic that created them.

 

examples of these on the show are(sorry to those fans of FMA, but I am using the ones from the show. If you want, go ahead and list the ones from the manga.):

 

Greed:by harnessing the carbon of his body, is able to make an exo skeleton covering his body as hard as diamond

 

 

 

Lust: Quick and agile, able to cut down anything with nail like claws able to cut through most anything.

 

 

Gluttony: Able to consume ANY material and never stop

 

 

Envy: Shape-shifter

 

 

Wrath: Just ordinary super strength

 

 

Pride: Extremely high speed and reflexes

 

 

Sloth: Can turn into a water-like substance and maintain control even when in other liquids.

 

 

P.S. They all have high strength and reflexes, but pride is faster and wrath is stronger. I don't want to copy them all piece by piece, I was just wanting to make something similar to them. And again, SORRY TO THOSE WHO PREFER THE MANGA OVER THE FIRST FMA SERIES, BUT I WATCHED THE SERIES LIKE 20 TIMES IN A ROW BECAUSE OF MY LITTLE BROTHER AND ONLY READ THE MANGA BOOKS ONCE.

Please come back and be more specific, what are these powers? what do they generally look like. Not everyone knows what FMA is.

Everyone should know what FMA is...

 

One of the best manga of all time. (2003 anime was stupid, brotherhood follows the manga at least... except for the start -.- )

[robertkor]

i dont know what it is -.-

FMA :Brotherhood is the only one I've seen. Stupid adult swim.

Homunculi, in theory, could be possible, but not with the powers you suggest. They defy the game's physics.

 

One or two of them hold possibilities though.

 

Greed - A summonable armor.

Lust - Oblivion doesn't support any sort of 'cutting' without something like Deadly Reflex

Gluttony - Oblivion wouldn't support this

Envy - Possibly done with summonable armor as well.

Wrath - Strength = 255?

Pride - Speed & Agility = 255?

Sloth - Impossible in Oblivion

 

Now, while you cannot create these specific ones with ease, a way of creating a homunculus or golem would be interesting and there are some possibilities.

 

Also, for anyone who does not know:

 

FMA = Full Metal Alchemist

 

It's a manga based around two young boys set in a quasi-futuristic setting where alchemy is a viable science.

 

The two main characters, Edward and Alphose Elric, are crippled rather horribly in an attempt to use alchemy to bring their mother back to life. Ed loses an arm and a leg and Al ends up with his body utterly destroyed, but Ed saves him by pinning his soul to a suit of armor.

 

That's about all you need to know that the manga outside of what the OP has mentioned.

FMA = Full Metal Alchemist. 'Twas an anime and manga.

Well, I was thinking of having one look like greed with the exoskeleton only to make it easier on computers with low graphics, have one sorta like a wilo wisp\ghost(basically have a humanoid shape surrounded by the particles of the wisp and have the fade in and out of it. A weight lifter looking one with like random pieces of leather armor and that. And some others, but I was hoping to make one like greed since he is my favorite of the group.

I guess it would have been a better idea to include this to the first pose.

Thank you! However I must disagree, I never checked the manga out but I thought both series' were incredible! Especially Brotherhood

Best anime shows of all time! All I gotta say. And dude, a good idea for a mod. But you may want to put some pics of the homunculi to give modders an idea of what to work with.
