My 6th skin ever.
This is a skin I made for the Boss battle skin contest:
http://www.planetminecraft.com/contests/boss-battle-skin-contest
Short description of the skin:
This character is a poor, homeless ex-miner who turned into a serial killer after an unfortunate incident with an unknown creature deep in the mines. He is traveling from village to village claiming new victims with both stealth and haste.
I wanted to go for a little more realistic approach, as I'm not that experienced or creative. I am also not that big of a fan of too much fantasy and would rather prefer something more original.
Please take these things into consideration before juding the skin and character:
- I was going for more like a mini boss. Not a boss that has too much of an impact on the game, he's a serial killer afterall, he tries to keep hidden and secret.
- The colour of his clothing may appear sort of bland and colourless at first sight, but I wanted to kinda match the colour of the farmer villagers' clothes as he is a serial killer in a village he needs to blend in with the crowds to avoid attention. He is also a poor, homeless man, so he wouldn't really have too much money to spend on fancy clothing anyway.
Story:
He was a poor miner who had gone through some rough times both down in the caves and upon the surface. He lost his family at an early age due to a pleauge striking his hometown. He has since then moved from village to village, mostly living on the streets. If the town was hospitable, they had a miner barracks for people such as him. Mining was a tough profession, you had to be really lucky to gain some real coin. The miners who did good either got themselves their own mines or got to start a new life, outside of the dusty, filthy caves.
Noone really knows when it just twisted for him. He used to be just like all the other miners, but he really never was normal. He was a depressed soul in his dirty brown jacket. He always just sat there in the shadows during breaks, alone. After the breaks most of the miners went in pairs or in groups when mining, but he went alone as usual. The caves were a dangerous place, especially if you were alone. One day it was heard a scream roaming through the caves, he was found in a fetal positon in a dark corner of the cavern. He was sitting there, shaking, whispering something hastily, it sounded like some kind of prayer.
It is still uknown what he encountered back then. Alot of things are still shrouded in mystery.
Not long after the event, he vanished. Never to be heard from again. The only signs remaining after him were his victims, which he would begin haunting after the incident.
In-game concept / idea:
This is how I think he could be worked into the game.
Spawning: When sleeping in or nearby a randomly generated village, there would be a small chance of you waking up in the middle of the night, and the serial killer would spawn nearby. If you're sleeping inside a house he would break the door down like zombies with wooden doors, the diffrence being he could also break down iron doors with his pickaxe.
Drops: Mining supplies like pickaxes, aswell as rare resources such as diamonds, emeralds etc. (I know that he is poor, and he is dropping valuable resources might be abit unrealistic, but it wouldn't feel too rewarding if you put all that effort into defeating him and end up getting nothing from it).
Attacks / Weapons: He would be wearing an iron pickaxe, but would deal abit more damage than a normal pickaxe to increase difficulty and to add to the intensity and desperation of the situation.
Other details: He would have 50 hearths, making him somewhat more difficult to defeat.

Oh, geez. Just had a look at the other contestants. I'll be lucky if I even reach the finals.
They have much more advanced character designs with a wide variation of colours. I can't do that stuff.
I kinda like the more simple look of my entry though, so Imma keep it that way, even though it probably won't do as good, but whatever.
Why am I writing some sort of blog here? I don't know. I just felt like it.
I'll keep the description for all the skin information, it will make it easier to look through then.
