Character Design: Duskwing
This character was designed for StarBreak, a 2D Action Platformer MMO game featuring multiple character classes known as "shells." This shell was designed to be fast, melee-oriented, but fragile. She is for skilled players who are willing to take big risks for big rewards.
She is probably my favorite character in StarBreak and from early on I intended for her to be the most popular character to play. This was true for most of StarBreak's lifespan until a combination of rebalancing and the player knowledge base evened out the playing field more.
