Brace The Storm(Corkus Fan concept)

I always disappointed on how Corkus turn out. Not necessary bad but could be better, I always see factory and its mechs stuff just using the same format as corruption and decay but even more worse due to the fact it's the third one and its effect is not strong in concept as the other two. The format I am talking about is like "Oh we have this big thing going on in our land specifically and there is big bad you have to fight" and then when you fight that big bad it just you tone the situation down later deal with it completely. Again factory is not bad but I just feel like it alone is not enough to explore the real potential that Corkus has with its setting allow more compelling and in-depth narrative with antagonists that have actual in-depth goal- Oh wait the Patriots exist and yes they are fucking irrelevant so this post will focus to expand upon them.

Spoiler: The Separatists

The Separatists, also known as the Patriots could been interesting antagonists in the storyline if they were actually being put to good use instead of being mention then and there and only have quest focus on them like ONCE. The goal are pretty well address with them wanting outsiders to be gone and Corkus Island to be PURE corkian society which could be expand and explore upon. I like the idea of them having some understandable reason for their goal but their method are extreme(like having anti-avos community within their group and other crimes). Their rival with the councils also could expand character like Efena and rest of the councils people who feel like have some ground for decent character but they never give a chance to bloom in actual storyline.

Spoiler: Rensa

While Rensa is boring due to him lacking in appearance and unique skin at all which make me having to take a lot of creative liberty with his design. I basically just headcanon my way with Rensa and give him some hint of backstory and character with him once friend with Efena and not necessary hating avos but would harm them if it mean to achieve his goal. I like the idea of him being this charismatic person that convince people through his ideal but his insane method what drove you to stop him and also being racist too, that work. Also I just give him this piston mechanicals arms and electromagic stuff just so he is wroth as a final boss set piece for the storyline.

I also feel like him, the separatist, even the councils can allow Maxie to serve as their foil as he is one of the few characters that you can say has everyone best interest in mind, while other only care about what best for corkians. This also allow Maxie to develop more as characters and giving him more depth which what he desperately need now that we have Aledar and Tasim who are actually more interesting than Maxie is currently.

Spoiler: Separatists Mechs

Just giving the Separatists some machines to fight councils because I can hardly imagine them being a threaten with manpower alone with them seemingly consist with engineer and researchers. Also allow them to have some connection and interaction with factory mechs too because I like the idea of them manipulating the factory mechs to some extent behind the scene and scrapping those mechs to make their own mechs.

Spoiler: Skysplitter

This is more of climax set pieces for a storyline but also serve as a foil to Ava, more specifically her invention. I feel like Ava wanted to see how avos and corkians could work together to make something great and Skysplitter could use itself as a foil to that with being combination of avos and corkians to create weapon of war also maybe destroying this thing might give way for Ava to finally have happy ending, who know.

Spoiler: Factory Mechs

Some design for factory mechs I made as a bonus to set their difference between factory mechs and Separatists mechs

Spoiler: Sharpshooter Redesign

Just like the last expansion with the golems with the Paladin, I decide to redesign one of my archetypes character for this project as well. I always like the idea of corkian serial killer for a while now so I decide to remake Sharpshooter from confusing idea and bland into something more unique and set in tone within wynncraft world with him being hired gun for the Patriots who hunt avos as a hobby.

This project been a lot of works due to the lacking information on the partiots despite of their potential but I still manage t o make this a full project. So maybe next time I might do something little bit more light.

Also everything is sloppily written because I am fucking sleepy

Also here some extra concepts

 

That sharpshooter design is so cool, did they succeed in assassinating Maxie or did they fail? and did the sharpshooter get into some kind of accident which caused them to need a new arm and those arm supports?

 

They did not suceed in assassinating Maxie

I rather leave the reason for the loss of his arm to be vague

Also he has arm support to steady the recoil on the gun
