Metalhead Mod collab/brainstorming thread
« on: June 22, 2011, 02:46:44 pm »

 A totally crazy idea was born in the music thread - making a mod that takes place in a crazy awesome world of metal music.

 Ideas:
 Metal civilization with different castes.
 Fighter castes:
 Thrash metalheads. They love fighting, get enraged fast, have a lot of martial trances and superior strenght.
 Death metalheads. They much like thrash metalheads love fighting. They are common and are born in large numbers. Coded to always have black hair. Superior toughness.
 Black metalheads. Different than other fighters, their strenght comes from their immunity to pain. Superior agility. Always have black hair and have white "skin".
 
 Economical castes:
 Power metalheads. They are based of dwarves and have by far superior endurance and toughness. They need alcohol to get through the working day and are a happy bunch.
 Progressive metalheads. Rare. x2 learning speed, but no physical bonuses.
 Doom metalheads. Depressive bunch. Have good endurance.
 
_____________________

 Humans are replaced with rockers, since both with humans and rockers, your opinion may be different.
 Elves are non-metal genres.
 Goblins are nu metal, metalcore, emo and stuff. Twisted images of metal.

 So, collab.

 WORK:
 New Guy - working on Black Metal dwarves.
 Me (tomas1297) - working on materials and small stuff like instruments and toys.
 Angel Of Death - working on poser goblins.

Nu metal like to pick fights and are the rarest.
Metalcore are born in huge amounts and have low intelligence.
Emo are always whiny. Medium in all stats.

Boss castes like effeminate high pitched male and extremely overdressed female, as well as perpetually drunk, singing incapable woman.

Man, this is starting to sound like earthbound.

Should we include new age retro hippies?

Or Brütal Legend Fortress, where there are pine-like forests of leafy spears, skeletal remains of giant petrol engines occur in the mountains and the deer have razor sharp steel antlers.

So, for elves we have;

Folk Elves: Just like vanilla, but they trade banjos and accordions.
Country Elves: Aggressive, but easily depressed, they need booze to be happy.
New Age Elves: Totally pacifistic, they love gems and "rope reed"

What are we missing?

Where does (classic) metal fit in to all of this? They should be the standard rank and file of the dwarves.
Weapons will needed to be modded as well.
Also, I approve of the progressive metal idea, being one myself. Buff them. Buff them moar.

maybe a speed metalhead, that is faster than the rest?


Either way, this will be incredibly funny (and impressive) if done.

Elves need a glam rock caste.

Also, Eddie needs to be a megabeast.

Edit: Also Viking/Folk Metal Dwarves, who specialize in the use of axes, might be cool.

Both humans and goblins should have demon leaders.

Elves could be glam/hair metal, and humans could be punk/rockabilly/goth/emo/crust.

Weapons: Guitars, drumsticks, basses, beer bottles, spiked bracelets, some of the castes would obviously have natural attacks or special skills (vomiting, headbutting, extra kicking skill etc).

I haven't even started making the posers yet. D:

I will when I find out how to properly make castes and give them seperate attributes.
