Loric
Introducing: Loric, The Scrappy Magician!
Hiya, I’m Loric. I’m going to be the greatest magician to ever come out of the Aetherian Junkyard. You can catch me at one of my shows in front of the local tavern. They don’t let me inside anymore. Not after one of my gears miraculously cut through the barkeep’s line of fancy bottles. I much prefer performing out on the cobblestone anyway. I catch much more foot traffic out here. I mean, who needs taverns anyways?
Wait! Where are you going? My next set starts in two minutes. Hold on! Please don’t go! I can pull a rabbit out of my hat!
Huh? Bunbun? What are you doing on my gears? Wait! No! Bad rabbit! …
Loric scavenged his hat and chains from a junkyard at the edge of the Aetherian Forest where the Air Armada dumps their ‘spare parts’.
"Some people say one lemur-sloth’s trash is another Aetherian’s treasure. Or wait… was it the other way around?"
Loric has a lot of moves that allow him to uniquely maneuver around the stage, especially his main gimmick:
Gear. Loric’s Neutral and Up Specials will throw a gear on the stage if there isn’t already one there. This gear can be pulled around by Loric holding or using his Neutral Special again, and Loric can pull himself to the gear by holding or using his Up Special, but watch out: he’ll be temporarily disconnected if he gets attacked. Loric can turn the gear into his vanishing assistant Bunbun for a quick attack with Down Special. The gear can be kicked around by both Loric and his opponent’s attacks.
Loric’s Side Special is a ribbon which he uses to pull himself towards his opponent to quickly close gaps and start or continue combos!
Feedback welcome!
P.S. Art is hard. So much respect for all the other workshoppers and the Aether Studios Team!
