Kallista, The Fiery Brawler
"Hell didn’t break me. It just taught me how to punch back."
This is my first character and there are a few visual and gameplay bugs. If you find one I have not listed please comment it below. Thank you!!!
ATTENTION: This character was a test of my abilities to RIG a pixel sprite. Additionally I have never balanced a character so it needs some work.
