Playable Mothfolk: People Parts
So, this happened because … uh, SPOILERS for "Eluna and the Moth" follow … because the "I saved the last dance for you, my Queen" ending was so beautiful.
"How cool would it be," I thought, once I’d dried my tears (I cry a lot), "if you could play through a couple of Ecthis and the Mothman’s imagined adventures? Or, heck, if other Thrixl-affected people began to occasionally turn up as background NPCs?"
So then I made a Playable Mothfolk mod. It’s in two parts: biological details (this one) and augments (posted separately). Elements are a combination of bits I’ve cut, edited, and resized from the existing game art and bits I’ve re-drawn myself using those characters as references.
This package contains:
-2 faces (one based on Ecthis, one on the Mothman), with support for all expressions and the aging process
-1 additional head to represent their sharp-chinned shape
-3 new hairs :
—1 Mothman hat that reflects your chosen outfit colors and hair color (and shadows your face)
—1 wispy short hair with just the feather plumes from the Mothman’s hat
—1 copy of Ecthis’ elegant tendrils that pulls from your outfit colors.
Everything is available to heroes of any gender, and will occasionally pop up on a background NPC (though I’ve done what I can to keep the frequency low-ish). I’ve made the markers of age a little more subtle than they are on standard human heroes, but they are still present and will be added to the model at the standard times.
