Halkel's Characters and Followers V.1.2

Those taking a peek at this mod, hello. This pack is for my own personal 
modifications and therefore all works here are purely my own. Please do not use, 
modify or change in any way, but do ask if you wish to port my work up in the
off-chance the version becomes irrelevant. I hope you enjoy what I do manage to 
deliver. Anyways, I should explain the characters in this pack.

NOTE: Any option with * next to it is subjected to change in future versions. This
may mean more planned characters for the addon. 

-0. Version History

--1.0.0: Planned release. Unreleased.

--1.0.1: Updated IF's sprites and preferred color from Blue to Brown to follow 
submission guidelines. Former version of this character to be used privately under
the previous alias. Release Version.

--1.0.2: Added Red Eye and Crimson Eye. Fixed IF's positioning sprite.

--1.1.0: Added Ciel and Passy as a Combo. Ciel is now IF's Rival instead of 
Knuckles

-1. Racers

---IF from Hyperdimension Neptunia---

-Voice Files from Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2 and Hyperdimension Neptunia
VII (Read as V-2)
-Color: Brown
-Rivals: Sonic*, Tails*, Ciel*
-Speed: 7
-Weight: 3

During development, I kept IF's weight as 5 originally as I wasn't sure how heavy 
she was compared to available characters. Turns out she's apparently 1kg lighter 
than Knuckles so I went with 2.

---Ciel from Megaman Zero---

-Voice Files from Megaman X DiVE (Yes, she's in that game)
-Color: Magenta
-Rivals: Eggrobo, Aigis, Pulseman
-Speed: 5
-Weight: 2

A character made for my closest friend who likes the Megaman series. No plans for
any other character from the series are planned but we'll see.

---Lean Tuna from Hyperdimension Neptunia---

-Voice Files from a public domain (since I'm not digging through over 200 unnamed
files in VII from Sounds Resource)
-Color: Leather
-Rivals: Chu Chu, Rappy, Flicky
-Speed: 1
-Weight: 2

While making the Kupokitty follower, I thought the follower might be a little tall
for a follower. Instead of scrapping it, I made a variation of it as a racer 
instead (after my friend and closest friend thought so too). Lean Tuna are common
enemies found ingame and could be the series' take on a Moogle (hence Kupo and 
Kitty). A variation of Lean Tuna who ride Horsebirds (a bipedal horse with wings,
sort of like an uno-reverse Chocobo) called Cat Knights, could be a reference to 
the Chocobo-Mog Materia from Final Fantasy 7, leaning more towards the moogle 
reference.

-NOTE- Lean Tuna in Neptunia Sister vs Sister uses the Kupokitty model for some 
reason. While its actual model is used on Squirrel Cat. I'm sure Ruffian Cat looks
more fitting to that name though an enemy called Cat Squirrel Rider exists in
Re;Birth2 and uses the Lean Tuna model too and is likely to reference that. This
enemy exists since Victory, the 3rd game in the series which uses this appearance.

---Compa from Hyperdimension Neptunia---

-Voice Files from a Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk.2, Megadimension Neptunia VII
-Color: Pink
-Rivals: IF, Lean Tuna, Amy Rose
-Speed: 6
-Weight: 3

When making her for another project, she seemed alot easier to me. The sprites
here uses a more symetrical style used in said project with her accessories being
the only thing that doesn't warrant it. Had no complaints with the style when
I shared the original sprites (via screens) from the project to a group.

-2. Followers

---'Nep-Kart' from Superdimension Neptune vs Sega Hard Girls ---

-Category: Neptunia (packaged with PK3)
-Color: Lilac
-Voice from Hyperdimension Neptunia


"They're coming from above! Watch Out!" - Hyperdimension Neptunia

Partnered with the IF kart, Nepkart is a reference to IF's game, Superdimension
Neptune vs Sega Hard Girls. In the game, Neptune survives her world being devoured
by becoming one with IF's Motorcycle, against her will of course as she didn't
welcom her as a tag-along. This follower came from the artwork of the Nep-Bike 
rather than any ingame content where the bike had a bubble with Neptune
inside it pointing at the bike. In this instance, this bubble is constantly 
pointing at the kart. Don't get too annoyed with her, she's only trying to help.

---Red Eye from Sonic and Knuckles---

-Category: Sonic 3K
-Color: Pidgeon
-Sound from Sonic and Knuckles

A bonus follower not actually intended for the pack, but here we are. Modified 
from an already existing Eye follower to resemble the Sonic 3k Death Egg Act 1 
boss. Considering the stage exists, and a similar boss exists too, I'm kinda 
surprised this follower doesn't, but fact it made me dizzy to do the rotations, 
I think I see why.

---Crimson Eye from Sonic Mania---

-Category: Guests
-Color: Silver
-Sound from Sonic & Knuckles

A bonus follower not actually intended for the pack, but here we are. Modified 
from an already existing Eye follower to resemble the Sonic Mania Titanic Monarch
Act 1 boss.

---Passy from Megaman Zero---

-Category: Guests
-Color: Magenta
-Voice from Megaman X DiVE

Partnered with the Ciel kart, Passy is a cyber elf of the Hacker Type seen only
once in the first game. Passy sacrifices herself to revive Zero to help Ciel 
escape. Considering their close bond makes her the perfect character to fit as a
combo.

---Kupokitty from Hyperdimension Neptunia---

-Category: Neptunia (packaged with PK3)
-Color: Violet
-Voice from a public domain (since I'm not digging through over 200 unnamed
files in VII from Sounds Resource)

Partnered with the Lean Tuna kart, Kupokitty was made to test individual wads with
the Neptunia Category implimented to see if errors occur. Kupokitty are pink 
variants of the species and have been around.

-NOTE- Kupokitty in Neptunia Sister vs Sister uses the Viral model for some reason.
(This model was made into its own enemy variant called Meow from Victory onwards)
while Lean Tuna uses the original Kupokitty model. Kupokitty uses this appearance
since it was introduced in mk.2, the second game in the series.

---Warechu from Hyperdimension Neptunia---

-Category: Neptunia (packaged with PK3)
-Color: Nickel
-Voice from Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 2

One of 3 Followers made alongside Compa. Warechu is designed to be treated like 
Froggy as it wasn't intended to be animated for ground use, and I don't think
Warechu would want to chase Compa on its feet. It rather be alive to love Compa
for as long as it can.

---Grabber from Sonic 2---

-Category: S2
-Color: Copper
-SFX from Sonic the Hedgehog 3

One of 3 Followers made alongside Compa. Grabber looms above the players head,
likely hoping to snag them and detonate in the ultimate betrayal. Or Eggman changed 
its programming. We shall never know.


---Warechu's Pedal-Propelled Grabber or 'Compa-Grabber' from Hyperdimension Neptunia---

-Category: Fanworks
-Color: Nickel
-Voice from Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 2

One of 3 Followers made alongside Compa. This is the real intented follower that
fuses both the Grabber and Warechu into a single entity. This is the first follower
I made that uses multiple layers. A prototype of the Compa-Grabber was used in
the same project to reflect Compa as a Tails Substitute (The project is a Sonic
Mania Mod). This is the final design I decided on once I get back into it.

-3. About Future Content

Due to how busy I tend to be, future content will be sort of slow. You don't rush
art and rushing me has caused me to be put off. I am very easily discouraged because 
of several personal reasons, like anxiety of having been abused IRL and online. 
It's difficult for me to do these things, let along upload my work publicly now. 
I do enjoy spriting, don't get me wrong. Spriting is a part of what I strive for, 
and this is a milestone towards this.
