>>55796921Scrapped character concepts from the Alexverse
>Andrew Zorn SlyiverThis was intended to be the megalomaniac despot counterpart to Alex's individualist egoism. He was your stereotypical psycho twink crossed with the evil businessman trope. Your typical "I will use my money to take over the world" type of nigga. Where he differed from Alex is a complete lack of nuance, more akin to Hemlock's kind of pure villainy. The idea behind him is that the stakes rise gradually from Act 4 onwards, with a secret war developing between his mercernaries and Heriot Security Services and culminating in him trying to sabotage the World Coronation Series and take Eternatus from Rose. He was scrapped for being too cliche, as well as being too similar to Tesoro and Hemlock.
>Darius "Sideburns" BurnsworthMuch like how the evil king was born from the question, "What if Far Cry had Pokemon in it?", this guy was born from the question "What if Payday had Pokemon in it?". His main purpose would be just action filler of crazy heists with his crew. He was scrapped for lacking depth and not having anywhere to go with his story. He may be reworked into a member of Hubert/Sam's mafia, however.
>Alyssa WilliamsThe fifth member of Hubert/Sam's mafia and its only female member. Her main purpose would be to serve as a roadblock throwing both a Mega Mawile and Tinkaton at him, pushing him to his limit because he has no reliable way of countering them effectively, forcing him to just brute force his way through them with neutral attacks. She was scrapped because I don't know how to good write female characters, she had a "dominant woman" archetype similar to Phos, not to mention the crop top, and we also already have enough Mawlie users. I've committed to writing only prominent male characters, with the sole exception of Alex's mother, out of fear of accidentally writing coombait.
>Damian ThorneThis guy was supposed to hold much closer to Alex's original "opposite N", a poor lone wolf.
