HA2 Task 4 - Character Profile

Character Profile:

Mason Hughes: Mason Hughes is a 25 year old DJ in the nightclub Pacha on the party continent of Ibiza. He is very passionate about what he does but is only more passionate about one thing…killing the infected (name undecided) and finding out why this has happened in the first place. Mason wasn’t infected as it was a sound that was produced which mutated the humans into these infected but he has his headphones on which blocked the sound. However nobody turned instantly as there is a delay to make it look like a random outbreak the next day.

Appearance

Mason has a Caucasian skin tone as he is originally from Europe. He is a male, around the height of 6 foot with no defining features such as birth marks, freckles, moles etc…his body type is ectomorph so he will have an average build (nothing too extreme). He will have teal coloured hair which will be medium length, a hat so you will mainly only see the fringe of his hair, his headphones which are constantly over his ears in case the sound is played again to clear up people such as himself, no glasses, no ear or nose piercings but will have snake bite piercings on this lower lip. His jacket and shoes will look basic as they will be able to change (I’ll talk more about that later) but he will have black skinny jeans which you will not be able to change throughout the game. Mason will not wear any jewellery below his head such as rings, chains or bracelets.

Personality

Mason will have a dark sense of humor which will show in his phrases and special moves which he can perform. He is outgoing and doesn't care what anybody else thinks about him, he is courageous and will fight any infected that he sees (big, small, fast, slow or even an evolved/special one). He is dedicated and never gives up on anything so if a mission is failed then this will have a negative effect on him making the mission harder to complete next time and vice versa if he completes the mission 1^st time. He wants to gather as many survivors as possible and take them to safety as he cares about the future of humanity as nobody knows if this has happened all around the world.

Powers

He will not have an powers at the start of the game but can find loot (different shoes and jackets) and depending on the rarity of them it will give him a certain power such as speed, jump and strength and the rarer the item is the less the cool down timer will be to use these powers and the % affect will be much higher.

Skills

There will be two skill trees which will be Survival and Combat. The survival tree will have three branches named Hunger, Health and Agility. The combat tree will have three branches called Ammunition, Finishing moves, Toughness. It will be impossible to complete every branch of both tree because the further you travel down the branches the more skill points that attribute will require (lowest will be 1, highest will be 7) so the player will have to spend their skill points wisely. However you will be able to reset all your skill points and re-spend them in a different way to experiment with each tree and branch in as many ways as possible.
