To create our own characters we picked two differnt concepts at random to mash up to drive our designs, my draw was CYBORG and MUTANT. Im considering this as a gift as the two concepts fit under the same umbrella in a way. They both exist within the sci-fi genre in alien creature design and futuristic technology.
Google Definitions:
Cyborg:
'A fictional or hypothetical person whose physical abilities become superhuman by mechanical elements built into the body'
*does a cyborg have to be human??... Mutant Cyborg :)
Mutant:
'Noun: A mutant form.'
'Adjective: Resulting from or showing the effect of mutation: "a mutant gene"
Options: A Mutated Cyborg or A Cyborg Mutant

Hi Kay,
ReplyDeleteI think the genres do fit together well. This does mean that its been explored elsewhere, so the trick is to create a particularly interesting and distinctive world and characters.
