Forum » God & Item Ideas » God Idea: Horkos, Punisher of Broken Oaths 5 posts - page 1 of 1

Pantheon: Greek

Class: Warrior

Appearance: Horkos appears as a large muscular demonic-looking figure (as he is a daemon in Greek mythology) with dark grey skin. His face would have two opaque black eyes, a somewhat crushed nose and a prominent underbite with protruding fangs (similar to an orc). His head would have long black hair and a long beard and two ram-like horns protruding from his head. He has a pair demonic tattered wings coming out of his back as well as clawed fingers and toes. His attire consists of a large piece of waist armor with the belt having a demonic skull design and large spiked pauldrons connected by chains. Most of his armor would be black or dark grey in color. His weapon would be an axe made primarily of bone, with the handle being made of a dark metal and having a demonic-skull design at the edge of the handle. When under the effect of Broken Oath mode, Horkos' eyes glow and turn bright orange as well as the eyes on the axe and belt. (In case you haven't notice the demon motif is quite common with him)

Animations:
Intro: Horkos steps out of a dark portal

Out-of-Battle Stance: Horkos stands fully upright and holds his axe in a single hand.

In-Battle Stance: Horkos hunches over and holds his axe in both hands.

Idle 1: Horkos briefly inspects his axe.

Idle 2: Horkos tightly clenches his left hand.

Idle 3: Horkos spins his axe around twice.

Taunt: Horkos slams the hilt of the axe on the ground then points at the enemy.

Backing: Horkos turns around to face the camera, leaps off the ground and flies away reappearing and landing at the base.

Wave: Normal wave

Clap: Normal clap

Dance: Cheesy Disco moves.

Furious: Horkos angrily clenches his left fist and then violently roars.

Victory Animation: Horkos stands with his foot on Denton who briefly struggles before gettign hit on the head with the hilt of Horkos' axe. Horkos then chuckles and looks around until Denton begins to struggle again.

Defeat Animation: Horkos sits looking upset whilst receiving a lecture from Nemesis on "How to be a Proper Vengeance God".

Notes and other stuff: I designed Horkos as essentially a god that can be played two ways. The non-Broken Oath mode gives both Horkos and an allied god of your choice buffed damage and defense and doesn't cause Horkos to take extra damage. On the flipside, Broken Oath mode grants Horkos extra effects on his abilities and increased damage at the cost of taking more damage.

For the sake of convenience, those who don't wish to provide extensive critiquing can simply answer a poll on what you think of this god idea. Extensive critiquing is still fine though and encouraged to help me improve :)

That's something I was kinda worried about but to be honest it's kinda hard to come up with something completely original (Smite itself is guilty of reusing abilities a bit) and at first he was going to be able to do it twice but I figured that was a little broken. Personally I imagined as being more like an Ult version of Hou Yi's Dive Bomb and being much more of a wide sweeping swing rather than a circle of damage.
