The Third Brother

So, last post I said that Zak and Bro are two of a group of three brothers. Why then, you may be asking,  did I only introduce the first two and ignore the third?

Well, the answer is simple. Ken, the third brother, is NOT a playable character. He's an important character, sure. In fact, he's the single most prominent NPC who helps the playable group out, especially when they find out about the upcoming Elemental Shift. Ken's recurring throughout most of the game once the player first meets him and he's one of the most influential characters in the sense that he gets a lot of the game's main story points rolling.

Ken just never joins the team. Ken is an intellectual, not a fighter. He'd only slow the party down, so instead helps out by being the brains of the operation. I wish I had some sort of artwork for him, but because he doesn't appear in any fights, I clearly haven't done a battle sprite for him. When I get some sketches made up of him (and the others) I'll be sure to post it here.

  1. Wow, I didn't expect this. Why is Ken frail now? Is Ken old or just nerdy? Will he have a nerd rage scene? He's not even playable in the tutorial? Are you pulling a General Leo here?

  2. It was a hard decision to take Ken out if the payable characters, but I think its the right one. and I already have twelve playable characters, having one more is overkill. Oh, and I promise i'm not pulling a "general Leo"
