i am new to RHG and i have a unit idea, with all abilities,weaknesses,story (its not much of a story but its his past). but there's just one problem

im neither an animator or an artist



i can make a basic stick figure character but thats all the art i can do

Download a trial for macromedia flash or get the new pivot.
From there you can practice animation and be able to create a demo.
You can also request a picture from here: http://forums.stickpage.com/showthread.php?36059-Zaix-s-Art-shop!-(Looking-for-artists!) or I could help you with it ;D

Just do not create a thread without either.

Unless you go to wRHG section, you just need to write




I guess.

So let’s asses this, first of all, if you feel as if you cannot draw a good enough picture, request somebody to draw it for you.


This is the funniest typo I have ever seen XD
It's assess.

Quote from LFlL0
Yes, but with "weakness", it means a weakness to his ability. and every RHG can be killed like any other human, otherwise, they would be inmortal .-.


My RHG is immortal. But not to pain. Even if an RHG was invincible to that stuff, the opposing RHG could just pin him down with a blade or by bringing the environment down on his face or something. Immortality doesn't mean he/she can stop ANYTHING that goes his/her way.

wRHG doesn't have much to do with RHG, other than the fact that they use similar systems. You shouldn't go there ONLY because you can't animate, or you're going to quickly get bored with writing and your wRHG will be twiddling his/her thumbs for centuries to come.

Wait, I'm not really familiar with the RHG system, so you mean I shouldn't make a wRHG just because I can't animate?

You should join wRHG only if you actually LIKE to write. There's quite a number of wRHGs in the wRHG section doing absolutely nothing.

i have come up with my RHG soldiers, would any artists care to help make them into existance

hyde is a giant beast, his coloring is dark blue with a single bloodshot eye and corroded teeth, the beast is 3 times the size of a normal stick figure, with three weaknesses, its eye, its back, and the fact that its incredibly slow on movement speed. hit the eye it not only loses vision for a while but it cant cast some spells it has, once your character is on its back consider yourself the victor and just repeatedly stab the beast till he dies

abilities:
basic strength: since hyde is a giant, he has large muscles making him incredibly strong
laser eye: the giant can send out a focused beam out of the single eye he has
earthquake: the giant smashes the ground, sending cracks throughout the ground and rumbling the entire area
minion spawn: the giant can cast 3 small minions that are not only incredibly weak but incredibly dumb, they can be cast rapidly and are meant for cannon fodder
regeneration: the giant regenerates health over time and must not be left alone for long periods of time


jackel is a cannibalistic animal-like human, he is regular size and is colored dark red, he is paired up with hyde as they attempt to defeat all RHG characters, he has 2 weaknesses, silver weaponry and fire.

abilities:
weakness: jackel knows his enemies weak spots and strikes at the spot
dark descent: jackel casts a small spell that blocks the light of day, making the whole area pitch black, only light will allow the enemy to see (hyde can see in the dark too)
incredible speed: jackel due to being part animal has incredible animal speed
razor claws: jackels razor claws allow him to cut through unarmored enemies without trouble
sharp teeth: jackels sharp teeth allow him to bite through thick enemy armors


peace is a turquoise colored human, he is a bit smaller than regular stick figures and is floating in the air and is sitting as if he was meditating, he is paired up with jackel and hyde for the same goal, he has 3 weaknesses darkness and spinal attacks, he is young but his spine is extremely fragile and if it takes one hit he is instantly brought down, and if any dark magic is casted directly towards him he fades into oblivion (force field or no force field, this does not include jackels darkness abililty, peace can see in the dark just like jackel and hyde)

abilities: (while floating and meditating)
force field: peace has a force field around him that can be destroyed by any damage taken, once gone peace stands up and fights (ironically enough)
ice spike: peace rapidly fires ice shards at the enemy, its a basic magical attack
heal: peace can heal all wounds on jackel and hyde instantly, but can only be used once
lightning bolt: a lighting bolt instantly strikes the enemy, can only be cast once and can be dodged if the enemy is fast enough

abilities: (while standing and without his force field)
martial arts expert: peace is an expert at martial arts and can handle any situation
speed: peace is faster than the regular person, hes not faster than jackel though
knowledge: peace is quite knowledgeable about his surroundings and uses them to his advantage

all three of these soldiers compete TOGETHER and each need eachother in a certain level (examples, peace needs jackel and hyde to protect him while meditating and casting spells, jackel needs hyde to back him up while fighting, hyde needs jackel to help keep enemies off his back)

I don't believe you can have multiple RHGs. Also, can you try animating one of them?

Well, it would be best for you to add weaknesses so that they have about the same strength as one RHG, and make sure they compliment each other and amplify/lessen under certain circumstances (like the defeat of one of the members). There are exceptions, it's just that usually having 2 RHGs would be overpowered. A trio for a team is kind of stretch it, though, you'd have to animate four stickmen at once and that's pretty insane if you're a beginner.

hyde the giant's weakness is if anybody hits his eye he loses the spells that come with it for a short while (minions and laser beam)
hyde needs jackel to help him keep the enemies off his back since he cant reach there
hyde needs peace to back up his laser beam and his minions using the light guardian he has
jackels weaknesses are fire at silver weaponry, if any silver weapon hits him he vanishes to oblivion, and he becomes weakened when fire hits him
jackel needs hyde to even out his somewhat weak attacks with hydes extremely strong regular attacks
jackel needs peace to heal his wounds and back jackel up with his ranged spells
peaces weakness is dark magic and spinal attacks, if anything hits his spine when he isnt in the protective force field, he instantly dies, and if dark magic hits him, he fades to oblivion. peaces weaknesses are the most common in enemy attacks
peace needs jackel to hold enemies back
peace needs hyde to defend peace as he casts spells



like every person in RHG i need to learn. i hope help will come to make this trio exist

if one character dies, the whole team can take a heavy toll, hyde needs jackel, jackel needs peace, peace needs hyde

also they kinda dont speak to eachother, i mean peace speaks telepathically to jackel and hyde but they cant speak back, they listen but they dont speak back

if their enemy has all their weaknesses as his attacks, consider every one of these guys dead in less than a minute


and what i plan on doing is practicing on using one stick figure in an animation, then move on to two, then three, then the final four




THIS WILL BE NO EASY TASK IK, but a few years of learning with masters and practicing i can learn
i can draw what they basically look like, but it wont be complete artist material

I also think you should make them unique. Not always a sword

Hey, quick question about RHG's... if we wanted to make an RHG purposefully imitating a cartoon character, would there by anything wrong with that? For a rough example: Gostick instead of Goku.

It would be un-original, but I dont see a problem in it.

Originality is a big point in making an RHG. Keep in mind that all RHGs can't be always original, but originality is what makes your RHG interesting.
