Description

Vivi is an inquisitive, veiled sorcerer with immense knowledge of the natural world and a young man whose origins are shrouded in mystery. He is known to bear knowledge of a long-forgotten past that only a select few recall in the deepest areas of their subconscious. Although considered a laughing stock to Falconreach’s illiterate citizens due to the stories he tells without the need of a manuscript, he is rarely emotional and his skin is thicker than stone. He does, however, open up to those who are willing to listen and be able to understand him. Vivi believes that magic and science are one and the same because he considers magic “a branch of science that nature created while average science is man-made.” To him, both aspects of power make no difference and as a result of his down-to-earth preferences, he has the two coexist harmoniously with one another to tap into his potential as a mage with a fondness of technology. That power and knowledge of the past in addition to the natural world has helped him hold his own against both powerful organic and mechanical enemies alike even going as far as being able to contend with Dr. Voltabolt’s contraptions with little strain. As an ally and a friend to the curious and enlightened, Vivi keeps a mental tab on behavior from other people so he would know who to avoid and watch out for. He is selective of who he share his secrets with, let alone who is willing to take him seriously, however, once he knows who his friends are, he is revealed to be loyal, understanding, and helpful to them. This side of his personality causes him to be one seemingly-anonymous sorcerer to possess a heart of gold.

Vivi’s NPC was designed using a recolored version of the Mage Robes, a blue recolored version of the Red Scarf, and Vivi’s Birthday Hat. The latter is a head item that was available in MechQuest during Vivi’s birthday on a couple of occasions, but it is no longer obtainable as of now. My inclusion of these assets was to create a DragonFable vibe while adding in an allure of mystery because his body is covered in shadow even in broad daylight. I added modifications to the orbs on the robes by adding my own that I made recently as well as designing the Arcane Cube of Kismet, Vivi’s personal weapon. What started out as a simple approach became a learning experience that was nostalgic to me and some players when I had posted my works-in-progress and wrote a caption to advertise MechQuest over the weekend. The amount of love and passion for the game that was expressed in replies to my tweets was touching and it helped me realize furthermore that I am not all alone. Much like the Arcane Cube of Kismet, I gave Vivi his own NPC to thank him for being a good friend by helping me keep my head up in a tough time I went through when I was still new at Flash around two years ago. To this day, it still means a lot to me.
