About Mochi

Commonly nicknamed, "General" or "G.I" (for General Idris), under the military he was finally able to make a name for himself and achieve his goals. Being the last surviving member of his military team, he's not used to the silence that their end brought. What's even more jarring is that his new team are way younger than him, high school students at that. Though they have shown themselves to be capable without the help of an adult, he still worries about the implications of their presence and has a duty to stick by them. "How the hell did they get here? Are they really bringing kids into this now?" are the thoughts that cross his mind just by looking at them. It's disappointing, it shows a failure to complete his own mission, but in his eyes, it shows that the once mighty government that he worked for is getting desperate. He'd hate to have to lose them too. Even before marching straight into the alternate realm, he hasn't had anyone to call family. A child who lost both of his parents in war, choosing to fight for what he believed was the truest justice of them all, revenge. Ever since then, it's all he has ever been able to know.  In the alternate realm, new challenges aside from the killers are going to arise, such as working with a team after being alone for what feels like centuries. Will he be able to keep them alive along with himself, or is he going to end up losing another crew of friends on his journey to complete the mission.

Inspirations

Come on, this one is obvious. A sentry gun turned into an android robot girl with blue color scheme... Yeah it's based off Mimi. The name Mochi in itself is actually giving credit to the creator, as their online username is also Mochi. During the playtest, characters in the game kept on roleplaying out that Lucas' care and attention towards his sentry gun was strange since it was a literal firearm engineered out of nowhere. To find out what Lucas' halfway point (5th) perk would be, I thought it would be cool if his sentry could get upgraded to be even better. Now it can talk and be a cutesy little member to the team that also contributes with fights. Now instead of just staying and defending one place, it can move with the party and act as a bodyguard, so the perfect job for a sentry gun!

Behind the Scenes

Idris was never officially tested! Although Mochi was yeah, we never got to unlock him in the playtest before everything went to hell! I've kinda kept him on the backboard for most of the content, since he's kinda that trope that twist villains have. This isn't to say he's a twist villain, no far from it, but they just show up in like the last 15 minutes, start doing backflips or whatever and then bam, end of the movie. He shows up more towards the end of the series which gives him time to breathe and bond with the party rather than the last 15 seconds, but I still feel kinda guilty pulling him out of my ass. He is a pretty cool character, and luckily I was able to continue his character into the post Subliminarity era for the cast, so he still remains a mainstay as a survivor, but he's still considered more in the "ally category" since he wasn't there for the entire journey. Also someone respawning with a full ammo gun and supplies is absolutely insane, but that's another reason why I save him for the end rather than an immediate pick class. Having another damage utility character may not seem like a good thing, but luckily the rest of the DLC characters make up for that, and having someone with Kizen's playstyle but not completely getting rid of his utility is a nice touch. Sometimes going solo can be good, but again, with his attribute I don't want to encourage players to just run and gun as the first thing when the round starts. Oh yeah, overall? uhm... Old military dude stereotype is cool, this'll be the last war he'll have to fight in... Hopefully...
