What kind of characters would you like to see in future DOA games?

[Nyte]

I'm not just talking about fighting styles, but characters in general. Like archetypes, personalities, role in the story etc. I didn't see anyone else ask a question like this, so I figured I do it myself. As for the type of characters I'd like to see:

- An agent. Someone who was sent in investigate MIST. She would be the secretive type, being focused on getting the job done above all else. She could use judo, since we've never seen that DOA.

- A non-Japanese ninja. DOA is flooded with ninjas, but you know what it doesn't have? One that isn't from Japan. I think this one would be interesting, as in real life you can find practitioners of ninjutsu in places all over the world. I imagine the character as male, and he could've been involved with DOATEC. His relationship with the other ninjas could be a bit shaky as they may not trust an outsider who knows their secrets, but they could work together.

- A mimic. I'd like to see something like this in DOA. Perhaps the character could be some kind of humonoid robot (most likely a robot girl) who copies the styles of other characters in each fight. It would be interesting to have one in DOA, and not one that just borrows other moves like Honoka.

- Victor Donovan. Need I say anything more? It's time he finally fights himself, after spending all that time in the shadows. He'd likely be an unlockable boss, similar to Alpha-152.

Anyways, what about you guys? I'd like to hear your ideas.

Oh, I like threads like these! I want a new male character who is younger, around Eliot's age. There's actually three kinds I wouldn't mind, I'll use pics for inspiration:

I'd like a male character like Emil most, soft spoken, kind, always apologizing and lacking battle experience but somehow manages to do well while trying to prove himself, someone you actually get the urge to want to protect and have pity on, kinda with a moe type vibe. I can see him having immense or at least decent power and skill but not knowing exactly how to control it and is kind of clumsy?

Another type I'd like is a male like Hotarou, who is always somewhat bored and lacking enthusiasm and drive but being brilliant and talented. He could have a very effective style with potential if he actually chose to take it seriously and use it to full effect. Could be a rival to Eliot due to possible conflicting philosophies.

Final type, someone energetic, determined and always positive and optimistic in even the bleakest situations. I can see a male character like this using like a fast style that has lots if acrobatic and nimble moves and being akin to that of a speedy type character. Maybe an ally or peer to Eliot?

I would like an insane and very agressive female, kind of like Tira and Pyrhha Omega.

 

[Fiend Busa]

Sanji from NG (or even Muramasa!)

An Unknown Ninja (Like the one from the movie Ninja 1 & 2)

Genshin

A Robot type character like Triborg from MKXL

For a female, I would like to see some Assassin type character something similar to Chelsea or Akame in personality from Akame Ga Kill

Chelsea = Honoka + Chrisite (Sweet and innocent looking like Honoka but will deadly like Christie)

Yes, I like Ninjas lol.

 

[Fiend Busa]

Continued...

Akame
Akame = Hayabusa + Honoka (Deadly and straight up, she will kill you with no regrets or hesitation like Hayabusa but is retarded like Honoka (Only when it comes to non combat situation)

Muramasa from NG (Gen Fu got nothing on my boy Muramasa haha xD)

Ok, some ideas that could work on DOA...

A judo based character, not preference for gender, but i think a male judoka would be a cool addition to the series.

A fiend, not exactly a fiend, but not the same as rachel either, like, a humanoid fighter that is pure fiend or more fiend than human. Donovan has done a bunch of stuff with ninjas, i would see him doing research on fiends like other groups did, gameplay wise, would behave more like a beast, having brutal and fast attacks, but not the best deffensive options.

i would also like to see the current main roster(kasumi, ryu, ayane and jobbayate) with their moveset changed a bit, to show that they have, matured, in some ways and progressed.

How about Ishtaros for a fiend from NG?

Or how about a DOA storyline where Hayabusa is turned into a fiend because of Donovan and then we can get a fiend variant of Hayabusa (lol though I think almost everyone would hate this idea xD)

Well, I like Ishtaros, but there are 2 problems there, the first one she being like at least the double of the size of a regular human, and the other, she is dead. And Ryu turning into a fiend is unlikely, since he went there before.

I was thinking of something like.

"Donovan: Hey, what we haven't tried yet"

"Science guy: Well, you know those creatures that almost destroyed the world some years ago, we could do something with them"

"Donovan: yup, sounds about right, starting phase 5"

When has logic ever stopped Team Ninja

God damn. I like this fiend and so I approve.

Fun fact, if Rachel ever became a complete fiend, she would be very similar to that most likely.

 

[WAZAAAAA]

definitely more Kasumi clones

no but real talk, Gene from God Hand

Wasnt that the reason she almost got a whip weapon for sigma? In reference to Ishtaros' tentacle arm?

On topic: I personally would like to see some more non white or asian characters and maybe even a proper non humanoid

Pretty much. Her other Fiend pal looks like Alma so yeah, Rachel looking closely to Ishtaros is already likely as hell since her incomplete Fiend Form looks PRETTY similar to Ishtaros's body markings and what it actually covers.

On Topic:
- A Super Kunoichi type as a female foil to Ryu Hayabusa like how Genshin was to him. She can be an actual neutral member who does things to benefit her clan as a whole.
- An African Commando who works with Donovan for his country.
- A Female(or Male but preferably Female due to Elizabet parallels) Fiend that works with Donovan to open up the Demon World to finish what the Greater Fiends started in NG2.
