Saucy's Mission
After talking to cafevalet about my reasoning for Saucy's behavior and all the things he does I realised that it was key to understanding Saucy and producing better eye candy xD
Really, Saucy started off as a whim. I saw that sorcerer painting (the first picture) and was just so attracted by it that I had to draw my own less creepy version of it. Howeve, he quickly became more meaningful to me after I started developing him. It all started like this:
Raru: Can he do any magic?
Ping: Uhh Uhhh...... HE CAN MAKE STARS D<
Raru: That's it? xD
Ping: Well, when you have new stars, new planets come about and you get life [if you're lucky] don't ya?
Yeah... The fact he can make stars was really the first thing off the top of my head. The second point was in defense of my claim that he's ultra powerful. I also watched a documentary on the universe, the order of magnitude and the theory of how life on earth came to be (which was super boring) a few days ago too. After that... I had ideas... Loads of ideas.
First thing, he's 15000 years old. I wanted him to be simple minded and dim. Thus representing early lifeforms and their lack of understanding of change. The gurgling and squeaking was theorized as what I think would happen if there was one individual within a species (AKA Saucy's the only one of his kind and there has never been or will be any other individuals like him). Since there is no one else he needs to cmmunicate with, he does not need language. The gurgling and squeaking is just the beginnings of language. It has never advanced or developed and I don't think it will.
Saucy's immortal and he respects life. Personally, if I were immortal, I would hate it. Seeing everyone around you come and go is horrid in my opinion. However, in Saucy's case he is incapable of thinking negatively. He doesn't like seeing friends go away, but it can't be helped (so he accepts it).
The interior for Saucy's shipping container house is strongly based off this game. I dunno if you've ever played it or not, but the scenes are just beautiful. Really, everything looks run down but it's adorned with simple messeges of life (which is why I wanted to put in the stickers), gathered by the survivors who lived there (in the game, you encounter messages left by survivors which died on walls of abandoned malls and stuff). The stickers are supposed to represent Saucy's curiousity, inability to comprehend modern society and child like mind. He likes to collect stickers because they are colourful and fun to play with too.
So Saucy's not just something I like to throw around, he's got heart. A lot of heart ;o
NOW GO FORTH AND MAKE EYECANDY
