Eeyore - Character Concept Project

Disclaimer: This and future concepts will not and will never include Red Skills


Oh I wish I hadn’t been so busy on Friday, otherwise I would’ve been able to post this before the patch notes >.< I only had to touch up a few places in a Friendship, write a summary and ending notes, and then it would’ve been ready to post.

Sigh.

I’m suuuper salty, but c’est la vie, that’s how the cookie crumbles etc.; I’m still proud with what I was able to come up with

I still hope you guys enjoy this 38 page concept :smiley:

Especially you @Monarch_Mummy_V

Please excuse some of the now outdated sentences below.

Please also excuse some of the wonky formatting; unfortunately, the formatting on this site doesn’t allow me to copy over the neat formatting I did in my Google Docs - a shame, since I was able to almost recreate the Friend Disc screen; not to mention that it didn’t carry over the cropped pictures of Eeyore I had in the Friend Campaigns :upside_down_face: :upside_down_face: :upside_down_face: :upside_down_face: :upside_down_face: :upside_down_face: :upside_down_face: :upside_down_face: :upside_down_face: :upside_down_face: :upside_down_face: :upside_down_face: :upside_down_face: :upside_down_face: :upside_down_face: :upside_down_face: :upside_down_face: :upside_down_face:


After a long hiatus, and in honor of a certain silly old bear coming to the game in the near future, I present to you all:

Eeyore!

\

Character Portrait:

|376.00000000000006x283

Name: Eeyore
Star: :star2:
Role: (Controlling) Tank
Position: Front
Trial Team: Blue
Quote: "It never hurts to keep looking for sunshine.

I wanted to use, “The nicest thing about the rain is that it always stops. Eventually.” but I think Eeyore only said it in the books by A.A. Milne.

Bio: Although he lacks energy and willpower, Eeyore still does his best to provide any support to his allies in whatever way he can.

Eeyore has low Tenacity, meaning he won’t be breaking through ailments sooner anytime soon

Eeyore has decent Reality with low Armor, with pretty good HP.

Eeyore’s energy gain rate is Medium-Slow like Goofy

If you want to shut down Eeyore, Disables and Debuffs are the way to go

Also, there’s something new in the Friendships section :grin:


Movements


Entrance: Eeyore leaves his stick house

Victory: Eeyore cracks a small smile

Defeat: Eeyore slumps down


Skills


White: Down in the Dumps

Passive:

Active:

Bio:

Passive: Instead of having a basic attack, Eeyore grazes, healing himself for 1977 over 3 seconds, increasing his Armor by 816.

The Armor boosts are reset when Down in the Dumps is activated.

Active: Eeyore’s sorrowful mood permeates the battlefield, causing a storm cloud to form over the enemy team. The storm cloud Slows down all enemies by 175% for 8.5 seconds, lowering their Tenacity and Evasion by 50, Sapping them for 4 seconds.

Notes: Eeyore is supposed to be an inversion to Goofy, a counter to Goofy’s White. Goofy speeds his team by 150%, while Eeyore negates that with his 175% slow down

8.5 because I felt that anymore than that would overtake Goofy’s 10 second speed boost.

The Sap comes from the feeling of being burned out, when you’re so emotionally drained that your body feels heavy.

I find it odd that despite Evasion being a stat in the game, it’s not actually seen in the Stats screen. I mean, maybe it does for some characters, but I don’t have all characters upgraded to my current rank of O5-7. If anybody has information on this, feel free to share it

The only other two stats of which I’m pretty sure have yet to be implemented despite being in the game for a long time is Normal and Fantastic Prowess. To my knowledge, no characters as of this time of writing have these stats in their stat screens.


Green: Tail Whip

:sparkles: Fantastic Damage

Bio: Eeyore swings his tail around for 5 seconds, reflecting all projectiles. Reflected projectiles will deal 983 damage in addition to 15% of the original damage the projectile would have caused.

Any enemy that gets close to or attacks Eeyore during Tail Whip will be dealt 1966 damage, in addition to shredding their Reality by 204. and knocking them back.

For every 5 projectiles Eeyore reflects, 2 stacks of Hardy will be granted to his team.

Eeyore will be unable to reflect projectiles if his level is less than 1.

Notes: I felt like it was time to have something unique that wasn’t deflecting AKA nullifying projectiles.

As for the reflected projectile, I was thinking they could use the ball of light that Kida uses when she activates her White, only except color it purple


Blue: Laying Low

|480x257.00000000000006

Bio: Because Eeyore is mostly unnoticeable due to him being a wallflower, enemy attacks have a 60% chance to miss him.

Enemy attacks also have a 10% chance to miss Eeyore’s teammates.

The accuracy drop is less effective against enemies higher than level 41.

Notes: Its original name was Oh Pooh Sticks!, but then I realized that may fit better for Pooh, who’s coming

March 7 Edit: Pooh’s here


Purple: Pin the Tail on the Donkey

|487.59509724770646x300.7459585106383

Animation:

Bio: If Eeyore takes more than 10% of his max HP in a single hit, Eeyore stores 35 percent of the damage and immediately converts it into healing. Eeyore then sighs, Slowing down all enemies by 55% for 4.5 seconds.

Eeyore is unable to convert damage into healing if he is damaged multiple times in a row. Eeyore can only sigh once per hit.

The damage reduction and healing is less effective if Eeyore’s level is less than 41.

If an enemy who is already Slowed gets Slowed again from any source, they will lose 1926 Reality and be Sapped for 2 seconds.

Notes: I couldn’t really find a gif of Eeyore sighing so have Eeyore blowing the candles out on his birthday cake :smiley:

Friendships Forenote


In light of Perblue abandoning stories within every node within a episode, something that disappointed many people, I will be doing my best to pick up the slack

Making these concepts may take more time, but I hope the stories I come up with will make the wait worthwhile.


Friendships


Joy%20(approved)

Joy is one of Eeyore’s friend because it was a request from @Monarch_Mummy_V

Since I’ve never watched Inside Out, only knowing bits and pieces like the ending, I’ll just be providing a brief summary of the story. Also due to the fact that I just wanted to post this ASAP, considering most of my juice went to Alice’s campaign, and the fact that Eeyore was officially announced as a new character coming into the game.

The Campaign would start off with Eeyore at the docks looking at his reflection as he engages in self-deprecation, a call-back to the rain scene at the pond from his birthday movie. Joy would come along, ask him what’s wrong, and try to help Eeyore move through his sadness - to understand it, not necessarily to overcome it.

This first episode, along with all other episodes save for the last one, is raining heavily, with the rain starting to let up as the episodes go on.

Throughout the Campaign, Joy would try to have Eeyore do different activities to help him understand himself better/take his mind off things - she brings him to a grumpy old man’s house to marvel at all the balloons he has amassed (which reminds him of Piglet), she encourages to him write his feelings and thoughts down in a journal, maybe even start reading (which reminds him of Owl), she tries to get him to bake with her, creating a mess in the process (which reminds him of Kanga and Roo), and she, in her sheer excitement, actually manages to wheedle and rope Eeyore into pogo sticking with her (which reminds him of Tigger).

His tail falls off at least once, but Joy is able to nail it back gently with minimal fuss (which reminds him of Christopher Robin).

Throughout the Campaign, Joy would have to continually remind herself to not force Eeyore into being happy, to allow Eeyore to feel whatever it is that he is feeling.

One of the problems Eeyore is struggling with is trying to find a new home in the City, trying to adjust to life in the City, considering that all he’s ever known was the lush countryside of the 100 Acre Wood.

Another problem Eeyore is facing is homesickness, as he misses his friends dearly.

The second to last episode has them playing Pooh Sticks quietly during a time where even patrolling heroes and lurking villains were fast asleep. Both are lost in their memories as they enjoy the silence between them.

Once they’ve had their fill of Pooh Sticks, Eeyore surprises Joy by saying he’d like to walk back to the docks.

Joy pats Eeyore and assures him that his friends are probably still safe back in the 100 Acre Wood. And if they aren’t, somehow being displaced here in the City as well, she could easily have them placed in the heart of Hero Patrol for protection.

She goes on to say that life in the City isn’t so bad after a while once you get used to it, once you get to know the other people here.

The Campaign ends with the rain letting up as Eeyore and Joy watch the sun rise as they sit down at the docks.

The Campaign idea for this was inspired by an old song - Annette Hanshaw - If You Want The Rainbow (You Must Have The Rain) 1928

Allies: Violet, Animal, Olaf

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find Violet’s character portrait. If anybody has it, along with the rest of the heroes who were initially released, could you please share them?

Alice

Alice was chosen as another Friend because of her similarities to Christopher Robin: both are young, imaginative British children who have worlds of their own.

Alice and Eeyore are now Friends!

alice_narrator* Sigh *

alice_narratorSometimes I do wish I could go back to that riverbank and laze against the tree.

|289.6075949367089x196.71428571428572 I wish I could go back to sleeping the hours away in my stick house.

Alice and Eeyore’s Friendship is now Level 2!

alice_narratorGood morning, Eeyore!

|289.6075949367089x196.71428571428572 If it is a good morning, which I doubt.

1 - Alice tries to lift Eeyore’s spirit by suggesting they take a constitutional while the day is still early.

2 - Eeyore only sighs and shakes his weary head.

3 - Perhaps Eeyore would be more open to the idea if he had breakfast, Alice muses.

4 - But what does a donkey eat? Alice has never come across a donkey before.

5 - She’d offer the cookies in her pockets, but her sister always said that sweets were not suitable food for breakfast.

|289.6075949367089x196.71428571428572 There’s no thistles here in the City. They probably don’t grow here at all.

alice_narratorThistles, you say? Hm, I might know a place…

3 - Violets, tulips, tiger lilies…

4 - Pansies, daffodils, and morning glories…

5 - But thistles there were none.

alice_narratorOh dear, maybe they’re out of season.

|289.6075949367089x196.71428571428572 Or maybe the Creeps dug them all up.

alice_narratorFor what purpose would they do that?

|289.6075949367089x196.71428571428572 Those Creeps do whatever tickles their fancy. Reminds me of Tigger.

5 - After shrinking down, The Baker and Anastasia gives Alice a picnic basket filled with freshly baked bread as thanks for getting rid of the Creeps.

alice_narratorMmm! How crunchy! A little drizzle of honey would make this even better.

|289.6075949367089x196.71428571428572 Sounds like what one of my old friends would say. He loved hunny since it would always quell the rumbly in his tummy.

alice_narratorThen, would you like to try some, Eeyore? It’s no thistles, but maybe it’ll quell the rumbly in your tummy.

alice_narratorWhy, today’s your unbirthday, Eeyore!

|289.6075949367089x196.71428571428572 Unbirthday?

alice_narratorWell you see, an unbirthday is like your birthday, except you can celebrate it anyday!

|289.6075949367089x196.71428571428572 I guess that means my unbirthday’s not worth celebrating as much as my actual birthday then.

alice_narratorOh no, your tail’s gone!

|289.6075949367089x196.71428571428572 It was bound to happen sooner or later.

|289.6075949367089x196.71428571428572 I won’t hold my breath for my tail to come back.

alice_narratorWell, you see, Miss, my friend over here’s lost his tail and we were wondering if you’ve seen it.

alice_narratorIt’s about this long, it’s gray, and it has a pink ribbon on it.

|289.6075949367089x196.71428571428572 It’s not much of a tail, but I’m sort of attached to it.

dialogue_sallyA tail? Did it look like this?

alice_narrator* Gasp * That’s it!

dialogue_sallyThe creeps who were here earlier must’ve dropped it. Reattaching your tail won’t take too long, Eeyore.

dialogue_sally* Sew * * Sew * * Sew *

3 - It was something he missed about his friends in the 100 Acre Wood.

4 - How they always included him in whatever activity they were doing that week…

5 - And yet they never expected or forced him to be happy when he was with them, taking him as he was.

alice_narratorI’m terribly sorry, Eeyore. In my quest to make you happy, I never stopped to ask if you * were * happy.

alice_narratorI suppose I just wanted to make you happy since I know how it feels to be sad and alone, lost in a strange new place without any familiarity.

|289.6075949367089x196.71428571428572 That’s alright, Alice. You were very kind and sweet to have tried though.

Ending Notes


I never thought Pooh would come with some friends, let alone Eeyore and Tigger, even though I kept saying to myself, “What if they actually did come? Nahhhh, Pooh will just be a standalone character. And even if he did come with other characters, it would probably be Piglet or Rabbit, or Kanga and Roo, literally anybody but Eeyore and Tigger.”

Goes to show what I know lol

In retrospect, I should’ve seen this coming, since three characters were released around the same time last year, that being the Alice in Wonderland trio.

Well played @Polaris , well played

Fun fact, halfway through development, I toyed around the idea with using Eeyore’s stick house in his moveset, and have something similar to Gerald, Marlin and Nemo’s Passive, but then it became too much off a hassle, not to mention too much of a copycat for my liking, and the fact that I knew I wouldn’t be able to find a gif for Eeyore’s stick house repairing itself.

Whoo…

I guess I really should think critically and mindfully next time. After all, what’s the use in making decisions if you don’t think at all?


Bonus


Here’s an accurate depiction of what went down in my mind, being so self-assured that Eeyore couldn’t possibly be coming to the game

Well… Eeyore is already coming to the game.
