Potential Playby Change - Feedback Needed!

[Darth Hashira]

I recently made a major reconstruction of my writer account: [member="Adrian Kadar"] and I'm now considering doing something for Hashira. Unfortunately there isn't a ton of source material for Aku and he's kind of worn off. I'm considering several characters as a replacement and even working this change into his character arc. I'm open to suggestions so PLEASE send me some, even if you think its silly. Currently the leaders for the change are:

Ganon

Spoiler

Haven't decided which style yet, also having a tough time finding good PNGs (!) for him.

Akuma

Spoiler

Probably the front runner, plenty of source material and a great look (red hair). Would have to change fighting style though.

M. Bison

Spoiler

Not super crazy about Bison here, but there is plenty of source material. Would probably transition into a sith general type. I think once I got started with him, I would enjoy it.

Herr Starr

Spoiler

Definitely ''looks'' the most similar to the personality of Hashira.

Should I change? Which one looks the best? Do you have a better choice, feel free to throw in your opinions below.

Honestly the Aku playby is dope. I'd stick with it to be honest.

Aku is still pretty good, but if you're going to change then I do like the look of Akuma

I really like the Aku, i'd stick with it if i was you!

I personally think Aku is a pretty good playby! Whilst in my opinion he doesn't have too many good gifs, he does have solid artwork, like this one which is an absolute menace, or this one which has a more realistic approach, which can be seen as good or bad. Good in the sense that he looks pretty scary, bad because Aku needs flames. In general, Aku's pretty good for a Massassi.

If you really feel like you'd be more inspired to write with the character if you switch the playby, I'd suggest something different from your previous examples. (I've only skimmed through your bio) Since he's a Mutated Massassi, they all look a bit too human IMO. I've always thought that the Witch King of Angmar (Lord of the Rings) suit the Massassi to a certain extent. The helmet just kind of makes sense to me. It's menacing, bound to cause fear to those who are bound to face him - but the protrusions in the helmet neatly symbolises one of the main characteristics of the Massassi without making it overly obvious, which is the growths they have on their head (and back, ofcourse). THIS is badassery.

TL;DR: Aku's dope, but if you want to switch up, the Witch King of Angmar is an unique (and solid) option. No matter what you go for, it'll look great. ^_^

I'm with all my lovely peeps. Aku is amazing still. And it fits your character so well.
