Final FMP

The key concept of my protagonist was inspired by two animated characters:

• Toph Beifong - Avatar: The Last Airbender (2003)

Known as an earthbender from the beloved animated series, Toph is a blind character who has the ability to use earth/rock based abilities, which is the main feature of my protagonist’s abilities. The abilities of manipulating terrain and controlling rocks is a key element that I want to highlight with my own character.

• Vi - League Of Legends (2010)

Vi is known as “The Piltover Enforcer” in the fictional world of Runeterra from the video game League Of Legends, her abilities are initiated from a powerful gauntlet which she wears as a weapon which has the ability to charge up to deal more devastating blows. 

In combination with the earth based powers from Toph, the idea of using rock formations to form into a gauntlett was my personal twist on the idea. Additionally, this creates an interesting dynamic between the character’s ability and the setting of my animation, which can make it engaging from a viewer’s perspective.
