So I was just curious how the majority of people are leaning towards the idea of getting new character heroes. I want to know if you would rather boost the ranks of the factions we already have, bring in a whole new faction, or simply add new heroes that are not tied to anyone per say. With that said I want to throw out a few ideas. Honestly, I do not believe there will be a new faction. As far as new heroes go, I would rather see some new unaffiliated heroes join the mix. I believe this opens the door for much larger variation of heroes, that do not need to be tied to a specific theme. Possible New Factions: 1. Pirate Faction: Pirates who sail in from far away black seas hoping to pillage and conquer. Not really caring about the resource war that is currently taking place. They just want to see the world burn really. These guys would come bearing weapons like Dirks, Sabers, and I would like to see a Metal Anchor tied to a Rope. 2. Undead Faction: I know this sounds a little crazy since it would pretty much ruin the whole theme of the game, but hear me out. This war has been taking place for hundreds of hears. There is so much blood soaked death on the ground. It wouldnt be that far fetched to see the dead rise and take up arms to spread the plague. 3. The Factionless: As I stated before, this seems like the most logical choice for future heroes. Just a compiled group of heroes that have no ties to the three main vikings. Consider them merchanaries who have come from far off lands seeking gold and fame. Some eras I would really like to see make an appearance here is: The Native Americans, The Mongol Warriors, The Spartans, and the Ottoman. I also just wanted to throw in a few joke characters. The chances of these guys ever making it into the game are pretty much slim to none, but it would be pretty cool or fun to see them someday. Keep in mind, this is all in good humor. 1. Yoda/Darth Vader (Star Wars) 2. War/Death (Darksiders) 3. Link (Legend of Zelda) 4. Cloud/Auron (Final Fantasy) 5. Nightmare (Soul Calibur) 6. Afro (Afro Samurai) 7. Zoro (One Piece) 8. Guts (Berserk) 9. Maka Albarn (Soul Eater) 10. Saber (Fate/Stay Night) Feel free to add any comments you like regarding the real portion of the post, or the joke portion if you have more to add. This is mainly for the poll like I stated.. but I figured I might as well throw it all into one. See you on the battlefield.
