Sixth Character Announced in the making?

  He kind of is, though. Dodging on pillar Karok is somewhat optional as a lot of attacks can be absorb shocked... which pretty much means he can attack nonstop until an unblockable comes around or he needs to recover stamina. Lann really cannot do this (well, defense stacked spear Lanns can in spin2win if they don't mind losing some health for damage) and Fiona has to stop attacking and take a hit to stamina in order to do this. That doesn't mean Lann and Fiona are worse offensive characters, because they really aren't, just that they play differently.
  
  I'd like to say that Fiona, by guarding, is also kinda different. I'd only really group Lann, scythe Evie and cestus Karok in the same group. Even then they still have their tricks and styles, but that doesn't mean much as it just masks what's really going on when playing those characters.

  Please be Hurk please be Hurk. Great Swords are just so awesome.

  Probably some another overpowered character that's x100 better than Kai, Karok, Fiona, and Evie combined.
  And has the ability to solo every boss within one hit.

  A Milletiant.
  
  In Mabinogi, the Milletiant is the ultimate artist in that while his initial growth is weak, his potential to learn almost any skill is admirable.
  
  Maybe add in a character who can equipped to two different weapon choices and pressing a key will switch to that weapon as well as different abilities are unlocked when said weapon is switched. His weapons may be: Great Sword, Highlander Long Bow, Lance, and Dual War Swords and he can choose which two weapons he wants to actively use in battle (i.e. Highlander Long Bow + Dual War Swords).
  
  He would have weak defense but high hp... oh and to make him OP, let's make him learn parkour!

  Actually, make him a Weaponless weapon master.
  When he has no weapon(at the begining of a mission), he use grab techniques on opponents.
  One of his main skill is "steal weapon"
  That skill permit him to take the opponent weapon (for example in the first mission, the gnolls use axe if I remember correctly.)
  Once he has the opponent weapon, his skills shift toward been skills related to the weapon type. In the case of the example, he would learn axe based skill.
  Unlike other players, his weapon doesn't have a durability and doesn't break after a few hits.
  Anything he pick up become his "weapon" even if it isn't actually a weapon.

  [SPOILER="Spoiler"]Vindi is AU. The same story does not apply. But all things considered I'd be perfectly fine with Vindi taking that Shakespeare nonsense if it meant Mabi didn't have to.[/SPOILER]

  I want a character who uses either:
  a whip (of some sort/ morning star/ ball-and-chain)
  
  or
  
  a polearm. (Which would pretty much be like spear Lann + old staff Evie... me like.)
  
  It's gotta be female though. A butch one, not another almost-loli. o- o (This isn't InuxBokuSS...)
  
  Or howzabout a female character who can use claws/ tonfas/ backwards blades? :3[/SIZE]

  Well, I think it's pretty much confirmed that this character will be female. This is after they considered switching Kai to be female due to fan demand for more female characters. Hopefully it doesn't mean much in terms of how the character fights.

  Fiona isn't particularly girly. I think Evie is the only one who will make a point out of being cute.

  Well, 50%.
  That's not very comforting either way.

  I had this weird dream where Evie had a claw weapon and became a vampire.
  
  And instead of starting out at 100% HP in a mission, started at 1 HP and had to build her HP up from sucking the blood out of enemies (HP pots only did 1/2 of their recovery with her). Like, she had a better version of Life Drain where she could just hold down E to continue stealing HP.
  
  As she gets more HP, her stats get boosted. But at low HP levels she has reduced stats.
  
  And she could do cool stuff like become a phantom that doesn't take damage but can't deal damage, which slowly consumes HP (would cost a mana shield to cast). Or repeatedly chain a short-side Blink after a smash into another smash and short-side Blink (like slip dashing except... with teleporting).
  
  And she could summon her golem, and then possess it. And let the player take control of the golem.
  
  
  
  OK so it all wasn't in a dream but I'd play it.

  No.
  
  No he is not.

  
  
  He really is.
  
  If you play Pillar Karok the same way you would play a Lann or Fiona... you're gonna be a poor Karok.

  What about a character that can do a bit of everything from all the other characters? That way, DevCat can lazily implement pre-existing animations onto another character! ... Ahem...
  
  Being someone that can do everything, there will be no specialties about that character.

  [size="1"]So it's just like Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines, except your blood metre starts at the bottom, you can't lockpick your way into everything, and there's no guns. But instead, you get a nice teleport, and Blood Heal comes with the game, instead of in the official patch. I'm curious. Do they have a chance to resist your attempts to feed?
  
  Sure. Only problem is that Vindictus' vampires happen to (literally) be walking corpses. (Or in this case, walking skeletons. *Cough!*)
  
  While we're on that topic... Do they actually "drink" blood, and it just magically coats their bones with magic that keeps them "up and running"? I doubt it'd actually get to their "veins", if they even have any.[/size]

  [size="1"]...Fiona is kinda like a cross between Cassandra and Patrokolos, (from the Soul Calibur series,) as far as femininity <--> masculinity in fighting styles goes. About half-way, I'd say. I'm looking for a girl who practically is a male, but is still quite female. More masculine than Fiona, less than Lann. (Unless it's like a female Lann, which I'd agree to.) Then my brother might actually play the game.
  
  My idea for a 6th character would be along the lines of dual-claws. (or tonfas/ backwards blades.... I mentioned this in my last post.) Quite different than Karok's Cestus, because the Cestus is only one-handed, and is kinda like a giant knuckle infused with a fancy Blastia. (Blastia = from Tales of Vesperia)
  
  Or a character who uses a polearm (of sorts) and has maybe a buckler on the opposite arm. (or maybe one on both, if they're that amidextrous.)[/size]

  how about a character tat uses flexible weapons weapons (mace/flail, nunchuck, whip, rope dart, meteor hammer)
  before they anounced karok's cestus, i was thinking a good alt weapon for karok would be a meteor hammer that doubles as a reusable chain hook(to make his grapling even more oferfun)
