Character Bio detailing information about Vera, a character from the upcoming Indie Game Varminal.

- The most mysterious of the main cast, Vera
comes to Tara and Vyn’s aid early in the story,
saving them from a perilous situation.

- She feels very out of place within
the walls of Bearoo City, the world
as Tara and Vyn know it seems
to be very unfamiliar to her.

-After a chance encounter, something
drives the two to search out for her
to seek answers on why she intervened,
and where she comes from.

-Before she is ready to answer any of their questions, she tasks
the two with an ominous quest, seemingly of great importance.

- What end goal could she possibly have for our heroes...?

The last bio for our main characters is here!
Here's some info about Vera, a masked Minal that certainly seems to stand out among the rest of the cast...

Character Bio describing some background information about Stella, one of the supporting characters of the indie game Varminal.

- A bit of a diva, Stella is a world-class member of the Starlight Guild!

- Duo’d with her instrumentalist, Lune, they are on an endless tour!
Exploring the surrounding area in their downtime whilst the tour bus
sets up, just to give a big concert in the evening, they have stamina for sure!

- A beautiful singing voice, her stage personality is cheery and bubbly,
somewhat similar to Tara's natural state, but off camera, her more bratty
and ruthless personality comes alive, one of the things that has propelled
her into a similar level of guild stardom.

- Sadly, rising stars themselves, Tara and Vyn naturally get in the way of her
efforts, and given a choice, she would rather best the two than to share the
spotlight that she has been accruing over her short successful years, which
leads to her challenging the duo to a fight to prove who's the better team.

- Her Ego definitely needs to be knocked down to size,
having even outgrown Lune’s at this rate!

Character Bio describing some background information about Lune, one of the supporting characters of the indie game Varminal.

- The cool-headed multi-instrumentalist of the touring duo project. Giving a quiet,
lone-wolf energy when on stage, leaving his few words a weight that has his fans
swoon, a real badboy! No need to talk when his music does the talking for him...

- A lot more smug, cocky, self-assured when off stage, but he doesn't quite
fly off the handle like his partner, he keeps himself very well composed.

- Similar to his compositions and melodies, he supports his partner Stella the best he can.

- Enough time with audio engineering has allowed him to come up with
plenty of gadgets to hunt with, amateur but effective tech based on synths,
speakers and more to cause disarray in a battle.

- That -is- what they were intended for, but if say, they needed to get ahead
of some rising rivals, nothing would stop him from employing the same tactics
as he does for monsters, right?

- Lune and Stella have been friends since childhood, and as such Lune has always had
a soft-spot for supporting his friend. Years of playing together in the backyard and
dreams of being bigger naturally lead them both to the idea of joining the guild.

- It is the determination behind Stella's vocal training
that really shifted him into gear, motivating him to
learn to be an instrumentalist.

- They both have an unwavering drive to be famous,
but unlike Stella, Lune does not let it get to him too much.

Another set of bios, probably our wordiest yet - giving some details about Tara and Vyn's unexpected rivals, Stella and Lune!

The museum is done! On to testing!
It was a really fun area to make, with a lot of more experimental ideas in gameplay, art and music.

Character Bio describing some background information about Nova, one of the main supporting characters of the indie game Varminal.

NOVA:

- An extremely proud inventor and mechanic
(and boy will she let you know it), Bearoo City’s finest!

…as long as you’re okay with your consultation meeting being in the city's
sewers. Despite her loud and proud personality, her eccentrism extends
to finding the peace and quiet she needs to create in a strange way.

- Despite the off-vibes she gives, she is extremely happy to aid Tara & Vyn
with a host of gadgets and upgrades, provided they bring the necessary
materials. No need to provide the full cost of labor,
when the duo are doing such a good job advertising her work!

- Besides, some might say having to endure her long-winded self praises
and explanations of her process is the REAL cost of her work...

- Not one to travel, but given the need, Plink allows her to chime in
and communicate when the duo need technical advice.
Definitely saves a trip back to her hideout!

Character Bio describing some background information about Plink, one of the main supporting characters of the indie game Varminal.

PLINK:

- Built by Nova, Plink is her
pride and joy invention, the
assistant of all assistants!

- A high-tech robot in lend to Tara & Vyn, so that he can prove himself as
a capable assistant for any and all situations (and to provide a camera feed
back to his eccentric creator, so that she can watch their journey).

- The crown he's wearing, was awarded to Plink for winning the
"invention of the era award" (...hosted, judged and awarded by Nova herself
of course - who else would be qualified enough?), which in turn has given
him a somewhat undeserved boost of confidence.

- Always happy to give helpful advice and trivia on the area or task at hand,
maybe even a little too much, to Vyn's occasional ire.

- He integrates with some of the Starlight Guild's systems, allowing him
to help in taking track of the duo's inventory, missions, logging info, and so on.

- Plink's standout technology is his ability to transform, restructuring his body
to provide tools for various situations. A trampoline to reach higher areas,
a drill to dig deep underground and travel faster...

- Helpful as a tool, encyclopedia or just a traveling
companion, this jack of all trades is on his own
journey, to also become the master of them all!

Continuing onward with our main cast, here is some information on Plink, the robot accompanying Tara and Vyn on their adventure, and Nova, his eccentric creator!

Character Bio describing some background information about Tara, one of the two main characters of the indie game Varminal.

TARA:

- The one the story starts with!!

- A feisty girl, a tomboy that wants to do things
her own way, forge her own path in life.

- Headstrong to a fault, she follows her
unwavering need to be a hero, exploring the
world with starry eyes and pure optimism!

- She often causes friction by being brash, social
cues tend to fly over her head, as she keeps it
focused on the goal she has set for herself.

- Very sheltered; has mostly spent her childhood
days in her family home reading fairytales, and
tales of heroim up in her room.

- Raised in a cozy house in an otherwise harsh
winter environment, a lifetime of chores to keep
the house as warm as it is has left her with raw
amounts of vigor to be tamed into strength.

- Has read many things about the Starlight Guild
and one day, she decided to leave her home and
apply to show the world and those back home
what she can REALLY be!

Character Bio describing some background information about Vyn, one of the two main characters of the indie game Varminal.

VYN:

- A somewhat mysterious boy, who formed a duo
with Tara in the most unlikely of circumstances.

- Moody, insular and with a biting sarcasm to
every comment he makes, Vyn naturally sets
himself up to be a foil for his partner.

- In the same way her bold personality can
trample through his concerns, his cold, dry
humor can reel her back down to earth. It
often causes some friction between the two,
though he really doesn't mean it to!

- Tall and agile, he doesn't pack the same punch as Tara,
but his decision-making more than makes up for it.
He is able to perform craftier maneuvers with the skillset
he has gained from adapting to his harsh life.

- As for where he comes from... let's just say the place isn't exactly
the friendliest. It exists somewhere through Asteria's desert,
beyond the desolate stretches of old abandoned towns and factories...

- Has a similar strong drive to Tara, even if he doesn’t wear it on his sleeve.
He says he's just partnering up with her for the potential profits, but often
seems a little too eager for that to be the full truth...

With development moving smoother than ever, it’s time for us to finally introduce the main cast of Varminal!

Keep in mind the story is still being developed so some information may be subject to change, nevertheless... here is some info about our main heroes, Tara and Vyn!

A new evolution is slowly approaching! A lot of systems are being redone and created behind the scenes i.e. ratings, sprite reimports for optimization, and a new damage output equation with proper defense and attack stats!
