Bulwark
At a glance: The-Pyre heavy Purger · walking furnace, not a Warden wall-builder · slowest but most durable Pyre avatar, heavy cannon or shotgun · appears in Scourge-Survivors.
Heavy Pyre Purger built to stand in breach pressure longer than anyone should. The old package read was too clean, too white, too close to ordinary sci-fi armor. Bulwark should feel like a walking furnace dragged through a dark-manga siege panel: a human shape under too much scorched metal, carrying enough heat to make the breach blink.
Role
- Allegiance: The-Pyre.
- Function: heavy armor and heavy weapons for Scourge-Survivors.
- Fantasy: walking furnace, not a defensive Warden wall-builder.
Gameplay Read
- Wide silhouette.
- Heavy cannon or shotgun.
- Slowest but most durable Pyre avatar.
Visual Motifs
- Broad scorched plates, skull-thick shoulder mass, and reinforced boots.
- Furnace vents in chest, shoulders, backpack, and forearms.
- Blood-hot red heat scars under blackened armor.
- Bone ceramic panels cracked from repeated breach descents.
- Cautery Cleaver as sidearm, heavy enough to read as a tool for opening bodies and stuck breach doors.
Sprite Brief
- Views: front, side, back.
- Make shoulders and weapon mass obvious.
- Avoid square Warden engineering language; this should still feel Pyre-aggressive.
Art Master
- Status: v01 candidate master attached for review. Strong replacement direction for the current package preview: more original, much dirtier, and clearly Pyre-furnace heavy rather than clean sci-fi armor.
