Taelinarena: Character: Tophoro

[MaisaMilena]

Hero Description

Tophoro is inspired by the characters Totoro(Studio Ghibli) and Toph(Avatar). His personality reminds Thoph's: he is cute but extremely strong and determined to fight; and his body reminds of Totoro: it's rounded.

Gameplay

He plays a tank, has slow movements(because he is heavy), small attack range, must protect the team and help them to damage the enemies.

Theme

His theme is inspired by Toph (Avatar). Toph is probably the best earth bender. She is blind, which helps her to better feel the earth. She is funny, cute and brave in a fight. Tophoro is also blind and uses his feet and stick to "see" the ground.

It's also inspired by Totoro, a large and forest spirit created by Studio Ghibli. He is kinds of shy but very friendly.

As Tophoro doesn't have a taunt, I would like to suggest he turning into Totoro, something similar to Shao's taunt:

@MaiaVictor and @marcmotta , what do you think?

[MaiaVictor]

Seems like a good idea to me.
