Commander Torque of the Chasers
Torque is an alien commander from the Chasers which is at war with FP1’s final boss Lord Brevon. He was supposed to be a playable character in a DLC, but the idea was later cancelled.
Torque’s voice actor P.M. Seymour is an Irish descent, so I used Celtic style ornaments, like the triskelion, on his costume to differentiate his culture background from the girls’. His costume also looks more Sci-Fi, because he is supposed to come from a more technogically advanced civilization.
Torque isn’t a bird in the original game, he looks more like a green skin human. I thought he looks out of place when standing next to animal-based girls, so I turned him into a bird.
Tristan is a name related to Ireland from the legends of King Arthur. Here it was used as the name of Torque’s blaster. The elemental pickups in the game were supposed for Torque to change his weapon type. I designed a unique look for the blaster with each element.
