Meet Maroc, of the Oaken Clan

Meet the newest character in the RedCat Multiverse, along with our first character

The time has come to reveal another character from the RedCat Multiverse! If you haven’t had a chance, check out the #multiverse-characters and #character-forum channels on our public Discord. This is where you (the peeps) can ask us (the nutjobs they hired) questions about the characters directly, or just talk about the ones you like.

Now it is time to introduce Maroc!

Maroc is from a parallel world where plant life was the first to become sentient and start to use tools. Peaceful and academic, Maroc would become the Rakens’ (the plant people) first multiversal traveler. When Lori (one of our incredible game designers) hit me with her idea to make him a socialite in the setting, I loved the charm. I admit, there’s an homage to the original Ghostbusters in there, because “spores, molds, and fungus” is fun to say.

For his flash fiction, Lori made a note to have him talk to a plant at a party. It didn’t take me long to put him in a room with Wells (see below) and involve a ficus in the conversation. I do love only hearing one half of the conversation, because your imagination fills in what Diego (the ficus) is saying. I’m sure I’ll have the chance to write more of those.

As a collectible, Maroc is an Uncommon Character, which means there will be a good initial supply.

When we launched our website, we announced three characters without fanfare, and we don’t want to leave them out in the cold. There’s only one left, and that’s Wells, the Time Traveler.

Wells is the first character we brought to visuals, which means he’ll always have a soft spot in our hearts. He’s a man of science from Victorian England, very much inspired by HG Wells (if that wasn’t already painfully obvious). I originally wanted him to be into Chaphop, but it’s a really niche style of music and frankly too on-the-nose. I settled for him being into the mathematics of music, like so many great thinkers before him. Wells is also the closest to a “regular person” in our roster, which should tell you something.

I giggled several times while writing the flash fiction. This is a group of gentlemen who are fun to write for, bouncing between seriousness and levity. Bigglesworth is kind of crude when he’s drinking, but I promise you he’s a good guy. I’m sure we’ll hear from Wells' circle of friends in the future.

As a collectible, Wells is also an Uncommon Character, so there will be a good initial supply.

We had a lot of fun making these characters and we hope you like them! Join our Discord to discuss these characters with the rest of our community. https://discord.gg/redcatmultiverse  

Until a time period between one and two weeks, weather permitting,
