Requirements: Nwnv1.69, SoU, and HoTU plus CEPv2.2c3
This prefab contains several suits of armor, helmets, and weapons that can be worn to give the appearance of the famous Mazinger robots from the classic Mazinger anime series and its' spin-offs. This set contains: Mazinger Z, Mazinkaiser, God Mazinger, and Aphrodite A. This set includes a demo module to show you how the armors look in-game, as well as appearance designs for NPC enemies. Included are the complete appearance designs for Dr. Hell, Baron Ashura, Count Brocken, and
Viscount Pygman. The demo features appearances only; stats for actual
villain NPCs have not been considered. Feel free to use as desired.
Also included is an .erf for importing the armor and weapons into your own module's setting. Feel free to use the NPC enemy designs as you wish; they can spice up any anime-style setting with their looks. They do not come on the .erf, but you can export them to it to add to your own module, if you happen to like them as much as the armor and weapons themselves.
Note: I have tried to give the armor and weapons all the powers that the Mazinger robots showed in the manga and anime as closely as was possible, so that a player with (for instance) Mazinkaiser armor, helm and sword will have all of Mazinkaiser's abilities. Likewise for the other Mazingers. These are sure to be a lot of fun to play with! While they may not be giant robots, the idea to have them as suits of combat armor was featured in some of the manga, anime, and video game
spin-offs of Mazinger Z, so it does fit in with the lore of the series.
Hint: You can even add dragon wings to Mazingers in order to simulate the look of an attached Jet Scrander! The demo module includes sripts that let you try out this feature. Take a look in the toolset to see how to set them up in a module. The wings scripting is extremely simple. ;)
- Special thanks to Nexx, for showing that this unique idea could be done by having built the very first Mazinger armors, which inspired my designs. -
I used to have those metal Mazinger Z toys when I was little. The ones that came in the "Shogun Warriors" sets that featured different robots from various Japanese animes. Back then, those were all the rage! ;) Their popularity had waned when Transformers and Gobots came out, though. Around the same time, Voltron and Robotech started becoming popular as well, so many folks just forgot all about the older series like Mazinger Z that, in many ways, pioneered a lot of ideas that were used in those franchises that came later. And speaking of toys that are blasts from the past...
Coming soon to a Neverwinter Vault near you: A large prefab set that will at last fill a request that has been made *probably* a hundred times over the years! Almost a year was spent on the design of over 20+ fully fleshed-out NPC characters, each available with custom stats, armor, weapons, and accessories... as well as a player character based on a certain popular barbarian who also comes with custom items. And, just because... a player soundset for his equally popular twin sister. All in one prefab set that will give players of Nwn the chance to say: "I have the power!". Need I say more? :) It's nearing completion now!
