The artists wanted Lycus to look like a demon, and drew inspiration from Japanese Oni masks. His feral and striking look is hard to miss, accentuated by his pale skin, his filed teeth, big mouth and red eyes. If you play Lycus you will feel as if you just stepped into a Wild West Saloon brawl! Lycus is a good match to the other Raiders who cover roles more focused on long range snipping and support, also pairing very well with Alicia as the team’s vanguard. Lycus favours short-ranged, wide-spread hand cannons and shotguns, trusting his kinetic field to weather the worst of incoming fire while he covers the last few metres for a point-blank shot, or a good old-fashioned punch!
His shocking design demanded an adrenaline-driven gameplay style, getting up close with the enemy in bold and highly risky moves that could make or break a mission -something that can unnerve the other players no end!Īll his mechanics were designed to reinforce that aggressive gaming style. Some even whisper that he cannot be killed, and that his bloody trail can be traced down to old Earth’s XIX Centuries wars.ĭuring his creation, the team iterated different types of weapons and powers for Lycus, but only the most violent, direct combinations really worked for him -it was only fitting to his personality, as if Lycus himself was guiding us through the creative process to end up exactly the way he wanted to be! And rightly so! He was conceived as the ultimate soldier a mercenary who only finds himself at home in the thick of the cruellest battles. Lycus Dion was the first Raider the art and design teams created, and still remains the favourite character for a good number of us.
