Cheetah Class Mod

Description
Features:
-A new class, the Cheetah, made with Catsockjus's Leopard skin that was made for Xelsword's Shieldbreaker replacer
-This class focuses on speed, positioning, speed, marking, and speed.
-Cheetah has her own main quest and side quest. Details below.
-Side quest has two different endings depending on your choice.
-Added several skin edits.
-To honor Catsockjus's work and design, the Cheetah's NSFW skins (including banner) can be found: here


Skills:
Speed. All of the Cheetah's offensive skills benefit from her going first; moreover, she cements her Speed superiority through her crits, which give her Speed and Dodge for the duration of the quest. These gains can be sacrificed, however, to gain a damage buff using her "Blessed Sacrifice" skill. Discretion is advised, as sacrificing too much will lead to losing her Speed advantage.

Story:
When the goddess Naga mortally wounded her sister, Eagle, in jealous rage, the Hounds lept to avenge their ailing goddess, declaring war on Naga's people, the Cheetah. For a decade the war maimed each kingdom, until Eagle woke from her injury. Gasping, dying, and grieved by what she saw, Eagle demanded the Hounds make peace.

Though peace was made, a goddess was dead, and another greatly weakened. Zealots began to pox the Cheetah kingdom, claiming that the Old Ways could revitalize Naga. The Cheetah Queen stood against them, and so did Naga, who placed herself within the Princess to combat the blight destroying her kingdom.

The Old Way cultists poisoned the pragmatic Queen and green eyed Princess. With no cure in sight, the Queen gave her life, using its energy to heal her daughter. Now the new Queen comes to the Estate, aiming to obliterate every last cultist.


Quests (Non-Spoiler):
Main Quest: Cultist Extermination
Trigger: Random chance on use of "Blessed Sacrifice" (10% Chance)
The Old Way cultists scour the regions of the Estate, searching for knowledge and powerful relics. These discrete heretics travel in small groups, with their leader far removed from danger; thus, we must eliminate their numbers, until their leader is forced to join the search.

Side Quest: Identity Crisis
Triggers: Random action during affliction, "Lost in Memory" (10% Chance)
Or, Key item at end of Main Quest

Fearful is the mind that reaches out and feels nothing; that remembers the feeling but not the name; that remembers the name but not the face; for each question fiercely answered only peels the scab of madness back further.

All trinkets are Cheetah exclusive.

Hey uh, i'm wondering. Does the Cheetah have skins with darkened / blacked-out eyes?
FriendTheBarrel 14 May @ 1:14am 
@ManOfGod413 I am perhaps the worlds biggest bark fan, I read all of them on every class. Cuppy is cool too, that one line he has where he's like "Cuppy is just going to come out and say it. You guys? Uncool." or something to that effect and then it stresses everyone out. that shit killed me the first time I saw it

hype for more characters big dawg :steamthumbsup:
ManOfGod413  [author] 12 May @ 2:41am 
@FriendTheBarrel, Thank you, that's very kind of you to say. Writing barks takes me quite a while, so I'm glad someone likes them. I found several more generic triggers while working on Cuppy, so I may expand Cheetah's dialog in the future.

If you like Cheetah's storyline, then you may be interested to know I have several characters in the works that come from the same region; however, one of them represent the Hound Kingdom, while the other two come from the Badlands. If / when those come out, hopefully people enjoy them.

I always love how in depth your barks are, she really has something to say for everything

@ManOfGod413 I think your mod is good. I just thought of it from the name. I hope this matter won't affect your mood. Sorry.:Sadclot:
ManOfGod413  [author] 20 Feb @ 11:13pm 
@Tainted Pyrrha Nikos, Bruh really posted about Cheetahmen? Can this mod ever compare to that Action 52 classic? There's no mad doctor to fight in this one; but, like in Cheetahmen, you will have to fight other anthropomorphic animals.

Hopefully you're enjoying the mod. Thanks for reminding me of that AVGN episode.

The Cheetahmen ran off...and now...the Cheetahmen.:turned:

THX buddy.nice mod!
ManOfGod413  [author] 20 Feb @ 12:41am 
@Ace TankDoggy, I'm glad you like her clothes. Bodysuits are all the rage (at my skill level at least).

@四季炸虾棒三途川分店,
Short answer? No.
>I don't have Xelsword's permission.
>It would break Cheetah's lore.

Long answer? Kinda.
>Your question got me curious if it was possible/if I could do it. The sprite sheets for idle and combat are have completely different layouts, and the Affliction, Heroic, and death anims have minor differences in alignment.
>It took me about 2 hours to cut and paste the various limbs of the sprite sheets and arrange them to the Cheetah's. It can work, but there are elements of Xelsword's Shieldbreaker that can't be brought over due to difference in the anim's bones (such as her pauldron in the combat idle).
>If you like Cheetah's skillset, then you may be better off applying it to the Dancer, which is the class version of Xelsword's skin.

Thank you for the comment, and I hope you enjoy the mod.
