# Viper - Cyborg form
I'm still stuck in making the transformation believable. Hiding a tail in his head seems just impossible. And I'm also trying to find a better shape/design of his head.

# Viper - Outfit & Cyborg details
So how about hiding the tail in his torso? Or maybe someday I'll just abandon the idea of giving him a tail. *sobbing* Also, I started to design his outfit. The more I thought, the less reason to give him a cyborg form without clothes, hmmmmmm :/

# Viper - Face
Finally, I'm designing his face feature. Obviously, he is mostly inspired by DMC4 Credo, but since this is my own original project, I should base more on my thought. So compared to his inspiration character, Viper is more gloomy and introvert, mostly calm and peaceful, but can also become very aggressive toward specific targets. He is not a leadership material and trusts barely anyone.  

# Extra thoughts
It's been a while for another concept post! The difficulties are increasing while more detailed concepts need to be figured out. I'm almost regretting choosing sci-fi theme as the world of mine project, but it's so much fun to imagine it. I'm also reading articles about AI and future technology and oops, knowing my brain has not been updated for a long time. 

Also, I'm planning to give each of them a very different and down-to-earth background story so I won't feel their personality is coming from nowhere or overly unoriginal. I'm using google doc & keep for making notes and keeping my thoughts clear, here's a screenshot of them (all written in Chinese though):

And here are some additional concepts about Viper (will still be modified):

• His true name is Arvid Nordström. 
• He has an older sister named Sofia Nordström.
• Viper bears deep resentment against specific android and AI technology.
• Viper lives in an isolated country which forbids free speeches and AI technology.
• When he was a child, Viper had been sent to a camp (similar to addiction camp) due to he and his sister was associated with an illegal network which redistributed forbidden news from unknown resources.
• The cyborg form Viper can endure all kinds of extreme force and perform self-revolution. All of his body fluid will become venomous if he is putting in stress and hence the name 'Viper'.
• Viper has a big crash on Proteus. LOL

# 毒蛇 - 人造人型態
頭部造型轉換過程的難題讓我卡到現在。把作用意味不明的尾巴塞進頭裡，這點子真的是越想越勉強。上個月想出來的頭部造型我也不是很滿意，所以又試著想了幾個新的版本。

# 毒蛇 - 服裝概念&人造人型態
既然很難把尾巴塞進頭裡，那麼塞進背裡怎麼樣？...我可能哪天突然就決定要幫他把尾巴剪掉了。另外也開始設計他的服裝，越設計就越覺得，比起幾乎沒穿的人造人型態，有穿衣服的樣子可能還是比較適合他，而且也比較實際。呃啊總有一種回歸原點的感覺(抱頭)

# 毒蛇 - 臉部特徵
終於進行到設計他的臉部細節惹。他的主要靈感就是朵兄啦，但都說好要搞自創了，所有設計最好還是要依照背景設定需求來做。硬要比較的話，毒蛇更加陰沉、不擅交際，通常表現更安靜而隨和，但對於特定的敵人會表現出非常露骨且強烈的攻擊性。基本上不是當領導人的料，而且很難相信任何人。

# 其他感想
距前一回上傳構想又過了好一陣子啦，我的進展果然不出預料，非常龜速，而且構想的難度也越來越高，慘了啊啊啊啊。到底選擇做未來科幻主題是不是個好點子...？！不過我個人對科幻和天文學一直抱著憧憬、而且平時很喜歡亂翻冷知識影片來看，所以很享受整個構思和找資料的過程，但還是不禁感到自己搞太多年衍生，結果導致這方面的知識和點子真的嚴重不足。

話說我也計畫要給每個主要角色一個詳實的背景設定，過去畫衍生同人時最大的挑戰是很難入戲，而很難入戲通常是因為缺了個前因後果，角色個性幾乎可以說是無中生有，然後我又一直沒辦法欣賞官方後來附會上去的補充背景故事。官方故事都不喜歡，很明顯就代表我應該要來搞自己的作品了。總之我目前整理點子的方法就是利用大家都愛的google doc還有keep功能，以下有截圖：

附上目前想到關於毒蛇的設定(會繼續被修改)：

• 本名叫阿維德‧諾德斯特朗( Arvid Nordström )。
• 有一個姊姊，名叫 蘇菲亞‧諾德斯特朗 ( Sofia Nordström )。
• 毒蛇非常憎恨某些特定的仿生人或AI科技。
• 毒蛇生長在一個被孤立的國家，該國家禁止自由言論以及AI科技。
• 毒蛇在童年時代曾經被送進某種訓練營(類似當今的青少年成癮矯正營)，原因是他與他的姊姊曾涉及利用某個違法的網路散播來源不明的新聞。
• 人造人型態的毒蛇擁有強大的自我修復與學習機能，能逐漸適應各種極端壓力與環境變化。某件意外發生之後，他演進出一種特殊能力：只要精神承受到壓力，體液就會產生毒性，這也「毒蛇」稱號的由來。
• 最最最重要的設定：對普羅提烏斯幾乎是一見鍾情。(沒錯這個真的很重要)
