Khan overhaul and redesign!
Played the firstborn nexomon game again after 4 years and still definitely adore this game
Except for...that section
Yeah, going through the khan village part of the game could be described as dreadful
It’s so... needlessly racist (I sure do love interacting with confused Native American caricature,ain’t that a blast), almost embarrassingly uncomfortable and if that’s not enough, it’s such a mindfuckingly bizarre, dare I say, grossly cheap narrative and designing choice that I can’t understand why they opted to do that instead of literally ANYTHING else
There is a whole rant about how this portion of the game vexes me endlessly but I’ll save that for perhaps another time.
The village itself I will be referring to as the hidden sanctuary. Catching wind of the reality that Omnicron’s last words to Ulzar was that his spawn had an internalized kill switch that would be activated with their king’s rebirth, a large group of people decided to essentially create a safe heaven from essentially the monster Armageddon. In fear of a possible child of the tyrant surviving, the opted to gradually erase their existence from the eyes of the grant populace. Through the years, members of the sanctuary freely go in and out of their base (a thing the game itself explicitly portrays) to pursue more knowledge and interests to bring back. They aren’t recognizable,in fact none of them have ever been uncovered, a handful even being big names in certain communities (I like to think the healer lady was a well-known doctor that eventually retired and now lives peacefully in the sanctuary with her partner whom she met in med school)
Essentially they aren’t cut off from the rest of the would, the rest of the world is cut off from THEM
Khan himself was born in the village and soon discovered his powers in foresight and communication with those beyond. He is, as Hilda herself described their kind in the abyssals dlc, one of the arcane (gonna make a post of them at some point) and is especially adept at making plant life grow and develop. He is a sage foremost and then an official overseer, both of the sanctuary and the world(?) at large, assigned by Remus when he was the nexolord, though the majority either doesn’t know about him or believe half truths about how he just resides somewhere in the jungle
He has a collection of tattoos framing his upper half portraying the elements (because i thought it looked cool, hush) and his fit consists mostly of earthy colors. He spends most of his time by Ventra’s tree in the heart of the sanctuary but he does tent to venture out once in a while to buy soda and cigarettes by the tourist convenience store in the jungle wearing a pair of crocs,shorts and one of the thousand palmayan shirts that Hilda insists if gifting him because she thinks she’s been funny. Speaking of Hilda, she regularly paints his nails black purely because official art has portrayed him with black nails (ventra boss fight) and you have no evidence to prove me otherwise-
Anyway, obvious disclaimer that the word vomit above is by no means perfect (and feel free to correct me) but anything else functional other than what is currently in place is a step from literal rock bottom
Revisited my old khan redesign because this fella will forever be in a desperate need of an overhaul. Most of my old thoughts written out in that (almost two years old holy shit) post hold up so I'm not gonna go into much detail
The first one he usually wears around the sanctuary, simple but convenient cloths and such. The incognito look is the one that the outside world (aside from the other overseers) knows him as.
"Overseer khan is a bit of a mystery for most people, a kind but reserved fellow usually strolling around the jungle tourist shop and Ignitia, buying cigarettes or running odd errands with his Torrex. No one really knows where he lives and the overseer is more than happy to keep that a secret. Some say he works close with the infamous witch of the Citadel but alas... nothing verifiable"
Individual under the cut
