User:CircafuciX/Alchemist Tribute
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This page is a tribute for the progressive/death metal band Alchemist by me. It's new and will have anything about the band and I'm not sure how to continue the idea just yet, so I will add the basics first.
You could say that Alchemist started the psychedelic metal/psychedelic death metal scene with their very interesting use of psychedelia and Eastern influences in their own world of metal. They are none like no other until another band embraces their style and uses it for an influence on their sound.
A map inspired by Alchemist art and was suggested by me will be made for Halo CE (PC) and will include guitars as weapons and contains a secret room more to come when information storms out to me by Kietaro the map's creator.
My complete wishes for the map
This is an idea of what I want done for the Alchemist map;
The voice of the narrator might be a member of the band using voice modding it might be Adam Agius.
Ships and Vehicles: Saucer vehicles will be from the Alchemist flash anime video;
- Mothership: (longsword) can plasma nuke (explosion will be neon-green) and shoot proton missiles (hold ctrl for ion missiles), abduct and tele up teammates
- Half Mothership: (alien transport veh) (pelican) shoot regular weapons^, abduct and kill enemies on foot and in small vehicles and tele up teammates
- Small Alien Saucer: (Banshee/Fighter jet) has normal weapons, can abduct only
- Hogs:fully modded and look "out of this world" black and dark blue or w.e (not sure of how vehs would be modded to look like yet)
- Tank=will be similar to covie tank just awesomer!!! Or something like that Voivod album picture of this wicked tank
- Ghost=will be black (and shiny covie-like too) and dark blue and will have dark blue lights when it hovers and neon green blasts other button fires what are called proton laser blasts (explodes on impact)
- Robotic Insect= A giant ant-like or maybe praying mantis robot that has six legs and can use it’s claws to swipe at ships as a weapon, it’s eyes shoot out a laser that is dark orange (or another color) :a take on the mechanical ant, from the Negatron album:
The saucer ships can abduct (lol) your enemies (when they die from that it will say: ____ was abducted by ____ ) as a way to kill them and can shoot lasers and a plasma bomb as well and you can teleport up teammates. Their abduction feature is limited to the size of the ship they can actually abduct. The sound they make will be an eerie sound like most alien ships should have.
Weapons and Pick Ups:
- Assault Rifle=mini guitar blaster and is a guitar (metal style) (will probably have part of a song with a popular Alchemist riff for two secs)
- Needler=shoots dark blue needles other button launches them all
- Covenant Laser=shoots dark purple lasers
- Rocket Laucher=shoots a bongo drum (explosion is orange instead of yellow-like)
- Sniper Rifle=shoots thin neon-green laser
- Pistol= shoots dark red lasers
- Hunter Blaster=shoots straight with dark black swirly psychedelic blasts (that twist around the blast) like on Alchemist's icon and Austral Alien album
- Camoflauge= black see-through instead of clear white, so is overshield and the colors will be darker colors of what they are
- Health Pack= black with neon green hospital sign
- Plasma Nades= modded look while being eerie dark blue or neon green and will explode in the same color, explodes five seconds later.
- Frag Nades= are…? Not sure.. but they will be modded
General and Scenery: The map will use halo 2 and 3 graphics and things like the weapon holstered to your back (which will be a guitar for the A.R.)
Scenery: should be alien-like and surreal, dark, dream-like and very bizarre but nice to look at and play around on
There will be a simple secret room for a hidden secret and is based off an actual room.
The very secret room should be their recording studio that looks similar from the documentary video or some other recording studio that has maybe all their songs play like a playlist unless thats a copyright problem…. Not sure what else to add… but the way things usually look in Halo will probably be completely modded.
I am really psyched about the map actually coming to life!
