Nadir (Prototype)

DISCLAIMER: THIS WAS MADE IN 2 WEEKS BY ONE PERSON WITH NO PREVIOUS RIVALS MODDING EXPERIENCE, DO NOT EXPECT A FINISHED CHARACTER

This is best described as a ~75% complete prototype for a concept I had - it's missing a few features and I'm not convinced the kit meshes together especially well, but I'd rather upload it and ask for feedback than not.

(About the missing features: the pebbles the character creates were originally meant to bounce off of one another when they had an active hitbox, and down tilt, back air, all three strong attacks, and neutral special were intended to temporarily charge the pebbles, increasing their damage/knockback and causing them to charge pebbles they bounced off of. Just didn't get everything working in time.)

I may or may not continue developing this, depending on personal stuff. Got a few ideas on stuff I want to tweak, mainly to make it less derivative of Mollo's bombs.

The initial story idea, based on my extremely limited knowledge of Rivals lore, was that the character would be a stone or metal construct based on an anteater (hence the placeholder taunt image), a remnant of an ancient Earth-aligned civilization predating the Rock Wall that had fallen dormant with said society's collapse - little more than an inorganic underground worker bee that was never meant to leave the narrow confines in which it worked, let alone see the light of day. With a freak reactivation (perhaps set in motion by some other plot event), it would be reintroduced into the world with none of its previous, highly confined existence intact and have to navigate both the entirely different world in which it now existed and its poor understanding of life outside its own limited experiences.
