XSEED Project - Nostra IV character design

Character Design of Nostra IV, for the XSEED Project (canceled project, Lightbulb Crew)

Project "X-SEED" was the evolution of Project SEEDS : a JRPG in a unique universe inspired by Giger and Nihei, with some dark fantasy tropes and creatures. You would now control one new protagonist: Nostra IV, a cybernetic humaoïd that had the faculty to morph her body into a powerful battlesuit, the S.O.M.A. (Spiritual Organic Mecha Armor).

Nostra IV was a powerful and agile fighter, awakened (or created?) within the Umbilical Tower by a strange mini-drone shaped like a spider. This drone would attach itself to Nostra's left eye, creating a patch allowing her to analyze her environment and her enemies.

Nostra IV had to wander through the floors of the Tower, in order to discover its secrets and reach its summit. However, the various transfers and trips cost "time", until Nostra's body was too ruined and weakened to continue. Her memories, techniques and powers were then transferred via the spider drone into a new body germinated for the occasion.

I hope that all this will inspire you with new twisted, tormented, tortured ideas !
A huge thank you to the team who accompanied me during this (too short) epic at the time: you were and still are rock stars!
