Explanation of Transformation

Jessica's Notes

When the hood goes on, the body changes from human to skeletal, the button up opens and underneath is a spinal cord (no ribs) and the feet/legs become digitigrade and turn to large bony paws (separate bones or a bone plate for the feet is up to you).

I was thinking for the shift from human to non human to happen immediately after the opening monologue and I named the attack accordingly, but if it's more difficult to treat it that way, the shift could also be used as the Special Attack instead (ie slams hands on ground, shifts and leaps forward with claws, then after the attack shifts back to human) and the Regular Attack could instead be a punch or kick or something.

Phyllis's Notes

Have an animation that will only be used when the character enters the screen. Jessica's character will start as human, and then it bends forward like in the reference picture to initiate the change, and then immediately will move into a Regular Attack. After that point, the character will be non-human rather than human. The beginning animation needs to seamlessly transition into the Regular Attack, just fyi.

Last Remarks

If anything is too complicated, feel free to change it as you see fit. I consider my input more of a rough guideline than anything solid.

Phyllis Notes

When Jessica uses Attack 2, enemies will come out of the hole from the ground that she's made. I'll do that with programming. Please split the Attack 2 into two layers: one of the foreground rip of the floor's line, and then the rest of the rip of the ground.
