And speaking of that suspicious Feraligatr/alligator/dragon?

There might be a bit more to him than previously thought, but it depends if I want to keep this or not (then again, any shenanigans involving Ricky are instantly non-canon or otherwise contained in his own universe seperate from the one I'm working on. What I'm saying is, this isn't relevant to what I'm trying to rework right now).

So in essence, Ricky has a bit of a crazy power involving conjuring up this weird plasma or whatever and using it in interesting ways, mostly involving lots of dakka and "lasers" (which they're really not...more like rays of weird plasma or whatever).

The fun part is that it is literally powered by polygon-er, emotions. The more miserable he is, the stronger its passive properties become (which is basically a rejection field that burns anyone who tries to get close or touch him), and the active properties get stronger through the power of hate and anger.

Considering he's already an emotional trainwreck, this is an extremely bad thing. When the eyes start growing really brightly blue (right through the tinted glasses), that's your signal to run. Or maybe deliver a dropkick to the head.

Of course the people who reported this power of his could very well be telling a very elaborate lie and he doesn't actually have this power.

I also took the time to mess with his design a bit, mainly the hairstyle, tail spikes and also the palette of his shoes, mainly for no other reason than shaking things up since they were getting a bit stale.

I tried airbrushing a little blue aura around him to represent the rejection field, but I thought it looked too silly so I scrapped it. Wouldn't it be invisible instead of a big blue "don't touch me leave me alone" aura?
