Concept Documents

All Out Fairy Tale aims to be a first person beat’m up modification with shoot’m up elements for Unreal Tournament 2004. Set in a Fairy Tale setting characters fight eachother in multiplayer battle in the Enchanted World with the use of melee, weapons, special moves and other combat.

All Out Fairy Tale will, in later development, become, next to the multiplayer part, a singleplayer game in which players choose a character who’s storyline is followed during battles with goal to reach the final boss and receive the reward.

All Out Fairy Tale aims to be a mod outside of the flock, who wished to renew the genre and add new and daring elements. Our goal is to create a game that is fun to play and will raise eyes. Everything that comes from this is a welcome addendum.

Pre-game config

After the basic loading screens you will be able to start multiplayer matches, join multiplayer matches or play the tutorial level. You are also capable of changing your options and perform normal and standard procedures in games.

Screen Setup

Once you commenced the multiplayer game you will be enables to either join a server or start a new server. If you select the ‘join’ server you will follow the gameplay of the serveradministrator and be presented with the character selection screen. After picking your fighter you will be able to select the prefered (if any) team you wish to be part of. Once this option is chosen you will enter play.

When starting a new game you will have the option between several playmodes.

• All Out War
  In this mode you will be presented with all options of gameplays presented either randomly or by vote. Voting will be done by giving a list of maps ordered by gameplay-type.
• Selective Battles
  In this mode you will be able to select from the different gameplay-types available in the game.

You will be presented with a final option that gives you a capability to select the total amounts of matches played in that type of map and the total amount of possible rounds for the fighters. A match is each play between start and scoreboard, a round is each play between start and deaths.

After all this the game commences and you will fight a total of 3 rounds, afterwards the victor will be chosen via the scoreboard which is seperated in both team-victors and personal-victors. When all selected matches are played you will have the top 3 winner of that match (which consisted of several rounds).

After this we return back to the playmode selection screen and/or the character selection screen.

Purpose of the Game

The purpose of the game is to be victor of tournament fights. As stated above each play consists of a selected amount of matches with a selected amount of rounds for each figther. Once the selected matches are depleted a victor will be asigned.

As a player you will be able to reach this goal by putting your adversaries into either a KO or a death state with them being unable to respawn. Each succesfull KO or Kill grants points as well as the use of tactics, weapons, special ability and moves and fighting. Deciding a winner depends on total amount of kills/ko’s and is added by skillbonusses which are calculated by hits and use of tactics and special moves/abilities. It is therefore possible that someone with a lower kill ratio wins the match, but as these kill ratio’s are granted much more points it’s very hard.

How combat works

Combat works in a first person 3D environment with you having either limbs or weapons at your disposal like in any first person shooter. Sword fighting and basic melee will be much like Morrowind but we hope to advance it a bit more. Weapon combat is like any other fps out there.

Each strike or blow decreases the stamina and health of your adversary which will decrease until he is either KO or dead.

Once KO’ed or Dead the players get a new chance to return in play. (See “Respawning”)

When time runs out the winners and losers are decided.

Weapons

Weapons consist of non-bodile related items that inflict pain or discomfort upon the adversary. It’s most commenly held within the hands or in special cases is part of the body.

Differences of Weapons
• Character Weapons: Weapons which a fighter has upon the start of a fight, these weapons can be dropped, lost or kept by the player. Once dropped they can be picked up and used by most other players.
• General Weapons: Weapons that are lying around in maps which can be picked up at will by the player. Once dropped they can be picked up by most other players
• Personal Weapons: Personal weapons that cannot be used by other players and cannot be dropped or lost, they are usually part of the character.
• There are several non bodile weapon types which inflict a different kind of damage and have a different kind of ammo and handling. A list of damage categories:
• Hand-to-Hand: Are bodile weapons that inflict pain on striking or falling. Don’t require reload but are generally weaker.
• Piercing: Weapons that make damage by piercing or making something pierce through the body. Must be either reloaded or not, dependant on which weapon is used.
• Bludgeoning: Weapons that make damage by crushing weapon on the body. Do not require a reload but are often slow in use due to the weight.
• Slashing: Weapons that make damage by slashing the body.
• Explosive: Weapons that make explosions which damage the body. Are usually one time weapons that cannot be reloaded.
• Magical: Weapons that make damage through magic. Do not require a reload but are limiting due to the height of stamina and powers of the player which uses them
• Misc: Weapons that damage by other means. Dependant on weapon.

There are other subcathegories of weapons which could prove useful in identifying the weapons origen.

1. Melee:
   Either hand-to-hand or short ranged weapons such as claws, swords, daggers which are held in hands or on feet.
2. Pistols:
   Are mostly piercing weapons such as revolver, pistols etc which are held in hands and require a simple trigger of the finger to send the projectile to the adversary.
3. Shotguns:
   Piercing weapons of a larger caliber such as shotguns, riotguns, KARs, etc Are usually two handed piercing weapons much like pistols.
4. Semi-Auto:
   Weapons such as uzi’s which are a combination of pistols, sotguns and automatics.
5. Auto:
   Heavy Calibre percing weapons which spit out numerous trajectiles towards an adversary such as machine guns etc. Ar usually so powerfull they need two hands.
6. Ranged Hand:
   Items which need to be thrown by bodile force. Consists of rocks, nades, molotov’s, darts etc. which are usually held in hands.
7. Simple Ranged Weapons:
   Simple ranged weapons such as bows, spitdarts etc which need bodile force to get the projectile somewhere.
8. Advanced Ranged Weapons:
   Advanced ranged weapons who require a trigger of the finger and travel more miles then usual pistols, shotguns or automatics. Sniper rifles for example.
9. Heavy Duty:
   Are both ranged, sentry or other weapons that are very heavy in damage such as bazookas, guided missiles etc.
10. Exotic:
    Weapons such as gasoline, taser etc which inflict a different kind of damage either upon impact or due to external factords and are not to be placed in the above cathegories.
11. Items:
    Weapons that aren’t considered as weapons but can be used as such like bottles, chairs, vases etc

Game Realism

Due to the nature of All Out Fairy Tale the weapons need not to be realistic in such a sense that exact windspeeds, ballistics and the likes are used. We would like to keep the realism intact though in such a way that a normal gun such as the magnum 45 has about the same power as the real gun. A gun which is altered in a Fairy Tale way doesn’t need to be restricted to real life realism and thus it is also possible to have a berringer look a like fire a blow which can blow an adversary 10 meters away. The amount of realism will be specified next to the weapon.

Damage Roster

0%…….10%………………….30%……………………50%…………………(40-)70%…………………. 90%…………………….100%
——————————————————————>

NOTE ON DAMAGE:
Knives won’t kill instantly. They will wound the player which will require a bandage. If the player does not bandage he will slowly bleed to death. In certain cases it will be possible to twist the knife so bandaging will be useless but this will be a 10% chance of success.

Swords are much like knives but are more powerfull. A jab will inflict both bleeding and possible loss of limbs. Dependant on the force of the jab the health of the player will decrease until it reaches 0 and causes death.

Bludgeoning weapons such as clubs will make concussions rather then instant death. A well hit club can kill the player but the blow must be targeted well and have enough force. Mostly a club will make a player KO, dependant on force, tagetted region and amount the club will inflict damage. Aim on the head and there will be a 2% chance of a skull bash, 98% will result in KO at one time or another. Several weak blows to the head will cause dizzyness. Hits on the body will decease the stamina and will make the player immobile (much like other weapons but more effective) after which the player can be killed better.

It is possible to render a person immobile without KO, this way the person will lie on the floor and view what happens with him being unable or disabled to move normally. Whether or not this will happen is calculated.

Shots to the head will have a 97% of instant kill, the remaining 2% will render the player immobile, the lasting 1% will make them mobile but severely bleeding without change of recovery except for a magical one ofcourse.

Hand to Hand Combat

Next to the information presented above we might be able to increase the melee battle besides kicks with kicks, headbutts and throws. These will inflict their own damage, mostly bludgeoning upon the player.

• Punches & Kicks
  With the use of the Alternate Function button you can switch between kicks and punches. Left Mouse will act as the left hand and right mouse will act as the right hand. Like Melee Combat you’ll have different punches or kicks when performing different clicks
• Throws and Pushes
  When in extreme close nature you can perform throws and punches upon a player. A manhunt kind of indication will be given whereas you can perform left or mouse click (only in hand to hand) to perform a throw or a push
• Headbutts
  It might be possible to use the reload function (block in hand to hand) for a headbutt when in close range like the above throw and punches.

Special Moves

Special Moves are special abilities which need to be triggered in order te be performed. It will drain stamina when used and needs a certain amount of stamina and magic in order to work.. Special moves can only be perfomed when no weapon is used, ie in hand to hand melee. When performing a special move you press the asigned key after which a cross will appear on screen, depending on which move you want you need to press the asigned keys to guide yourself down the ‘special moves tree’ towards the final destination. The more powerfull the SM the longer you will have to press keys. The cross can be compared to a menu in such a way, any direction points to a lower level which points to another level. This way you can create special moves that require the following keys: north, east, south, west, west, south after which the special move will be activated. When performing the keys you will see the animation made for this play. You are vulnarable during the performance of this key so be thoughtfull or quick!

Special Abilities

Special Moves are like special moves with the sole difference that they can be asigned to one keypress and can be used indefinatly. These include flying, healing, regeneration, underwaterbreathing etc. These special abilities won’t drain anything since they are in the nature of the fighter using them. The are weak and mostly either defensive or plain usefull.

Fatalities/Death Moves

Later in development we will try to incorporate fatalities much like the Mortal Kombat series did them. This will be achieved by making use of the Man Hunt principle and some boundaries as to when you can perform them. A fatality will only be able to be done when

1. The opposing character is either dizzy or paralysed.
2. The performing character is within a certain range, after which you will see Manhunt like indications as to when you can perform the fatality.
3. The performing character has to have full rage (optional: needs to be discussed)

When all these are valid the character will be able to perform the fatality much like the normal special moves. With several fatalities placed on seperate levels.

Items

Items are non-weapon and mostly non-deadly/damaging objects which can be picked up, stored in inventory and used by the player. They usually consist of items that aid the fighter in their combat and replace the special abilites and moves of others. Some examples of items are oxygen masks, gasmasks, healthpacks, potions etc.

Taunts

Taunts are curses aimed towards a certain player which will increase the rage of the other player, when one uses a taunt when someone is performing a special move within a certain radius then he will have to restart his special move.

Other

Sentry weapons or items: These are items or weapons that cannot be picked up and have a variety of uses. They can consist of gunturrets, videoscreens, healtstations etc. and are activated or used with the Function Key.

The Challange Button: This button is mainly used to challenge another player to a duel. Must be clicked when viewing a person he or she will then challenge the player (this will be announced to everyone by the announcer). When pressed you will have the opposing player in view at all time, like some kind of lock-on. Once the player is at a certain point (ie out of range by moving out of XX radii) the challenge will be over. Players have the choice whether or not they get into a challenge. A challange is cancelled by pressing the same button when challenged.

Inventory System

All Out Fairy Tale uses an inventory system much like Diablo whereas each weapon or item requires a certain amount of space in the backpack of the player. When the player can’t add anything to the backpack it’s full after which weapons or items need to be removed.

The inventory consist of the following screens:

• Play-Screen: If possible this small screen will show you what is going in when you have the inventory open.
• Current Weapon: The weapon which is currently in your hands.
• Inventory: A 10×10 grid in which weapons or items can be placed. You can asign buttons numerical buttons 1-0 and ³°_ to several weapons or items. Once full the player can’t pick up anything anymore. Each weapon/item has his own place in a grid, with heavy weapons taking up more place then light weapons.
• Items/Ability: X seperate places where special items can be put, for magic users it is possible to put spells in these places. Characters with special abilities have the amount of special abilities they have put in the item places. Hence characters without abilities can put more items in these spots. These items can also be asigned to the keys 1 to 0 and ³°_
• Character: Your character portrait.
• Accept Button: Accepts changes
• X and _ Button: Closes and Minimises.

The Aiming System

The aiming system is much like other games with some exceptions. Default setting for the aiming system is ironsights. This signifies that using certain weapons effectively will need you to right click on the mouse to put the sights in front of your eyes, after which you can shoot and aim effectively. In short there are two options: Crosshairs ON: Like described above, ranged weapons have sights that you will have to pull up with rightmouse click to use effectively. When not aiming you have your weapon hipped and aimin is much harder although still centered. When in aim we could incorporate free-aim to make it more interesting. In hip you won’t have crosshairs. For normal weapons there will be no crosshair either.

Crosshairs OFF: The same as above with the only exception that you will have a crosshair available where previously there was none. It in fact doesn’t change a thing. Right mouse aim is still enabled. Crosshairs are either pixies, flies or will o’ the whisps.

To avoid abuse we will incorporate penalties in ther accuracy of the weapon when walking or running. Much like some other games, the weapon will say much more then normally.

Bandaging and Dizzyness

• Bandaging:
  When pain is inflicted upon the body the character will start to bleed, not responding to a bleeding body will often result into slowly dying. Bandaging the wound is the sole solution next to a magical one to solve this. After a succesfull bandage bloodlevel will very slowly increase. A second bandage will require more reations as you bleed faster and faster. A total of 3 bandages is physcally possible without magical healing. A failed bandage results in bleeding to immobility and eventually death.
• Dizzyness:
  When striked with a bludgeoning or hand to hand weapon on the head you will, dependant on the force of the blow, get dizzy. Shaking the dizzyness off is the only solution but it’ll leave you volnerable as your vision and controls will be severely changed. Continues blows during dizzyness results in a KO and most likely an eventual death.. A Manhunt kind of system will be introduced to perform Fatalities.

Death and KO’s

Death occurs when a players hitpoints or blood level reach -1. KO is reached when someones stamina is below -1. Is is possible, in time, to get out of KO but it’s undoubtfull since the adversary would rather have the finishing blow upon you rather then walk away and let you resurface. If so you’ll get out of KO with a special KO meter which requires presses of keys (very hard though, much like Mortal Kombats smash the board game). Once revived you will slowly regain your stamina.

NOTE: Although running and performing special moves drains the stamina of a person it’s undoubtfull that ALL stamina is lost during these acts. Being hit with low stamina due to this ofcourse makes one more vulnerable to hits and thus has more chance to get into a KO

Respawning

Respawning in essence is impossible in tournament games, a loss is a loss no matter what but rather then being removed from game completely after losing the set amount of rounds you will have a max of 2 chances for retaliation. Upon each death you will be sent to either a special part of the map or the general map and be transformed in Tin Soldiers. These non-combattive soldiers have only a musket and limited hopping movement.

In order to return to play and have your extra chance you will have to find a certain amount of items or kill another Tin Man within a period of time. If you are killed by either a Tin Man or a normal player you will be put on the bench untill the total match is over.

When you achieve your goal you will be granted one more round extra, if you fail again you’ll have one last final chance or respawn, succeed again and you’ll have had a total of max 5 rounds in order to prove yourself.

Winning and Losing

The winner, either group of personal, is chosen from the players and is the one who has the most points in total. The losers will be all the rest.

Scoresystem

Personal Scores.

• Kill/KO
• + 100 Points
• Respawn
• – 100 Points
• Special Kill
• + 200 Points
• SpawnKill
• – All Points
• Death
• + 0 Points
• Objective
• + 150 Points
• For each # of Combo’s
• + 5 Points
• For each # of Mega Combo’s
• + 10 Points

Team Scores (only applicable when in a team). Big difference with the above is that team scores are the sum of all personal scores.

• Kill/KO
• + 100 Points
• Respawn
• – 200 Points
• Special Kill
• + 200 Points
• SpawnKill
• – All Points
• Death
• + 0 Points
• TeamKill
• – Half Points
• Objective
• + 150 Points
• For each # of Combo’s
• + 1 Points
• For each # of Mega Combo’s
• + 5 Points

The Fairest of them All

The player with the most points of all the people playing will be “the fairest of them all”. The player managing to kill the Fairest will get +500 points. When he or she kills the same fairest in a consecutive way (for the time he IS ‘The Fairest’) he will get an addition +100 points to the 500 for each try.
In short, when a player can kill The Fairest a total of 4 time before becoming Fairest, or someone else becoming it, he or she will get 500+[100+500]+[200+500]+[300+500] = 2600 points

Rounds and Times

Each match consists of a minimum of 3 to 10 rounds and a option to have infinite rounds. After each match the victor will be chosen and you will have the option to restart.

Each match has a total of the times of the number of rounds. If one rounds last 10 minutes, then a match set to 3 rounds max can last a maximum of 30 minutes. A game set to infinate rounds lasts untill the players call it a quit.

Bonusses and Penalties

…

Handicaps

…

Movement

Walking is the basic movement of a character and can be done both horizontally as vertically as sideways. Walking does not drain stamina as it is slow.

Running is walking with an increase of speed. During a run stamina will drain slowly untill the fighter is exhausted and can’t do anything but walk.

Crouching is kneeling down upon place, when ones tries to walk in this situation you will move forward like a duck. Running in this possition is disabled. Melee is limited to the use of hands, weapon use remains the same.

Proning is lying down upon the floor, when one moves in this situation he will crawl on over the floor. Running is also disabled in this position. Melee is disabled completely as well as some weapons such as bows are disabled.

Swimming is movement within a liquid, movement is more slow and difficult. Combat is hard and many weapons are useless while swimming. Magic cannot be used under water. A special meter (respitory meter) is asigned when swimming underwater which slowly decreases unless one searches for air. Upon depletion of the meter the character will quickly fall into KO/Death as the health or blood meter decreases rapidly. Resurfacing while suffocatin will make the bloodmeter refill instantly but requires the stamina meter to refill as well. An example of this can be found in DeusEX.

Flying is movement in the air, everything works when flying but one should be carefull with his stamina as a sudden decrease of stamina might make the player fall to his death. A special meter is asigned for items that make people fly, upon depletion of the aviation meter the machine will fail and the player will plummeth to death.

Climbing is the movement over vertical objects such as walls. One can climb a fair amount before stamina gets reduced and you risk falling to the floor. An untrained or unequiped player can climb a wall that’s his own height or lower. A trained climber can go higher.

Blood, stamina and magic

Each player has his own blood, stamina, magic and other meters. Besides the respetory and aviation meter noted above there are 3 main meters.

• Blood Meter aka Health Meter
  Crucial to survival this meter depletes with each hit a character gets. One can bleed and slowly die or one can get enough blows to get killed. Blood Meters slowly refill to the original point when bandaging (Example: When player bandaged with 40% health left, anbd lost 20% when bandaging, the meter will slowly refill back to 40%). Having -1 on the meter equals Death.
• Stamina Meter
  Almost as crucial as the Health Meter this meter keeps an eye on the stamina of a character. Running around, jumping and other strengenous behaviour depletes the meter to a max of 70% after which the players can’t run or jump with less or no ease. Overusing special moves causes a maximum decrease to 95% (dizzyness). Having -1 on the meter will cause a KO.
• Magic Meter aka Special Move Meter
  Only available to those who have magical or special move capabilities this meter decreases with each use of special moves. When the meter is depleted no more special moves are possible. The meter slowly refills itself.
• Rage Meter
  Optional in the games development is rage. When the player gets hit a certain amount of time he or she will have an increased rage. When the player reaches the pivot of his rage he will do double damage, undepletable stamina and be invulnerable during a specific period of time. After the rage passes the player will have zero stamina.

NOTE: Each meter can be refilled instantly with suitable magic or potions.

Communication

We will try to achieve voice communication with this game. It still needs to be decided if any other communication ingame is necessary. Most likely we’ll try to achieve a special key which will, like other games, be asigned for Team and General communication. Team Communication remains within the team. Norma will be directed to everyone else. Taunting is not considered as a communication.

To aboiv typekilling we will have the Jedi Academy kind of method of placing a text balloon above the head. No extra measures will be taken since it will ask for abuse.

Gametypes

• Team Battle
  Set up Team and fight till death.
• All Out War
  This is a basic Deathmatch Style of gameplay in which the fighters, teamed up or solitary, fight eachother for the most points. There are no rules and every aspect of the game is there.
• Objective Based
  Character Dependant and General Non-Dependant Gameplay/Maps. Character Dependant. These are maps that are specifically made for a character, can be of any of the gametypes (from All Out War to any of the below), the big difference is that this map is specifically for a character… for instance: Grandma’s House, Rapunzel’s Tower, Snow White’s House etc.
• The Objective Based Gameplay Types. “Errand” or “Delivery” —
  Get a certain person or item from or to a certain place. The player who gets the item there first wins. You can ofcourse battle to get the item. Example: ‘Little Red’s Journey’.
• The Race
  Get from point A to B or from point A to Z by passing B to Y to get to the finish. Example:- Race up the beanstalk. Along the path there are “beans” acting like spawnflags, if you claim a bean you will respawn from there, unless someone else claims it in the meantime, when you die.
• Run!
  Something is behind you: run! and make sure it doesn’t get you. Example: ‘Jabberwocky Stage’.
• Capture
  Capture a certain person or item and hold him within the specified container. Example: ‘Witches’ Oven’.
• The Siege
  One side attacks as the other defends the chosen place. Example: ‘3 Pigs House’.
• Frenzy
  Something is walking or attaching itself to the player, it’s a timebomb ready to go off. Get rid of it or get caught in the explosion and lose. The last one that remains wins.
• The Plague
  Basically a version of Tag’m. One player has the plague, he needs to tag the others to spread the plague. The tagged players get the plague as well. Scattered about are antidotes (one each time) for those who want to be healed. Non-infected players can defend themselves from the infected players.
• The Hunt
  You’ve got the hunters and the hunted, the hunters need to get the hunted and kill them X times before the timer runs out. Prey that kills a hunter becomes a hunter, a killed hunter become prey. Get Bambi: team or single: Bambi is somewhere in the forest, find him and kill ‘m. Beware though, he’s one tough mother.

Others
These are special bonus levels that will be available either in singleplayer only or due to certain triggers in multiplayer.

• First Blood
  “Somewhere in the forest resides Rammz (aka Bambi), but don’t be fooled; after his mother’s death he’s got a sore to settle” —
  Kill or be killed by Bambi, one monster of a NPC fighter.
• Old Hag
  “Get the old hag, nag, nag, nag!”Hiding in the forest is the Old Hag, find her, keep up to her and kill her.
• Ni! No! No!! No!!
  A map full of fluffy bunny rabbits that go berserk when someone attacks. Point is surviving their terror by finding higher ground or shelter. Shooting on a bunny will make them more agitated and powerfull and respawning occurs instantly (out of a rabbit hole!)

Beating the Cheaters

Cheating is something we don’t like so we will try to be innovative and creative in fighting them.

• Spawnkilling

• Spawning will be random and spawners will have a 10 second invulnerability. A few seconds before spawn the player can look in the vincinity for spawnkillers and prepare theirselves. Spawning will ofcourse only be possible after a successfull spawn (ie the tin soldier levels).
• Spawnkillers are hard to fight, anyone shooting anyone within their spawninvulnerability will be turned in to a chicken (see below). Clever spawnkillers though need other measures and this needs to be dealt with by both mapper and more thought so please incorporate some measures. Let spawning be done in a secluded area much like Day of Defeat.
• Put some kind of protection near the spawnarea.

• Teamkilling

• Reoccuring teamkilling (being +2 times) will turn the player into a chicken who can do nothing besides run around, be abused and quit. These chickens can’t be killed. Only after a plead and vote by team can chickens be turned to normal. The normal penalties will be given to teamkillers as described in the damage schemes.

• Cheats

• Will be taken on as the time comes and cheats become available.

7 Goats [based on 7 satanic sins, 7 layers of Hell, Deicide’s They Are The Children Of The Underworld]

In the creation of Anu were spawned
Born of the Earth before they’re known
Evade destruction in their world below
Their hands reach for our place outside
Bestow their suffering on human life
Nothing will stop them from re-entering
Return to hatred in the heart of man

They are the children of the underworld
Before the heavens they were on the Earth
To desolation and were never heard
“Cry rebirth”
Lords of the plague, seven are they
Born in the mountain of Mashu’s magic
Spirits of hate, they have no name
Withered and wicked, the liars in wait

In the creation of Anu were spawned
With deadly vengeance from the ancient gods
Their place on Earth, their race unknown
Beyond the knowledge of the elder ones
Provoking with our blood to rise
The seven offspring for the sacrifice
Reclaim the power of the crown of death
Enter the body from the temple dead

Story: These 7 innocent goats reside in their home when their mother goes to work. Resourcefull as they are they do not need any help with this and they are admired for it by the whole Enchanted Forest. Yet it is unknown to anyone that these 7 innocent goats are in fact Deities that have been released after the Gates to Hell were opened by the Dwarves. They are in the forest to ensure the quick release of all Demonic Deities to launch a full-scale attack on Heaven.

Map weapons or Item characters

NOTE: stories need to be changed

• Jack Pumpkinhead
  Somewhere in the cornfield he resides on a pole, strapped and pissed for the punishment they stowed upon him. When hit, Jack Pumpkinhead will screech in a fierce rage which damages the wrong-do-er after which he turns around very fast and fires off Pumpkin Seeds (who do damage of course) as far as 10 meters.“Made to scare an old witch, she brought him to life instead, and he eventually found his way to the Emerald City. His pumpkinseeds don’t seem to always work well as far as brains go, and he must carve a new head when his old one gets soft or mushy, but his simple charm makes him a favorite of all his friends. Yet after being cursed by the Evil Witch Pumpkinhead hasn’t been all that friendly anymore.”
• Professor H. M. Wogglebug —
  This character will refill all your stamina and magic bars when you touch him.“Once an ordinary small wogglebug (a common Ozian insect), he learned much when he made his home between the floorboards of a schoolhouse. (He gave himself the honorary degree of T. E., for “thoroughly educated.”) He was found by the schoolteacher and magically enlarged (hence his first initials, H. M., standing for “Highly Magnified”), and so he made his way to the Emerald City to become a lecturer. He is now dean of the Royal Athletic College of Oz.”
• Tik-Tok
  This character can be wound up after which he runs to the most nearby polayer when he or she passes, timer goes down and then he explodes.“A copper man who runs by clockwork who is trustworthy and bright, he does have a problem with winding down at inopportune moments, and he is helpless until somebody winds him up again.”
• The Shaggy Man“A wanderer from America, he came to Oz with Dorothy on one of her adventures, and was invited to stay. His simple philosophies of life and wanderlust make him a fine friend of Oz.”
• Scraps; The Patchwork Girl“Made from a patchwork quilt to be the servant of a magician’s wife, she proved to be too independent and saucy for that, so she went off on her own instead. Her lightheartedness and silly rhymes make everyone glad to see her, but her manner can be trying at times.”
• The Woozy“A strange animal, fond of eating honeybees, he’s the only one of his kind. He is made up entirely of cubes and blocks, with a square head and rectangular body. He is also a true and loyal friend, willing to help all in need.”
• Sir Hokus Pokus; Yellow Knight of Oz“Found this gentle Medieval knight in an enchanted city, and once she rescued him he proved to be brave and loyal, rendering assistance to Ozma a number of times.”
• Kabumpo“Royal elephant of the court of Pumperdink, a once small kingdom in the central Gillikin Country, Kabumpo has had his fair share of adventures in service to his country, and later to his friends in neighboring kingdoms and the Emerald City. His elegance and aloof demeanor do a poor job of hiding his loyalty and compassion.”
• Jinnicky; The Red Djinn“Living in his own castle far from Oz, on the seacoast of Ev, Jinnicky has nevertheless become involved in a number of Ozian affairs. He is a good friend of Kabumpo’s, despite their good-natured bickering. Although encased in a red ginger jar, he is a powerful magician, who has even topped the Wizard once or twice. His hearty disposition causes all to meet him to become his friends.”
