Hey guys, whether you are completely new to zampanio, or if you've played before, we all have something in common: to start the game, we create our own character. And of course, sharing them is fun! It can be simply a character you created to play as, or your own "zampanio-sona", or even a fully fledged OC, depends on you.

I'll go first! My character is a Mist Maid, really cool title right? He's a maid (surprising ik) of lonely, with interests being endings and light. His strongest stat is Calm, and uses ranged skills in battle. His main story quest and backstory involve him being isolated and alone, until he became a prophet and well known and now talks to everyone. 

Really having fun with this character, gonna try to go for something melee next time,  maybe something with hunting or spiral? I heard there's a whole secret maze area hidden somewhere but you may need special skills to find it. 

Man I really want to try a maid but i just don't want to give up the Impatient stats of a prince, it's just such a boost that everything else feels slow in comparison, and some of the lategame skills are too useful, but i have to try it at some point. maybe whenever i get bored of playing with my character and want to start from the begining. btw my character is  named Vasnah savnar :) 

This is my Zampaniosona, Scream, and they're a Herald of Beef according to a ZampanioSim session supplied with an estimate of what their class and aspect would have been. It's a title that involves a lot more explosions than you'd think; that is to say, still not very many, but... Being a green ferret thing? Watching said green ferret thing chuck itself into a pit of black sludge and swim down to acid trip hell at the end of the world? No, the weirdest thing was throwing explosive roasts at people during the platforming segments.

(that's a joke, I almost don't even want to know what that ending was supposed to be)

Funny story: Halfway through drawing this, I remembered that the design for my sona actually came from Zampanio.

Not this Zampaniosona I made based on vague memories of when I originally played, the original sona that this is an alternate version of that I've been representing myself with in one form or another for as long as I can remember. Like I mentioned, my memory of Zampanio is very vague because I was a little kid who could barely read when I played it, but I was thinking about it as I was drawing this and my mind wandered to the little animal I played as, and...  

Well, I liked to doodle on my schoolwork a lot and I was obsessed for at least a year even after breaking the CD, so I ended up drawing it a lot and I just realized that it's what the design for my sona developed from. That weird knockoff in the corner is traced off of an old math test I dug up for comparison and it's definitely the same character, even if the patterns on the modern version weren't there yet.
