Strife - Tumblr Posts
Woo! New Darksiders teaser! Who else is super excited? Hope we get more news within the next couple months.
Anyways! Wanted to share another Darksiders crossover idea! Or, more like return to one particular crossover idea. The Darkness.
Oh, how interesting it would be if all the Horsemen could encounter good ol' Jackie Estacado. Strife I can imagine would probably try befriending Jackie. Fury would probably wonder what was so special about this human. War and Death would probably be cautious, just in their own ways.
Jackie however, would immediately be suspicious and on guard. Four people that he can immediately tell are of some kind of non-human nature, now taking an interest in the weird activity of New York City. He's especially suspicious once The Darkness starts cackling in his head about the chaos that will be wrought soon enough. He knows that once that thing starts going, there's a high chance that whatever it's talking about is no good.
I can imagine that maybe the Horsemen are on Earth for once, just enjoying what it's like in a modern city, and that once night falls and Jackie starts doing what he does best, that's also when the Horsemen start taking notice of The Darkness, as I like to imagine that's they may have a sort of sixth sense for things of a magical nature. Imagine if the other Artifacts, like say The Angelus, The Witchblade, The Rapture or the Spear of Destiny get brought into the equation, and the batshit insanity that may just erupt.
Oooo! Just had a neat idea for this. Imagine if like how the Spear of Destiny is... enchanted, I guess, by the blood of Jesus, imagine if in this crossover The Rapture is a portion of the Charred Council, just sort of chipped off or something. Or maybe if having the Witchblade get involved, with the Artifact being of both order and chaos, of both Light and Dark, it could be seen as like a proto‐Nephilim of sorts?
I really gotta get back to reading more of volume one of The Darkness, as it may help me get some ideas of writing something beyond just basic ideas for this crossover.
So... once again thinking about the Darksiders characters if they were implemented into a MOBA. Sorry if this is a tired idea to anybody. It's just, with playing Wild Rift, it gets me thinking, and Darksiders is one of my favorite video game series, so sometimes thoughts just form together.
I was thinking about passives and got an idea while trying out Tryndamere. Maybe for the Horsemen, just like how Tryndamere generates "Fury," the Horsemen generate "Wrath." I don't think it's a bad idea, considering in the Darksiders games "Wrath" can be generated when in combat just like "Fury" is for Tryndamere.
Tryndamere isn't the only one with "Fury" in LoL either. Renekton and Shyvana also do use "Fury," just in different ways to Tryndamere. So, maybe "Wrath" is generated differently for each Horseman. Using the Rider of the Black Horse as an example, Fury could say generate "Wrath" in a similar way to Shyvana, where her abilities are based on how long they cool down and her "Wrath" is what is used for her Ultimate. Meanwhile, War and Death could take inspiration from Renekton and Tryndamere. War could generate "Wrath" and for his next basic ability will get an empowered effect once enough is stored, while Death when generating "Wrath," depending on the amount, could get a higher chance for a critical strike. Now, that just leaves Strife. He's a bit harder to figure out. His "Wrath" would be generated in combat just like the other Horsemen, but what extra effect could it have, if needed? I'm stumped. Oh, or maybe Strife is the one with "Wrath" related to his Ultimate while Fury share "Wrath" use similar to War or Death.
Now, what of other Darksiders characters? Would they use "Wrath?" I think that could depend. As part of a hypothetical passive in a MOBA, maybe it could work, while others I could see as having a Mana bar like Ekko, or an Energy bar like Akali. Depends on their personality, I guess. Or some could just be baseline Manaless, all their abilities being a bit more based on cool downs.
Someone like Absalom would probably also have "Wrath," while someone like Azrael would probably have Mana. Don't know what characters could use Energy though, not many feel like they have abilities built around doinf things quickly like Kennen, Akali, Shen, or Zed. Funny idea I just had while typing this is maybe The Hunter from Darksiders 2 having Ferocity, just like Rengar... I'm joking! That could probably fit Samael? Ulthane's abilities I could see being purely based on cool downs.
Speaking of Ulthane, what could his passive and abilities be? I think his passive could be a Living Forge type of deal similar to Ornn from League, where he can forge his own items on the battlefield instead of always having to return to base, and at least one of his abilities has to be throwing his hammer, while another could be a type of charge/dash, while maybe another could be something like throwing a powerful enough haymaker it sends out a shockwave, and I have no idea at the moment what his Ultimate could be. Now, some may be asking, "Why a powerful haymaker that can create shockwaves?" Simple enough answer. Considering War needed the Tremor Gauntlet to open heavy doors and lift Ulthane's hammer in Darksiders 1, a Gauntlet that can allow War to create shockwaves on the ground with a certain move, who's to say Ulthane can't be strong enough to do something similar? Or maybe it could be a Thunderclap, similar to what the Incredible Hulk can do?
Anyways, this is feeling like it's getting a bit long, and I am up bit late as I am writing this, so I will return to this later and try coming up with more ideas at some point. Hope you all enjoyed this and hey, if you got ideas you wish to add, that's cool.
So... continuing off of this, I'm thinking of Fury's MOBA moveset again, as well some of the other characters I've talked about before, and I think I would change up some things.
FURY: Her Ultimate would stay the same, it being her transforming into Havoc Form. I would have it use her "Wrath" for the transformation, since I think her Ultimate working a bit like Shyvana's makes sense. It maybe could also do what it does in Darksiders 3 and heal her once active, sort of like Dr. Mundo's Ultimate. I also got the idea of taking some inspiration from Bellona in SMITE for two of her abilities, where it could be that her weapon, Scorn, changes form and does extra physical or magic damage depending. I'm thinking a an ax for a close-range ability and a spear for a long-range ability, with her third ability being a dash. I know all the Horsemen essentially have a dash in their games, but Fury's feels the most built around the it since it's also the dodge.
DEATH: His Ultimate would stay the same, along with basically making him unkillable, but not immune to Crowd Control. Essentially a variation on Tryndamere's Ultimate. I would keep Teleport Slash and using Dust to scout similar to Ashe's Hawkshot, and maybe the Ghouls he summons. I'm still somewhat on the fence about those.
WAR: His moveset would stay the same from a previous post: Blade Geyser, Stoneskin, Rampage for basic abilities, and Chaos Form for Ultimate. For sake of hypothetical game balance, maybe War's Chaos Form is immune to CC but he could still take damage? Either that or Chaos Form is Unstoppable and Invincible but has the shortest time for the transformation.
STRIFE: His moveset would stay the same from a previous post as well: Shadow Clones, Caltrops, World Ender for basic abilities and Anarchy Form for Ultimate. Maybe like War, Anarchy Form is immune to CC but not unkillable. It makes the more sense to me for Strife to be immune to CC but not unkillable when in Anarchy Form.
SAMAEL: So, I could keep most of his moveset I came up with in another post mostly the same: pillar of flame, lightning skillshot, plasma orbs, and aura. Or we could change it up a small bit and have it that one of his abilities is basically a form a lifesteal. Where by damaging an enemy he can regain some of his own. Explain it as him stealing blood from wounded enemies as a way to heal himself. For a Passive, I think something like Darius' Hemorrhage, where his abilities stack a bleeding effect
URIEL: Her basic abilities could be a dash attack, a temporary but stationary shield, and a form of projectile. Overall, a basic kit but it feels fitting for Uriel. Her Ultimate could basically be her summoning pulling out the Armageddon Blade for basically a Super Form, maybe taking inspiration from Riven. I think her Passive could be like Athena's Reach in SMITE.
The ARCHON: His passive could be about his Corruption. It could be like Kayle's Passive but instead of becoming more divine, he becomes more monstrous. I think you could take inspiration from his boss fight for his basic abilities while his Ultimate could be a huge beam from the Rod Arafel.
The DESTROYER: I think overall, just taking some inspiration from Deathwing in Heroes of the Storm would not he a bad idea, along with maybe Shyvana. His Passive would let him be Unstoppable, with his basic abilities being a charge/dash, a powerful swipe with some knockback potential, flame breath, and his Ultimate being essentially like Pantheon's where he can fly in from say half-a-map away and land in for the battle.
ULTHANE: Figured I'd repeat this: basic abilities are a hammer throw, a charge/dash, a Thunderclap, and his Ultimate... I'm still unsure. His Passive could basically be like a mix of Ornn and Braum, where he can forge things while away from base but also every couple attcks he could temporarily stun an enemy.
WICKED K: I think he could take some inspiration from Fiora and/or Jax, in terms of basic abilities. He could have a stance where he parries enemy abilities, a special empowered strike, and I guess for the fun of it, an ability where he can throw his hat for damage. His Ultimate could basically be a powered up state where there is a chance he can do True Damage.
That's all I got for now. Hope you all enjoyed reading this! I also wouldn't mind hearing anybody else's ideas if they got any.

Since I’ve started using a cane, I’ve noticed a lot of actors & cartoonists aren’t sure how to depict characters with them! Here’s a simple cheat sheet to help with the basics/standard use.
A quick drawing dump of my Skyrim character Strife- an ex priest of Mara, framed and imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit.
i redrew a cute little comic i did of my main boys as i want to start drawing them more again <3
