I had a dream a few weeks ago on something that eventually evolved into an idea that may or may not actually be possible.

It involved Dudley, Kitty, Lady Malmsteen and the Chameleon fighting a giant nine tailed fox named Yoko. When the dream was over: the idea fo a TUFF Puppy RPG game forth. Whether or not it would be made into reality is left to the resources available to me.

So who is this Yoko? Is she the main bad guy? No. She's one of many. In fact she's one of the four elemental type villains: which are in turn one of the major protagonists of the game.

The plot to this story is a ponder ous one. (as with any RPG.) But the main villain is...surprise...Rita. But it's not merely her return. It's her gradually evolving into her own entity. Her evolution is brining about dangerous and vile creatures (the enemies you fight) as well as these four elemental biengs. One of these beings being Yoko: she controls the element of fire.

She has two servants who are soul orbs she is holding in her hands: and they are based loosley off Wanda and Cosmo from FOP. In fact if I could actually do this: this game would make references (numerous ones) to Butch's other creations like FOP and Danny Phantom.

In fact Malmsteen has another Cosmo reference. In her arfm is a Cosmo doll. A doll as a weapon? Well remember Lulu from Final Fantasy X? Same concept really. In fact her dolls are references to characters from FOP and Danny Phantom.

The story and characters and the whole concept of Rita's evolution throwing the world into chaos hasn't really being fleshed out yet. I need to write it out.

But I just wanted to draw what appeared in my dreams.

BTW: Why is the Chameleon or Malmsteen that matter fighting alongside Kitty and Dudley? Well their lives are getting screwed up by Rita too just like everyone else.

So as you clearly see: Final Fantasy seems to be the main inspiration here. The scenario and the options screen (as well as stats) look similar.

But there are many RPGS to draw from. I'm busy on other projects right now so this RPG idea will be shelved for the time being.

Until then: this is a scene from my dream I drew. I am surprised how fresh Yoko turned out. She's a rather neat design if I do say so myself.
