my latest blog task for resarch, deciding the three points


For this week we are given the task of deciding what a anthropomorphic characters i am going to pick and the question I am going to address with Its 3 points.

I have already deiced on what character before the update which was Wheatly from Portal 2 since I felt he was one of the most diverse characters in video games in resistant years and there are so many aspect's to talk about him considering he is only an giant robotic eye.

However, Wheatly was not my only choice since there are many other anthropomorphic in video games like.

Donkey Kong from varied 'Nintendo' titles
Bowser,Yoshi,Goombas, Boos, Bullet Bills, Koopa troopers and many other minions from the 'Mario' series
Conker, The Great Might Poo and most of the cast from 'Conker's Bad fur day'
The Dragons from 'Elder scrolls five Skyrim'
The Argonians and Khajiit from the 'Elder scrolls' series
Most of the cast of the 'Sonic' series but mostly Shadow and Sonic
All of the 'pokemon' series but mostly interested in Gangar, Mewtwo, Lugia, Metagross,Wailord and of course Pikachu.
Mr Handy, Mr Gusty, Button Gwinnett, Doctor's Mobius, Klein, Borous, Dala, O, 8, The appliances at the 'Sink' and Securitron but mainly Victor and Muggy from the fallout Series
Dexter from the Jack and Dexter series.
Cait sith, Red XIII, Moogles from final fantasy 7
The cast of Star fox
Ratchet and Clank from the Ratchet and Clank series
Lizard Man from the SoulCalibure series
Most of the cast from Crash Bandicoot series
Sam and Max from the Sam and Max series
Link in wolf form and Ganon from legend of zelda twilight princess
The Heartless and Sora in Cub form in Kingdom Hearts 2
Kuma and Panda from the Tekken series
Kirby, King Dedede and Meta Knight from the Kirby series
Mrk2 and Peace Walker from the Metal Gear Solid Series
GLaDOS, Wheatly, Cake Core, Fact Sphere, Adventure Sphere, Space Sphere, Turrets, P-Body and Atlas from the portal series.
Sackboys, Clive, Eve, The negativron and The collector from the Little Big planet series
Deathwing, Worrgen's, Panderen's, Tauren's and Murloc's from World of Warcraft
The Birds and Pigs from Angry Birds
Earthworm Jim from Earthworm Jim
The Worms from the Worms series
Poseidon in his ocean form and Gaia from God of War series
and The cast of Slycooper series.

out of all of these Charters my final ones were

The points I find important for anthropomorphic characters
.Personality and emotions
.Communication and interaction
.movement and body language
.awareness of surroundings
.personal possessions, Clothes, Items, Weapons, homes... etc
.purpose of being
.relationships
.interaction with objects and others
.able to think and act interdependently

Out of these points the 3 most important in my opinion are

.Personality because it helps to relate the ordinance help to show what the character is not an simple tape recording or pixel but they are a living thing

.Interaction with other characters, objects and environment because it help to shows that this character actually exist in it's universe and its level of awareness and knowledge of that universe.

. Interdependent thought, opinion and actions which could be the most important one because it shows level free will and determinate the reason behind the actions for example one character can impulsive and thinking of no one else without thinking of the consequences and a other character might be forced into doing something they don't want to do with blackmailed or out of duties. This helps to look inside the character mind and to understand how they are and why they are hear. Which in opinion turns a thing into a Person.

I will base the structure on these 3 points on Wheatly. Which is what I might base my question on 'What makes an Thing into a Person?' since that what anthropomorphism is, the transition of making an animal or thing and making it into human.
