The Eve Sidekick

on
Best to start thinking about this now. Once Eve starts walking around in stations properly, like all good science-fiction characters, we are going to need sidekicks.


I imagine mine will be a small dragon that wears a patch, cooks my toast, and delivers snappy catchphrases and repeats the last word in almost all of my sentences. "Yark, all my sentences!"


But there will be others of course. The store could be chock full of great choices, like a yammering robot buddy, a dead-eye Duck (with credit to Bucky), a monkey of course, a dwarf (probably Minmatar), and others. The possibilities are limitless really.


But beyond the awesomeness of having a little guy with you in station, what else can a sidekick bring to the party? I think that's it really, party! As a self-running buddy who is always thinking about you, your avatar pal is always working it. Setting up party spots, playing the scene, opening doors that your dour face would never get open... making life in Station fun again.


Plus, if we get to the point where actual gameplay happens in station...watch out! There will be no end to the insane trouble your little buddy can get into. Seriously, the hilarity meter on fun just went thru the roof.


Kidnapped by evil pirates? Only your pal can save you. Need to get into a tight spot, send in the monkey! Imagine the hilarity.


So what would you choose as your sidekick? And what ways can you imagine Eve being so much better with a little buddy to hang out with?


PS: For those of you that don't usually catch on, I'm not being serious here. This is totally sarcastic tomfoolery intended to illicit a humorous response in the reader. Outlandish contrivance is, in some circles, considered humorous or mildly amusing. "Yark, amusing!"
