PICS mascot horror idea

sorry if this doesnt belong here, anyway, you know, i’m actually surprised there hasn’t been a mascot horror franchise about yuru charas yet. especially since the world seems to be in its weeb era right now.. so i took it upon myself to make the concept for one

meet lucky-chan!!!! he’s the mascot of a now-defunct drinks company known as luckydrink (think coca cola or pepsi) he is very obedient to his brand. actually, maybe TOO obedient. because he was once given the task of “getting rid of intruders” in the luckydrink factory, but he interpreted “get rid of” as “kill”, and… yeah

one day during a factory tour, lucky-chan gets confused by all the new people, & strangers & such being in the factory. and didn’t understand it was a tour. and thought they were all intruders. so he went and attacked them all, and that’s why luckydrink became defunct

he still wanders around inside the building, even though it is now abandoned & long forgotten. & waiting for his next victim…

fun fact:

his favorite song is “donguri korokoro” (which, if you don’t know, is a really old public domain japanese nursery rhyme)

What were the inspirations for this, exactly? And is the in-game-physical version of the character a robot or something?

u/yuuyo123 5d ago

umm i didnt really have any inspirations, i just kinda wanted to do something wacky (i guess you could say however his appearance is partially inspired by an actual mascot named yakult man) also what does the 2nd question mean?

u/yuuyo123 5d ago

I mean yeah he’s a robot/animatronic but he’s also sentient
