Okay, here is an idea for either a main character or important npc and the story-line for the game.
A new island has just been discovered far out in the middle of an ocean. Glukkons have ventured there to find new ways to make a profit. Everything on this island has been cut off from the rest of oddworld by the sea and most of its inhabitants are either completely unique species, or completely unique subspecies. When the glukkons arrive, they find a very large amount of fossil fuels and begin forcing mudokons to dig up the fuel. Almost all of the species on the island begin dying out because of new diseases that have been brought over by the evil glukkons. Disease that does nothing to glukkons and muds is completely devistating to the island inhabitants. There is one species of sentient creatures on this island. They are know as (someone else come up with the name...I'm not good at creating good names) and live underground in big colonies. They are able to block off the disease by putting themselves in sealed glass bubbles. They are able to harness the power of spooce to make short flights in the air while in these bubbles, and can roll around. Outside their bubbles, they can dig quickly underground. Rex (or npc name) is one of these creatures. He has been set out drive the glukkons back because he is the only one that was born with enough resistance to still be well even inside his bubble. He is completely safe in his bubble from the disease, but the others are all slowly dieing despite the bubbles. So far, the glukkons know nothing of his race. Abe has been sent to rescue his buddies that are mining in the dangerous conditions. Munch is back at mudos on his own mission to stop the fishing ect, and will join up with abe and rex later if he can because some of the newly born gabbits have been captured and taken to the island. They have been brought there because it is a long term mission for the glukkons and they need lungs to be handy in emergencies.
Sound good? This is just an idea. Any changes can be made if you want.
