Character Idea/Ivan (Ukraine) LN

**Ivan** is an idea by Landoman9582. Ivan is the 40th character in Head Basketball and was added in Update 2.4 in October 2020. He represents Ukraine and his power shots are based on Chernobyl, the power plant that exploded in 1986.

## Appearance

Ivan seems to be a normal man until you get to the other side of his face. On one side of his face is a normal face, with brown spiky hair and a normal green eye. His entire nose is normal as well, along with him having a stubble and a smiling face, along with a small ear. On the other side of his face however, radiation has turned his skin neon green and caused it to grow out, covering his hair. He also has an eye on his forehead and part of his skull is showing.

## Ability Shots

### Air Shot (Radiation Shot)

First, Ivan grows into a gigantic green monster who is oozing out like acid. He starts his air shot by throwing three different barrels of radioactive waste at the opponent. One barrel is red, one green, and one yellow (thrown in random order). After this Ivan will put his hands out and launch a beam of acid at the goal. If an opponent is hit by the beam, he/she will dissolve into acid. The acid beam will also contain the ball at the front.

### Ground Shot (Acid Dunk)

The first thing Ivan does in this shot is again turn into the giant green monster. He will proceed to throw a barrel at the opponent. Then, he will move forward moderately, oozing acid out of him while he does it. Once again, the acid will cause the opponent to dissolve into acid. After he does this, he will reach his arm out and dunk the ball into the basket.

### Counter Attack (Acid Launch)

Ivan once again turns into the monster again, while the acid continues to ooze out from his chest. Ivan will, after doing this, put both of his hands out like in his air shot. After this he will launch a beam of acid from his hands. If touched, the acid will dissolve the opponent. The ball will be launched at the front of this beam of acid.

## Court

Ivan's court is the inside of a power plant that has been destroyed. The walls are grey, and it is night outside and you can see a crescent moon through a window. There are multiple barrels of nuclear waste laying around everywhere, spilled and all. There are no people in this court because of how unsafe it would be to have people in the court. The floor is black with neon green lines.

## Unlock Requirements

Win the Superstar League while scoring 400 points or unlock for 3,800,000 points.

## Costume

### Arcade Costume

Ivan's arcade costume is a normal outfit (half of which is infected by radiation). Half of the hat is just a red hat with a white logo on it (a D, presumably saying D&D Dream), while the other half is the same hat but turned green and oozing out slime. One arm is a normal red sleeve, while the other is a green sleeve with oozing slime. One foot is just a sneaker, while the other is a green sneaker with oozing slime.

### Championship Costume

Ivan's championship costume is a hazmat suit. The mask is essentially a yellow cylinder with some wrinkles around it, and it also has a black visor at the front. His arms are yellow sleeves with a black glove, while his feet are black boots. It is called the Ivan Hazmat Mask, Ivan Hazmat Gloves, and Ivan Hazmat Boots.

## Campaign Story

## Trivia

* Ivan is based on the idea that people can be physically changed by the radiation form the Chernobyl disaster.
* Ivan's costume is based on the fact that people use hazmat suits when exploring radiated areas.
