The Custom Characters Mod by Kyle is needed for this character. Please follow the instructions there on how to install the mod and how to add characters to your game.
Once again, I have edited another one of the three forgotten characters from Gungeon that are typically unfinished and can only be accessed through MTG. This time, It's The Cosmonaut, a soviet astronaut who died in what I'm guessing was a Vashta Nerada-type way (shoutout to Doctor Who fans who know what I'm rambling about). Because his body was brought to the Gungeon, this cosmonaut is still alive even without flesh, and is presumably in the Gungeon to ammend whatever ended him... whatever that may be. No one can be certain, as skeletons do not have vocal cords. Broken Russian sign language has to suffice.
For this character I have added his icons, foyer and boss cards, a whole ton of missing animations, and punchout shtuff.
The Cosmonaut starts with:
-His signature Russian Makarov (infinite ammo)
-The Moonscraper
-The Jetpack
-Heavy Boots (It is illogical why the Cosmonaut should still be able to perform space jumps and dodges while wearing all his heavy armor and boots. However, it is just as mysterious that literal skeletons can take on the Gungeon.)
He also has some extra stats:
-Slightly decreased movement speed
-Slightly increased accuracy (He has retained his muscle reflexes despite having no muscle left.)
-Only 2 health (Calcium can't help these bones.)
-Three curse (Spooky scary skeletons...)
-Increased dodge roll distance
-Decreased dodge roll speed (His weight somehow tries to mimic the gravity of the moon.)
-Decreased money from enemies (Even in death, Soviet Russia has a communist-like influence over the Cosmonaut. That is to say, he's just poor.)
To play The Cosmonaut, type "character cosmo" in the console, or head to the right of the foyer/breach, where your custom characters that you have installed should appear.
Disclaimer:
Because some people may be sensitive to the idea of a Communist symbol (specifically the sickle and hammer), I have included two files:
The first is titled something like "The_Cosmonaut". This has the Communist symbol on the Cosmonaut's sleeve of the bosscard.
The second is titled like "The_Cosmonaut_alt". The sleeve of the Cosmonaut in the bosscard is instead just colored yellow, and there are no symbols anywhere else.
If you have any concerns/feedback or experience anything missing with the character files, please let me know.
I hope you all enjoy!
