Gameplay
-Takanuva's level 1 weapon is a recreation of his Chronicler's Staff which shoots orbs of explosive light at enemies
-Takanuva's level 2 weapon is his Kohli Staff, based on Tattorack's model and then expanded by us, which fires a stream of light energy that quickly reduces enemies to scrap

This is awesome! I love Takanuva, so cool to have him in the game. Only thing I wonder is if he'd make more sense over Vezon, maybe that could be an option?
Perhaps! Personally I was thinking it'd be cool if he was with you the whole game, but Vezon could also make sense as an unlockable :)
