Finalized Idea

After doing a bit of thinking I have now settled on an idea that incorporates my red panda animal as picked last post after going to the zoo. Basically the idea is that my character is a genetically modified red panda. Scientists developed him as part of a project titled "Ice". They wanted to see if they could turn the red pandas weakness into a strength. Red Panda's cant stand the cold so they developed one to be able to live in these conditions with ease. Unfortunately those in charge pulled the plug on the project and the lab was shut down, the panda abandoned. Now the poor little guy is stuck lifeless within what's left of the lab. He can't leave as he needs to stay within his ice enviornment. If he were to leave he would die. But he is also not doing so well as he needs to be kept charged up as he was never finished to the point where he can live and cope on his own. This is where the user input comes into play. They see the panda on screen, very dozy, suffering. In front of the user is a type of switchboard that acts as the controls of the panda. If the right areas are pushed - and held, panda will jump start and come back to life, happy. If the wrong areas are pushed though, this wrong combination will unfortunately hurt the panda and you will wind up increasing his suffering. If nothing is pushed at all and you leave him be just as the scientists did, then panda will continue to try get up and move but with no energy, collapse.
