Cuphead

Line 19:

==Origin==

During the game's development, several ideas were brainstormed for the main characters' designs ranging from cats to lightbulbs. The Moldenhauer brothers desired to steer clear of animals seeing as they were quite common in 2D platformers, opting to find a design to call their own. Eventually they turned to inanimate objects and eventually settled on a teacup as the basis for the main characters.

Cuphead lives in the Inkwell Isles with his brother, Mugman, and his caretaker, the Elder Kettle. Despite the Elder Kettle's warnings, the brothers wandered far away from their home and found themselves at the Devil's Casino. Their winning streak impressed the casino's owner, the Devil, who tempted them by betting all of the casino's riches, promising to take away the brothers' souls should they lose. Blinded by greed and ignorant of his brother's warning, Cuphead rolled the dice, but ultimately lost the gamble. With the brothers pleading for their lives spared, the Devil cut a deal with them, letting them live should they retrieve the soul contracts of the debtors who previously gambled with him. After receiving a potion from the Elder Kettle that allowed them to fire bullets through finger snaps, the brothers set off to collect the soul contracts, encountering the Devil's cronies along the way. After Cuphead and Mugman returned all of the contracts, the Devil offers them the choice of handing the contracts to him and have them join his team. After refusing, they defeat the Devil and burn the soul contracts, releasing the debtors from his grasp.
