Characters

I decided to come up with some quick ideas on characters, using illustator. First thing is I dont want to spend too much time into developing the characters as thats not the main of my project and at the end of the project if I use them I will only be using them for cutscrenes and for the style Im going for, the silhouette aproach works well for the charcters. I decided there will be 3 members of the gang that are terrorizing the city through crime. Ive took influence from graphic novels in creating these characters, most notably the dude of The Watchmen who wears the mask and wanted a similar personally that chracter has, one of mystery got will also get the job done. I wanted the idea that you will never see there face's, and they al wear similar outfits, demonstarting a tight unity, Of cause dressed in all black as there the bad guys and you represent that with black, and the fact its perfect for stealth and moving around umspotted at night. However the only difference from the outfits is the slight colour and symbol representation as shown below.

Firstly we have The Boss, as with all bosses he is obsessed with one thing, at thats money and more money. He's a character who will put money before friends and family as demonstarting in the story where his plan is to frame you. Of cause I represent him with the dollar sign and the colour green for money.



Secondly we have the Brains of the group, He's the charcter who comes up with all the plans and stradegys for plans. However unlike the other 2 he does ocasionly show signs of guilt and emotion, and is not as effective in combact. I rpresented him with a question mark sign as out of the 3 hes the most mysterious and of cause hes the one the otheres turn to if they need a problem solving.



Finally we have the combat specialist of the group, hes a member whos in your face always wanting to resolve things with violence, He fears nothing and is always the first to enter the fights and normally always wins. I represented him with the exclamation Mark emphasining the impact he has and how dangerous he is. Obviously the use of red is a sign of danger and anger which suits him well.



As for the character in which the player will be using. I dont think im going to show him, if I do it will be in a sililar vein towards the characters above, as he is a hitman, so that kind of suit and tie steriotype however I might go for a white suite to difference himself from above as the story goes he gets framed so it kinds of contast himself from them however we shall see.
