Figured I'll sketch down a few mooks for future reference. Not so important as characters, but every time I need some goons (like REAL SOON), I can just throw a few of them in. Basic idea was to make them comical, grotesque and threatening at the same time. I wanted a leader figure, possibly with previous fighting experience. The guy with the machette is the one who takes this role, still carrying what appears to be the remains of a uniform of some sort. I also needed a masisve thug, and since I wanted to get some more non-human characters, an orc seemd like the ideal choice. He's also carrying a crowbar as an improvised weapon for a specific reason. Adding a stupid looking, large brute also seemed like a good idea. For some odd reason, I nicknamed him 'Kerrek'. The next two are basically slum-dwellers, with deformations meant to reflect their living conditions. The woman sitting in the front was meant to resemble a veteran street hooker (believe it, I've seen a lot of these 'ladies'). The "sex bomb" shirt was a sick joke on my part. Basically these guys are exaggerated, grotesque versions of the low-class criminal element you'd see on trials on a daily basis. A good advice, should yo even come to Romania. Steer clear of anyone looking like this. Trust me.
