PPD2- character development

Looking at the research and the visual stylings prefered by those who i asked,  i generated a selection of characters. My main idea for the story of the character would be a classic tail of redemption. The male character-
Damius is a somewhat unwilling hero. Brooding and grumpy, he has been forced to give a self destructive life of  drinking, womanising, and fighting for a new found apprenticeship with a man that he hadn't seen since receiving the news of his fathers demise. In truth, Damius is a tragic character, living with the trauma of losing his wife and child due to the warrior way of his race. For that reason, he wasn’t their to protect his family because of his honour bound duty to answer the challenge of a duel. Wracked with guilt, Damius will try to give up his unscrupulous life style to fulfil his destiny. 

 In addition to Damius, i wanted to create a female character for the game that mirrors Damius' agenda and character.

Leeta is also apprenticed to become an elite guard, but her alliance is with Devian, a darker figure than Rutger, that charges her to sabotage Damius’ training and improve her chances of attaining the prestigious accolade of Elite. She is street smart, very fast , and athletic though not as strong as Damius.

Her sister Tashira ( whom trained under Damius’ father) is a high ranking military officer, that taught her at a young age how to fight and survive. However when she was orphaned while still a child, she was taken to a home for foundlings, and sold on to mercenary group. 

I also wanted an aspect of scale, where the villains are much larger than the player characters. Main player characters Damius and Leeta in alternate costumes from what i had originally conceived for the proposal doc i gave to everyone involved, as well as non player characters. Master Rutger is wearing his military uniform, this was suggested to me by someone involved in the game development and so i did and am happy with the result (he does have 2 hands really, just forgot to finish it).

The new faces are Amadorn (far right) who is an Elite guard like Rutger. He was apprentised to Salaxus, and has seen his own apprentise, Nomad become an Elite as well. Scarius (far left) is husband to Anya Garrasus (Rutgers daughter) and once Damius' best friend. However through the course of the trials to be an Elite guard, Scarius and Damius have become rivals for the accolade and Anyas affections...
