Character Details

My character of choice will be a vigilante among the sufferers of the great depression of the 1930s. He is a warrior, a veteran. He's been in a fair amount of conflicts, his clothes and appearance is rugged. He wears a scruffy rag around his head to hide his identity, his outfit is iconic in appearance and it blows in the wind.

Some of his clothes are leather, such as his boots and gloves. The rest is fabric, mostly cloth. The color of the clothes aren't anything fancy, they are plain brown and green. the coat he wears is muddy, mud has been kicked up by his large leather knee height boots.

Idea for soldier

-Soldier- (ideas)

idea 1.

Solder in his rich clothes that have become dirty because he has no money, he still has his grubby boots, soldier is foolish, lacks intelligence. The soldier has ‘lords clothes’ (grubby) with his soldiers uniform hanging out of his large backpack. The weapons are still on his back. (He seemed to be a person who keeps hold of his possessions; he hoards his ‘junk’. (I came to this conclusion because he is greedy and has demonstrated that he will carry as much as possible when he was collecting treasure).

Also I think the soldier should be in the explosives regiment, it might help to portray his violent personality.

Outfit will include Military uniform mixed with clothes he bought to look ‘rich’.

idea 2.

The soldier is in the police force, he has a kind of polies uniform on, he. The outfit he wears is a mixture of a cloth and metal protective pads. His weapon is not a sword but a hybrid kind of revolver. Life is set in a different universe, but the clothing/equipment remain similar to that of our 1930s.
