Damned and hero orths

Bobby Drake early on in his cause to earn back his soul and save the 'Sin City'

Another damned who hasn't moved on, she will task you with solving her last wish so that she is free to pass over.

The 'Saint Bobby Blues'

This is an example of the overall sound i'd like to have for the game and sort of inspires the title.
it's a bit corny but i'd like it to be the title of a song so its to be called 'Saint Bobby Blues' or the 'Ballad of Saint Bobby'

Damned Character Final

My original intent was that she was tipping her hand to let the blood roll off her wrist, but a friend pointed out that she looked as if she was pushing her self round a corner as if she was rearing for a fight.

Devil Character Final

Hero Character Sheet Final

The Story goes in its final draft that you (Bobby Drake) are a blues musician at the top of his field, yet you have never made it big, something that you are eager for. Now your time is being cut short as you have been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour. You go to great lengths to find an answer to your problem but soon you come to terms with your finale. One night you drunkenly stumble across a crossroads outside of the city, there you meet a man who tells you he can give you your time back. You see this as your opportunity to live again and fulfil your dream of becoming a famous musician.

The next day you wake up in your bed as if nothing happened, last nights events a drunken blur. You spend the next couple of weeks performing in bars and getting your name out there, and your close to signing a deal when tragedy strikes. Your brother has been pronounced dead, the cause an undiagnosed brain tumour.
You're distraught by the events and you visit his wife and child who are in mourning. During the visit you see an apparition of your brother appear, he forgives what you have done claiming that he'd of given his life for you but ask that you do one thing in return. He tasks you with delivering a letter he had made if this particular event ever arose to his daughter and wife. With his final wish completed he can move on to the other side but not before warning you of the devils intent.

He makes it very clear that if you do not earn back your soul you will spend an eternity in the devils playground being tormented and punished for your sinful ways. You embark your services upon the 'sin-city' finding information in bars and helping those who have been in conflict with the devil and the tormented.
You meet a priest who aids you in your quest by blessing objects you can use for combat and distributing missions for you to complete. In the end you break the hold the Devil has upon the 'Sin-city' and earn your right back into heaven.

Bobby Drake: Demon Hunter

Character sheets progression

Settling on the name Bobby Drake.
His character is a relatively calm one aiding with task that include  helping ghost move onto the other side.
At this point his design is quite formal and smart, i believe this his his attempt of trying to make it big as a musician thus indulging his greed by buying fancy clothing. Later on his look will deteriorate into a more gruff look. 

This version of the damned is obviously out of there mind, with contorted poses and tortured facial expressions.
Blood is smeared all over her clothes and body to show the frenzy in her actions.

Character Sheets WIP

The Damned Orthographic

This version of the Damned is highly influenced by the film 'The Exorcist' with the character being possessed by a demon. I believe in the film that it's implied that it is the devil who possessed the girl, but in my game i see the devil as thinking that kind of thing is below him and has a lesser demon take control of the girl.

Her body is covered in cuts to the point where she is losing a lot of blood, if she wouldn't die from this then i believe she would succumb to septicemia. This could play into the game with a morale decision of whether you put her out of her misery or the more honourable version which would include exorcising the demon and rushing her to hospital in vein hope that she would survive.

Protagonist Orthographic

Haven't got a name for him yet. Thought about calling him bobby since bob is short for robert (Robert Johnson)
I think something corny like Bobby Moon, since it sounds like a show name / crazy mans name.  

This design comes from later in the game when the effects of messing with the devil are taking there toll on the hero. He begins to care less about his appearance and starts to look more rugged with his hair and beard grown to a considerable length.

The Devil turnaround

The Devil is going to be a bit of a sadistic character but on the surface he'll come across as more of a businessman that always have an ulterior motive, no matter what he promises there is always a benefit on his side. I think this will reflect with the end of the game, the devil will win but it's just a matter of how much you let him win.
