So The Cumbria Game Design students of 2014 - 2017 where all given a genre, and yes I was not the lucky sod that got fantasy or sci-fi (those are my babies <3) Lol seriously I didn't which I am glad about because I wanted to do something a little different, my genre being Gangs and Crime. So with that in mind like cops and robbers I firstly decided on what should my character be good or bad, obviously I chose good #toomainstream. Yes that was a hash tag. So establishing that I took a concept of a police force and thought of something like a vigilante police force called the Armed Intervention Initiative (A.I.I). So this is a police force that fight crime with whatever weapon they specialize with. But instead of judging based on situation anyone involved the scene of a crime will meet their fate with something that will cut or shoot their way into their flesh. Fight fire with fire.
- To fight monster we must become monsters even if it means abandoning our humanity - Armin Arlert - Attack on Titan.
So now we have a little back story on what I wanted my character to be involved in I drew 5 different initial ideas where the character was different in each picture with their own personality traits all inspired by other heroes from other video game/ movies but with a more Daniel J Stanley touch... and glitter. So simply I wanted the character to have a little bit of swerve, or style to his stance and outfit, hence the huge ass coats and collars. The stances of each character gives of a symbol of their characteristics, giving them a bit more individuality.

| The left character was an idea of basic english undercover cop with the typical leather jacket. The center character was inspired by the arrow. Cheers I know the artwork with him is 10 times better |
 |
| So on the left we have the stereotypical american detective with the trench coat. The centre was an military crossed with detective look hence the waist coat and cargos. The lazy shit on the left was more of John Mc'lain inspired with that carefree persona. Must admit he's cool. |
So I went for the hooded bad ass dude. What was next I decided to give this set of articulated pencil lines some personality and a bit of a back story.

| Me stringing some ideas together to get some sort of personality drawn together |
So I stole the middle name from a friend for this, this is Darcy I wanted a name that isn't a regular name as this ouch of the bunch of ideas I had had the most character, and c'mon Darcy the ninja dude. SO, I decided to give him the back story of his family being killed in his young teens, and he sought revenge which he claimed but wanted to do more for the society he lived in, making it a safer place. However he finally got his revenge by killing the murderers, now what's interesting about this although he claimed his vengeance, it wasn't enough so he helped form the Armed Intervention Initiative with a few other members to justify his love for claiming the lives of those who tamper with innocent lives or the graceful society he dreams of building. He is practically emotionless unless he is slicing the shit out of some street thug with his fine blade or shooting the living daylights out of gang-bangers, those will be the only times he will be smiling or even laughing, so yes this character is bit of a "goody too messed up"
His role within the A. I. I is to go undercover and workout crime before they happen, protection through prevention. He also does a lot of intervention through stealth and assassination style killing. Making him the spy, there is a reason to the hood!

| Someone's been hitting Primark like a boss, serious these are some clothing designs I made. The middle is just a trench coat/ hood instead of basic hoodie. The GEEZA on the right is a more hero based look, cape, armour no hood, yes this guy has a face. |
 |
| Just concept art to give the idea what he is like in combat |
 |
| His inventory, he uses 4 tomahawks, a U.S.P handgun/ silencer and a katana sword His boots have springs attach which connect to his ankles which allow him for high jumps/landings Also he has seen the lovely day of combat with all them scars on his body |
So now my lovely people we have his base image, his back story, his personality, his outfit, his inventory and even a show reel of his skills for future employment in the policing career, so there is one final thing to do, the final product a synopsis.
Darcy the enforcer who carries the lust for blood of those inherit the name of villainy, sweeps the shadows and strikes before crime has a chance to retaliate. If you want a fight, he'll bring a war. The only thing keeping him sane is the dream for street peace and the flowing existence of thuggery. - narrator of the game or me..
So to finish off, here are the final finished drawings of my sketchy creation.
