Animatic Characters

The scene itself is set on 'Level 2' it is about one of the many ending machines scattered around the city for citizens to collect food from. This is done by scanning your hand ID code and then the machine will deduct an amount of credits from your accound and then deposite food.

The Characters






The Mother The mother represents the masses. She is a poor downtrodden woman clutching her child to her bedraggled breast while she desperatly tries to get food for her family. At first she is pushed aside by the 'Pimp' and makes no effort to resist him, seeing that he has successfully gotton food she tries to aquire some herself. Alas she is too poor to support her family in the overcrowded city and cannot purchase any food and runs off weeping into the night.






The Pimp The pimp represents the unsavoury crime characters that are prevelant in the city. he is clearly rich and also a little fatter than the other characters showing that he can afford to eat well. With his body gaurds, fine jewellery and fancy clothes I think he has some kind of goverment position which he freely abuses to remain above the local citizenry.





The Rogue The Rogue represents the citizens forced into a life of desperation, to desperate to remain just a citizen and not influencial enough to maintain any position of power. This character is showing the much darker side of the city, clearly on top of basic crime, injustice and starvation there is murder or mutilation aswell. I would not like to speculate what happened to the rest of 'The Hands' owner but I am pretty sure some other people ate well for at leste one evening.

Alternative Fat Stan

Fat Stan in some colourful glory.


He will not be above having to get his hands dirty now he lives in 'Level 1'...

Check out those fancy trousers.

Fat Stan

The Character Fat Stan is an informant character for the detectice. In 'Level 1' he will have his own little relm of power where he is the king. The idea behind him is that he was some buisness man from 'Level 3' that maybe got involved in unsavoury buisness that stepped on the goverments toes a little too much. Our detective helped him escape with some assets to 'Level 1' and go into hiding (A much better option that winding up dead). Thanks to this the detective has earnt himself a powerful ally although maybe one that he cannot risk overusing.

'Level 1' will be filled to the brim with starving people, Fat stan will maintain his huge gurth as a status symbol. Only a truely rich and powerful man in 'Level 1' can afford to be quite so plump.


Although a long way off, I imagine Fat Stans demise to be and the hands of some unsavoury disgruntled 'Level 1' crime families and he will be be hacked apart and canibalised. Poor guy.

The Detective

The key protagonist is a generic film noir detective. Although he will be an alcoholic, past his prime and overweight.
