Task 6: Heroes and Villains

This task was to practice aesthetic, posture and colour to differentiate antagonists and protagonists.

I was unable to attend this lesson, so I didn't learn everything, but used my own understanding of the differences to influence my design.

My protagonist is a cyborg named Aaron who was abducted by the antagonist Doctor Mandeleev to prototype an army that could be controlled by him in secret. He was surgically fused into his armour, which gave him not only the ability to take a large amount of punishment, but allowed him to defy gravity and camouflage himself. He was meant to be desensitised to the outside world so that he wasn't aware of what he was doing or act on his own judgement. He woke up and escaped, crippling Mendeleev. Because he was exiled, he spent his days awakening or destroying the ungraded humans.



Doctor Mendeleev was a partly robotic scientist who believed that people like him were superior, and intended to create an army of robotic soldiers that couldn't act on their own judgement. These were to be distributed to countries to replace the state army and security forces. He would then throw a killswitch that would turn them all to his control rather than the countries who bought into the program.

Aaron was abducted and upon realising Mendeleev's intentions escaped, destroying the doctor's organic arm. He would go on to create more prototypes, each more powerful than the previous to disable Aaron.
