Deconstructing Characters

Daddy Moarbucks

An Ominous Shadow

This shadow describes Moarbucks in a variety of ways. The shadow represents the side of the being where light is not present, hinting at the presence of evil. A shadow can also have a dramatic effect on whatever it is cast on. In much the same way, whatever comes near Daddy Moarbucks becomes lethargic and timid, cowering at his might. Unlike with most shadows though, the one that emanates from Moarbucks does not have a light at its source. Instead, his shadow exudes out from him on all sides simultaneously.

Shades of Gray

These shades of gray describe the enigmatic and mysterious side of Daddy Moarbucks. Black is a somewhat nondescript color, but there is more to Moarbucks than just evil. He has wiles. He's cunning, ruthless, and manipulative like a snake. He can be one of many variations of the same ideal whenever he wants. Even though he does have these varying shades, he is still evil when it comes down to it. Most of what is known about Moarbucks is shrouded in mystery, and his simple color scheme alludes to that. Even if one may quickly get a glimpse of him, he is just as soon obscured once again.

An Imposing Chimney

This image represents Daddy Moarbucks' imposing shape. Much like this chimney, he looms over his surroundings. He is a tall and slender figure, much like the skyscrapers in the cities he runs. However, unlike those skyscrapers (of which many have comparable heights), no person can come even close to matching his power, which is why this image is such a good visual descriptor. Like the chimney lording over the tiny sugar plantation, Moarbucks has full purview over his immediate surroundings, especially the plebeians under his iron fist.

Hank Hall

Light On All Sides

Framed by light on all sides, an object will not have a shadow. In much the same way, Hank Hall does not have a shadow at all. This is one of the few things that separates him from the common man. In most other respects, he is a completely normal character, but when it comes to radiance, he outshines the rest. having not a single evil bone in his body, Hank Hall is the embodiment of good. He is motivated to do what is right, come Hell or high water. It is unclear whether the light emanates from his figure or simply follows him around; all that is evident is that wherever Hank Hall is, light can also be found.

Orange and Blue

This complimentary color scheme is both appealing to the eye and rather commonplace. the orange of his hard hat and undershirt and the blue of his denim overalls are symbols of hard work and, to an extent, honesty. Synonymous with the protagonist, this heroic color scheme also appears in Hank's home and family. When juxtaposed with Daddy Moarbucks' monochromatic color scheme, Hank's orange and blue attire gives him a certain depth of character and emotion that would otherwise be absent. This, in turn, makes him a very likable character.

Brick Wall

Hank is the embodiment of the corn-fed, hardworking, Midwestern ideal. He has a boxy shape from working construction and while not seeming imposing or intimidating, he certainly commands a certain amount of respect. The amount of strength he possesses is often belied by his mild temperament and kind demeanor. A brick wall also takes time, precision, and hard work to build properly, and this speaks to Hank's work ethic. He knows how to work for his pay, and likewise will not stop until the evil Daddy Moarbucks is put in his place.
