KIMZ
Kimz is what you might call a "chill guy". He is rather reckless, devoted, inventive, and extroverted by nature.
He is a 20-year-old orphan who dreams of supassing and becoming the king of rap in place of the person he considers his brother : Rago. The same person who abandoned him to his fate at the orphanage. He thirsts for revenge so that his brother will once again recognize him for who he is.
Kimz has been vey inspired by retro clothes. Each character has a visual element associated to their personality. For Kimz, it's the shark because of its aggressive and reckless temperament.
To create this character design, I worked extensively on the visual representation of the shark with :
- Spikes
- Wavy shapes
- Torn clothing
- shark specific elements (fins, gills, teeth, etc.).
Posing I created for the animation of Kimz in the game.

RAGO
Rago is a 25-year-old young adult and also the current King of Rap in the city.He is rather solitary, distrustful, and sly as a fox. He is a young man who doesn't express himself much except through rap. Unfortunately, he has been corrupted by the world of rap and has a habit of cheating during his battles and not always writing his own lyrics.
I was dreatly inspired by the character of Don Quichotte Doflamingo from One Piece, but also by the fox (its important visual elements). My sketches varied between :
- Puffer jackets
- Spikes reminiscent of fox ears
- Flowing clothes like the fox, which is a light-looking animal that moves discreetly.
Finally, I opted for fur and light clothing for his character design.

STELLA
Stella is a 20 year-old young adult. Kimz and her met at the orphanage after the depart of Rago. She is a quirky girl, but also outgoing and kind-hearted. Thanks to her personality, she has many connections in town and can guide Kimz in his quest for revenge against his brother Rago.
Stella has been very inspired street clothes : baggy clothes with big trainers. With her quirky personality, Stella is associated with the dinosaur.
To create this character design, I worked extensively on the visual representation of the dinosaur with :
- Hairstyle
- Pearls in the hair
- The character's amplitude
