Influences: The Thug is influenced by modern British gangster movies, each gangster wears hoodies to protect their identity and blend in with crowds with this comes intelligence the gangster inst particularly smart, easily conned and made a mockery of.
This character was influenced by James Bond but be the complete opposite to him in almost every way.


The thugs clothing is mostly torn and dirty symbolizing that she spends the majority of her time on the streets, and that most of her jobs tend to be involving some sort of fight, hence the torn clothing.
Her props back up most of her clothing details, the flip knife proves that she is fairly dangerous, the briefcase however shows some form of sophistication and maybe that is needed to be able to do some transactions. The cigarette she uses puts her character in a self righteous attitude, she doesn't care about anything.

This character is portrayed as sophisticated and calm. he knows exactly what he is doing and is prepared for everything. he also seems to blank out anything not connected with what he is doing ignoring all civilians who walk by, his movements are confident and purposeful.

The bosses clothes show him as very confident or even somewhat arrogant as he is constantly smartly dressed, this can also show him as being very confident in his actions, he possess a gun of which is concealed for only the moments that need it, he is smart enough to know the right time and place for any violence, this is evident in the way he walks he never makes any sudden or unnecessary movements.
