Valentine Productions (Saints Row 2)

[Bou]

I'm aware GCW is in its final month, but I'm just now starting to come back around to dwelling on forums and figured I should be no stranger to this one, even if it is in its final month, so, I decided to bring over a thread I've made at a couple other sites, or have posted in.. and that's a creation thread of my Saints Row 2 characters.

I'm aware that there isn't as much depth in the creation mode as say, the Smackdown series, but it is pretty good and has some nice variety. Most of, if not all, of my OWN (no not a plug to Bryan's site lol) creations are from role playing or stories I've written or am writing. Nerdy I know But... hell, you're all nerds with me so ha! XD

Please take note that this is the PS3 version in case any of you ever wanted to co-op or something. Though, as I've told Kyle/Kim Hunter before, and as 187 has seen, our router, sucks.

Too many people in this house, the wireless phone interferes with the wireless router signal for some reason, that I have not yet figured out as to why it does. Anyone that has smarts in electronics please tell me why. o.O

My comp is immune as it is plugged directly into the router through a wire. Anyway, phone rings = throws anything feeding off the wireless connection offline. As well as if more than a few people (a lot of people live here. -_-) are online, it lags to no end.

Anyway... lets kick it off.

Up first and the only one as of this post is Rin Takara Natsukawa or Rin-kara as she prefers to be called. She has quite an innocent look about her but that doesn't change the fact she is completely ruthless. I mean, she smashed a guys skull in with a sledgehammer before. lol

One of her flaws is that she is completely paranoid of people, aside from her brother and a few close friends, and is always wondering when they are going to turn on her, which leads to her killing or severely injuring her own friends at times due to that. Going from this alone, its clear she will not trust a stranger at all.

As for her dress style, I've never really had her wear anything extravagant in anything I've used her in, so, I went for a simple yet effective look for her on Saints Row 2, utilizing one of the small shirts to show off the tattoo on her back as well.

The car featured in the picture with her is "Justice" and it has become the car I use for her the most on the game. I'm not sure why exactly, it just has.

I'll try and get more of my characters up at a later time. Also, sorry about the third picture, I didn't realize it until after recording that the lighting was pretty bad.

And yes I morphed the face myself, I realize in the pictures the eyebrows are a little high up, but during cutscenes they seem to be lower... Not sure why but yeah. lol

Simply known as Mickey by his peers, he is a tall, well-built man. Standing at a good 6'6'' and weighing a decent 270 lbs. Sadly you can't adjust height on the game due to certain cut scenes requiring characters to reach for something an exact distance away.

He is a character I made simply as fodder in a story (aka a character made solely to die) once upon a time, but since then has evolved. He's big, tough, and has a thick New York accent, often replacing the "R" in words for an "H". Car becomes cah and so on and so forth.

Despite his size and intimidation factors, he is always an underling in anything I use him in, usually to people much smaller than him. Why? Mickey is big and tough, yes, and can take a pounding. But he has little to no charisma so his quality for leadership is crippled by that and he often acts as the body guard to the leader or if not that, simply "Dumb Muscle" for the people he works under.

Despite working with gangs and being in bandit organizations in stories and RPs, he always has his own dress style. Instead of following the crowd in wearing "gang" colors and such, he chooses to dress sharp in suits and polished leather shoes, making him seem more like a business man than a ruthless killer.

The car featured in the pictures with him is the car I've chosen to be his. Its name is "Hammerhead" and, honestly, I'm not sure why I chose it. It looks to be an older model car, but expensive looking at the same time (though not as expensive looking as some of the other cars on the game) and it just seemed like it would fit the big guy.

His facial hair contains a mustache from the 2nd DLC Pack, I can't remember the exact name of it but yeah and as of right now, he is the only character I've given a "Facial Expression" to. Most I leave "Blank" but I gave him the "Disgusted" facial expression to help get the thug/dumb muscle look down.
