And to finish up noir for a bit, here is the essential femme fatale. She is based upon Gilda, thogh her face turned out a bit more Bacall.
“There ain’t anything more dangerous thing in this world than a dame. They reach inside you and grab your heart, squeezing it ’til they don’t need you anymore. They stroll in and broken men lie in their wakes. Genevieve Porter is one of the worst. She uses her beauty as a weapon, using men as pawns to do her bidding. She’ll never get caught with a gun in her hand, she only needs her face and voice. Both of which make pawns readily available at the Twin Ravens where she sings. When you go to the Twin Ravens, listen and look, but do not touch, for Eve Porter is nightshade, beautiful, but deadly.”
“Halloran came out of the war with a god complex. He realized that behind his rifle, he held life and death in his hands. One little impulse, one squeeze of a finger, and a life ceased. He is like god in that moment. Does he send that impulse and end something or does he not, gracing that life with its survival. He usually does the former as he is paid to play god by those who wish for someone’s cessation of life. He’ll end anyone, men, women, children, politicians, even J Robert Benjamin if he was paid enough. Before his scope all people are equal, just blips on the radar he can stop.“
Thanks and here is Preacher, both with and without background. He is based upon Reverend Harry Powell from Night of the Hunter, a fantastic movie with a very memorable Mitchum.
Preacher is a force of nature, killing those he views as sinners brutally, strangling or beating them with his bare hands. While his hands are around your throat, he quotes scripture, making him seem the embodiment of God’s wrath. He is not above being pointed towards a victim, but those hiring him have to wary, as Preacher has been known to turn on his employers, especially if they sin in front of him.
Thanks!
“Dr. Crane is one cold bastard. He’s Benjamin’s right hand, next to Tommy as his left. Tommy’s a vicious animal and Crane is not what you’d call Elf. He’s a machine, emotionless and logical. Tommy enjoys inflicting pain, cackling as he does it with a monstrous glint in his eye. Crane’s eyes are flat and a smile doesn’t breach his lips. He sees pain as an oddity, something he can study to aid him in his tasks. Tommy inflicts pain without a reason, when Crane causes it, it always is for something, something Benjamin needs.Crane’s skills as a doctor make him perfect for his line of work. He can hurt just as he can heal. He uses a spell surgeons use, they stick their hands in and grab and repair while inside, their hands phantomlike. The good doctor, though, makes his hands semisolid, inflicting immense pain. Then the good doctor removes all trace of his work. In short terms, if he asks a question, you better answer it.“
