Advent Troopers

Advent Troopers

"Star Wars has the Imperial troopers, and you look at the crest of [the Advent captain's] helmet being a bit more Roman, with that ridge we ran down the top of it from the front. Those are what we were looking at with him, to make him feel more elite, more in that realm. The cape is interesting because the cape, it softens him. It’s a different look. It becomes a little less hard, and also it’s a silhouette breaker for us. We’ve got to consider the three-quarter view of the game as well. When [the captain] moves, [the cape] flows behind him, and it’s a way to break him off from, say, a trooper, not only just color-wise, but shape language. A little bit more recognizable from the regular game view. They are actually fairly similar silhouette-wise. We tried to give him more squared-off shoulders, and a higher collar. We’re pulling all of those pretty common design elements that say 'elite military' from various eras, and kind of combined them together."
