Roger Rana! Codename: Riversnapper! — Description
Former crook and the muscle of the Wild Bunch. Roger Rana, known by his codename Riversnapper, lived his entire life as a criminal in the urban jungles of Amazodon City where he thrived on being the toughest bloke in the neighbourhood. Even in his teens, he was always a delinquent, getting himself into whatever possible crimes he could get away with. Though he was eventually kicked out by his own parents, he made himself a new family with lawbreakers just like him, at least that's what he thought. Roger, his companion Boarigus and the rest of his would-be former criminal team Rogue Element eventually made a name for themselves as they continued to pillage and terrorise people for fun and profit. But his criminal days would end abruptly. After a failed bank heist, by the state police while his former comrades had forsaken him. For 15 years, he endured that harsh reality of isolation as he reflect on the path of destruction he had caused, all the lives he had harmed, it all came to him like a mountain of daggers. For the first time, he felt weak and pathetic. He vowed to never fall into that criminal life again, after he was released from prison, but people only saw the criminal in him. But after accepting to be a part of Pete and Greg's ragtag group to save Safarion from the forces of evil, he realised that this would be the redemption he so desires, a chance to enter society once again. With his teeth bared and ready for some chomping, this red bellied piranha is ready for some action.

Another redesign from my buddy Cliffjumper727 . This one was another I thoroughly enjoyed, despite being easy. Originally, Cliffy wanted Roger to still wear his prisoner outfit to hint the fact that he was a criminal, however I suggested that Roger would be more suited to wear a jacket since it would make him look tougher and intimidating. I also suggested the cigar in his mouth since it shows a little bit of his sour and bitter personality. Not sure how to put it, I just enjoyed drawing this piranha and the concept of this character is interesting. I always love a character that seeks redemption for any crime he/she commits because it makes them more human, so to speak.
