DAX016: Character Lineup!
🕑 Added 2025-10-05 17:27:21 +0000 UTCHello Diamond Hard Patrons! I am excited to show a new and complete artwork for Tropical Storm Dax!
It is a spread with most of the characters that may appear in the project. As the story progresses or evolves, more characters will appear and some will move in the back. But you can see how interesting this mix of people are at the moment.
From left to right are: Big Bro Himbo, Skater Daddy, Lil' Brat, Goth on the Beach, Javi the Personal Butler, Dax the Pro Gamer Protagonist, Lupe the Lifeguard, Crypto Bro, Biologist, Travel Blogger, and Content Editor.
As yet to appear are the two grooms to be Wed, and a possible Surfer. As more suggestion boxes are opened, more characters could appear.
Character writeups will be made for these new guys, so that you can learn more about them. There can be a lot of very interesting dynamics, and so many possible scenarios.
At the moment, I am not particularly happy with the himbo, and I may change his face. I may also change the colour of daddy's hair. Or I could give some characters more tan skin. What are your thoughts right now? Are there things you see that you like or dislike? What to change?
Once I have the character sheets up this month, another roundtable will happen. At that point we can really discuss changes in how to make the characters more interesting, and maybe provide names to the unnamed characters. So please look out for that later!
Also in news, Tropical Storm Dax episode 00 (prologue) will be in a pre-production stage this month, as one more animation project is being made.

In terms of the suggestion, I am thinking the surfer can be a twink spy. Having the classic blonde cali surfer look attracts many interesting people with money, information and power, including the crypto bro. I can imagine it now. The crypto bro vs the travel influencer. New money vs old money. The twink spy/surfer finds a way to the crypto bro through the content creator. Twink spy/surfer uses the content creator's fish out of water story to his advantage. The travel influencer wants a story, so he try to antagonize the crypto bro, bringing the content creator along with him. No far behind will be the surfer spy. Subtly, the surfer spy seduces the crypto bro.

I’ve decided that the Japanese tourist should named Katsuo.
