This week I want to take a look John Marston, the main protagonist from "Red Dead Redemption" (2010) by Rockstar Games. Ok now I wouldn't go as far as saying he's a positive role model for kids but his story is extremely relatable for all gamers. The word that I want to focus on is redemption. Here's a guy who was an outlaw and gets betrayed by his former gang and left for dead. Realizing his past mistakes and old lifestyle, he sets out to make things right and hunt down his three former gang members and bring them to justice. Everyone can relate to this because we all have done things in our past that we're not proud of and seek to make things right. We all hope for redemption.
Heather, the main protagonist of "Silent Hill 3" (2003), does a great job of representing an average teenage girl. Her hair is not nice and neat all the time and her face is filled with freckles. Sato Takayoshi, character artist for the survival horror game Silent Hill (1999), explains his thought process for designing characters with emotion and ambiguity. He explains:
If you are attracted to a woman, she is not perfect. You love her because she is human and has character. That character has bad points as well as good points.
