So, here comes the continuation of the idea I was working on. Before starting on the story, I want to write a very important point about character introduction. If you have seen The Dark Knight, you know how well they introduced the joker in that film. How he made each of his workers subject to their own greed and vice and in doing so showed why he is so much better than your average con man, seeing that he was in with the crew itself which would be anything, but safe.
So, the importance, when it comes to introducing a character is to reflect not only their personality, but what makes them special. It is vital not only to make it slightly spectacular, but also to make sure that the cinematography surrounding it as well manages to compliment that. Now, it does not have to paint a character like superhuman in any way, but it has to really have a solid foundation which supports the characters personality.
So, now we are in the prison complex. These prisons only live on minimal hygiene and maximum security. They have a huge problem with disease, but they are controlled by prison violence. Each cell has a 'leader' sponsored by the guards. A violent hierarchy and any sick or unable would be disposed of quickly. Endless pits that the offending prisoners would be thrown into. In other words, imagine everything wrong with a prison, and you get the picture. So, the protagonist and sub-protagonist are escorted into a meeting room. Upon entering on the opposite side of the bullet proof glass near two soldiers. The atmosphere here is very dusty, with a red tint too the dust. He asks the soldiers to be left alone, one of the soldiers seems to follow things by the book and declines while the other soldier is more keen to listen in on the offer as he wants to take a break. The old man, or 'old wise class' man as he currently is labeled, whispers something into the ear of the soldier that wants to go. The soldier then approaches the soldier which refused to move, grabs his shotgun like weapon and in one swift move fires it towards the head of that same officer. Shortly after this he recives a single gold coin, which again underlines the level of loyalty they have towards their job compared to the loyalty they have for money. He then leaves the room, which makes the Protagonist and sub-protagonist alone with this new character. They make it known that they are known associates, the old wise man once found himself in the same trouble as the protagonist now finds himself in. It ends with the old wise man standing up, giving what looks like a small wrench of some kind and saying he is going to get some air. Leaving the protagonist and sub-protagonist alone.
Now, what occurs right after this of course is that after a short period in the prison, the protagonist manages to find a vent that goes into the what seems to be a ventilation system, one which showed various events downstairs in the prison food chamber. Needless too say it was disgusting, as well as putting the tone on what was going on for the newly arrived. Not a pretty sight to say the least. They continue on through the hazardous machinery, yet they encounter something unexpected on the way. The sidekick character, one slightly shorter than the protagonist, but looking kind of starved is in one of the corners, judging from his appearance, he could only have been there for a couple of days. However, he halts the protagonists as they approach him since there is hallway close too him, he throws what seems to be a loose pebble of some kind towards them, and it gets shot to pieces right in front of them. The protagonist sees this, and manages to align the reflection of a nearby metal plate. He then throws the wrench into the path of theautomatic sentry gun, knocking it to the side. They now continue outwards towards the prison camp. They find a sewer entrance which takes them closer too a waterfall, they manage to climb the treacherous mountains and near the end, there, they are surprised to see the 'old wise man' character waiting for them.
