I had a really fun time designing this set of minor characters and coming up with interesting quest descriptions. I never understood why in so many fantasy games the side quest related NPCs are completely boring and forgettable. It was also a fun design challenge to keep these guys within a similar color family but allow them each a specific scheme. I tried to keep things cohesive by using a blue or green main color with warm accents on every character.
In troll culture, personal expression is held as the highest virtue. They see it as a moral duty for all trolls to bedazzle themselves with a signature personal style, despite the fact that most trolls are extremely poor. In my hypothetical urban fantasy game that only exists in my imagination, you as the player would spend a good portion of the game in the district inhabited by trolls since it is the epicenter of conflict in the city.
Stay tuned for the next set of human NPCs!

Reading through your character descriptions is endlessly entertaining. Amazing work!
