Character profile #2: Dwight and Dean Damascus

[nicchus]

To say that the toughest and most feared duo in the City's recent history are nothing but violent thugs is both disturbingly accurate and a bit off the mark. It's true that their unprecedented mean streak and unparalleled protection from any outside interference (both criminal and lawful) give them a certain sense of notoriety and utter fear. If

I like the idea that they can be paid off by their victims too, showing that they really aren't loyal to anyone, even their employer. I feel, that the story might develop some loyalty issues between the duo themselves, or I could be totally offmark by feeling that.

I like the coincidental almost same tattoo thing, my only issue with it, is the placement of it, which kind of reeks of The Boondock Saints a little bit.

Also, some of your descriptions, could be used as good narrative pieces in your movie. Like your first paragraph, that is, if your movie has narrative pieces in it at all.

Noted.

Don't worry. it won't be a cross, and it won't be on their wrists. The loyalty between the dup is something I've not thought about although it could make for an interesting segment. I'll definitely think it over once things are panning out a bit more.

I think I'm getting into this whole creation thing a bit more.

For obvious reasons Sin City and Kung Fu Hustle come to mind. Of course I could be waaaaaay off base. Why Damascus? Like the steel? Alliteration? Maybe I just like symbolism too much.

These two sound like a really good pair of potential villains - which is saying a lot. Movie villains I like are few and far between.

It would be really cool in the movie to see them a little bit out of the context of work. A couple things I'm curious about - they've got all that money, what do they spend it on? Do they have any drug habits, or other expensive vices? What kind of things do they do for fun when they aren't cutting off people's appendages? Also, do they do these things together, or is their relationship pretty much restricted to work?
