In my Digital Storytelling piece there are not many characters, and only two types of characters, the first being soldiers, and the second being primitive inspired humans. Below is a rough overview of both types of characters and what they do in my animation.
Soldiers
The soldiers in my story are from a private military company, they have soviet era vehicles and have multiple outposts in the area that my animation is set in. They are quite ruthless and always get the job, whatever it is, done. They wear green uniforms with green helmets, and often balaclavas to cover their identities.
Primative people
The people who discover the soldiers after the nuclear blast are inspired by prehistoric humans with fur clothes and big boots, they have stick weapons and bows just so that it sticks with the theme of the story. These people have lived off the land ever since WW3 happened and they have very long hair because nobody cuts hair anymore at that point in time.
