roland from library of ruina drives me insane when it comes to his character design because hes. LITERALLY just a tall thin guy with short black hair and a black suit and SOMETIMES black gloves and SOMETIMES a mask that's just a black oval shape that covers his entire face. like that's it. he doesn't have have any other visual motifs going on

AND YET library of ruina's art style is characteristic and expressive enough that he never comes off as boring. many fixers in this game wear similar business suits, but roland's completely monochrome palette is like a stark contrast to the rest. there aren't really any other characters wearing pure black. even just his posture is eye-catching, his silhouette is easily identifiable. this way he manages to stand out more than even some of the one-off reception characters who have a lot more "interesting" designs, like the rats:

like obviously his voice actor and his personality leave a big impression too, if it weren't for everything else he got going on he wouldn't be nearly as memorable. but it's interesting to me how good art direction can make even the most simple design iconic

enjoy that only time of the year when you can say "hoe" without sounding offensive
