A giant game world is a lot more welcoming when it has familiar faces. The Islands Crew was created to give players characters they could recognize, remember, and root for — not just background NPCs doing laps.

Each character needed their own personality without feeling like they wandered in from a different game. Decisions around shape, attitude, and expression helped define who they were and how they fit together. The result is a small cast that makes Dojo Islands feel less like a map and more like a place.
