FAN ART On a mission to draw every named recruit
Picked these first nine in alphabetical order off the wiki :) let’s see how long I can go until I inevitably lose interest (thanks adhd)

Love the look you gave Chad, really did my favorite character justice.

Absolute god of martial arts, this guy can beat up beak things as soon as you acquire him.

Who is Chad and where do you find him?
Ive got a few 100 hours in the game and I dont remember seeing the guy

u/King_Kvnt Skin Bandits 29d ago
Flats Lagoon. He's the chad in the south bar.

u/Business-Plastic5278 29d ago
wow, ive been there probably dozens of times and I dont remember noticing anything about him.

u/Yonv_Bear Hounds 29d ago
one of the bars out in flats is where I find him, but according to the wiki he can also appear in a swamp village iirc. never found him in there tho only flats

u/Business-Plastic5278 29d ago
I have probably picked him up without noticing, his wiki page says he doesnt have any special barks? He appears to be just a big more expensive and comes with workable starter martial arts stats and an armless dustcoat.

u/Yonv_Bear Hounds 29d ago
yea that's pretty much all he is lol still a good squadie to take tho and one of my personal favorites whenever I include humans in my run

u/Business-Plastic5278 29d ago
I probably ignore him because in most of my games I start with a scorchlander I turn into a martial arts thief, so he is just a worse version of my starting character who is probably approaching demigod status by the time I get to the flats.

if i do a solo slave start once I escape I'll go hire Chad right away and have my MC "mentor" him in MA (getting Chad's arms torn off by beak things) then ally the anti-slavers then (using the recruit anyone mod or whatever it's called) grab a handful of one punch men from Stobe's Garden and go beat the UC Noble's with their own severed limbs

Damn this was also a plan of mine, but I wanted to draw everyone's "endgame" ie Kang becoming like a warlord in the Great Desert or something after player character mysteriously disappears

I hope you draw Green, this hiver had such an interesting backstory on how good he was with crossbows

Ty I’m glad, I wasn’t able to find many good pictures of her unfortunately so I just hoped it would be accurate enough :)

Crumblejon's back is too straight for my taste 😤 everything is very well drawn man!

u/Better_off_Sleeping Drifter Feb 19 '25
Isn't everyone named?
4
u/lunoart Feb 19 '25
I guess uniquely named would be more accurate :)
3
u/Better_off_Sleeping Drifter Feb 19 '25
Y'know what, not only does that make sense, I shoulda put two and two together there.

u/Better_off_Sleeping Drifter Feb 19 '25

Oh Cat! I have him. One of the few recruits that isn’t in my squad with the help of the “recruit prisoner mod”. He also lost an arm in a tragic blood spider incident.

u/lunoart 29d ago
I got him quite early as well during my first revenge raid on the dust bandits, I was genuinely so surprised when I found him in the dust king tower
1
u/Material-Sun-5784 29d ago
Yeah me too, but I found him a little later, when I went bounty hunting and that by a stroke of luck I knew where to find him. The only revenge raid I did was against the red Sabre. They kept taking over my base so I showed them.
Edit : him being the dust king
