I was browsing my Heroforge characters and realized that while I had several people of color characters, the majority of them were female people of color, rather than male people of color, so I decided to fix that.
To help conceptualize them, I started with the idea that they were presenting themselves as traveling performers, but are really mercenaries (mercenaries and entertainers have 100% freedom of wardrobe choice, so I could put them in all sorts of costumes). All but two of them are from different nations in the setting, and to emphasize that one of them has a noticeably lighter skin tone than the others.
I came up with names for them first, then worked on their appearance (and personality a bit) in Heroforge all day yesterday.
