Ok, so most of you guys know that I'm making a comic for my senior project, and that this is the story I'm using. I've got everything I need so far....characters drawn...outline done....all my references saved...a map...a script.
There's only one thing my comic is missing. Extras. In order for this comic to become realistic, I'm going to need extras in my background. Drawing the standard market place with people is pretty easy. They look normal enough. The academy however, a place where every culture and country is represented, has a background that's very different than others. These extras can't be ordinary extras. They need to look slightly unique (I say slightly because they are meant as a background and can't direct attention away from the main characters), but I had an idea with this.
I want to draw you guys as my extras. I want you to go into my world description and pick a country you'd like to represent (not counting the arctic one). If you'd like, state any minor preferences you'd like to have about yourself. But keep in mind that they can't be extravagant. They can't draw the eye away from the main characters. They can be slightly interesting because I want the background of my academy to look complex, but not too interesting.
So please, PLEASE, post your preferences here to help me out. I promise to post my comic onto here when I finish so you can scout out your characters. And then you can feel special and tell all your friends you're in a comic.

Tarkus, Moeder, and Iliaken. Three Validusian Wyrn-riders sent to Ignis Island by King Aberlard. Tarkus is the leader and is built very big a muscular. His head seems small by comparison. Moeder doesn't like to wear his helmet and is usually seen carrying it under his left arm. He's usually grinning at some private joke. Iliaken is whipcord thin, and tall, making him lanky. He always looks nervous, as if thinking someone is out to get him, and as a result, hunches over, obscuring his height.

You never said anything about appearance besides their build or personality.

Tarkus - Big man; makes everything seem smaller by comparison. Has pale green eyes and short sandy brown hair. Very squared jaw. Always serious and composed, as if he almost can't stand his companions.
Moeder - average build and height. Bright blue eyes that almost have a twinkle. A scar runs just under his right eye and across the bridge of his thin nose. Hair is black and very straight and hangs down into his eyes, which is why he keeps his helmet off - because pulling his hair up into the helmet is a lot of work. Usually smirking or seems amused.
Iliaken - long face (almost could be called a horse face) and a hooked nose. Not a handsome man by most standards. Shifty, restless. One brown eye and one blue eye. His lips are thin and he keeps them pressed close together, though sometimes mutters to himself.

Also, they are here on a mission to buy war machines for Validus, or learn how to make them. All are Wyrm riders.

Ryner- short black hair with brown eyes. Moderately tall with an athletic build. Always an amused smirk on his face. Usually has a hood over head so you can really only see the bottom half of his face.

Male, almost midget short, dark blond hair to his shoulders which he keeps in a ponytail to keep out of his face, blue eyes, is sneaky and likes to play pranks on people.
Give him a name if you want.

Ah..no, Tyrion is a character from A Game of Thrones. I was joking that your guy was like him, but since no one here knew that, its only funny to me.

Pick a country. It helps a lot.
Also, why do none of you ever describe their clothes? I'm not going to draw a bunch of naked people.

also, this is a medieval setting. Clothes basically amounted to tunics and trousers with shoes. Dresses for the ladies and armor for the soldiers.

Austin, I don't think I can draw suits for this. They don't seem to fit in. Will robes work?
