Character Analysis

Blondie is portrayed in the film as the character with a conscience and as "The Good". In theory hes a bounty hunter and murders people for a living. He also lets greed get the better of him when it comes to money and is happy to deceive to gain a profit. However in comparison to the other characters he is the good as he is portrayed to hunt criminals. Certain quotes also solidify that he has a conscience, in the bridge scene for example he comments on the civil war and it being a waste of good men. He also blows up the bridge which makes the army captain happy. Compared to the other characters Blondie is dressed in brighter colors to represent that he is the hero of the film. I will try to use the same theme throughout my game story.

Tuko in the film is a bandit. He is portrayed in the films as a comical oafish person, but his character is dangerous. He is wanted across the land for numerous crimes. The character is out to save his own hide and is greedy and takes every opportunity to exploit a situation no matter the cost. Teaming up with Blondie he is out to make money but gets greedy, Blondie leaves him in the desert with nothing and Tuko swears vengeance showing that his personality holds a grudge.

Angel Eyes is the clear protagonist in the story. In the story he is portrayed as an unfeeling sociopath who is ruthless in the pursuit of what he wants. His role in the story is as a mercenary, after learning of the treasure he hunts Tuko and Blondie. He has Tuko tortured for information. The character is always dressed in dark colors throughout the film to add to the already obvious protagonist look.

"The film tells the story of three men who pursue, often at the expense of others, information about the location of a buried treasure of coins. The first character introduced in the movie is Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez (the Ugly) - called Tuco - (Eli Wallach), who has a bounty on his head for numerous crimes. Tuco has a partnership with Blondie (The Good, played by Clint Eastwood) in which the latter turns him in for the reward money which the two then split after Blondie saves Tuco from hanging at the last moment. Meanwhile, a third character called Angel Eyes (Lee Van Cleef, playing the Bad) has learned of a hidden trunk of gold owned by a Confederate soldier named Bill Carson. He sets off to find the gold.
Soon, Blondie grows tired of his relationship with Tuco, and leaves Tuco in the desert with no water. Tuco survives and is intent on exacting revenge on his former partner. He finds Blondie, and turns the tables by planning to abandon him in the desert. However, before Tuco can complete his torture in the New Mexico desert, a runaway stagecoach full of dead and dying Confederate soldiers appears. Bill Carson, the man with knowledge of the whereabouts of the gold, dying from thirst, persuades Tuco to get him a drink by disclosing the name of the graveyard where the loot is located. As Tuco goes for the water, Carson dies, but not before revealing the name on the grave to Blondie.
Dressed in the uniforms of the dead soldiers, Tuco takes Blondie, near death, to a local Catholic mission run by his brother, a priest. While Blondie recovers, Tuco and his brother (Luigi Pistilli) confront each other about the mistakes each has made in life. After leaving the mission, the two, still impersonating Confederate soldiers are captured and taken to a Union prison camp. Angel Eyes has followed the trail of Bill Carson to the prison camp and is posing as a Union Sergeant.
Angel Eyes and his colleague Wallace beat and torture Tuco until he reveals the location of the cemetery. When Angel Eyes learns that only Blondie knows the name, he changes tactics. He proposes a partnership, and accompanied by five or six other killers, they leave to find the coins. Tuco escapes while being transported from the camp by train, in the process killing Wallace. At the nearest town, Tuco encounters a bounty hunter (Al Mulock) he had wounded at the beginning of the film, who seeks his revenge. As Tuco shoots the bounty hunter, Blondie, who is in the same town with Angel Eyes, recognizes the sound of Tuco's gun, seeks him out, and he and Tuco resume their old partnership. Together they kill Angel Eyes' gunmen along the main street, but Angel Eyes himself escapes.
Tuco and Blondie stumble on a battle between the Union and the Confederates, fighting for a bridge of questionable strategic value. Since the cemetery is on the other side of the bridge, they decide to destroy it and force the soldiers go somewhere else to fight. While they are setting up the dynamite, Tuco reveals that the cemetery is called Sad Hill and Blondie reveals that the coins are buried in a grave marked by the name of Arch Stanton.
On the other side of the river Tuco deserts Blondie by horseback and finally enters the nearby graveyard.
Tuco frantically searches around the graveyard for the grave of Arch Stanton. Eventually Tuco finds it, but before he can begin digging he's held at gunpoint by Blondie, who in turn is held at gunpoint by Angel Eyes, who has finally caught up to both of them. However, Blondie reveals that Arch Stanton's grave contains only a decomposing corpse.
Blondie then leads the three of them into an empty patch of land in the middle of the cemetery. He writes the name of the real grave under a stone which he places in the center.
At the conclusion of a three-way shootout, Blondie shoots Angel Eyes and Tuco finds his gun empty, having been unloaded the previous night by Blondie. Blondie then reveals that the real location of the coins is a grave marked "Unknown" right next to Arch Stanton. Tuco digs up the loot from the grave only to find himself once again staring down the barrel of Blondie's gun, who now holds a noose in his hand. After placing Tuco into the noose, fastening it to a nearby tree and making Tuco stand on the unstable wooden cross of one of the graves, Blondie takes half the coins and rides away while Tuco cries for help. In a dramatic twist, Blondie turns around to shoot the rope above Tuco's head, as he used to do in their times of partnership, freeing him one last time before riding off as Tuco screams in rage."

Synopsis

Three females of different races pursue a rare relic which inexplicably changes location on planets on the outskirts of the known universe. These three characters pursue this relic at any expense. The relic in the hands of a humanoid will allow them to travel to any location they wish on demand.

The first character to be introduced is Tiko (the Ugly) who is a wanted criminal across the universe and has fled to the under developed outskirts to avoid bounty hunters and law enforcement. Tiko teams up with the second character Blondie (the Good) to fool bounty hunters and claim the reward money for themselves. Blondie saves Tiko at the very last second from being executed. In the same galaxy the third character Angel Eyes (the Bad) is leading a band of outlaws and rebels whom proceed to pillage the planets in the same galaxy. Whilst on a raid Angel Eyes discovers the existence of an elusive relic from a religious man. Angel Eyes proceeds to slowly torture the man until she has all the information she needs.

Blondie soon tires of Tiko’s antics and attitude and leaves her on a barren planet with no supplies. Tiko survives and is hell bent on revenge. She hi-jacks a mineral transport after murdering its crew leaves in pursuit.

After capturing Blondie on the same planet (Ramos) as Angel Eyes, Tiko takes the wounded Blondie out into the desert to exact her revenge. As Tiko is about to begin torturing Blondie an old transport cart narrowly misses them. Tiko investigates the cart which has come to a stop nearby. Tiko discovers the religious man, dying after the painful torture from angel eyes. The dying man crawls from the carriage and sits next to dehydrated and wounded Blondie. Tiko proceeds to loot the carriage unaware that Blondie and the religious man are in conversation and when finished comes back to find the religious man dead. Blondie informs Tiko that the man told him the location and pattern of the elusive relic and persuades Tiko to forget her revenge and pursue the relic together.

Tiko takes a still wounded Blondie disguised in religious clothing to a rebel medical camp. In exchange for money Blondie is healed over the course of a week. Whilst this is happening Tiko leaves Blondie in pursuit of the relic herself and is captured trying to exit the camp by Angel Eyes.

Angel Eyes and her rebels torture Tiko into revealing information about the relic but Angel Eyes soon learns that Blondie is the one with solid information on the relic’s movement. Angel Eyes orders the capture of Blondie and the containment of Tiko. Tiko is taken to a ship by one of Angel Eyes most loyal friend Walldo. Tiko murders walldo and escapes back to town running into another bounty hunter whom she had injured previously (Loss of limb). The bounty hunter attempts to capture TIko but fails and gets shot by Tiko. 

Blondie now recovered from her injuries hears the gunshot and find’s Tiko pinned in a building with Angel Eyes and her rebels surrounding him. Tiko sees Blondie and opens fire on Angel Eyes and her rebels, Blondie assists from another angle and the rebels are killed. Angel Eyes escapes.

Tiko and Blondie now in partnership again head for a half scorched planet (Crem) in the same galaxy looking for the relic Angel Eyes follows them. Tiko and Blondie land to discover a war between the two dominant species on the planet has broken out and the fighting is blocking the way to the relic. Tiko and Blondie decide to try and sneak through across a small bridge. As they cross they are confronted by four of the planets native species who open fire on them. Blondie is pinned behind a mound of rocks. Tiko abandons Blondie to the natives and makes haste on a primitive speeder (Bike) towards the relic location. Tiko arrives at some old ruins carved into the terrain on the brink of the scorched terrain. Inside the ruins are rows of pillars, each pillar covered in a single different symbol. She frantically looks for the relic around the old ruins but is interrupted by a blood covered Blondie.

Blondie soon arrives after killing the natives and at gunpoint order's Tiko to keep looking. Angel Eyes appears after following the two others to the site. Tiko finds the pillar with the correct symbol and proceeds to open the pillar to reveal a cloud of dust and nothing but an empty space. Tiko pulls her weapon after realising she has been fooled by Blondie.

Blondie reveals that the relic is there among the many pillars but has given them both the incorrect symbol. She writes the symbol on the inside of her hat and places it on the floor.

All three draw their weapons and back into a triangle formation. Blondie shoots Angel Eyes leaving nothing but splatted gunk marks and a pair of boots where she once stood. Tiko tries to shoot Blondie but her gun fails, Blondie took the ammunition whilst she was sleeping. At gunpoint again Blondie points Tiko to the correct pillar. Tiko opens the pillar to find the relic surrounded by Titanite the most valuable mineral in the universe. Blondie takes the relic and leaves the Titanite next to Tiko. Blondie places an explosive device to Tiko and the mineral and sets the timer running, she then gets her distance. Tiko watches the timer and screams at Blondie. As the timer reaches one Blondie remotely stops the explosives and uses the relic to teleport away. Tiko is left in a blind rage cursing Blondie but is left with the precious mineral.
