I came up with Roger in my early college years after reading the first book of Shark Wars by E J Altbacker. I was sad to see Churn from Goblin Shiver die in battle and the fact that Whitetip Sharks, Oceanic or Reef, barely showed up in the other books. So I decided to make my own Oceanic Whitetip Shark character. I'm glad that I finally put him on a piece of paper, and I am just as glad to give him a pilot fish companion to help balance out some of his personality traits. Roger is an adventurous shark who one day hopes to form and lead his own shiver that will be named Ranger Shiver. I got the idea from Roger's Rangers as a fun tidbit from US Military history and applied it the character's goal. I used the eyes and eyebrows of Lagio the Oceanic Whitetip Shark by Zavraan who made Jack the Grey Reef Shark and Caribbean Odyssey as a reference, and went with the search results on Google images for the rest of the shark and fish's bodies as a reference.
Roger with Ace and a few other Shark Wars characters and original characters will appear in chapter 8 of Shar-Kata Wars and later chapters as well.
