-For Slob I was mostly inspired by Randal Graves, one of the main characters of Clerks.
Altogether he's not physically that slobby but in terms of work ethic and attitude he is a total pig/slob and I was thinking of including some of his dress code and blatant disregard for how others might view him in my mental picture of who the Slob really is.

As for The Man I was thinking of trying to incorporate a couple different characters as influence.
First, I figured it would be inappropriate if I didn't include one of the biggest representations of oppressive authority figures in a suit if I didn't have some Agent Smith in the performance, particularly with how he stalks X at one point

(As for The Man's cackles I thought Smith could also be influential http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNkrF43SZEU)
Another influence for The Man's hunting of X and Id I had was the Blue Sun Agents (aka the Hands of Blue) from Firefly. Just something about the way they could emotionlessly prowl throughout an abandoned section of a hospital and silence any witnesses was really creepy which I always saw as the vibe The Man had when about to pounce on X
(this was the closest I could find to the actual scene on the show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUpjsp9UvAM)

The final bit of influence I had for my picture of The Man was Jim Moriarty from Sherlock. Unlike the last two, not only is Moriarty well-dressed but he's completely psychotic and always manipulating events from behind the scenes to keep the heroes down and keep everyone on their toes

Hope that helped y'all and I would love some feedback on whether I should take these characters one way or another.
