Character Development: Mr Thin
Sep. 18th, 2010 09:20 pmLately I haven't have much gumption to write anything; don't know why, just not feeling it. In the mean time, my brain's decided to take two vague notebook ideas and combine them into someone who has no place in any story I have so far. Just a guy, a creepy guy, who decided to walk in through the door and take a number. No idea as to what this guy will go to, but he seems like a nice duck-fucking crazy sonabitch.
A mix of two concepts, one being the build and name, and the other being his personality and mask. Mr. Thin is some sort of boogeyman and freaky as hell. He's tall and thin (gee, didn't see that coming), always seen wearing a long jacket and a wide brimmed hat. The look is kinda cliche, it's pretty much the standard now of the action hero, but it's meant to enhance his... tall and thinness. That coulda sounded better...
His name tells a lot about him. He's thin; very tall and almost stretched just that little bit beyond normal, so he looks like he's just tall but something still isn't right about him. His fingers are long as well. When I thought about his fingers, I thought about how piano players usually have longer fingers than most, so I made him a piano player. Don't know why exactly, seems strange to have a boogeyman with a hobby, but it's interesting when he plays. I wish I could play, and could write music while I'm at it, because I imagine him playing just this haunting, goosebump bringing music. Just because he can.
One of the main things about him is his face. I don't know exactly what it looks like underneigh, but he wears a mask all the time. A mask made up of a someone's (I wanna say a child's, but that seems a bit too dark, but then again...) face tied on with a few strings. It obviously doesn't fit well, and you can see miscolored skin where the mask isn't able to cover completely. Since he isn't quite human (I'm pretty sure) this is his attempt to look so, regardless that it doesn't look right.
Mainly his look is all I have down, motivation and any substantional story have yet to be found. Still, he seems interesting enough, so maybe I'll find a place for him yet. Or at least keep him in reserve and rework him into something more workable later.
