Unit 2.02- Character Design Profile Sheets

To better understand our characters, we were set the task to create a profile sheet for them. So individually, I started to explore my character in-depth, not only by finding names for them, but also asking questions such as what was his past?, where did he come from? or how does he look? - I attempted to have a clear understanding of the characters. Alongside this descriptive file, I also created some more specific influence maps, highlighting body structure and personality of my characters.

Hero- Young Pirate

Name:  John "Rusty"

Biography: John "Rusty" , is a robot and one of the last experiments done around the 1890' and 1900's , in the attempt to give life to  inanimate metal constructions. These experiments proven be too dangerous, cancelled and the robots dumped. However, the experiment didn't fail, and John "Rusty" alongside his fellow robot experiments, wandered the streets in search of fuel and pieces to renew them. 

At that time, the streets were full of curiosity and this lead the Robots, to venture the sea. Although a safer place, the sea lacks in resources, such as fuel and new pieces, so the robots start to scavenge from commercial and authority ships, turning the Robots into pirates relying on corruption to serve their needs . These outrageous actions were led by the Captain Hidalgo "Bolt", the older and the leader of the Robots, who as leader would get the best of the stolen equipments, while the others Robots would degrade.  "Rusty" seeing this injustice challenges the Captain.

These experiments proven be too dangerous, cancelled and the Robots dumped. However, the experiment didn't fail, and Captain Hidalgo "Bolt" alongside the other robot experiments, wandered the streets in search of fuel and pieces to renew them. 

At that time, the streets were full of curiosity and this lead the Robots, to venture the sea. Although a safer place, the sea lacks in resources, such as fuel and new pieces, so the robots start to scavenge from commercial and authority ships, turning the Robots into pirates relying on corruption to serve their needs.

Also, Colin White gave me the idea that maybe I should incorporate gadgets into my characters, Although i had a similar idea before by adding a compass etc., i loved it. It makes a lot of sense also, being the captain and abundant in gadgets, he upgrades himself. So he will be a sort of Inspector Gadget.
