As you all know, I create some of the most complex, engrossing characters in modern literature. You must be wondering how I manage to delve so deep into the human mind to create such characters. Wonder no more, for I shall now answer this pressing question.
Write out the names of your characters and explain:
1.) How you thought of their name.
2.) What made you create the character in the first place.
3.) How the character has changed over time (If they have changed).
4.) Any random fun fact about that character.
Felix Blake
1) Felix is a nice name. That's all there is to his first name. As for his last name, one day I was drawing and I realized he didn't have one. I happened to be listening to
this at that particular moment. So I took the name from that, because why not. THANKS VAMPIRE WEEKEND
2) I felt the need to make a character who wore a checkered vest.
3) Actually, from the first sketch I did of him, his design really hasn't changed at all. I think his cravat was originally black, but the original sketch was in greyscale so lolz. Oh and somewhere along the way I forgot how to draw hair like that of a normal human being. Personality-wise, he's still the same. He's essentially a more insane version of the protagonist from H.G. Wells' The Time Machine.
4) He shops at Topman.
TED
1) I spent hours sitting around trying to think of a name that could be an acronym relating to a time traveling robot. It was probably like 4 in the morning when I leapt out of bed and triumphantly shouted TEMPORAL EMERGENCY DEFENSE! Actually that might be an exaggeration. Just a slight one. But yeah then I tagged "unit" onto the end and I was done. So his full name is actually the Temporal Emergency Defense unit version 1.0
2) I felt like my checkered-vest wearing character needed a robotic companion with a charmingly antiquated design. Originally he was going to look like something out of a bad 80's movie, with a big blocky body and lego-esque claw hands and whatnot. But then I decided, "If I'm going to make a robot, I might as well make a real classy, sharply dressed robot." Also I suck at drawing robots.
3) Eh...not much. He's become more angry. xD
4) His favorite band is Radiohead.
