LO2 — Plan a Character for use in an Animation

WAYNE HAUSER  

A tall slender ‘man’ with broad features.  Subjected to an unknown underworld where everyone becomes a new manifestation of their original personalities, most commonly anthropomorphic animals.  There are few oddities, and Wayne is one of them.  A man with a skull for a head. He doesn’t perspire, carry odours, bleeds etc -- so he sticks to wearing three sets of the same tailored suit. Though he is broad and has a skull face, the skull’s eyes and their apparent openness actually evoke more anxiety than badassery.  He’s not like he’s been ripped off a metal-album cover, he is fact more reserved and kinder than one appears. In fact, the structure of his skull actually make his eyes look really goofy.  It’s a funny image of a skeleton going around in a tailored suit, wreaking vengeful justice with this rather stupid look on his face.  The amalgamation doesn’t exactly speak a man who is out to kill. He does work for a crime response agency, and will carry around a slick personal revolver for good measure.  


In a neutral position, he stands tall and open, but elects to have his hands in his jacket at all times, face again, beaming.  

Wayne is an independent person, though it would appear that he doesn’t have the support / standing to make his independence a major positive.

He is considered laughing stock at his workplace despite his accolades and quite confident reactionary behavior, it’s just the thing to do around that place.  His independence is a major factor in his agency work since he works pretty good alone. But outside the force, he’s a bit of a loner that gets a kick out of having conflicts with other people he meets (a running gag in the show could be a quick flashback to a romantic date that he screws up, not by being naive but being too witty and roguish).
His approach to life is completely changed and begins his major journey after discovering his father committed suicide, and thus gives himself a larger purpose and impose himself on the world rather than him just reacting to everything that happens to him.
