Quentin

My second character that I chose was Quentin and this was the character brief I was given on his character -

Claudia has an imaginary boyfriend, Quentin, who is long suffering and a constant disappointment to her. They don’t live together but he visits regularly and they talk on the telephone if he can’t get in to see her. As he is part of her imagination his appearance changes to suit her mood. Sometimes he will be a David Beckham looking guy, whilst in another scene he will appear as a Pete Docherty type, Daniel Craig type or a Hollyoaks Babe. If she is having a bad day he will morph into an uncouth couch potato chav with all that brings with it.

He is as into the horror film genre as she and into role-playing to suit her whims and moods.

Claudia has a paranoid suspicion that he is constantly having affairs behind her back and keeps him firmly under her thumb, sometimes restraining him or keeping him prisoner in one of the rooms.

The concept I have on this character is, I know he isn't actually a real character as he is a made up person, by Claudia. Therefore I wanted to create something for her, something that she could have hidden away in her house.
Claudia is a very strange girl and no one really knows what she gets up to, what she likes or doesn't like or what she does when she's at home, Quentin will be locked away in her bedroom but because no one knows he's there it's like her little secret she keeps from everyone which she loves.
Quentin will be a new vampire, a newly made fresh blood vampire, in True Blood these are the best vampires to "catch" because their blood is still in transition and "tastes" better and gives you a different high.
Quentin was a twenty year old boy, a new vampire who Claudia found in the woods one night chained down and holes in his arms. She saw him and took the chains off, took him to her home and decided to keep him for herself.  As soon as she could she had him chained down on to her bed so he couldn't move. The silver on the chains burned through his skin and it hurts that much he can't move. So he ends up being stranded there hurting, she drains his blood daily little by little so she can get her vampire blood fix. One day shes nice and the next she can be terrible and terrorise him. 

Quentin will be the perfect vampire, good looking, pale, charming when he is allowed and mean when told to be by Claudia, he has the perfect pretty boy image too so if he was human then he would be very attractive too.  He does what Claudia says, obeys her rules even though he knows he can get away if he really wanted to, he can't because he secretly is in love with her.

My key word that I picked for Quentin is "SAVE US" -
I picked this word because he needs saving, all vampires who get trapped by love or in chains need saving because  there actually dead. No human could have a life with a vampire.
As he is in chains he will be in pain and needs some one to come along and save him or just kill him. He is never exposed to sunlight because she has him hidden in the basement.
He will be chained down on a concrete floor, uncomfortable and in pain. Chains will be over his neck and his wrists too, his skin will be more pale than usual and this one particular day he wants saving more than ever so he will have blood tears coming from his eyes. His hair will be still in place, his facial features will be perfect as ever too. He will not be wearing an clothes on the top part of his body either.

I created a mood board to show my idea -
