2/9

In order to help me create a believable environment for my character I need to

first understand The character itself. So Ive researched Fictional and Existing

Magicians to create a character reference/background. With this vital informationI can then create and understand my own character which will ultimately help me

design the Lair that he will be habitating.

Once Ive finished collecting the various traits these individuals possess I will

collate the data into a word map that highlights the traits that will help build my

Character.

I would use this as a strong influence for the personality of my character because I like the

unconventional style he has compared to other magicians. Using him as a strong influence

would be beneficial because It could help me create my character and his lair to be more

modern and gritty compared to polished magicians acts involving rabbits.

Existing Characters

Penn and Teller are a magician act who specialise in gore trickery,

exposing frauds and clever pranks. Consisting of Americans Penn

Fraser Jillete, aged 57 and Raymond Joseph Teller, aged 64. Their

act is famed for the exposure of secrets behind their tricks, where

they repeat it and slow down the process to show just how

theyve done it. Breaking the magical code of Omerta..

Another element that is

renowned for is the set

up of the group. Penn is

a raconteur, someone

who tells a story in a

skilful way , whilst Teller

remains completely

quite while he performs.

Simpsons, Futurama andin music videos for the

Fictional Characters Wizard

ProfileFrom the darkest depths of the Harry Potter world comes

Lord Voldemort, almost the polar opposite of Dumbledore,

Voldemort is an evil, destructive and spiteful character.

Compelled to his gaunt physical, dead like, existence by the

most darkest of magic. He is a snake looking character whos

portrayal as The Bad Guy is extremely dark and created

well by the author. Voldemort is the single biggest threat tothe stability of the wizarding world who brings about him

fear and destruction. His thirst for demonic, dictator-like

control engulfs him and sends him into a trance to pursue

his warped vision of a world he strives to rebuild.

He is Dumbledores arch enemy and only real challenger to

Dumbledores supreme reign over the preservation of that

world. Voldemort has practised and perfected the arts ofthe darker power of magic.

Traits: Dark, Cruel,

Cold, Callous, Evil,

Destructive, Thin,

Spiteful, Snake like,

Dead Looking,

Soulless, powerful


9/9

I like the quirky mystical presence that surrounds these types of

people. I will definitely install some of these elements to create a

hybrid warrior/magic man/witch doctor with modern day traits like

Magician Dynamo. I like the fictional powers that could be instilled

into my character and enshrouded into my environment.Apparent traits from my research into real life magicians seems to be

the power of illusion, innovation and slyness.

However, I am fascinated by the powerful and spiritual elements

that the fictional magician, or Wizards have. Especially the power

side of this element can go so easily hand in hand with anAmerind Warrior. I can just imagine a strong fierce warrior with

supernatural abilities.
