1. My chosen TV series

as my TV series I choose Supernatural-> I choose Supernatural as it is one of my favourite TV series and because our project is Gothic Horror I think Supernatural has a broad variety of characters and creatures on which I can base my characters on
the setting is North America, back flashes could show other countries as well if it is necessary for the story

That's the show. haha :D

I am just gonna show some images of the main characters

Dean Winchester

Sam Winchester

Castiel - Angel (with his cute puppy looks :) )

Crowley- a.k.a King Of Hell

2. Audience Demographic

I would say that a variety of people watch the show->young teenagers, people in their twenties , even some older women, the series was supposed to attract young males but now more females are watching the show
why appealing? because first of all the male leads are all very attractive which appeals to the female dominating audience; then there are the troubled relationships in the family, the loss of loved ones, the urge to have a happy live but also the struggles with the dark inside yourself. I think those are things 'everyone' can relate to. And even though it is fictional people want to see how the characters are coping with those things and think it will maybe help them as well. Of course our families are not haunted by actual demons or other creatures but it is about the basic problems between humans; I wouldn't say that the setting was that important; then of course there are special romantic relationships within the series but one thing which is properly most appealing is the Dean and Sam brother relationship and definitely the Dean and Cas relationship-> stans call them Destiel ^^; another factor is of course the broad variety of supernatural creatures->from demons to vampires, ghosts, shapeshifters, angels, witches, werewolves, gods, and so on. There is nothing that does not exist in this series. In some episodes they also referenced classic horror creatures such as Dracula, Frankenstein, Lucifer. But they also touched on the urban myths section

3. First Character

my first character is Claudia
she was neglected by her parents, likes watching horror shows
she is also agoraphobic and barely leaves her apartment
she has an imaginary boyfriend called Quentin which can change completely depending on Claudia's mood-> but you can read more about Claudia in the Character introduction post
the setting would be her apartment as she does not like to leave her apartment as said before
Claudia will be part of a new case Dean, Sam and Cas (and maybe Crowley) are looking into
She will be appealing to the audience because of er background story->no parents and that she literally is just a broken soul who tries to life live, I think that she is agoraphobic will also have a huge impact

4. What key word did you choose to develop your first design?

I have 3 key words that hopefully fit with my character. I am just not sure about the whole key word thing as I don't understand all of them( and I tried to find out) so I picked some which should fit-> For my first character I want to use the key words 'Save Us'. ' Awakening' and ' Veil' . I choose them because Claudia wants to be saved( save us) from feeling miserable, weak and abandoned, after making a contract with a demon she changes and the demon secretly lingers inside her (veil) and later when she gives in to the evil(=demon) it is the awakening.
setting of scene: the setting will take place in Claudia's apartment which is filled with dolls, I got my inspiration for that from the Supernatural 2x11 episode 'Playthings'

Claudia will also look like a broken doll and has high up twin tails, even though her face is supposed to look creepy the rest should look dolls-like-innocent
she happens to meet Dean, Cas, Sam and Crowley because they are after a certain cross roads demon which happened to be the one who granted Claudia's wish and is now possessing her-> side note: Crowley used to be the boss of the cross roads demon before he turned into the king of hell->that's why he will appear as well

6. Second Character

My second character is Quentin, Claudia's imaginary boyfriend
he is being victimized by Claudia and suffers a lot under he new evil self
for my design I thought of using the angel banishing sigil on Quentin, but it is meant as a metaphor. The angel banishing sigil originally casts angels away if the person who draw the sigil with their blood touches it and because we see angels as something good and pure I want to use the sigil on Quentin to show that the demon possessed doll like Claudia tries to cast away Quentin's good side and make him empty and part of her doll collection
setting will be the same as for Claudia;the apartment
I think Quentin will appeal to the audience to a certain amount as he is the "damsel in distress" here

7. What key word did you choose to develop your second character?

For Quentin I would use 'Glass Prison' as he is trapped in Claudia's little word and can't escape as she has power over him
as said the setting will take place in Claudia's apartment
Quentin has an injured right eye which is covered with bandages and has the angel banishing sigil drawn onto the left side of his neck
