character bio

I came across something interesting on Monday. creating character bio's for my graphic novel.

Here's the lead character: Davinci Dennis

Davinci Dennis is a newcomer to Los Angeles. He came to Hollywood to work in CGI. His first major project is called "Alien Memoirs."  The critics dislike the story and the acting but like the computer animation, in which Davinci is delighted. He is on his way to the movie premiere and awaits a limo sent by the studio. He is not aware Heather Wayne, the beautiful lead actress of the film, is waiting for him in the car. "You took me by surprise," Davinci sheepishly explains, "I though I'd be sitting in the back with Ching Spider, Doug and Wes... the CGI team."
Little does he know the plot to summon him to Imagi-Nation has begun. The sorcerer Icelus is stripped of his powers and sent to summon Davinci before the Void consumes them. Davinci created almost 90 characters a long time ago, but never finished the story.  Davinci: "I've locked them all in my mind to be their sole observer... or dare I say, God? Maybe I'm the one who can't let go and share. Why should others judge interpret, change or reject my world?"

Davinci does not seek fame; rather odd for a man relocating in the citadel of fame seekers. He seeks to be understood. From his humble beginnings, he feels like he didn't belong, being so artistically talented among simple folk. Hollywood has not jaded his fate to find someone who understands him, even when wannabe actors/waiters and waitresses give him horrible service in restaurants; when street walkers approach him daily in broad daylight. He disarms them with a country smile and a naivete., Davinci is working in his dream job, but his "forgotten dreams" have other plans.

Davinci with Heather

At first he is very intimidated. He quickly learns she is from Maine U.S, a place very similar to his Canadian home where he grew up. She is even knowledgeable of where New Brunswick, Canada is located. Most Americans think he's from New Jersey, upon mentioning NB. Heather initiates conversations, getting Davinci to open up. As a graphic art computer whiz, he doesn't think beautiful women are interested in what he does, but he has researched Greek, Egyptian, and Celtic mythologies; composition of master artworks such as Rodan, Micelangelo, and especially his namesake: Leonardo Da Vinci for inspiration to create monster/alien graphics. He is fluent in French and has a slight accent when intoxicated or agitated. All appealing conversation starters to meet women, but Davinci doesn't see it that way.

Davinci in Imagi-Nation

He serves as a guide for Heather in this realm. She looks at him for leadership, which he has always tried to avoid. Forced into the role of "Author" or, "Father," almost akin to a god, he is compelled to lead; not for himself, but to save Heather from his self claimed "weird world". On the other hand, Heather is marveled with the beautiful landscapes, the friendly mythical dragons and array of characters Davinci has conceived.

*Davinci parallel me Dennis quite a bit lol*
