Now I've got your attention, thought I'd make a late night post on the blog... No, not that sort.. Anyway, I'm going to try and keep the posts a little shorter for your digestion so I'll post Boris' character description, then an image or two of how he looks and possibly something on his voice.Name: Boris
Also known as: “The Owl”
Age: Unknown, but would appear the same, or a little older than the others.
Main Relationships: Esteban (friend), Miguel (best friend/foe), Bones (friend)
Appearance:
Bones is an owl, standing around 4½ foot or so, quite plump in appearance. He has ears and big yellow eyes, with a bright yellow beak, and he wears a pair of NHS-style spectacles with a collar and bow-tie. He is vaguely reminiscent of Ronnie Barker in a way. He has large wings and a pair of spiky yellow feet with talons.
Clothes:
Other than for occasional storyline purposes, the only items Boris wears are his collar, bow-tie and glasses.
Personality:
Boris is the wiser, more level-headed member of the group. He offers advice to any who seek it, and is often the person people go to when they feel they have no-one else to turn to.
Whilst excellent at helping others, Boris does not listen to his own advice and generally ends up making himself look like a fool. He is unlucky in love and is continually teased about it, as he falls in love too easily.
Boris is extremely intelligent, and as such, prefers to hang around with Miguel, rather than Esteban and Bones. As the latter are unable to understand Miguel, Boris has become his closest friend. As they are both extremely intelligent, and prone to the odd strop, they often fall out and are like an old married couple. They are best friends at heart and are regularly out drinking together and making fools of themselves. Boris is also a weed smoker, mainly from his time at university. He has a job at a bank and works part-time hours.
Mannerisms:
Boris is a calm, rational fellow but will be prone to the occasional strop when he feels people aren’t listening to him. He isn’t the most graceful of birds and this is particularly true when stoned or drunk. He talks in a fairly deep voice, with a broad Yorkshire accent.Sadly I haven't been able to upload a sketch as of yet, but here's my vague image, just imagine the owl a little fatter.
As for the accent, think Monty Python's Four Yorkshiremen sketch and you'll know what I mean. Tomorrow I'll post the final character description (Esteban's best friend, 'Bones') and after that post the second script so you get a full introduction to the 4 main characters. Hopefully I'll have some images soon of Bones and Boris too.
Anyway, peace in the East, etc.
