Constructing character

TREVOR MAZZANTI: An emotive killer.


We drew a lot of inspiration from Travis Bickle from Taxi Driver....



Yes... that Travis Bickle.

He has become quite the inspiration because of the complexity of his persona. As I mentioned in the previous post, his motives and actions do not align in terms of morality.

With Trevor, we are planning to make him a very emotive character. We want him to kill his victims, not because of a twisted desire to "wear people's faces" like in Silence of the Lambs, but out of his love for his victims.

I had an idea where Trevor would tear up his victims into little pieces and store them in boxes, lbelled with a name and photo. He would keep them as if they were his friends, so he essentially believes that by killing them, he is able to be friends with them forever.

He is twisted and evil, but we need to be able to express that despite his horrible actions, his actions are rooted in profound insecurities and good intentions.
