After comming up with my characters archetype, it started to come together in my mind about stories involving him, exactly what kind of guy he was, his background, family work business, physical description. He is an anthropomorphic. Walks, stands, talks, acts exactly like a human, in a bears body.
Doesn't have much of an educational background, left school at 16- felt he was better off spending his time researching how to make as much money as possible now. Jumping from market to market, making dodgy and dirty deals involving drugs, to selling fake gold and watches making fortunes on the streets, dodging and ducking from peoples hes previously f***ed over and the police.
Everyone in the North London knows Curley, hes a very decent bloke... but behind closed doors is what very few people know about him. Unless you are on his bad side of course! He takes no s***! A proper ladies man, always has managed to pull every woman he wanted whereever he goes but has since calmed down with chatting them up since he got married. A proper born and bread cockny, a massive Tottenham fan living as a youngster virtually on the stadiums door steps so he had no choice but to follow in his fathers footstepts and support the yid arm - like his football teams manager Harry Redknapp, hes a good old 'wheeler dealer'.
His worst habbit, would have to be he gets into too many fights. For people who don't know him, hes extremely intimidating. Every one of his friends and peers look up to him as the gang leader. An absolute gentleman and will look out for his entourage and when big deals come through he will spoil them. Go out on the drink, take a cheeky trip to Amsterdam, he loves to have fun. His goal and motivation? Money, live the glorious life, not get caught, give them family as much as they want and spoil them and just enjoy life living under his own rules.
I'm going to be looking for already famous bears for inspiration on how to design his looks, movement, habitat, and conceptual art and artists to help move forward.
