whelp, back at it again it seems! I told myself I might miss this year and take a minute to just be able to appreciate the art that will come from this season. But in one breath I heard it was going to be about space and I had already planned my character! I don't expect to get in, with all these incredible entries, but I had loads of fun in the process! so let me tell you a little bit about him and this video.

Chosen country; England
Plucking time 19:00 hours (7pm)

Faceclaim
Dimitri from Anastasia. I decided to change his name to Lucian (Luke) Lockwood. The name 'Lucian' is of Latin origin and translates into 'light'. The surname 'lockwood' is an old English surname which means 'enclosed wood'. Therefore essentially, his name translates into 'Light in an enclosed forest', which is a statement that I believes reflects in his personality. He is a very private, quiet person whose outer shell contains a great deal of hidden depth and substance (and light) within him.

Plot
This is set in a small Northumberland town, near the border between England and Scotland. We are introduced to Lucian as he enters the local bar (which is an old English Pub), to find Holli dancing to the radio in front of the flames of the fire. She catches his eye and they begin conversation, flirtatiously, to the dismay of her boyfriend, Gaston. Gaston briefly brawls with Lucian and smacks him square in the face, screaming at him to get away from his girlfriend as he is no good (Dimitri is renown for something in this town and wishes to escape the harsh eyes of his peers, so the annual plucking is something he has often thought about, but never believed he would be chosen for). Lucian leaves hastily and stumbles through the forest, evidently lost. The sky clears from the gentle January snow as a viridescent light fills the air. The beam strikes the ground in front of him and then he realises. He takes a step forward, into his destiny...

Background;
Lucian was born in London but taken all the way up to Scotland to be raised by his Scottish mother. For around 13 years he lived happily until his father retook possession and brought him back to his home to complete his secondary education. Unable to choose between them, Lucian decided to live halfway, near the border, in order to be close to both of them. His parents were not bad people but had a turbulent relationship and did not wish for their son to be caught in the crossfire. The images in the beginning shall be explained upon further plotting (if I somehow manage to get in, of course).

THE VOICEOVER - This voice is what I would like Dimitri to sound like. Having been raised for a majority of his life in Scotland, he developed the local twang inevitably. When he moved back down to England his accent changed once again and thus, we have a mixture of the two. This is just to represent his displacement in the world, not his country of origin. He is English and believes he is english, but he is constantly reminded of his past even within his voice

Song choice - In For The Kill - La Roux Billie Marten Cover.
The original singer of this song is an English artist and this song accurately describes what Dimitri is going through at this given moment. The pain, the fear of his own character etc.
