Grotesque
Ken Chandler Copyright © 2008

The origins of the youth known as Grotesque are a mystery; he doesn’t have clear memories of his life prior to his 12th birthday. He has shadowy memories, but their meanings are unclear.
Grotesque possesses superhuman strength, stamina, and resistance to injury.
He is intelligent, and enjoys creative endeavors as well as problem-solving puzzles and related activities. He spends his leisure time writing and drawing—brushed inks and watercolors are his favorite mediums.
Grotesque is a pacifist by nature, preferring to use his strength to build rather than destroy. He enjoys nature, and spending time among the animals that live around the temple where he and Gorgon (a High Priest- who is also his guardian, teacher and mentor) study, grow their own food, and work to build the temple and it's grounds.

Thanks for reading my Character Map.
I'd also appreciate getting your feedback on my short story (500 words)... "Monsters In My Attic". Thanks (in advance) for your thoughts.

he sounds like ferdinand the bull! i love that story! so is grotesque a description as well as a name? what makes him grotesque?
Does this character have any relationship to anyone in the story, "Monsters In the Attic"?
(I think I don't get the concept of Character Maps.) M
Sounds like he looks creepy, but is really a nice guy instead... right? Kind of one of those people that you're scared to get to know, but you like him once you know him?
He is homely, in the sense that he has unusual and strong features, though he is not ugly in the sense that he is repulsive. He has a low forehead, muscley eyebrows, smallish eyes, longish upper lip, and a wide jaw that tapers to a cleft chin. Guess I should have mentioned all this in my description, but I felt like I had to stick to the basics.
He is a sweetheart, though if you met him for the first time, you might think he was angry at you. His heavy brow makes him look like he's mad, but that's deceptive. He tends to be very understanding and compassionate. But when he does lose his temper-- get out of the state-- his strength is off the scale, and he knows how to use it. Mind and body are one with this character.
