Character Inspiration

Character: Chris.
Species: Walken (Christopher Walken inspired vampiric being with hypnotic powers)
Info:  Chris is the leader of quasi-vampiric creatures that are often viewed by humans as being evil boogieman types that turn their victims dreams into horrific nightmares.   He is a mysterious,  sinister but charismatic type.   He is inspired by various Wesen from the TV show Grimm mainly Hexenbiest/Zauberbiest (Witch Wesen) and Cracher Mortel (Pufferfish Wesen that raises the dead),  as well as by Sauron,   Vlad The Impaler/Dracula (Gary Oldman’s version),  the ‘Boogieman’ of common urban myth,  Slenderman,   the titular killer from the ‘Candyman’  franchise,  King Sombra,  and the Headless Horseman.  He is named after and based on Christopher Walken and has his voice and speech patterns along with his vocal tone.  Like most of his kind he stands at 6’ft and is very lithe,  his skin is pale and ghostly in appearance but doesn’t show any signs of decaying,  scarring or aging and like most male members of this kind,  he possess a rather Walken-like appearance.   The color of his hair is usually sandy brown and it prickles up slightly,   the colour of his eyes however are icy blue with dark green inner rings.  He has fingernails that are rather long and sharp akin to claws and he has long arms and legs,   his teeth are also quite sharp as the canines resemble typical vampire fangs while the rest of his teeth are pointed akin to the Hessian Horseman.    His facial features are rather Walken-like and are quasi- Brachy/mesoian/dolichokephalian in shape.   He possess a very high forehead,  thin eyebrows that are the same colour as his hair,  a rather small Walken-like nose,   an angular jaw-line with a narrow chin,   his eyes are spread out,  narrow and slightly sunken,  giving him a forlorn but menacing look.   His lips are slightly thinned out,  and are of a cresentian shape with pointed tips.
Influences:
-  Hessian Horseman (Sleepy Hollow).  His storyline is a spin off of the Hessian Hex saga which had his previous human self Nathan be cursed to turn into the Hessian,  and he takes very much after the Hessian himself especially when angered,  when he is angered or in a bloodlust driven mood his already blue eyes become aquamarine and his expression contorts into a menacing snarling expression and he becomes vicious when in this state.   This is rare but happens if he can't find any humans to drain the blood out of.
- Archangel Gabriel (The Prophecy trilogy).
-  Frank White (King Of New York) - He is neither good or evil,  he just follows his Walkeny instinct and kills if he has to,  but he would never harm a loved one.
-  Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare On Elm Street) - Like Freddy he can manipulate dreams, for those who dare to oppose him he gives them nightmares in which they have to fight their own worst fears in order to survive,  for hypnotize victims or thralls -  he gives them dreams of dancing, singing, and being Walkeny just like him.
-  Jareth (Labyrinth).  He has many things in common with Jareth including the fact he is also a dancer and singer.  This is also a nod to how Bowie himself was considered for Max Zorin in A View To A Kill but he turned it down because he didn't want to spend five months watching his stunt double fall of cliffs.
-  Captain Hook (Peter Pan Live). This Walken will sometimes take on the appearance of Walken's version of Hook from the musical especially when performing while being undercover so that nobody finds out about his true plan,  it is also indicated that even true Walkens can be affected by their own hypnotic powers and in the context of the Walken storyline -  Christopher Walken himself accidentally hypnotized himself while performing in Peter Pan Live which humans misinterpreted as being either 'drunk' or 'tired'.
-  Erik (The Phantom Of The Opera)
- Niahm (The Eternal/Kiss Of The Mummy)
-  Hammer Horror Movies,  in particular Christopher Lee as Dracula.
- Johnny Smith (The Dead Zone).  Back when he had his human mind and personality,  he was really scared and reluctant to become a Walken and to use his Walken powers because everytime he was told to use them it was to kill someone who didn't deserve it and he felt guilty for it afterwards,  but eventually once he was conditioned his Walken mindset kicked in and he grew to love being Walkeny and using his powers.
-  Slenderman (Urban Legends/Creepypastas)
-  Robert (The Comfort Of Strangers).  Yes,  a LOT OF Walken movies were studied in order for me to get him done right and this was one of them,  like Robert -  Chris the alpha Walken is sinister and alluring at the same time,  but you wouldn't want to get on his bad side..most humans who do end up paying the price.
-  Worm Jeff (Furbearingbrick's creation).
-  King Sombra (MLP: Friendship Is Magic)
- Sauron (Lord Of The Rings)
- Prince Vlad/Dracula (Bram Stoker's Dracula).  Both are vampiric types but despite their sinister reputation they're really sympathetic.
-  Hannibal Lecter (Silence Of The Lambs)
-  Dexter Morgan (Dexter)  -  Much like Dexter himself,  Chris doesn't necessarily go after anyone unless they've  been bad in someway - he doesn't kill unless he's in Hessian mode where he goes on a killing spree but he can easily suppress it.  This serves as basically Chris's own 'Dark Passenger'.
-  Angel/Angelus (Buffyverse).  He's vampiric but he has a soul.
-  Max Shreck (Batman Returns)
- Max Zorin (A View To A Kill)
- Vincenzo Concotti (True Romance)
-  Tall Man (Phantasm series)
-  The Boogieman.
-  Folkloric vampires.  Chris's weaknesses are a mixture of the Headless Horseman's weaknesses and folkloric vampire weaknesses as well as the weaknesses and limits of his own species.
- Maximillian (Vampire In Brooklyn).  Like Maximillian he is very charismatic in addition to being a very alluring and dangerous vampiric being and can also shapeshift.  Chris can turn into mist/smoke,  he can become a shadow, and can also become any one of Christopher Walken's movie roles except for Colonel Cutter though,  he can also assume his 'human form' (a Johnny Depp/Collin Farrell lookalike) and use that human form of his as a disguise during the day.
- Pinhead (Hellraiser series)
-  Jerry Dandridge (Fright Night 1985)
-  Combiesque vampires (Big Wolf On Campus episode 'Everybody Fang Chung Tonight')
-  The Phobiast (Big Wolf On Campus episode 'Fear and Loathing In Pleasantvile')
-  Vampires (From Dusk Till Dawn),   Walkenism works a lot like how vampirism works for the vamps in the Titty Twister,   in that it is viral and if you are bitten by a Walken or She-Hessian,  you turn into one.  How long it takes for the victims to be transformed varies,  sometimes it's a gradual process and other times it can happen instantaneously,  also most commonly...sometimes a human bitten by a Walken will turn on the night after the night they were first bitten.  Signs of turning into a Walken include ones appetite shifting to a more bloodthirsty one (human food and drinks will no longer suffice after that),  hearing Walken's voice in your head,  developing Walken-like traits and attributes,  voice changing to that of Walken on a regular basis,  the desire to follow and obey the Walken who turned you (including calling him 'master',  or if it's a She-Hessian who turned you - 'mistress'),  enhanced agility and strength,  the desire for more cowbell and of course having dreams of turning into Chris Walken or a character he has played.  Also the victims may find that their interests are shifting to things such as acting or dancing. Would-be She-Hessians find themselves dreaming of being with him and forever being loved and respected by him.
-  Grace Jones.  Just Grace Jones in general.
- Peina (The Addiction).  This Walken will only kill you if he feels you might be a potential threat to him,  or if he wishes to satisfy his bloodlust in someway,   when he feeds on the blood of his victims,  he does it for substance or to replenish his energy and strength if he starts to weaken slightly,  or to start the transformation of said victim into a Walken or She-Hessian.  He is pretty much in full control of his more vicious nature and has mastered the art of blending in among humans.
-  Reed Thimple (The Country Bears) -  A common trait of most male members of his species is an aversion to and hatred for bears and anything ursine,  Chris himself once let this get to him when he was in his human disguise at Walt Disney World...resulting in him going full on Walken and trying to attack the titular bears themselves only for him to get kicked out.   Also,  Chris has said on a couple of occasions that he actually blames the titular ursines in general for not only according to him 'starting it',  but also stealing his spotlight..let's just say it's not safe to mention this particular ursine band when around him,  if he's in human form -  it's a surefire way to not only tick him off -  but it's enough to force the Walken instincts and traits out once more...which is very bad if he's trying to blend in with humans.
- Nemesis (Alton Towers).  The Nemesis Creature and Chris have quite a bit in common as they are both mysterious,  misunderstood creatures that are otherwordly and are both respected and feared at the same time.  Nobody knows where he comes from,  nobody knows what he wants,   there are theories and then there is the legend.  That legend is one the Walken himself shares with Nemesis,  and nobody can come to terms with him...don't try to think about it either.
- Hexenbiests (Grimm)
- Cracher Mortel (Grimm)
- Candyman (Candyman franchise)
-  Feng (Balls Of Fury)
- Guardian Angel (Madonna 'Bad Girl' music video).  Sometimes if there is someone who has supernatural powers or is half supernatural being despite being human,  he'll send a 'Guardian Walken' to look after them and to protect them from anyone who may try and harm them,  this class of Walken serves as well...guardian angel types.  Chris himself will sometimes take on this role as a 'Guardian Walken' to look after the ones he loves,   in which he is paternal and fatherly.
-  Vanni Corso (A Business Affair).
-  Bruce Dickinson (SNL) Like all Walkens,  he just can't get enough cowbell,  it's also very sacred to Walkens and in Walkenlore as a whole because of how it's used for Walkenization rituals,  hypnosis,  and for soothing the Walken if said Walken is in their Hessian mode due to bloodlusting.  It's also a common Walken instinct for Walkens to desire more cowbell and it's encouraged that giving in to that instinct as well as the other Walken instincts is good for them.
- Hickey (Last Man Standing).


Character: Kate/She-Hessian.
Species: She-Hessian (vampiric warrioress)
Info: She is a fictional version of Kate Beckinsale who is married to Chris the alpha Walken,  she was turned into a She-Hessian after being hypnotized,  bitten and turned by Christopher Walken himself.  Originally she had sought out to slay Walken but she found herself falling under his spell and being turned into the She-Hessian she is today,  she now is married to Chris the alpha Walken and helps aid him in his quest to turn humans into Walkens and She-Hessians for their army.
Inspiration:
-  Selene (Underworld franchise) This one is inspired by my crossover pairing of the Hessian Horseman from Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow with Selene,  which is based on a scene in Click in which Morty played by Christopher Walken admits to having a crush on Michael's wife who is played by Kate Beckinsale who also played Anna Valerious in Van Helsing and Selene. In my mind,  the She-Hessian is and always will be Kate Beckinsale -  whether it be in written form,  IMVU form,  or in a movie casting.
-  Amy Peterson (Fright Night 1985).  In particular once she gets turned by Walken,  she becomes fierce but still alluring and seductive after he turns her like how Amy became fierce and also seductive after she was turned by Jerry.
- Rayne (Bloodrayne) -  they're both warrioress types who happen to be vampiric.
- Mileena (Mortal Kombat) -  They're both alluring, are skilled at fighting, and are seductive but also possess very sharp teeth.
-  Elvira (Elvira: Mistress Of The Dark)
-  Vampirella (Marvel)
-  Akivasha (Kull The Conqueror).  Naturally,  like Akivasha..Kate is extremely alluring,  hypnotic and beautiful but she has a bloodthirsty side and a rather fiery temper.  It doesn't pay to make her angry.  Also in the comics, Akivasha is supposedly a vampire-queen type at least according to 'Hour Of The Dragon'.
- Mina Harker (Bram Stoker's Dracula).  As mentioned in the info section above she wasn't always a She-Hessian but rather she was turned by Christopher Walken himself much like how Mina was hypnotized and turned into a vampire by Vlad in the aforementioned movie.   The story which explains this (titled The She-Hessian's Origin) is a homage to that movie.
- Maleficent (Maleficent).
-  Marsha Quist (The Howling).
- Akasha (Queen Of The Damned)
-  Katrina (Vamp).  Like Katrina she doesn't speak,  well at least not that often -  unless of course she's seducing her prey in order to hypnotize them and turn them into Walkens,  but other than that she doesn't speak that much...well she does talk when she's with Chris or with Jon who is Legrandzilla's character.
-  Santanico Pandemonium (From Dusk Till Dawn).  Both are alluring and seductive vampiress types that are not so alluring or attractive when their more vampiric nature takes over and they feed on the blood of their prey or would be thralls,  also it helps that like Santanico and Katrina she is also a dancer at the Walken's Den - a nightclub which is very much home to vampire types.
-  Xena (Xenaverse).  They're both fierce and inhumanly strong warrioress types who are also attractive.
-  Hessian Horseman (Sleepy Hollow).  Both she and her lover Chris the alpha Walken are inspired by the Hessian and share similar traits to him including the same weaknesses,  also when they're in their bloodlusting mode their icy blue eyes turn aquamarine and they become more ferocious and yes...both Chris and Kate sometimes make roars or snarling sounds when in this state.
- Julie Walker (Return Of The Living Dead III). Like Chris - and all Walkens or She-Hessians,  she has a hunger/thirst for blood that can cause her to go into a berserker like state if she doesn't find any suitable prey to feed on the blood of,   this berserker-like state causes her to become violent,  aggressive,  vindictive and savage and to attack others without warning,   luckily there are ways she has ways to keep this side of her at bay just like Julie does.
-  Morticia Addams (The Addams Family)
-  Alien Vampiress (Lifeforce).
-  Regine Dandridge (Fright Night part 2)
