Charles/Charlie - Charlie is the protagonist in
the narrative. He is in his late teens and recently finished college. He
suffers from Fantasy Prone
Personality (FPP) which is a personality/psychological condition that causes
the individual to suffer from extensive involvement in fantasy and surrealism.
I have named the protagonist Charles after Charles Dickens, the famous British
novelist, because it was believed that he suffered from the same
condition. Additionally, Charlie also aspires to be a writer and has an extensive imagination due to his condition.
Dion - Dion is Charlie’s older brother of his
early twenties. Dion is a Fine Arts student at one of the colleges in Oxford. He takes drugs as a creative influence on his art, yet this is unknown to his father. However, within the narrative Charlie finds out about his drug usage due to Dion telling him to take them. Dion is an abbreviation of Dionysus of Greek Literature who is the son of Zeus, known as the 'merrymaker' as well as the God of wine and fertility.
Rob - Rob is the father of Dion and Charlie. Rob works at the local council as part of the treasury team. This is his second job in the year as he recently became redundant as an accountant at the bank. Rob doesn't have a significantly strong relationship with his two children due to his high amounts of hours working.
Jude - Jude is the mother of the two boys and wife of Rob. She works as a part-time nurse at the local hospital. She has a close relationship with the boys as she spends more time at home, yet it is evident she shows Charlie more affection due to his condition.
The family live in a fairly large three story house in Oxford due to their stable financial status. The houses in the area are all terraced with some students at the local collages and university living in the same area. Dion has a close relationship with a group of students that live in the area, who all have a great involvement in music and the Oxford music scene.
