Character Flesh Out

Here are the characters I see so far that we will need to flesh out:

The Father
I see him as the main character, and the story to be written through his eyes.  We need a history and motivation of this character. 

Need to flesh out secondary characters of the family, but not relevant to plot development such as wife, and any other children besides his daughter that he might have. 

The Daughter
What happens to this girl drives the plot, but it is the decisions of her father that create the moral dilemma. While her character will be used to illustrate the conflict within the father, I feel strongly that as the only main female character in the story that she be a well rounded character. 

We will need to flesh out secondary characters that she will interact with.  This will include school mates and siblings.

The Drifter
I see two distinct paths this character can take.  The reader can either know nothing about him or they can know everything about him.  We will need to understand his motivation and have sympathy for this character.  Depending upon which path this character takes (i.e. we know nothing, or we know everything) we will someone need to figure out how this monster can be portrayed in a human light.

We may need secondary characters developed here.  If we decide to discuss the history of this character, then we will need to develop the characters in that story.

The boyfriend
This character is allegorical.  He represents the "outside world" and he is ultimately the reader.  The outsider looking in.  This is a new world to him.  All customs, exchanges and details are foriegn.
