Need an Idea for a Costume?

Question: Need an Idea for a Costume!?

Even before seeing Tropic Thunder, I wanted to go dressed as another, entirely different person (like what Robert Downy Jr!. did) on Halloween!. I am a teenage boy with dirty blond hair, bluish green eyes, and moderate skin tone!. I've decided that I'll have pure blond hair, brown eyes, and really dark skin!. But now I need to come up with a good personality and accent for the character!. Could you maybe help me out!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Okay this is a tip I learned in theater class: Go people watching! Go to a crowded place and just study people, like at the mall!. There is so much diversity that you wouldn't be able to walk away without some amazing basic material!. Then think of your characters situation as though you were writing a book based entirely on him such as:

Name:

Birth date:

Origins:

Parentage:

Home life:

Job:

Dreams:

Goals:

Ect:

Maybe your parents were African American and German/ Light hair dark skin/ and your personality became what it was due to hardships in your life of being teased or your parents divorcing or some other traumatic event!. Plus you could do a German accent, just go to translation site's with sound!.

Hope I helped you out a bit and have alot of fun with your idea ;) Www@QuestionHome@Com
