★ Character Show & Movie Challenge ★

Hello, I have never made a challenge thread before and I am quiet nervous as I feel uneasy being on the forums. I wanted to see if anyone is interested in making builds from either starters to mansions all up to you of their favorite character(s) from a tv show or movie. Sometimes there are shows/movies with characters whose homes/workplace/school etc are never really shown or discussed. This would be a fun challenge I thought to put our imagination to work basing it off characters personality and ofc appearances. It would also get the community to get to know each other a little better beyond their builds and talk about their favorite shows and movies. There are no set rules for this challenge except to give a short bio of your character(s), try to avoid spoilers, but teasers are good in my book hehe. Everyone is a winner in this challenge and a great way for us builders to learn a trick or two from one another. I actually started this originally in my showcase thread as a personal challenge for myself. I need to socialize more and figured this is a great way to break the ice. Can't wait to see what you guys come up with and what shows/movies you like/love. I'm always looking for new things to watch while I build 
Hope we can all have fun, thank you letting me host a challenge.
Here is my take on the show The Magicians on Syfy (the show is also available on Netflix *hint-hint*
) I am not completely done with the characters yet, but will update my post as I finish them. I also have them in my showcase thread with more image details.
Grandfather Clock: There is a reason why each Fillory home showcases the giant clock and that is one of the ways to Fillory. The giant trees also signifies the giant clock tree in Fillory.
Alice Quinn: She comes from a wealthy family and has a very conservative style is why I went with a more cottage home and added a touch of castle like style to it. She was crowned High Queen of Fillory (another world as you will, a place of magic). The way she dresses is very old school to me, grandma but modern with the short length of the lace dresses. She is smartest out of the characters, book smart that is. I can see her living in this build I made as I feel it fits her style, it's also huge because her folks pay for everything. Her home is also haunted by her brother Charlie.
Alice's Fillory Starter:
Margo Hanson: Margo is like the Queen Plum if you will of Breakbills (school for magicians that no regular humans can see as it has an invisibility spell surrounding it). She is best friends with Eliot Waugh and they tend to party together after school hours. She is very outspoken and is extremely fashionable. While she plays the tough mean girl of the group, Margo has the heart of gold and is overly protective of her friends. She is self centered, but you can see she is deeply insecure. I thought it was fitting I build her a shrine as she takes her crowning of High Queen of Fillory seriously, she even dresses to the 9s for such an important role.
Margo's Fillory Starter:
Eliot Waugh: His character is very complicated and that goes for his sexuality as well. He is best friends with Margo. You'd think Eliot is the weakest magician of the bunch, but he is a lot stronger than he gives himself credit for, he is a natural at it. Fulfilling a deal with a blacksmith for a magical dagger, Eliot had to make a sacrifice for the group and marry the blacksmith's daughter in exchange for such a magical dagger, hence why I made this build a 2 sim home. A true test showed that Eliot bled pure royalty as a child of Earth and was crowned the main High King of Fillory, which made him feel uneasy ruling an entire land of his own. While Eliot and his wife Fen live in a lavish castle, I felt this starter would be fitting as a summer/vacation home, fit for a king.
Eliot's Fillory Starter:
Quentin Coldwater: Quentin suffers from clinical depression and is open about it with others, he is very much an expressive character. Having read the Fillory books since he was a child along with his childhood friend Julia, Quentin has always longed for such magical places to escape to. He learns many things throughout his journey with his new friends and life lessons he has trouble accepting. I felt this alcove home was best suited for Quentin and his melancholy personality. I was going for a wizard tower build, but with a "Fillory" magical twist if you will and I feel I have captured that.
Quentin's Fillory Starter:
William 'Penny' Adiyodi: Penny, in the colloquial, is an a - hole. He actively refuses offers of friendship and punishes his peers for any attempt to connect with him. But this attitude is the product of a lifetime of emotional neglect, for which he cannot be blamed. Also adding to his self-isolation is his magical specialty, which allows him to hear and read minds to little to no effort, given if the mind isn't shielded. Despite his dislike for others, he has deep feelings for Kady, whom he entered a "friends with benefits" based relationship.

This is such a good idea! There is so much inspiration to get from TV shows! Hmm, I will have to think about this one, and see if I can come up with something. Will definitely have to keep an eye on this thread, as there is lots of potential for some real creativity!
@jazztizz The Verdant was based on a TV show wasn't it?

I agree this is such a great idea! @Veriona your builds are gorgeous! I've never seen the Magicians but love a lot of things from the SyFy channel (which is why I named my game room "SyFy" rather than "Sci-Fi." I'm currently catching up on episodes of Helix but that got so weird in Season 2. Still, it would be very cool to attempt to make the Arctic Research Station. Hmm! Thanks so much for this awesome idea.
@Laebeth thanks for tagging me. Yes my lot Verdant is from the show Arrow.
Oh boy Helix, I stopped watching that after watching a few episodes of season 2, like what the actual PLUM?!? It went to for the weirdest turn ever that my brain told me to shut it off
I don't know why they went from zombies then plants, I just couldn't even anymore. You know I keep checking the library for the book, but I think the person who has it doesn't intend on returning it like ever. Same goes for the Walking Dead collection, I'm stuck and need some of the volumes and don't want to buy them, but people in my area seem to not know the concept of returning borrowed books. It's always like that isn't it, you read book and show/movie is plum. But I have at times watched first then read the book and found the book to be plum

My absolute favorite anime so far, no contest is (of course) Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Yeah, Haven't seen the original yet.
Code Geass is great too, don't like the actual animation on that one, but LOVE the story. Can't beat that show in plot twists, omg.
I've seen some of the standard ones.. Naruto. As that is the show that made me start watching anime in the first place. Fairytail, the first show I dared to watch after Naruto. But I can't do them now. Too big. Too many fillers. I've grown too much.
Also love Gintama! Oh it makes me laugh so hard. Hijikata and Sougo are awesome. Noragami I like, but my sister loves it. Last Christmas I managed to get a Yukine beanie on etsy for my sister. She loved it!
....anime makes me slightly excited. Look, here I am writing like crazy! Would be so fun to do something anime inspired! Oh my!

@Corwim I'm so tickled that you like Verdant! It was a blast to build. As for bad Netflix that really stinks.
@Laebeth
@Jazztizz Ooooo you finally started watching, nice one! I felt the same way as you, you just wait things will get "what the plum??" in that show. I am almost done with second season, it finally hit the roku syfy app so watching it in the pc/game room instead of cable box in the livingroom. Helix... I commend you for finishing it. My spouse and I just couldn't do it no more, same with the show Z Nation... it got too much for us
P.S. I will never go to Australia, sorry Aussies, but your bugs freak the living PLUM out of me, BIG NOPE.
P.🐸🐸🐸🐸. I feel like a teen talking about animes, my inner kid comes out screaming "YEAAAY!!!"
Here is my submission for the TV show Arrow.
Verdant
Inspired by @Corwim's no cc Arrow paintings, this is Thea's club in Starling City and includes an upstairs club-access only room and Oliver's secret room in the basement. I'll have a collage made soon, but for now here are several screen shots:
That hunk on your wall is hunky.
I get that A LOT though. That an people watching Border Control... sigh. I have people telling me they won't travel there because they are like crazy in immigration. No. They aren't. They catch stupid people who doesn't read. If you only knew how much food I have taken down there without an issue. DECLARE IT. That's all.
I've been in America. That's right. THEN you can talk about crazy immigration checks. I felt like a criminal entering
@veriona Sword Art Online! Yes! I probably have seen, or heard of some of the others you both listed, but I might remember the Japanese title. lol. And Fullmetal Alchemist live action coming soon.. eeek. I'm scared. Hold my hand!
Boruto! Haha. To be honest, I haven't even finished Naruto Shippuden yet. I mean, is the anime even finished? Last time I checked they were doing fillers... STILL. AFTER LIKE A YEAR OF FILLERS. Sigh. Alright, for Naruto I had my top 6. No particular order really, but I loved these characters oh so much. LOVED. Kakashi, Minato, Jiraya, Shikamaru, Gaara and Neji. Hard though. I want to put Hinata on there.. Lee.. even Guy. Tsunade.. ALL OF THEM. Except Naruto really. lol. And Sakura. She's useless.
I seriously considered naming my son Jiraya. Like actual serious. But it doesn't work well in Norwegian
EDIT: The Pain arch is the best one. Out of anyone. Just saying. The feels..

Pretty sure the manga wrapped up, then they gave birth to Burrito. I HATE his hair. I only have one love and that is MY Gaara, he's mine.
Wow @Laebeth I'm sorry. I was totally joking and did not mean to offend in any way. I hang around smart (plums) a lot - should have put "insert playful tone" before writing. Believe me, I know Australia is beautiful and has much to commend it. I have never heard anything about border checks. I'm sorry you've had some problems with that. You're right that TV dramatises things. Glad you didn't have any trouble with wildlife. I have never heard of Border Patrol let alone seen it though.
Again I apologize for any offense given -- definitely not intentional!
I hate written communication some times, so much gets lost! Like intentions.
I honest to God knew that both you and Veriona was joking about Australia! I can see how my response can be taken the wrong way.. Sigh. I should have used more emoticons maybe to illustrate it, but I tend to be very sarcastic. The problem is that sarcasm doesn't translate well when written
If I ever truly was offended, I would probably write you a personal message telling you so, and not making somewhat rude remarks on the forum.
So sorry @jazztizz! My intention was truly not to make you feel bad, thinking you somehow hurt my feelings!
@veriona 'Murica'!! Yeah yeah, not so bad but... you still have crazy immigration checks

I know all about that stuff too well, it took me a very very long time to apply for my citizenship and I was in hot buildings with a ton of others waiting for hours to be called for our verbal and written tests. I couldn't even go to the bathroom or eat afraid my name would get called and I'd missed my chance. It's murika to me because it's kaka here, in my area anyway. I don't like my home country neither, I'd like to live somewhere cold, less bugs that way.
I wasn't joking I would never step foot in Australia even during a zombie virus and that was the only place with vaccine. I'll take my chances with flesh eating zombies vs face spiders any day.
Edited in yet another attempt at brevity! @Veriona sorry to hijack your thread a bit. Shall send this to you by PM @Laebeth and @Veriona
I'd say go for it though! I mean, she says in the description that there are no rules, and that everybody is a winner, so I'd say that's a green light to do pretty much anything you want
