Vlad Aranau Uttu - The Collector
(movie charatcer)

WARNING - This contest is for mature audience only.
Animal lovers... stay away.
(Topic can be changed upon request - yet I thought we might venture beyond our usual limits)

Mr. Vlad calls himself a collector. He’s in his 50’s and managed to gather some impressive collections. He has over 100 bodies of road killed dogs, and he keeps alive injured deer and boars, and even pays injured/mutated humans to live in his collection.
At his last found raising event organized at his domains, he wanted to take revenge on the Levi Straus jeans add campaign (where jeans were tested with two horses pulling one pair). He had “dressed” a mechanism into “jeans” and ripped a horse in two in front of the selected audience. He always thought people would love that.
Vlad Aranau Uttu is a mad man. No one knows how he is still alive and free. And… rich…

Now... concept!

I don't mind giving this another week. Nice to have a little breather between CHOWs.

**trev** · May 12th, 2006, 07:17 AM

Another week sounds good to me - should be plenty of awesome entries by then

**walnut** · May 12th, 2006, 11:18 AM

Yeah, and here's one of them

Mr. Uttu is an extremely charming and polite. It's definitely these traits, along with his keen mind and family treasure, which have brought him to the high places he's living in now. Strangely enough Mr. Uttu does not shield off his less, pleasant sides, but instead flaunts them in front of his peers. The Levi Strauss incident serves as a good example in this. Even stranger is the fact that this does not negatively affect his name and reputation. On the contrary, in several art circles his exposés have been hailed as daring new forms of expression. Little do people know that they've only scratched the surface of Uttu's peculiar interests. There are specimens in his collections which he only shows to the most select public, and all in the most private of conditions ...

So far i'm considering this done, but i'm not excluding the possibility that i might make some changes to it. We'll see

**Simon Boxer** · May 12th, 2006, 12:45 PM

I'd rather see a new topic... But that's probably because I've finished.

Vlad may be rich, but he has no desire for social interaction. As such, he doesn't care about his appearance or whether his actions are deemed unethical. He lives in an old shed set up to fulfil his twisted fantasy, but spends most of his time scavenging for new additions.
The people of nearby villages believe he suffers from a severe personality disorder.

**J.Mac** · May 12th, 2006, 02:21 PM

Oblio, i would like i new topic, but that is ok i can always give myself something else to do

-Jesse

**Oblio** · May 13th, 2006, 03:10 AM

WE WILL HAVE A NEW TOPIC.
i haven't become a hi-tech vampire not to be able to get on the forums from any point of the universe.
I've upgraded my gprs account - stand by.
so... GET YOUR FINALS IN TIME!!!!!

Vlad is vain and domination-driven, having custom tailored bondage-style suits made from the leather of road-killed animals. He has all of his outerwear(also made of roadkill) lined with the finest imported blood-red silks, to remind him of what was once inside the animals. Here he poses for another of his numerous portriats, which in addition to trophies of his collection, line the walls of his palace. Vlad is mad with power, and with a seemingly endless supply of wealth his family gained from leading the wealthy on hunting expeditions to the most exotic locations, he is virtually unstoppable.

The Last Days Of Mr. Vlad

After one of his infamous parties Mr Vlad started to retire for the night. On his way to bed he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Fearing a stroke he ran and grabbed the phone and slipped on a bit of animal entrails left over from his party. Failing over and cracking his head of the side of the counter he removed the top of his skull and fell to the floor. Unable to move or shout out, but still able to feel everything, he lay there for hours. Slowly the starving cats he let roam his mansion, so he could torture or shoot them at will, came out to feed. Not having eaten in a long time they began to fest on the incapacitated Mr. Vlad. They took three days to eat him and Vlad was conscious for most of them. To add insult to injury the judge who was appointed to see what to do with his vast wealth was shocked at the cruelty that Vlad had shown to animals and awarded all his wealth to P.E.T.A.

**Hunger_Artist** · May 13th, 2006, 04:15 PM

Vlad loved guests for dinner. He had a little room for everyone.

**Eskay** · May 13th, 2006, 05:14 PM

Mitze that is MESSED UP! Great concept!

**Simon Boxer** · May 14th, 2006, 06:02 AM

Mitze, that is truly disturbing.

Hunger_artist - Cool, your piece has an odd charm to it.

**Oblio** · May 14th, 2006, 09:18 AM

Vlad constantly reinvents himself, modeling his career after the late Madonna, the latest craze is sadomasochis-arabian excess... He started his career in 2069 with his "'69 dead animals" publicity stunt on new years eve, where he slaughtered 69 different endangered species with a chainsaw... while they were "69'ing" each other. He is the most popular Television personality since Oprah, and he is frequently compared with her.
