Thriller Concept: Gash

Gash

Basic idea: A crime investigator is on the trail of a series of mysterious murders - all of which done to teenage girls - without any knowledge of who has conducted them or how the victims have died. The only clue to the crimes is a simple calling card left at each scene - A bloodied baby doll next to the body. As more is revealed about the murders, it seems to the investigator that the killer is not as human as originally suspected...

Characters:

Inspector G.Jeffories ('Jeff' for short) - This is his first case, but through his training and exterior knowledge of the criminal world, he knows exactly what he is doing and quickly gets into the killer's head. His enthusiasm for his work makes it seem more like his hobby than his career. Dresses formally - bright coloured ties highlight his youth, but the dark suits instate his professionality.

Officer Benjamin - A veteran police officer with a sharp tongue, Benjamin keeps Jeffories in order throughout his investigation... or at least, he tries to. He wears the normal British police uniform, but has his tie loose and collar unbuttoned to highlight the stress of dealing with such a jumpy Inspector.

Jaz Carling - Love interest of Jeffories - Very clingy. She constantly worries about Jeffories' safety, and this leads her to follow him on his investigations (learning things she otherwise shouldn't). She wears casual clothes - lots of wool - and heavy rimmed glasses, highlighting her geeky yet feminine persona.

'Joshua' -  The murderer responsible for these deaths. In early life, his was attacked by local youths with bleach and lighters, leaving his complexion leathery and white, and his features distorted. He honed his skills of murder on local farm animals, and now uses those skills to dispose of his rape victims. He wears tattered jeans and a dull, grey T-Shirt, highlighting that he once was normal, but is now feral and wild.

Rev.Gently - The local Reverend, Gently is convinced that Joshua is actually Satan spawn, leading him to attempt many times to cease the investigation to "Let the beast to get bored and return to hell". He is old and senile. Jeffories' atheistic beliefs force him to ignore any of Gently's attempts to cease investigation, no matter how difficult. Gently wears the White collar and Black Vicar's shirt along with a tweed suit jacket and old, brown trousers, to emphasize his profession and age.
