The Conductor

Background: The Conductor (AKA Fletcher Ow'll) is a bird-like being who directs incredibly dangerous action-packed movies for the popular movie production company known as Dead Bird Studios. Although he's not alone in this endeavor, as he constantly competes with rival DJ Grooves for the title of best filmmaker.

The Conductor hails from a country on Earth inhabited by mostly bird-people called the United Nests of Avianca - From Crows to Penguins, all kinds of birds live here. Not much humans or other species live here.

When the Conductor was but a young Owlet, He's had a fascination with two things in particular that he still has to this day; Movies and Trains. As a Owlet, he would often try to direct his own movies using crappy equipment in the hopes of one day becoming a legendary director like the other birds he knew of.

He wasn't alone in these endeavors, as he once had a friend known as Tux (Now known as fabulous & glamorous DJ Grooves ) who too wanted to become a legendary director. While Fletcher wanted to direct action packed Westerns, Tux wanted to direct celebrity-filled Dramas and would split ways.

One day The Conductor would buy the keys to the floundering Dead Bird Studios and believed he was on the path to accomplishing his dreams. Little did he know that DJ Grooves too had bought the keys to the studio to follow his dreams...

The relationship between The Conductor and DJ grooves would sour into a rivalry, each trying to out-direct the other for the acclaimed title of legendary director all under the same roof.

While his dreams to become a legendary director have yet to been achieved, he has achieved his dream of getting to operate his very own railroad line known as the 'Owl Express', A popular passenger line that crosses through a massive desert that is headed by a old Steam Engine restored by The Conductor's own cash. When not directing movies, The Conductor personally is the one who, well, conducts the Owl Express just for the of trains alone. He often uses the Owl Express in his movies.

The Conductor absolutely loves trains, especially old steam locomotives and has encyclopedic knowledge on everything about them. He gets especially excited when working with them, yelling in excitement when he blows the horn.

The Conductor loves trains so much that he often states that life would be meaningless if he was to ever lose his precious Owl Express.

The Conductor has a incredibly strong Scottish accent.

The Conductor is skilled with a knife and used it before.

The Conductor has three grandchildren he loves very much, but is infuriated by their lack of writing skills.

Appearance: The Conductor is a bird - or at least a bird-ish thing - despite not appearing like one. He is a small, biped bird, often seen in a black coat with golden buttons, white undershirt, and a purple tie, with black pants and shoes to match. He also wears a black conductor hat with golden trim. He has yellow feathers, a large feathery tail peeking out from under his coat, and winged hands. The most distinctive feature that he has compared to conventional birds is his head - he has a large, jagged beak, two pointy ears, with some fluff peeking out under the back sides of his jaw. His eyes are not visible, and the inside of his mouth is purple.

He is at least taller than a hat-wearing kid, though not by much.

Personality: The Conductor is a bird known for being loud, terribly imposing, outspoken and ultimately a diehard perfectionist who can be very irritating to work with if things don't go his way.

Most of the time The Conductor can be seen as rude or quite angry, often complaining about his rival, actors asking for safer working conditions or anything else really. He's also quite condescending, often stating that actors have very little part in the success of his movies, even when that's the opposite. He also swears alot.

When things go his way however he tends to get soft; He likes to give free rides on the Owl Express, Free screenings for actors and especially free refreshments.

The Conductor has centered his life & career around 3 particular things; Westerns, Over-The-Top Action and Trains.

The Conductor absolutely loves the Western Genre with a passion; Gunslinging Cowboys, Rootin-Tootin' Outlaws, Damsels stuck to railroads, Shootouts and everything that makes up a western he adores. As a aspiring owlet, he started off his career by filming his own Westerns.

The Conductor absolutely loves action in his movies, especially action that both endangers actors lives and stupidly over-the-top action that blows the minds of the people who watch it.

The Conductor believes in cinematography to a extreme even if it endangers both actors lives and his own; He uses real weapons, real props, real weather, real animals and especially real explosives. He'll even risk destroying the Owl Express (His most valuable possession) if it means getting the most authentic & best shots possible.

The Conductor absolutely loves trains, especially old steam locomotives and has encyclopedic knowledge on everything about them ever since he was a owlet. He gets especially excited when working with them, yelling in excitement when he blows the horn. The Conductor loves trains so much that he often states that life would be meaningless if he was to ever lose his precious Owl Express.

The Conductor absolutely abhors the movies his rival makes believing them to be boring, mundane drivel written by pecknecks that only a dope would watch. He doesn't like Drama or finer movie plots.
