dreaming of the future

just for funsies

I was thinking about the characters of Inception's backstories and how a couple of the actors (JGL, Leo) would be easy to draw as kids/teens seeing as they were child stars and this grew out of it.

From top to bottom, left to right

Mal and Cobb-meeting in the University in Paris , both gifted students of Architecture with shared ideals. I totes did not base young Cobb after Leo in Romeo and Juliet... c:

Saito-Brought up in a rich and elite Japanese family, business is in Saito's blood. From a young age, gaining power is his one priority.

Eames-The rebel of an upperclass boys private school in England (think Eton). He uses his talent for decieving and lying to his advantage in order to misbehave ;D

Fischer Jr.-Well we already know about his childhood, it was not so cool. Here lil Fischer is crying at the funeral of the one parent who took notice of him; his mother. We never see her in the movie so its okay to imagine she died early, righht?
EDIT:I watched the movie again and Fischers mum did die! When he was 11! It was mentioned in the film blatantly yet I must have not have been taking notice! How spooky, maybe my subconcious took notice or something. :EDIT

Ariadne-Just an average cute kid, more intuitive than most, who one day wants to make big crazy cool buildings.

Arthur-NO TALKING IN THE LIBRARY! CAN'T YOU READ THE SIGN? Yeahhh I can imagine Arthur as a top student seeing as he's dedicated and you know what they say, only people who have little imagination do well on tests (okay that's not a known saying but I think it's true ;D)

This is just my own musings on the backgrounds of the Inception team, so you can come up with your own (if you're as sad as me) it's not canon or anything
