Plot details are still being kept under wraps for Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's "American Horror Story" project at FX, but the always vigilant Michael Ausiello has nabbed a breakdown of the four main characters, three of whom comprise the Harmon family, around whom the series appears to revolve.

Here's what we've learned from Ausiello's TVLine:

Ben Harmon | Though as sensitive as a woman, this 40ish therapist is also a man’s man.

Vivien Harmon | Ben’s gorgeous wife, she is a force to be reckoned with in spite of her vulnerable demeanor.

Violet | The Harmons’ 16-year-old daughter is a Goth with more issues than a Borders magazine rack.

Tate Langdon | This 17-year-old is as dangerous as he is seductive. And not “Glee’s Puck dangerous,” either; we’re talking “Charles Manson dangerous.”

The pilot will be directed by Murphy with production beginning in April. Should FX order the pilot to series, production would begin in late spring and debut this fall. In addition to Murphy and Falchuk, Dante Di Loreto will also serve as executive producer.
