animated mesh character made out of water

How do I make my animated mesh character out of water? I tried inflow and fluid…with fluid it just drops and fills the domain box…with inflow it almost worked, because it seems it tries to get the form of the character…but still its not good quality (cant recognize its a human mesh) and the water flows on the ground and fills the box as well…how can i make it only the character made out of water without droping or flowing the water on the ground?? (I mean yea some drops are ok, so it looks like water, but not filling the box)
