My First Character

  1. My first real entry in my blog.

    Y'know, for the longest time there's been a character that has been near and dear to my heart: Heridon Copper.

    I made him up after reading the third Harry Potter book for the first time in 2003. I got stricken with "The Writing Bug" as they called it and wondered if I could do something with Heridon.

    Heridon's been everything. He's been a boy, an adult, an elf, captain of a space ship, everything. I would think up of glorious adventures to put him in. He was...badass. My own little Chuck Norris, no I'm wrong, he was better than Chuck Norris. He was Napoleon, Leonidas, and Teddy Roosevelt all wrapped up into one. Powerful, courageous, and cunning.

    As I got older, I stopped thinking about Heridon, yet he is so engrained into my memory that once every now and then, I think about him. I smile as nostalgic creeps over me. Heridon "badass" Copper comes back, if only for a few minutes, to entertain me before departing once again.

    So, how about you? What was your first character?

    Well my first ever character were set of twins that I had created at 3 years old in Egypt. It's while I was playing with my power rangers toys. I called one Wostoe and the other Mooren. I'm actually telling the truth, I thought of these.

    I kind of imagining them being more like wizards and witches, also masters of martial arts. I thought wow, these are the closest things to God, and I still remember them.

    My first character was a poorly written group of Chinese kids. They were in a story I didn't even try on, so I consider my first character to be Maria Alexandre, French wife of world-renowned poet Lucien Alexandre.

    It definitely was NOT related to Theodore Roosevelt or even Franklin for that matter. My first authentic character was a fellow by the name of Daniel Hughes. I had never really created a proper story until I wrote that one - it was based on a distant relative of mine and when he first came to America about a hundred or so years ago. Turns out I got most of his life horribly wrong... I blame Martin Scorsese.
