    Choose a gender.
    Female.
    Choose a place of birth.
    Boston, MA.
    Choose a hobby.
    Petty vandalism is about the closest thing to a hobby she can manage right now.
    Choose a past job.
    She's never been lawfully employed.
    Choose a present job.
    Pick pocket, dumpster diver and occasional odd-job girl.
    Choose a past love interest.
    Michael. But they were six, it didn't really count.
    Choose an enemy.
    Tater - family love aside, they have it in for each other. Were it not for the rest of their ramshackle mob being so fond of her, he would have had her gone ages ago.
    Choose a pet.
    Ludo, a mongrel dog who attached himself to Dill, and who Kitten made her keep.
    Why is your character not working at the old job?
    Because she never had one...
    Why is your character not with the old love interest?
    Well, you know how it is with that kindergarten love... Never lasts.
    Why does your character not make the hobby a profession?
    Vandalism doesn't really pay...
    How did your character make the enemy?
    By refusing to be Tater's human footstool, metaphorically speaking.
    How did the pet once save the character's life?
    He keeps her warm on unforgiving winter nights. He keeps her from becoming completely hardened by her life. That's as much as anyone can really save a person.
    What is the one thing in the world your character would do anything to avoid?
    Living with her family. Or foster care.
    Why?
    Because, no one likes to feel worthless. And no one likes to be ignored.
    What has she already done to avoid this?
    She's run away and made her life on the streets. Can we say commitment? Hell yeah.
    What do you see her doing in the future to avoid it?
    Pretty much anything sort of murder, maybe even that. Who knows.
    What is the one thing in the world your character would do anything in the world to have?
    To be loved.
    Why?
    You always want what everyone else seems to have, right?
    What has she already done to try to obtain it?
    So much, things that she's not proud of. Things that she'd like to forget.
    What does she hope to try in the future?
    Anything. Everything.
    What is your character's name?
    Her birth name is Jessica Greenwood, but everyone who matters calls her Dill.
    What is your character's age, and physical description.
    Ask her and she's tell you 'None of you business,'. But her real age is seventeen. She's a slight girl - a feature empathised even more by her baggy clothes. Her body has an androgynous shape and she is often mistaken for a young boy. Her dirty blonde hair is cropped in a tom-boyish style - longer in the front, where it reaches her jaw, than the back, which is tightly cropped to her head. She has a rather child-like face, her nose is slender, her pale lips are thin and bears a scar caused by a rather unfortunate accident involving a scooter, a lollipop and some rather rambunctious geese. Her forehead also plays host to the scars of puberty and an acne problem left untreated for a little too long.
    Write everything else you know about your character, right now.
    She likes to think she doesn't need anyone, except her fellow runaways. She's bitterly cynical at times, but she's secretly optimistic that her cynicism is unwarranted. She's smart, resourceful, and fiercely protective of her 'family', particularly the 'baby' of the group - Dizzy.​

    Choose a gender:
    Male

    Choose a place of birth:
    Philadelphia, Pa

    Choose a hobby:
    Songwriting/playing

    Choose a past job:
    Have never thought about that, probably worked a series of part time low wage jobs for a short time but bounced around.

    Choose a present job:
    Unemployed undergound musician who's dillusional about his band becomming discovered soon and making it big.

    Choose a past love interest:
    The highschool prom queen named Vickie who never knew he existed and laughed when he gave her a note.

    Choose an enemy:
    Benny because he's the one who he knows will try to interfere with he and Christopher's relationship.

    Choose a pet:
    Doesn't like animals, used to have a dog though but that didn't work either.

    Why is your character not working at the old job?
    Because he's destined for something better and working dead end jobs are just a part of the man's plan to keep people enslaved by the system.

    Why is your character not with the old love interest?
    Because he wasn't popular enough to be with her and he was afraid of attempting serious dating from that point on.

    Why does your character not make the hobby a profession?
    He thinks he is making it but his band isn't professional enough and there is too much better competition in the city.

    How did your character make the enemy?
    Because he treats Christopher badly, mostly because he didn't hide it very well and Ben could see what was happening and confronted him about it alone.

    How did the pet once save the character's life?
    He woke him up when he fell asleep with a cigarette burning in time to put the fire out before it got out of control.

    What is the one thing in the world your character would do anything to avoid? Why? What has he already done to avoid this? What do you see him doing in the future to avoid it?
    He avoids taking on responsibilities because he is afraid of failing and being humiliated. He has manipulated people to get from them whatever he needed to survive in life without actually having to work for it, ei: money. He could very well kill someone if he felt his system was greatly challenged and he'd have to face uncontrollable consequences.

    What is the one thing in the world your character would do anything in the world to have? Why? What has he already done to try to obtain it? What does he hope to try in the future?
    Heroin because he thinks it's the greatest high in the world. He's already been disowned by his family for stealing money/pawnables to get high.

    What is your character's name? What is your character's age, and physical description:
    William (Billy) Tarleton aka Buck Tarleton (stage name). He was born the same year as Christopher, 1953 so enters the story at age 24. He's 5'9" with a pretty lean somewhat muscular build although he's not as stocky as he used to be as a teen because of his heroin addiction. Despite his increasing thinness he is still stronger and bigger than Chris yet not so much so as Ben. He's got shoulder length brown hair and narrow green eyes.

    Write everything else you know about your character, right now:
    He's very manipulative and serious. Summed up his persona would be described as "dangerous". He rides a motourcycle, doesn't laugh much, and enjoys being in control. The more power he gets the more games he likes to play.

    Choose an enemy.
    Peter Fitzer, used to be long time best friends but a love interest and time had changed that.

    Choose a pet.
    7 Year old irish wolfhound named Devo, to keep him company on the farm his mother gave him the dog.

    Why is your character not working at the old job?
    There were to many old painful memories there, it was instinct that really drove him away.

    Why is your character not with the old love interest?
    He has an undiagnosed personality disorder resulting from PTSD.

    Why does your character not make the hobby a profession?
    In the small town where he works they are not open to new food or ideas.

    How did your character make the enemy?
    He a Peter Fitzer had shared house together, Peter began seeing a woman that was very controlling and felt being around someone with PTSD was dangerous, she is very ignorant and Peter Fitzer is very afraid of being alone. They had many confrontations about the matter which resulted in a bitter dispute in which neither one wants to talk to the other.

    How did the pet once save the character's life?
    Some nights would involve nightmares and awful memories, for a few months he had considered committing suicide but Devo would never leave his side and would seemingly read his feelings.

    What is the one thing in the world your character would do anything to avoid? Why? What has he already done to avoid this? What do you see him doing in the future to avoid it?
    He would avoid fighting and confrontations, he ultimately avoids drinking alcohol since he had a drinking problem in the past. When he is faced with the urge to drink he has an old log in which he chops at, the original intention was to hollow out a canoe.

    What is the one thing in the world your character would do anything in the world to have? Why? What has he already done to try to obtain it? What does he hope to try in the future?A villa in Mexico, it reminds him of a better time when he was younger and without emotional scars.

    What is your character's name? What is your character's age, and physical description.
    Paul Kraft, 42 years old. Paul would normally look 5-10 years older due to the amount of sun he gets from working outdoors. For some reason through genetics he was blessed with a young looking face. Unable to grow thick facial hair probably due to some asian genes he sport a patches of hair on his face time to time. He stand about 6'0 and is barrel chested, if you were to estimate his weight you would be wrong as he has alot of hidden muscle that you dont see. With a thick brow and bedroom eyes it becomes more apparent the longer that you look at him that he doesnt belong in Canada. Most of the time Paul looks like a very friendly man with a slight smile and a mildly hunched gait.
    Write everything else you know about your character, right now.
    Paul has often been described as a gentle bear of a man. The few that have seen him in his younger days when he was a drunk would not think that. Most would describe him as a simple man but only a few know how deep he is.

    A goldfish names Leonard

    Why is your character not working at the old job?
    she ran out of paint one morning, and her husband refused to let her purchase anymore, claiming her art was tedious and worthless.

    Why is your character not with the old love interest?
    He died.

    Why does your character not make the hobby a profession?
    She has arthritis and can only do it on warm days when her joints aren't locked up.

    How did your character make the enemy?
    When Faith slept with her husband.

    How did the pet once save the character's life?
    She was choking on a piece of bread and she knocked the bowl off the counter which in turn caught the attention of a passerby. He heard the crash because of an open window and saw her collapse. He ran in and realized what was happening just in time to save her life. May Leonard RIP.

    What is the one thing in the world your character would do anything to avoid?
    Public embarassment

    What is the one thing in the world your character would do anything in the world to have?

    What has he already done to try to obtain it?
    She left her husband once, but he found her. He is powerful, and he has ways of keeping her. He doesn't want her anymore than she wants him, but he is too proud to let anyone see that he has failed as a husband or a father.

    What does she hope to try in the future?
    she doesn't think about that anymore.

    What is your character's name?
    Racheal

    What is your character's age, and physical description.
    She is thirty eight. She has dark olive toned skin with a few tiny wrinkles around her green eyes. Her hair is short and dark and she wears it pushed off her face in a scarf, making her almond shaped eyes stand out.

    Write everything else you know about your character, right now.
    She loves her children more than anything, and it is because of them that she propels herself forward each day.

    Choose a gender. Male

    Choose a place of birth. Tacoma, Washington

    Choose a hobby. Drawing, playing guitar, listening to obscure music

    Choose a past job. Drug courier, army drop out

    Choose a present job. None

    Choose a past love interest.
    One of his former best friends, whom he blew off when she most needed him due to his own abyssmal depression.

    Choose an enemy.
    His 2 best friends gradually become his worst enemies, along w/ the other innumerable enemies he acquires along the way.

    Why is your character not working at the old job?
    He's been recruited by the Psychological-Weapons R&D department of a monolithic, evil corporation, basically.

    Why is your character not with the old love interest?
    He estranged himself from her when she most needed him, same as above

    Why does your character not make the hobby a profession?
    He has very few hopes or dreams for his future.

    How did your character make the enemy?
    The 1st becomes so after the MC defects from what he has realized is a vicious & malevolent organization. His former-best friend's loyalty to the organization is so strong that he swears his life to them, & to hunting down his former comrade.
    The 2nd is way too long to synopsize.

    What is the one thing in the world your character would do anything to avoid? Why? What has he already done to avoid this? What do you see him doing in the future to avoid it?
    His former love interest. B/c she is one of the very few ppl he ever cared about, & he betrayed her, more or less. She comes to represent to him everyone he's bailed on; everything he's not good enough to have; the impossibility of him ever having a normal relationship, let alone life.

    What is the one thing in the world your character would do anything in the world to have? Why? What has he already done to try to obtain it? What does he hope to try in the future?
    Originally his ambitions are petty: get a lucritive job, rise thru the Org's meritocracy, show Iris that he has bettered himself. Eventually however, most everything good in his life falls apart, shifting his aspirations from himself to combatting the encroaching world domination of the Organization that gave him a new life.

    What is your character's name? What is your character's age, and physical description.
    Tentatively/@ the beginning of the story: Lonen, 23. Muscular but extremely skinny; protruding cheek/collar bones, sunken eyes/cheeks, ect. Long, uneven, shaggy black hair (like Robert Smith of The Cure). Dresses in old, faded, modified clothes that could described as 'vintage', if anything. A worn-out black wristband poorly covers a thick mesh of overlapping cuts of varying stages of healing on his wrist & forearm. Obviously doesn't care much for his appearance.

    Male.

    Choose a place of birth.
    Turbolt's private lab.

    Choose a hobby.
    Does sleeping under fallen roofs on days off count?

    Choose a past job.
    Lab experiment.

    Choose a present job.
    Special Force Operative. (Military Grade Gene.)

    Choose a past love interest.
    Athena.

    Choose an enemy.
    Dr. Atkins.

    Why is your character not working at the old job?
    Still occasionally moonlights as a lab experiment when something strange and new happens. Failing any sort of excitement, routine tests are conducted to assess characters 'psychic' abilities as well as mental stability.

    Why is your character not with the old love interest?
    Something about the volatility of sleeping with ones superiors.

    Why does your character not make the hobby a profession?
    He wishes.

    How did your character make the enemy?
    Since entering Turbolt Cities Labs they have always had some animosity towards one another, especially considering Atkin's blood lust and over eagerness to cut up any Gene found useless.

    What is the one thing in the world your character would do anything to avoid? Why? What has he already done to avoid this? What do you see him doing in the future to avoid it?
    Originally his main aim was to avoid ending up on one of the dissection tables. This is easily avoided by being a superior Gene and avoiding ruffling too many feathers. To avoid this in the future I imagine he would flee the city.

    What is the one thing in the world your character would do anything in the world to have? Why? What has he already done to try to obtain it? What does he hope to try in the future?
    To find Turbolt Jnr. (upon finding out his still alive) and bring him back to Turbolt City to fix things. This will also be part of the reason he flees the city.

    What is your character's name? What is your character's age, and physical description.
    Characters name is Seven, he appears in his early 20's. His about 5'11 and fairly lean, his eyes are a dull brown along with his hair. He often wears his grey jumpsuit provided by work along with large boots.

    Write everything else you know about your character, right now.
    His a superior Gene capable of reading minds as well as physically deflecting others attempts to read his. He can also control others with his own thoughts and 'burn' out others minds effectively killing them. Seven has no real hope for his future until his path meets with a young Gene named Cross. She gives him hope with the news that his creator is still alive and that she has set out to find him. It's along with this news and a few events that unfold in the City that lead Seven to think he must venture out and pursue the man he once thought of as his father.

    (And again, sorry just love doing this exercise, always gets the mind thinking. That and perhaps it'll inspire someone else xD)


    Choose a gender.
    Male.

    Choose a place of birth.
    ...Earth ?

    Choose a hobby.
    Reading.

    Choose a past job.
    Angel.

    Choose a present job.
    Fallen Angel.

    Choose a past love interest.
    The Creator.

    Choose an enemy.
    Angels and Demons.

    Why is your character not working at the old job?
    He was sent to Earth to find The Creator. Upon finding Her he proceeds to kill her. Once back on the 'other side' he is cast down by his brethren and doomed to live a mortal life.

    Why is your character not with the old love interest?
    He killed Her. Simple enough.

    Why does your character not make the hobby a profession?
    Because his mentally unstable.

    How did your character make the enemy?
    By killing The Creator he made an enemy of his own kind. By being his own kind he is naturally an enemy to the other kind 'Demons'.

    What is the one thing in the world your character would do anything to avoid? Losing his immortality.
    Why? This would render him unable to protect and find the one he loves.
    What has he already done to avoid this? When he was thrown from heaven his resolve to stay immortal was so strong he somehow managed to cling to fragments of it. This has an negative impact as he is caught between being mortal and immortal, something that is slowly tearing him apart from the inside.
    What do you see him doing in the future to avoid it? He can't do anything to avoid it. He can either lose his mind and go insane or let it go and be mortal.

    What is the one thing in the world your character would do anything in the world to have? Her.
    Why? Because his so utterly in love.
    What has he already done to try to obtain it? Found Her and let Her go, as was the only way to protect her at the time.
    What does he hope to try in the future? Destroy all who may harm her.

    What is your character's name? Donovan.
    What is your character's age, and physical description? There is no description, his personality is too deranged for me to find any point to fix on. A blur perhaps?

    Write everything else you know about your character, right now...
    Thrown from heaven for disobeying his Sister, Donovan now wanders the Earth only able to remember he is looking for something.
    Stuck between his immortal and mortal self he has random bursts of destructive rage, also resulting in moments of clarity where he can remember who he is and where he was from. This often serves to break his mental state down further. As one can not be constantly shifting from one extreme to the next without some sort of harm been done.

    He still is.

    Why does your character not make the hobby a profession?
    His hobby isn't one that you could make a career out of.

    He joined Dragonmaster Robert, who is an enemy with Acel, and he is enemies with Aspidile because Roke threatens to oppose his invasion forces.

    What is your character's name? What is your character's age, and physical description. Roke Daft.
    Roke is fourteen years old although he certainly didn’t look his age. He was of slight build, and small stature; his height was so significant, you could easily mistake him for a boy of ten years. His thin brown hair was longer than the norm; down to his neck. His eyes were brown, a brown as deep as an ocean of molten chocolate. His nose was slightly crooked due to the fact he got in a distasteful argument with his uncle several years prior. His complexion was pale, although signs of a tan were present. His lips were thin, but wide which gave him a radiant smile, although he seldom did smile. He was wearing a brown leather shirt and trousers of the same variety. His shoes were made of a flimsy material that slightly resembled leather. His hands and arms were thin, which caused enemies to frequently mistake his strength.

    Write everything else you know about your character, right now.
    His intelligence is less than substantial. He is very strong, but his physical appearance says otherwise. He spends time with his grandparents, but goes back to his farm after they leave. He is cynrophobic (afraid of dogs/wolves).

    Certain family members that do not believe she is worthy of the fairy blood in her.

    none

    Why is your character not working at the old job?
    she has only had the one job at the theatre

    Why is your character not with the old love interest?
    She has not had a romantic relationship yet.

    Why does your character not make the hobby a profession?
    Swimming is her one escape in life, a place, time for her to think and relax. This is her one enjoyment in life and she wants to keep it that way.

    How did your character make the enemy?
    Her maternal family does not believe that she has any true power. They feel that because she is half human half fairy she is a second class citizen. A few of her cousins resent the fact that they have to work with her.

    How did the pet once save the character's life?
    n/a as she never had a pet

    What is the one thing in the world your character would do anything to avoid? Why? What has he already done to avoid this? What do you see him doing in the future to avoid it?
    I think right now she wants to avoid not having a purpose in her life, and being with her maternal family, she has a purpose, she has a place she belong- she is working harder than anyone to prove her worth. In the future she is the worlds survival. She does not want to be ordinary

    What is the one thing in the world your character would do anything in the world to have? Why? What has he already done to try to obtain it? What does he hope to try in the future?
    To be one of the wisest and powerful water fairies, to save her new world and be accepted by her family- to show she does belong.

    Damara Crane- she is 18 she has curly shoulder length black hair with blue/grey eyes like the oceans. She medium height, and as she has fairy blood in her, she has a faint shimmer, sparkle to her- her skin is very luminous

    Her mother dies when she was 15 and therefore could not tell her about her fairy blood, her maternal family live in a world called Lamaia- she is a water fairy and is part of a quad with her cousins who are air, earth and fire fairies

    None really, he wasn't really exposed (forgive the choice of words) to women in school, and those he met afterward were just too stupid.

    Choose an enemy.
    Lord Roderick Xavier Argon.

    Choose a pet.

    Being a magician, he has several pigeons at any given time, but one in particular that springs to mind is Clarence the Pigeon.

    Why is your character not working at the old job?
    He never wanted to become a doctor and he failed all his courses, so he finally stuck it to his old man and started living on the street.

    Why is your character not with the old love interest?

    She was too stupid, and didn't exist.

    Why does your character not make the hobby a profession?
    He did, actually.

    How did your character make the enemy?

    Argon was getting too close to his current love interest, and wouldn't leave her alone when she tried to politely refuse.

    How did the pet once save the character's life?
    There was this one time when he had been flat broke for a long while, and was ravenous and... well...

    What is the one thing in the world your character would do anything to avoid? Why? What has he already done to avoid this? What do you see him doing in the future to avoid it?

    He would do anything to avoid hurting Adrina Tess, because he loves her, and he knows she's been hurt already. She comes off as being quite tough and callous, but she's much more vulnerable than she'd like anyone to know. I can't exactly say what he's done to avoid hurting her, but I do know of a few times he's lost sight of it. On the night they first kissed, they were both wasted, and the next morning she asked him what he remembered. He was terrified. If he spoke honestly, his sentiments might not be reciprocated, but he couldn't say no in case she really did feel something for him, so he did the best he could under the circumstances, and said "I remember having a poor sense of judgment," true enough, but that's not what she wanted to hear. As soon as he said it, he knew he shouldn't have, but alas it was to late.

    Another time is when he spoke to her about his addiction to morphine and how difficult it was to kick it, and she offered to help. She did, but they made the mistake of placing her between him and the morphine and when one is going through morphine withdrawal, once tends to lose one's senses. He flung her out of the way, an act that didn't actually hurt her, but scared her. She wasn't afraid of him, but for him. He didn't know this of course, and was horrified at what he'd done.

    Another time is when she was sucking up to Argon (for circumstantial reasons) and he thought she was cheating on him, that he couldn't trust her and to be fair, she kind of was, there was no way for him to be sure of her limits, and she wasn't considering him at all. He said a few things, she said a few things, they were both quite broken up about it.

    What is the one thing in the world your character would do anything in the world to have? Why? What has he already done to try to obtain it? What does he hope to try in the future?

    The one thing is kind of three things, or one thing with three reasons. He wants to become famous, merited for his field of choice, rewarded handsomely for doing what he loves to do. (Who doesn't?) This he wants for it's own reason, but also two others. The first being, it would make him filthy stinking rich. Again, for it's own reason, but also because he then would have the means to spoil Adrina rotten. Something he would love to do, but never even close to being able to.

    He works towards it every day, making fresher, more impressive tricks all the time, doing everything he can to further promote their names and make them present in the minds of London's public. (Not much though, it's the 1880's and they're broke.)

    What is your character's name? What is your character's age, and physical description.

    Jonathan Cain, birth name Alfonzo Elek, aged somewhere between 18 and 25, black hair, a little taller than average, brown eyes, skinny of course - he's always starving.

    What.

    What is the one thing in the world your character would do anything to avoid? Why? What has he already done to avoid this? What do you see him doing in the future to avoid it?
    Getting a job. Not like a career - just some little highschool job. He's not old enough for one yet, but he knows he's gotta get one eventually. But he knows it'll be a big hassel, and a lotta responsibility, which are his two least favorite things in the world.

    Prosthetic legs - those fancy running-kind, that don't really look like legs. But, there's no way his family could afford them. So he's trying to keep his grades up, so he can get into a good college and maybe someday make enough money. But, that feels like a long way off.

    What is your character's name? What is your character's age, and physical description.
    Elliot Wong, 13 years old. His hair's kinda long, and he's got glasses and a long nose and the kinda face you'd love to put your fist through. Both of his legs are missing from the knee down, 'cause he threw himself off the top of a parking garage when he was going through his "angsty" phase. He doesn't like to talk about that, though - not because it's painful, but because it's embarrassing.

    Hasn't technically, however, Lobreil serves as an anchor of sorts for my character, as before his current love interest, he was depressed, he identifies with the kitten (which he saved from the pound).
