Character Talk!
Here's a chance...

Here's a chance to let loose your characters and give them a chance to be themselves and not in an ordered story line. I think there's been stuff like this before, I can't remember. I'll post as one of mine once this thread gets posted . . . just wanted to set it up. 

You can be under multiple identities, like if you want to have multiple characters. Characters are allowed to be rude or anything, if that's how they are.. we're all friends here.

The amazing kick-ur-charries-round-the-CB is back! Short pros this time, I'm crunched.

Iggy: A stubborn, cynical guy from Kentucky who has found himself in the House-on-the-Hill against all reason and logic. Has become reasonably skeptical of things as of late and any schemes invented by a thirteen-year-old space kid with an eye patch. Medium tall with muddy green eyes and brown-red hair.

Gavin: Said thirteen-year-old space kid with an eye patch. Certifiably psycho. Good at coming up with madcap schemes and building things. Really really short and has Tennant hair that's more dishwater blond than brown.

Penelope: A short, sassy Asian girl stuck in the reflection of a mirror. Has a tenuous relationship with the House-on-the-Hill (it does what she says most of the time, so long as she gives other people wrong directions). A feminist, can be a jerk about it sometimes.

Jack Lament. A killer for hire in the Turquoise Isles. Called the Smiler because the leaves a card with a smiley face drawn on it in the pockets of his victims after he kills them. Is currently working for Humphrey Hayward, a rich factory owner.

Azalea 'Leah' Hayward, Daughter of Humphrey. Thinks that she's ugly and useless, neither of which are true. Is still depressed over the death of her mother 11 years ago.

Ok so here are my characters from my book in progress, A Bird's Eye View:

Chesnut: A chickadee in the future who lost her family by some chemicals that seeped into their nest. She barely survived. Right then, a nuthatch a little older than her named Twilight found her, and Chestnut had been living with Twilight and her family since. One day, Chestnut decides to go see the human city, where all the chemicals and waste are coming from and destroying all the forests. She knows she has to do something to protect the last forest since every other animal is denying all the signs of chemicals. After spying on the humans (Twilight decides to come with her by following her) they get captured and the humans spray a strange liquid on them. It makes them go into a coma, and into an illusion that plays with your mind. So far they're trying to get out...

Twilight: A nuthatch that found Chestnut and saved her by bringing her to her family's nest. Became Chestnut's best friend. Is known to be very kind and helpful, but also a fighter for what she believes in. On the day Chestnut leaves, Twilight gets suspicous and decides to follow. She doesn't want her only friend to get lost out somewhere! So she follows Chestnut and comes out of hiding when they arrive at a lab in the city where the humans are experimenting on animals. She also gets trapped in the illusion with Chestnut. 

Diana (might change name): 13-year-old girl with auburn hair up to her waist. Niece of her Uncle... Austin who started all the chemicals, waste, experiments, and destruction of nature in the first place. She absolutely hates him, and wishes her father were still alive, since he loved nature and would never let any of this happen. When she finds out her Uncle has finally gotten the "right experiments", Diana knows it can't be any good. She decides to go into the illusion secretly, deguised as a goldfinch. 

...So what do you peeps think? :)
