This is two of my favorite dumb tv show, characters, from my dads time. Maxwell Smart and Chief It’s called Get Smart.

Maxwell: Chief, I have a quiestion 

...

Maxwell: Chief?

Maxwell: Chief???

Chief: Max. It’s 6:00.

Maxwell: ...

Maxwell: What’s wrong with that 

Chief: Its Saturday.

Maxwell: Oh... well...

Chief: Can’t you ask 99?

Maxwell: I did but she’s not answering me

Chief: Well, what is it Max?

Maxwell: I need a pancake recipe

Chief: MAX!!

Maxwell: ... sorry about that Chief.

Agent 99: Oh Max...

woah, this looks really cool. I’m going to try this with a few of mine. These characters are all part of a scholastic bowl team. From a failed novel for NaNoWriMo.

Oh, and some background information, this is how the teams work- 6 people per school. There are two teams for each school- 8th and 7th. Three members per team. 

shootscoresam- Samantha. 7th grade. She is the cheerleader of the group and is great at lifting spirits. Great at basketball. Her favorite subject is art.

AARON- Um, Aaron. 8th grade. He loves to be obvious. Also has a HUGE crush on a girl in his class, Summer. Other hobbies include annoying Emily. He’s great at remembering the dates in history as well as the countries, regions, and cities.

EmtheTrend- Emily. 8th grade. Seems like a stereotype teenage girl, but is actually really smart, especially in the literature department. She can be pretty grumpy in the morning before a cup of coffee. Also likes to banter with Aaron.

seavoyagerbastien- Sebastian. 6th grade. Awesome at math, and he does it for fun. Newly acclaimed star of the Mathletes team. Peacemaker.

metricmember- Chloe Jiang. 6th grade. Awkward with everyone but her teammates. Science nerd.

theBLOXmaster: Eric. 7th grade. He is great at remembering random facts about everything. Also a Minecraft fanatic. 

—————

shootscoresam: Hey guys! What’s up?

AARON: The ceiling.

shootscoresam: Haha, very funny.

EmtheTrend: Your sense of humor is NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD WAKE ME AT 6:00 AM ON A SATURDAY. 

seavoyagerbastien: Woah, calm down Em.

EmtheTrend: Says the person who PROBABLY WOKE UP AT FIVE TO DO MATHWORKSHEETS.

seavoyagerbastien: You know what they say, the early bird gets the worm.

metricmember: Funny you should say that, my chickadee just woke up. 

theBLOXmaster: A tsunami and a tidal wave are two different things. 

shootscoresam: Really? Didn’t know that one Eric.

AARON: I would disagree but something tells me I’d me proven wrong. 

metricmember: xD So trueeeee.

EmtheTrend: It is honestly so easy to prove you wrong. Remember when Clo fought you on whether Taiwan was a contry or not?

 AARON: You just had to bring that up, didn’t you?

seavoyagerbastien: Woah guys, let’s not fight. Everyone knows that Eric cannot be proven wrong. As for Aaron being easy to prove wrong, let’s at least give him credit for being almost 100% accurate on his historical and geographical knowledge. 

AARON: ALMOST?! 

shootscoresam: Come on A, you know you lost the battle on the Taiwan dispute.

AARON: Excuse me? 

metricmember: If you want to do it again I would be happy for the chance to ultimately win a word battle again. 

EmtheTrend: *smirks* 

AARON: Jiang I think I just heard the alert for an extremely boring rant coming up. I’m gonna opt out of this one. 

EmtheTrend: Ha!

So, that’s all for now. Feedback please! ^^

These are really funny! I think they're kind of fun to practice developing personalities, especially in realistic fiction stories where it might actually be important to know how different characters would text. For a little background, the three characters used here are counselors at a summer camp. Here's a name key with some basic personalities.

greenteagan: Teagan (he/him). Chipper, cynical, blunt, wears a lot of friendship bracelets. Short attention span, scared of a lot of things.

idan'tcare: Ida (she/her). Responsible, pragmatic, easily exasperated. Pretends to hate the other two but actually cares about them a lot.

swyr: Sawyer (he/him). Optimistic, cheerful, outgoing. Has Aspergers, a bit out of touch when it comes to social cues but always tries his best. A Good Friend™.

——

greenteagan: GUYS

swyr: HI 

idan'tcare: WHY ARE WE USING CAPS

swyr: IDK TEA STARTED IT

greenteagan: WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU IDIOTS

idan'tcare: in the med bay with alex

Here’s mine! Kyoto and I are on here together, so her charrie is with my charries. They are all united when they are told to work together to create a huge small town event called Hanes Day. 

Soapopera: Brynn is a musically inclined girl that goes to Braxton High. She had a small band that plays at school and town events and is well known in Braxton Hanes, the small town they are all in. She likes writing literature. 

Number14: Aedan is a charming, quite affluent guy at their high school. He usually gets all the attention for being at the top of his math and athletics class, and just being at the top of that popularity theme in general. He’s a good student and is known as a jerd (jock/nerd. It was a term at the high school I was going to go to), but can sometimes be sarcastic and rebellious. He’s dating Nami.

SurfSardonic: (Kyoto’s) Nami is a hardworking student who’s at the top of her senior class. She basically likes all activities, except for math (it’s boring, but she’s good at it) and is a phenomenal surfer (and, you guessed it, she has a sardonic sense of humour at times).

G4m315r34L: Theo is a large nerd when it comes to Star Wars, Star Trek, Sherlock, Marvel, DC, and a lot more. He’s also literally one of the best gamers in the world, earning himself an international title more than once, along with being good at science. He is socially awkward at times, but is really funny when with his friends. 

~~~~

Group chat name: Hanes Day Hectics

~~~~

Number14: yea, basically. I can pick you up if you want

Number14: oof. I texted on the group chat. Sorry about that guys •-•

G4m315r34L: oof noise died with 2017. and its fine. Who were you talking to anyway?

SurfSardonic: To me. At least I can see the difference between Aedan and the group XD

Number14: lol sorry

Soapopera: gm guys, rise and shine 

G4m315r34L: It’s 9 in the morning. 

Soapopera: And?

G4m315r34L: on a school day. 

Soapopera: Why are you texting in class??

G4m315r34L: cause I can...where are u?

Soapopera: At home. My vocal cords hurt and I don’t want to make them worse before Hanes Day

SurfSardonic: Thats right! The band is playing 

Soapopera: Yep :))And why are you texting in class too Nami, you’re not like that XD

SurfSardonic: Free period ^^

G4m315r34L: Not me, I’m a rebel :D Aedan, you gone?

Number14: sorry about that, kid in front of me just got his phone taken away, I had to hide mine for a couple minutes 

SurfSardonic: “rebel”

Soapopera: you guys finish planning yet? It’s in two days 

G4m315r34L: Yes, thank you, we did. And at least we bothered to show up to school today to look over the plans 1ce more 

SurfSardonic: I literally just read that as “ice”

Soapopera: wow, rude. I just wanted to make sure, calm yourself 

G4m315r34L: I’m calm ;)

Number14: Anyway Guys, maybe we can meet during 5th period?

SurfSardonic: Yea, sounds like a good idea. Theo?

G4m315r34L: its a date 

Ok. These are characters from a book I'm writing about 12 kids from the Zodiac (Aries, Taurus, Gemini, etc.). ZoZo High is a ...creative name, isn't it? Don't ask. Also, they're all technically 16, but their personalities feel like different ages. I'll put their personality age at the end of each person. Let's start with 6 out of 12, shall we?

ARI3Z--Ari. She's a Aries. Ria is her sister. She has a crush on Pi. Ari is a slightly hotheaded, loving girl going to ZoZo High. 16.

TVURUZ--Rusty. He's a Taurus. He kinda likes Jemma, but teases Ria all the time. Rusty is a teasing, stubborn, kind boy going to ZoZo High. 18.

CVPRLC0RN--Ria. She's a Capricorn. Ari is her sister. She has a crush on Rusty, even though he is like 3 years older than her… Ria is a smart, kind, caring girl going to ZoZo High. 12.

PIZ3CZ--Pi. He's a Pisces. He kinda likes Ari, but he would never admit it. Pi is a quiet, smart boy going to ZoZo High. 19.

G3M1N1--Jemma. She's a Gemini. She kind of likes Rusty. Jemma is a kind, talkative girl going to ZoZo High. 15.

SC0RP10--Scar. He's a Scorpio. He doesn't like anyone, so he says...but I think he has a crush on Virgin… (next post) Scar is a mysterious, sarcastic boy going to ZoZo High. 17.

LET'S START!
