Assignment 7. character list

Thursday, Oct. 08
Required: Character List ▼

AKA Dramatis Personae. Draft a list of your characters and write a brief profile on each one (name, age, occupation or relation to main character(s) and rough physical description.) NOTE: You will have opportunities to revise the list throughout October, so this revision is not expected to be fully accurate or complete.

*** NEED CHARACTER NAMES? See the name generators at the bottom of the calendar.

Bonus: Character Database ▼

Compile your character list into a format that is easy to update and expand, such as an electronic file (or collection of files) or a binder with room to grow. Later, you will write more detailed profiles on some characters. Keep your list handy for future updates throughout the Prep.

Potential Character.

Bio Dad – Warran Thomas Miller. This will need an Aussie character profile. Since they are on opposite sides of the world, it is difficult to envision a “chance” meeting. This would require a deliberate scene, and I don’t see my main character being one to seek this type of “meeting.” But because I put it out there, it might just find it's way into a subplot.
