Your Favourite Character

So most of you have written many, many stories and made lots of characters for them. So lets put the character and ourselves through the ringer. Initially I thought maybe we could have a character tournament where the leader gives challenges and storylines that our characters have to face and see how well you did, then see who advanced to the next round. But then I thought well why not just write a story? So pick your most favourite character you've ever written on protagonize and keep the character exactly as they are and lets see if we could make a story work for them!
Haha! I think this is an awesome idea! If this works, it'll be amazing =]
~xx
I've actually done this before (only on a different site) I'm interested, count me in! :)
wow that was quicker than I expected :D lols, right before we start, I'm not great at hosting these sorts of things so does anybody want to take the reins? If not that's fine I'll do my best. Anyways, if you have a character, write a short bio for them, something like

Name:
Protag Story:
Age:
Appearance:
History:
Misc:

and if you guys can think of anything else, feel free to add to it. Also, has anyone got any ideas on where they want to take this or do you think its too early to tell?
Name: Garret Dawes
Story: A Chance Encounter (not posted here)
Age: looks 25, is actually 147 years old
Appearance: Tall skinny, handsome with immaculate pale skin. He has beautiful crimson eyes that glint like firelight. Tends to wear older style suits, but always looks immaculate. When he smiles he shows a set of perfect white teeth framed by two sharp canines. Has short lightly curled black hair. A golden clasp rests around his right wrist. (heres a picture just take away the sword- http://peterdawes.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d3cg3tb)
Personality: He has a dark, predatory, almost playful nature that hides under the cloak of a gentlemen. His manners are very old style including bowing and addressing others in a calming manner. Whenever his vampiric qualities take hold he is...sadistic, dark, dangerous and always enjoys toying with the ones he drains. Though whenever his human personality shines he is constantly kind and flattering, and simply a gentleman.
History: Was turned by another Vampire at age twenty-five while Garret was visiting the fledgling America colonies. For years he has lived as a vampire killing and dining on blood every night. Toying with his victims before their deaths and brining before their eyes, their own human mortality.

**Btw, What I suggest is after we get the characters just give a setting and go from there. Don't really plan anything and let the authors play off each other.

Hope that's good!

Very swathe hehe, and I like that idea, makes a lot of sense :)

Name: Brakken
Story: The Witching Hour
Age: 18
Appearance: Tall and thin. Has cold, silver eyes and medium short jet black hair. Very pale and gaunt face with deep red/purple bruises around his eyes. Usually wear a long brown trench coat with brass buttons and a hat with a black scarf around his mouth. Wears suits and smart shoes and carries a silver cane where the handle is a gun and a blade extends from the bottom. Looks young but very sinister.
Personality: Very self-serving and often embarks on crimes to gain personal power rather than anything else and to cause chaos. Very cold, calculating and reserved but also passionate and can be quick to temper if his buttons are pushed. Yet he is also very charming and charismatic to the point of theatrical when pulling off crimes that require it.
History: His mother died young, he was a bastard child when his Uncle forced his mother to sleep with him. His father became a violent, abusive alcoholic but was rich. He killed his father by accident and murdered his Uncle. He sold all his possessions and travelled the world learning all sorts of things.
*grins* I like him! I think Garret and Brakken will get along well. :)

So setting...Any ideas?
well interestingly, Brakken is from the Victorian Era... if you wanted to place it around that time then you could do Garrets early life, alternatively, I could push Brakken forward into a more modern times. I wrote 2 large stories (not completed here) about him and a third one in my head but I never decided on an ending. I could make it work if I push him forward. Its up to you =)
oh also, in his story, there is plenty of Supernatural stuff so it would work for me whatever happens :)
Actually Garret does come from the late Georgian era (around 1740's) so that fits nicely cause at his current age he'd be in the Victorian era.

You can keep Brakken in his time, it fits perfectly. 0.o weird, XD
awesome :D now we must wait for the other ppl to join... don't be put off by time people, doesn't matter how mismatched this may get, we WILL make it work :D
haha, how many do we plan to have on this? 3 ?
I would like as many as want to join, but we should probably put a cap on it somewhere whether it is people/time so we can get on with it...
*nods* yea, Every Collab I've been in that had lots of authors tends to die off :( But if no one else joins...I'd be good with making this a 2 person collab. It's all up to you though :)
erm, every collab I ever joined died off :( except trapped I suppose... oh and powers, other than that lols
yea 2 is fine with me, I wont say no to people though yet. Now is the waiting game.
Understood. Let me know when you start :)

My you have dark characters here... Dangrous ones too... it is tempting, but I have only one character who is *Elo glares* yelling at me. She likes the dangrous type and is essentially half werewolf; HOWEVER *Elo speak loudy to make Rachael hear her* she's from way in the future, as in born in the year 4002...

And now she's telling me that if they can do time travel in Star Trek, there's no reason Management didn't find a way to send her back in time....

She's also very foul mouthed *frown* (and sensual) but she can pilot anything that can fly....

No garentees on how quickly I can participate should you decide she might make an interesting addition. But she wanted to apply.... *Elo shrugs* I still don't get her.

hehe, I'm honoured you're even considering Elo and Rachael :) we'd love to have you join and time travel will make for an interesting twist, to make it work and not come off strange though shall be a fun challenge though I doubt she shall like my werebear friend Ursa the maid, hmm lols. You can join whenever you wish to :D

NOES! I just deleted a tone of text I had and now i have to get going so I don't have time to re post it.... QQ.

Um, I'll get back to you, with more on Rachael tomorrow.

(I just wnt to say thes men sound delish - Rachael grins)
*Elo sisghs* She's an dreanal junckie attracted to anything dangerous.
(I was once the consort of Pirate Travers, or what ever you called him - She turns to the others here - he's on the top list of people the governement wants to get for heanous crimes.)

Yes and now I have to go... Tomorrow I promise I'll get Rach's 'bio' up.
