Hey everyone! So, I've decided to post character profiles I whipped up for (obviously) my characters, one by one and see what your response is, if you think they're too vague, or need tweaking or something like that.

Here's my MC's character profile: Celia Marie Longwood Attributes: Friendly, sarcastic, charisma that causes people to want to protect her and treat her like something precious, throws up or faints when she sees blood Physical attributes: Short, thin, long curly red hair, light skin dotted with freckles, brilliant green eyes Qualities: Loyal to the extreme, sacrifices herself for others without a second thought, tender and compassionate, but rises up to the challenge when strictness or firmness is needed, skeptical, very loving, brave spirit despite her drawback of being afraid of blood Skills: Sword fighting, loving someone with all her heart, sarcasm Main power: Water It is a tiny bit vaguer than it would be if I wanted to give away more. But I hate giving people spoilers. So tell me whose I should post next. One of the friends? A family member? One of the enemies? The villain? The leader of the "good side"? The romantic interest?

A few questions: 1. What does "main power" mean? 2. Does Celia have any flaws? 3. How does skill in sword fighting dovetail with being a short, thin girl who faints or throws up at the sight of blood? |

Those are all parts of the story that I didn't want to give away, lol. I know it sounds contradictory, but it's really not. I didn't want to give spoilers, like I said. |

How about the villain next? Good heroes need equally good (not in a moral sense) villains. |

Haha, yeah... Good villain? That would be indeed interesting. LOL well my villain is not good. Here he is: Vathatur: Attributes: Most blackhearted evil thing on earth Physical attributes: No one has seen his true form, no one who lived to tell the tale, anyway. The form he allows people to view is very tall, very thin but somehow still bone-crushingly strong, almost translucent skin with veins clearly visible, eyes like a cat's except red and unnaturally large, mane of extremely white hair. Wears black clothing and robes, and a black sword belt, with a long sword whose blade is made of some unheard-of black metal Qualities: He has none, but he is somewhat dumb at times. He's too sure of his own power, But as he is extremely strong, that fact may not benefit the good people... Skills: Just about everything involving scheming, maiming, torturing, killing... Main power: Everything, through black magic/witchcraft |

Why is he so evil? |

That's going to be explained in the prequel-ly type thing I mentioned  and basically he's of the devil

So, ready for another one? Who should I post next? One of the friends? A family member? One of the enemies? The current leader of the "good side"? The romantic interest?

I haven't even read the story and I already love Maxine.  How about the romantic interest? I'm curious. On another note, do you have any excerpts of this novel? Are you planning on publishing? It sounds interesting and I would love to read it.

Max is my favorite character, I think. Yes I do! The one I have (the good one, anyway) is the one I sent you that you can't read because it's in Tricky Subjects. I have the unedited version up somewhere, but it's so much worse than the edited one... |

| Post subject: | Re: Character profiles for my series |
Haha! Then I'll wait until I have access to the edited one. Now, how about that romantic interest profile?

Is that the MC's romantic interest or another character's? And also,he sounds like the perfect boyfriend.

| Post subject: | Re: Character profiles for my series |
The MC Yes he does! His taking the blame for EVERYTHING on himself is really annoying though. There's actually sort of a fight about him being TOO nice, as well. That was one of my favorite parts to write!!! So who should be next? |

*forgot about this thread* Okay, Sage it is, then. Sage is Celia's sister. Sage Joy Longwood Attributes: Cynical, sardonic, but nice enough, better once you crack her shell and work your way into her heart Physical attributes: Tall, slim but big-boned, brown hair that reaches her chest Qualities: Loving and giving, but only if she likes you Skills: None mentioned Main power: None |
