Ever wanted to have a character in a novel?

luv • 27 July 2012 at 11:40 AM

This is a weird thread to make, I know, but lately I've been writing a story I hope to publish someday. The problem is, I'm stuck on a middle. Completely. Total writer's block.
So, this is a thread where you can sign up with a character (there will be a form to fill out and everything!) and I'll put a character SIMILAR to it in my story. I'm taking 10 characters as main characters (featured in more than one chapter) and 15 as minor characters (extras sort of.) Not everything you write would be the same in my novel, I can't copy things (so please, do NOT send in an application describing yourself, I cannot put that in my story) but I will base characters off the application. In return for submitting a character, I'll write a separate novel with all of the characters in it.

Think hard on if you want to do this. It sounds cool at first, but you never no how I might portray your character. Evil or good, magical or not, kind or rude, rich or poor... it would be MY decision. There would be an acknowledge to all users at the back of the book, but you could not get mad if your character turns out in a way you don't want them too.
That's all I have to say, please do not post, I need to post from my side, I will tell you when you can post.

Form*:
NAME -
~Every thing you write must be a material object or feeling. Last names/middle names are optional but will most likely be disregarded. Good names: Crystal (taken), Starlight, Matron, Gem, Jewel, Joy (taken), Faith (taken), Rose (taken), Knife etc. You do not need to choose one on that list, it would be better if you made your own.
Bad names:
Sally, Sue, Gary, Maria, Lisa, Christine, Sean, Evan, Ian, etc.~
AGE -
~Whatever you would like.~
LOOK -
~Preferably a picture, NOT of someone extremely famous, just found in google images or something, or a very detailed description ~
PERSONALITY -
MORALITY -
~light or dark, evil or good, or somewhere in between~
MAIN OR EXTRA CHARACTER -
FAMILY SITUATION -
~This will determine whether they are magical or not. Choose well, there is NO brothers and sisters in this book. At all, besides identical twins. ~
OTHER -

* Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING on this form that you fill out is subject to change. I will keep ONE THING from the form, maybe more. Whether it's look, personality, morality or name, it may be only one thing.

Rules you have committed to if you post:
1) I can change anything I want about the character
2) You cannot "withdraw" your character. Once you post it, it is mine, and I may use it in my story in whichever way I like.
3) It can not be an exact copy of you.
4) If you decide you do not want your character in my story, you cannot try and sue me or threaten me to give it back if I've already worked it too far into the plot-line to remove it
5) Enjoy having your name in print on the acknowledgements page!

Yes, two charries is allowed, as long as they are identical twins.

lynncrow • 27 July 2012 at 1:16 PM

@luv my semi-fictional character XP

NAME - Alexis or Sarreal *sucks with names* XP

AGE - 18

LOOK - 5'8, curly brown hair that refuses to be tamed, eyes that are hazel sometimes and green or brown at other times, average build

PERSONALITY - Funny and carefree with friends, indifferent to people she doesn't care to know, almost friendly to those she has no issue with, angry and spiteful to those who wrong her, when she is alone she is content and is in no rush to do anything no matter the importance

MORALITY - Neither, she disagrees with both side's endgames so she refuses to follow anyone. She will help her friends if they ask unless they are fighting each other, in which case she will only step in to prevent thier deaths.

MAIN OR EXTRA CHARACTER - Her constant companion, Dramus , the dragon. He is able to change into any four legged mammal. He is 9' with his tail, green scaled with brown eyes, wings that are able to fly but he rarely uses them. When he is another creature his eyes are silvery and his fur is goldenish. *May draw him later*

FAMILY SITUATION - Her parents angered both sides. They were forced to run and leave her behind when she was young.

OTHER - NA unless asked to add more XP.

@Lynncrow
Very intriguing. Although the main and extra character thing just meant would you want her to be a main character? Also, I normally like pictures to base on and describe from, so do any of these suit your character?

luv • 27 July 2012 at 1:58 PM

@Lynncrow
Yeah, she can totally have Dramus as a companion, I really liked that idea. It probably would've gone in "other" though. 😊
Thanks for the idea!
@Cynt5100

lynncrow • 27 July 2012 at 2:02 PM

@luv
whatever...i write my own rules XP
teehee
i was testing you and you failed miserably XD XP
^ favorite thing to say after failing XP

luv • 27 July 2012 at 2:09 PM

@Lynncrow
I changed it a bit, but she's still pretty much the same character because I liked her a lot.
@Tonto67
So sorry, just saw my PM's! I'm editing a bit on your character, but so far I like her.

tonto67 • 27 July 2012 at 2:10 PM

@luv
Okay : )

lynncrow • 27 July 2012 at 2:11 PM

@luv
im just that awsome XD lol quite a bit of that was me XD

luv • 27 July 2012 at 2:14 PM

@tonto67
@lynncrow
Well, that's cool. I changed your characters up a bit, the names and such, but I think you would still approve.

tonto67 • 27 July 2012 at 2:15 PM

@Luv
Yeah, the parents names were just random XD

luv • 27 July 2012 at 2:17 PM

@Tonto67
Here's what I changed (if you look it does say I have a right to change anything):
Name: River
Age: 12
Morality: Dark
She is a main character.
She doesn't want to be, but she is unfortunately magical, because her mother Marigold was storkless (Which she didn?t know) and transferred her powers to her daughter when she died (Which she didn?t know). Her father Dune is hiding it from her.

lynncrow • 27 July 2012 at 2:17 PM

@luv
^^ sounds good...i suck with names XD

tonto67 • 27 July 2012 at 2:18 PM

@luv

Oh, I like it 😊

luv • 27 July 2012 at 2:20 PM

@Tonto67
Excellent!
@Lynncrow
This is what I changed on yours:

Name: Spirit
Age: 16
Look: 5?8, average build, otherwise follow visual:
Morality: Against Blade. Total rebel. *
She is a main character.
Non-magical, but with the Storkless all the same.
Pet dragon named Dramus: He is able to change into any four legged mammal. He is 9' with his tail, green scaled with brown eyes, wings that are able to fly but he rarely uses them. When he is another creature his eyes are silvery and his fur is goldenish.

*Blade is one of my other characters
