I've got two main characters... Cora - who walks dogs -, and Gregory - who works in a science lab.



1) What's your character's favourite colour?

Cora's is orange, and Gregory's is a tie between blue and green.



2) What was your character's most embarassing moment ever?

Cora's would be when she accidentally blurted out that she and Greg (who she's secretly crushing on... lol) should move in together while they were on the run, since at that point they were just good friends.

... Greg, on the other hand, has had a lot of embarrassing moments in his life.



3) Does your character prefer sandy or stony beaches?

Cora like's sandy beaches, and Greg doesn't really like beaches, period, since he can't swim.



4) What would your character put on a pizza?

Cora like's vegetarian, while Greg likes ground beef and onions.



5) What is/was their favourite subject in school?

Lunch for Cora, and science/chemistry for Greg.



6) What is your character's deepest fear?

For Cora its heights, and for Greg it's water.



7) What is your character's favourite book?

Cora doesn't really like to read, but the last book she read was from the Twilight series. Its not her favourite, but its something. XD And Greg... he reads comics, if that counts.



8) Can they swim?

They both can't.



9) Are they allergic to anything?

Cora is, to pollen. Greg isn't really allergic to anything. Well, except cats.



10) Does your character have any piercings/tattoos? If not, would they like any?

Cora doesn't like needles, so she doesn't have either, while Greg just doesn't see the point of them.

1) What's your character's favourite colour? Black. Midnight Black.

2) What was your character's most embarassing moment ever? My character's most embarrassing moment occurs in the book, though prior to that he's had some pretty embarrassing moments. Because has the ability of power mimicry, he mimics the power of a supernatural being -- in the book, he encounters a boy with the ability of sonic flight and finds himself gravitating towards the ceiling in school. Though it was a bit funny, my character, Daxter, was very ashamed.

3) Does your character prefer sandy or stony beaches? Sandy. Stony beaches would probably hurt their feet.

4) What would your character put on a pizza? Probably just leave it cheese because he's a vegetarian.

5) What is/was their favourite subject in school? Their favorite subject is English, he enjoys reading and old literature.

6) What is your character's deepest fear? My character's deepest fear is oblivion. He fears the end of life as they know it, and he fears that he'll lose the ones he loves most. In the book, he has an itch that something bad might happen.

7) What is your character's favourite book? They don't neccessarily have a favorite book. He likes poetry, and his favorite poem has to be The Red Wheelbarrow.

8) Can they swim? He can swim, just not so well.

9) Are they allergic to anything? Nope, at least not this character.

10) Does your character have any piercings/tattoos? If not, would they like any? No they don't have any tattos, and just doesn't seem like the type of person who'd get any. His body isn't covered in tats but in burn marks.

1) What's your character's favourite colour?

She doesn't really have a favorite color, but she is rather partial to blue.



2) What was your character's most embarrassing moment ever?

She doesn't really have one. She's done a few things she found embarrassing in the moment, but usually they're sort of bad memories she prefers to block out.



3) Does your character prefer sandy or stony beaches?

Definitely sandy. She doesn't have time to visit beaches very often, but sand is more preferable.



4) What would your character put on a pizza?

Mostly everything as long as it's meat. She likes sausage and pepperoni, and olives are alright. She doesn't like mushrooms much but she'll eat them. She absolutely hates anchovy, ham, and pineapple on pizza.



5) What is/was their favourite subject in school?

Lunch. She hated school. If that doesn't count as a subject, she'd choose gym.



6) What is your character's deepest fear?

Losing her friends.



7) What is your character's favourite book?

She hates reading. She had to read a few books for school that she thought were ok, but definitely not good enough to consider a favorite book.

Yes, she's a fairly decent swimmer.



9) Are they allergic to anything?

Not that she knows of.



10) Does your character have any piercings/tattoos? If not, would they like any?

Her ears are pierced. She doesn't want any more piercings. She wouldn't really mind a tattoo but can't decide what she'd want anyways, and doesn't really have the money for it.

1) What's your character's favourite colour?

Sky blue



3) Does your character prefer sandy or stony beaches?

Sandy of course



4) What would your character put on a pizza?

Palmer ham and rocket. :P Yummy



5) What is/was their favourite subject in school?

Horse riding - he went to Eaton so although it's not technically a subject I count it as one



6) What is your character's deepest fear?

After almost dying in a horrific riding accident it would be that he is either paralysed or so badly injured that he would be unable to ride again.



7) What is your character's favourite book?

He's not really much of a reader but I'd say one of the classics. Probably something like Huckleberry Finn or John le Care

Of course, his uncle taught him how to swim in a lake near his farmhouse when he was 8, which was later left to Thomas (the character) in his uncle's will.



9) Are they allergic to anything?

Nope



10) Does your character have any piercings/tattoos? If not, would they like any?

He has a tattoo of a horse made up of different geometric shapes on his left shoulder blade and used to have his right eyebrow pierced but decided to leave it to heal over when he left Berlin following his uncle's death.

All right! My character is named Lester Roarke, and he's a writer...and a bit insane on the inside, because of his past:



1) What's your character's favorite color? (I don't actually know that, but I would guess that it was green)



2) What was your character's most embarrassing moment ever? (Maybe when he first met his best childhood friend, because she found him out in the woods by a stream, and he was crying because he was so angry at his dad. He hates crying, so that'd probably be it)



3) Does your character prefer sandy or stony beaches (As tense and harsh as he may be, I don't know many people who love stony beaches! Like me, he probably prefers nice sandy beaches, but rocks are always cool to stand on...haha)



4) What would your character put on a pizza? (If he's as much like me as I think he is, almost anything!)



5) What is/was their favorite subject in school? (Writing. Not English, just writing. He has very strong, hateful opinions toward the public school system and everything about it, and writing is his life)



6) What is your character's deepest fear? (Abstractly, his deepest fear is probably the things he doesn't remember about his past. He knows there are things he doesn't remember because not all the dots connect, and he knows they must be terrible but doesn't remember. Other than that he's afraid of mirrors, because he has nightmares of looking in mirrors and not seeing his reflection)



7) What is your character's favorite book? (Probably "I Am Legend" by Richard Matheson, or maybe "The Angel of Darkness" by Caleb Carr)



8) Can they swim? (Yes, haha, of course)



9) Are they allergic to anything? (He has allergies, but is not strictly allergic to anything)



10. Does your character have any piercings or tattoos? If not, would they like any? (No. He can be a bit of a punk, or at least was when he was a teenager, but he never liked tattoos or piercings)



Fun questions! Thanks! You should answer them for your own character(s)!

Cheers!

Okay, this is quite helpful because I'm just starting out a new book, so this will help me get closer to her, I hope. Her name's Iris Hale.

1) Blue (Her bedroom's all light blue)

2) When she was younger, she was singing really loudly in her garden, and her sister jumped out and yelled BOO! and she wet herself.

3) Hmm... She lives in a countryside/city place (Like Oxford, England) so there aren't any beaches. But I s'pose it would be sandy.

4) Mushrooms.

5) Literature

6) Having all her secrets spilled

7) She likes the classics, but doesn't really like romances, so probably Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, both by Lewis Carroll.

8) Yep, but doesn't really go.

9) Nope. Oh wait, yeah, Olivia Malum (Enemy)

10) Absolutely not, on both accounts



Thanks, good character bonding stuff ;)

Nella - A pocket knife. It might look very bland for a weapon, so it might be handed off extra as an average running factor - now not as some thing that might inflict deadly blows. It's small, so it may be hidden lovely good. Whenever she is agressive within the novel, that might constitute the popping open of the blades, given that she does not quite care who she hurts. She handiest exhibits her bloodless self that method. Bq: Did you comprehend it reduces your reporting vigor in opposition to a query in case you reply the query? --Yep. Bq2: If your important man or woman wrote fanfiction, what form of fanfiction might they write? What might it screen approximately them? --I do not consider Nella right here is way of a reader. ~Silly Turtle
