wow, grega. That sure is deep...the last question is, uh...interesting...but one could certainly generate a damn fine character out of that questionaire.
What if we all said one factor of a character and then we all added to it...then after like 40/50 replies, we made a new thread with all of our drawings?
Here's mine:
Blue hair

That's pretty cool. I've copied that into Word for future use. OK, So we are adding to this?...
Blue hair...
OCTOPUS There you go: a blue hairy octopus! Hey cyber, were you thinking hairy all over, or just a blue "do".
Good idea Cybercyst. Admittedly some of the questions are a bit odd but they all go towards understanding your character more fully.

I'll jump ahead to most treasured possession:
A blue pencil and a new tablet...
and if they inherited a million pounds they buy lots of blue pencils and new tablets.

What do you mean by this:
Moving onto this one instead:
When he/she/it (we haven't clarified that yet!) has all of his/her/its blue pencils perfectly sharpened and perfectly lined up on the table next to his/her/its tablet.
To be able to draw... :p
guys! every writer puts something of himself into his characters
but a little imagination wouldn't hurt :rolleyes:
