Character sheet time.
Remember those?
...
I wanna know if you guys can still get creative, cause I sure can't!
[spoiler]I'm bored, thought about this two months ago.
Might as well.[/spoiler]
Now. I know people here can create a number of overpowered untouchable main characters that have all the anti-anti-things and cheat skills and super healing, etc. Good times.
But how well can you make an [i]absolutely ordinary person[/i] with a generally normal life? No main character. No plot armor.
I'll give y'all a setting and a lil template, you can do the rest. No word count limit, I'll read it.
[spoiler]Try not to double up on other people's details. If you wanna make more than one person, feel free. Don't spam though, I want quality and well thought out characters, not randomly generated garbage.
No recreating real people.[/spoiler]

[b]Life Story Snippet[/b] (e.g. key life events, nickname origins, aspirations, maybe even family. Can be as lengthy as you want. Make it interesting or mundane.)[/quote]

[b]Setting:[/b]
[i]Late 1700s Europe, but like, vampires and werewolves exist in small numbers. [/i]
That last part won't really matter, but could help make things interesting.
[spoiler]*You can make em dirt poor or filthy rich. Old and dusty or new born babes.
They just gotta be human.
Maybe when you're done I'll give you a scenario for your character to go through and you can interact in place of your character. We'll see.[/spoiler]

[b]Name[/b]: Colin Colburn, Bruckshire Mayor [b]Age[/b]: 34 [b]Appearance[/b]: Upright, gangly, proud, greasy hair, distinguished, dirty teeth, noble, red-rimmed eyes [b]Clothes[/b]: A bedraggled set of clothes stolen off the backs of a bedraggled set of folk in the most gentry of manners [b]Profession/Education[/b]: Quite homeless and bedraggled, though rather educated, growing up with a private tuition and all [b]Life Story Snippet[/b]: Colin was born a Colburn, destined to inherit his family's coal mine wealth. Unfortunately, it was not to be, for he ran away in his teens to join a band of pirates. Unfortunate even still, it was not a [i]real[/i] band of pirates, for none possessed the brains for navigation. Still, Colin stayed, learning how to pillage and plunder the streets of London... from the sidelines of course (he was never one to wrinkle his smooth Colburn hands). But, being the prodigal son of his story, he decided it was high time to return home in his late twenties and reunite with his family... only... Colin's family was quite dead; murdered by the likes of Vampires, Werewolves, and Ghouls: an eldritch mob as it were. With his inheritance decimated, his family deceased, and his will diminished, he set out to do the one thing he was good at. Nothing. Perhaps... perhaps one day, Colin will have a chance to prove himself, to rise as a hero among the bedraggled street urchins of a bedraggled nation... but it is not this day. Or tomorrow. Or any time soon. Colin, though reduced to societal slime, was a gentleman. And gentleman... you see... do not hunt the eldritch mob. Selah.
