Oh, I need help figuring out my character..I've already got 12 chapters that she's been in, but you don't really know her personality that much..
Name: Charlotte
Gender: Female
Extras: Okay, so right now she's an immortal creature that I made up.
~Loves her siblings
~Isn't much of a risk-taker
~Nervous at times, but speaks up when she needs to help a friend
Mod
Am I supposed to answer that here? ><Or is that just something for me to ponder on...
(yes, I am a blonde)
Mod
Her friends: Ah well..she doesn't really have many..(more like one or two)Goals they share: To survive college...?
Are they good friends: You could say that..
Have they been friends for a long time: Nah, for like a week or two
Is she superstitious: Nope
Is she afraid of her own shadow: No, unless it starts talking to her ^^
Has she always had a tie to her family: Yep
Was there some accident that brought them closer: Actually, when her siblings (Seth and ROsemarie) became immortal creatures, they left Charlotte behind until she was old enough to become one herself
What is her favorite thing to do with her family: She hasn't seen them in 5 years, so she hasn't done much with them...
Mod
What are her friends names? Does she love hanging around with them? Is she good at her classes in college? What job does she hope to get? Does she currently work somewhere? What kind of immortal creature is she? Are there special regulations for immortals? How do they keep mortals from finding out they don't die? Has anyone ever found out? Was her reunion with her family uncomfortable, or was it easy?
Was this one for me or her? Oh... I just read the post... obviously 4 her... *blushes*
Mod
Friend(s) names: Uh...JackDoes she like hanging out with them: Yep
Is she good at her classes in college: Straight A student
What job does she hope to get: She doesn't exactly care
Does she currently work somewhere: Nope
What kind of immortal creature is she: Well, she's of my own design, but she's a demon of sorts
Are there special regulations: Only one rule; Never tell an immortal or they and you will die
How do you keep mortals finding out that they don't die: They genrally tend to stay in hiding, but if needed, they move frequently.
Has anyone ever found out: One person, but the Founding Five tend to not tell anyone about it
Was her reunion with her family uncomfortable, or was it easy: Easy
Mod
Kenzie wrote: "LOL, post 3 was for you. But you can use it to if any of the questions help you."Okay I answered... I'll put it down here, though so you don't have to scroll back through.
Interests: ???????????????????Coffee: Black
Shakes hand: Assertive, I guess....
Fears: She lives in a world where everything, everything, is based on beauty. That's all anyone thinks, talks or hears about. She is afraid of getting sucked into the madness. And, secretly, she's afraid of losing her prettiness.
Goals/Aspirations: ???????? As far as I know, she doesn't have any
Work: I haven't decided how old she is (Somewhere between 14-19) but she doesn't work.
Fav Store: They don't really have "stores". I'd explain, but it's complicated.
Pizza: She LOVES Pineapple on her pizza. :D (i do too... yum!)
Has anyone died because they were told: Well, let's just say that guy faced a very gruesome death...Who are the Founding Five: The founding five is a group of five of the oldest immortals in the world. Their main place of stay is in Greece on Mount Olympia.
What powers do they hold over other immortals: Well, they are very intimidating, and three of them actually have powers-
Leandros(the leader), can will things to do his bidding
Haytham(the youngest along with his twin sister, Gavina), can change blood into water, and vice-versa
and Dugald(Leandros' right hand man), is fire-resistant
Do they have to pay for the moves: Yes
What kind of demon is she: It's kinda hard to explain..
Does she have any special abilities: Nope
Does she enjoy college: She thinks it so-so
What kinds of things does she do with ehr friends: Regular teenage stuff...
Mod
I'm guessing that's for Tink...
Mod
Nah, and I posted answers on Post 16 *points*
I guess I'm just having trouble with appearance. Here's the character:Name: Cecile
Species: Vampire
Origin: France
Mod
About how old are the Founding Five? Do they talk to other immortals, or do they hide away and keep to themselves? Do people know their history? (Cool powers by the way) How do they get enough money to pay? Do they work regular jobs? Do they get money from the Founding Five? Do demons like her normally have special abilities? If so, why doesn't she? Does she know why? How come she doens't like college very much? Has she had problems there? Is she an outsider? Are her friends immortal as well? If not, are any of them onto her immortal secret?

Well post your characters' names here, along with a basic description of the setting/plot of your story (enough to get an idea of the genre, so nobody will ask about superpowers in a realistic fiction story or something like that). Then somebody will probe you with questions about your characters (probably me...) and you must answer them to find out about your characters.
Here are a few questions to start you off, if you don't feel like posting here:
