1. She's got a cell phone and it's a pink iphone or razr.
2. She texts a lot.
3. Well . . . The "story" is that her mom died in a car accident a few weeks after she was born.
4. She listens to a lot of music, she's got the iPod touch. And if there's anything better in the future, she's got that too.
5. She likes um, all kinds of music except rap and that kind of stuff.
6. Favorite shade of nail polish is pink.
7. Favorite place to go is the La Jolla beach in San Diego, because it's fun beach and close to where most of her friends live.
8. Nope, she's never had a boyfriend.
9. Favorite candy would be laffy taffy.
10. Flower . . . Iris
11. Hairstyle, long and curly.

Sella Malin Okay, I need some help ... A long time ago, I got this idea for a story called Chipped, and I think it will be my Nano '09 novel. Only thing is, I don't have much of a strong MC ... I don't know much about her.

Name: Jayelynn Evans
Nickname: Jaye
Appearance: Wavy red hair, hazel eyes, freckles
Age: 16
Genre: Science Fiction
Background: Lives in the future ... is part of a group of friends who get sent to a government headquarters and discover a time machine there. They begin to find out this evil plot that the government is doing ...
Personality: I have no idea, she's a pretty flat character right now. All I know is that she's sarcastic, but that's like most of my characters. I want something about her to be different, you know? Help please! :D

If most of your characters are sarcastic, maybe it's time to do something else. She's sent to government headquarters. Why? Is she a genius, and they've recruited her to help them? What makes a genius tick?

Snobby?

Shy?

Brooding?

Mad? The insane scientist?

She's not a genius. She's sent to the government headquarters because she stumbles across a guy that the government has killed, so they take her to their building because nobody's supposed to know about that, and she's seen too much.

Sella Malin I need help. This is for my nano novel (I'm changing if from Chipped to a story idea called 300). I know basically nothing about my MC, Roberto; I need help making him round.

Name: Roberto Vasquez
Nickname: None
Appearance: Black, gelled, spiky hair; pale skin; dark blue eyes; hispanic
Age: 21
Genre: Science Fiction
Background: Lives in the future. Belongs to an organization led by a man named Marcus Lovac. Marcus invented a chip that could read minds, but he didn't know if it would work or not. So he hired a bunch of men to work for him (actually, he threatened to kill a bunch of men if they didn't work for him). Roberto was one of these men. Roberto helps Marcus kidnap a 19-year-old girl, and he takes care of the girl as Marcus surgically implants the chip in her mind and carries out tests on her. Roberto starts to fall in love with the girl, and so he helps her escape from the organization. But Marcus Lovac isn't going to let them go so easily ...
Personality: All I know is that he's obsessive compulsive, logical, loves numbers and is abnormally talented at math, and is a big coward, especially when it comes to killing people. I really need help on making Roberto have more personality and more depth. Please help :)

Kind of like Monk, right? LOL He'll be awesome.

Erm ... does he have any friends? Sometimes those who are closest to us bring out sides in us that others will never see. Does he have a family? Does he spend a lot of time with them? What did he want to do with his life before he was "forced" into working for Lovac?

Who's monk?

Friends: Yeah, he has a group of buddies that he hangs out with occasionally, but he's not really close to any of them.
Family: His mom and dad live in Spain, so he barely ever sees them. He's not really close to them. But, he's really close to his eighteen-year-old sister; she lives close to him and goes to college, and she always stays at his apartment whenever she has break, so he spends a lot of time with her.
Life Before the Organization: He wasn't going to college because he couldn't afford it, but he was working at Pizza My Heart. He wanted to be an architect, though.

He's a detective for this police department who has an EXTREMELY bad case of OCD. It's hilarious. You should look it up at hulu.com.

Just Plain Ray (Ray_of_Sunshine) | 2557 comments Haha, I love Monk! XD I wanted a Mink bobblehead but my dad said no :( Lol.

I need help with a character I just wrote up in my new story, and her name is Tuesday. She's a new employee at a bookshop that my MC works at, and thats pretty much the only thing I have about her except that she's blonde and will probably have blue or green eyes....and that's pretty much it. Help?
