Question: What do you think of the character i created for the School's play!!!!?
Hi, So my school's play is a murder mystery!. We have to make up our own character!. So, first of all let me tell you the story line well basically Some people get an invitation to stay at this island/mansion it's an isolated island!. Soon after, when they arrive at the island/mansion, they all start dying one by one and they start blaming eachother!. Basically they all die and the killer is the only one that lives!.

My character is Evelyn Rose

Occupation- I dont know yet!. Maybe she is a Scientist's assistant!. The scientist is a very wealthy man ( any more ideas of an occupation!?)

Family make up - She lives alone and has no social life because her family was murdered by ( a family member of one of the people who is invited to the mansion!.) Her family's murder is what makes her anti social!.

Physical description - Dresses conservative, hint of sadness and lonesome when you look at her!.

Hopes dreams and desires - She desires to have misfortune happen to all the members in the family that murdered her family!. Dreams of having the burden of her sadness lifted!. Hopes to have a mirable!.

Opinion of themselves - She believes that she is wise, she doesnt easily trust others, she is smart, she likes herself for who she is

Other people's opinion- some people think she is pitiful and bitter, others think that there is much more to her than meets the eye and they think that she is wise!.

Biggest fear- Her biggest fear is witnessing other deaths!. death has traumatized her!.

Style of clothes - She wears a lot of professional looking clothes

What do you think!? of my character think it will fit the story!?!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I like the character but I think it needs a little more depth then just her being sad all the time!. Most people with a background like hers tend to use humour as a defense mechanism!. also, trauma tends to motivate people to do amazing things and I don't know if Evelyn would settle for a scientists assistant!. Perhaps they are of equal status!? Maybe she is actually the more driven of the two but he calls the shots because he has the wallet!.

Murder mysterys are a lot of fun!. A great character building tool is to fill in every single detail you can think of about their life until the point which the story takes place!. Past experiences are often the reason why characters do what they do and say what they say!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

sure!

the only hard thing is!.!.!. why would an antisocial person be going to a party!? i did that sort of thing in a warm up game one time and my director was like!.!.!. y!?!?

haha but if ur ok with that cause they want to hurt all the people in that family, sounds good!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

ya but it doesnt make sense that she is upset and likes who she is!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There isn't nearly enough to her!. Someone, especially someone who's reported to be wise, has to have more than a thirst for vengeance to get them through the day!.
And why is she so wise, anyway!? How do people know she's wise if she's so bitter and antisocial!? How can she possibly like herself when she radiates sadness and loneliness when she's just standing there!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
