This is the character meme I have stolen from :icontoxic_fairie:, who stole it from someone else. Hers is much more entertaining, go and read it! And look at some of her fantastic art, while you're at it!
Write out the names of your characters and explain
1) how you thought of their name
2) what made you create the character in the first place
3) how the character has changed over time (if they have changed)
4) any random fun fact about that character
Maddox
1) I have no idea, really. It just...came to me.
2) I *think* it was for my flatmate-at-the-time Heather's world she was building - it had started out of a club in our Shadowrun game called Glitterfall, and has now become the behemoth she's calling disUrbe now. She's really into world-building, but I hope she actually does something with this one! Anyhow. Maddox was made to be the 'Hound' of the 'Hunter', which means there was this chick who was given the title of Hunter and she was a leader, and he was her diplomat and ambassador, as well as handling the things that needed a bit more...delicacy than the Hunter was generally known for. So yeah. He killed people, I guess...but kept it classy?
3) Oh MAN has he changed. Strangely enough, he's come fill-circle in many ways. He started off as a stylish, introverted, brutal servant of this woman, and then he became a character for my friend Mo's world in LA. He was her girl Di's lover, and he was sensitive, compassionate, loving...a really nice guy! WHAT HAPPENED, MADDOX?
I think the next place he really showed up was in Fractured. He's a thief and runner now, and he's ruthless, manipulative, still stylish and introverted, and entirely selfish. Oh, and he likes to torment his best friend, Roy G. Biv. He isn't exactly what anyone could call a nice guy.
4) He once killed his lover's friend and left the fellow to die on the tiled floor of a restaurant kitchen.
Geex, Maddox!
Kürten
1) My character Kürten shared the surname of Peter Kürten, an
extremely...uh, *prolific* mass killer dubbed 'The Dusseldorf Vampire'. His story is fascinating, and he is my favourite mass killer. I mean, you know, if I had one.
2) The Baroque needed a villain to do Newton's dirty work!
3) He's become deeper and more conflicted, and perhaps, in only three cases I know of, doubted the sanctity of his work as God's (Bloody) Soldier. One of these was due to a small boy, the other to an angel, the third to a whore.
4) He likes to strangle girls! FUN TIMES YOU GUYS!
