Matthew Ross
Age: 255 (23)
Height: Taller, 5’10”- 6’
Skin tone: Very pale
Hair: Dark Brown
Eyes: Deep red
Face: Harder, but still handsome
Body type: Thinner, but more defined muscles than Damien.
Significant qualities: Vampire
Characteristics/History: when he was younger he was very introverted. After he was changed he became very extroverted. Since he was born it was obvious that he was different. He was often found talking to himself or would lose his temper with people for no reason. He was often cruel to the other children when they tried to get close to him. His parents became very frustrated with him and became very strict towards him. The only who seemed to accept him was his brother Damien. Matthew’s metal illness became more prominent after he was changed, but yet he seemed to be more aware of his actions.
I can't quite decide what i want him to do to cause conflict in the story. I don't want it to be anything too extreme, but yet i can't think of anything that big enough. I don't want my story to be strict, ';good vs. evil'; any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Here are my protagonists if that helps. They do not become lovers, just good friends.
Evelyn Shay
Age: 18
Height: Short, 5’2”-5’4”
Skin tone: pale, but healthy
Hair: shoulder length, layered, black
Eyes: Ice blue
Face: oval, classic beauty
Body type: medium build, not fat, not skinny either. Curvy.
Significant qualities: Witch
Characteristics/History: Very introverted. She is very hard on the outside and has trust issues because of the loss of her mother when she was 14. When her mother died she was left alone to fend for herself. Before her mother died, she taught her everything that she knew about witch craft. After her mother died, she studied almost constantly, and is now one of the most powerful witches of her time. She doesn't use the magic as much as should could though, only in extreme circumstances. She feels as though using it in everyday life for everything would be kind of like cheating. She does still practice her magic, but doesn't use it to do everyday tasks.
Damien Ross
Age: 251 (19)
Height: Average, 5’7”-5’9”
Skin tone: Very pale.
Hair: Dark, sandy blond, Short modern
Eyes: Deep red,
Face: Sophisticated, slightly angular
Body type: Medium build, muscular, but not overly so.
Significant qualities: Vampire
Characteristics/History: Extroverted. He has a strong sense of responsibility for his brother. Playful. He enjoys his life, and treats being a vampire as a gift rather than a curse. He feeds on humans, but refuses to kill anyone. He was born in 1758 to a poor farming family in America. He was basically the only one in his family who accepted his brother for his mental disabilities. He was changed by his brother when he was 19 in 1777. After living over 200 years he has developed a keen sense of reading people. (not mind reading) He meets Evelyn when she is being attacked by his brother Matthew. Because his brother made him, he is able to sense when he is near.
PS: please don't tell me the vampire thing is over done, i have heard it all already and i don't care. Also don't tell me my characters are like Twilight, because i have read the books and i know that they are not.
Thanks for any help!Help with my story please?
To help get the metaphorical ball rolling for me, I do several character development exercises. I pick one of the characters, put them in a situation (It really does not matter what the situation is. It can be completely outlandish if you'd like) and write a paragraph or two from that person's POV. Really delve into the characters psyche and find out what they would do in a situation. Usually after doing that for one or two characters, the writers block dissapears enough to at least get started. I think I heard somewhere that it takes ten minutes of writing for your brain to actually register the fact that you're writing. *shrug*. As far as what you've got going so far, I'm not a big fan, but that's more personal preference than anything else (not that the ideas themselves are bad). Best of luck to you though.Help with my story please?
Listen to some horrifying music or watch something similar to change your mood, which usally give lots of ideas that you can't stop writing.
Wow. Id love to read the book. i love vampires and have read twilight. your characters are very original and complex :) I dont know if this is too extreme but mabe Mathew could turn on Damien?? sorry if i wasnt help
Give it some thought, sleep on it, and think, write ideas, and it will come to you :)
Woah!! That sounds really cool!!! I think maybe Matthew and Damien should fight (not like fist fight but a fight with harsh words) for the first time in the book/story. Its not really a problem but i thought maybe it would help. I've read the Twilight saga too and I agree with you; your characters are nothing like the ones in Twilight.
