characters

I've redone this page to be more like... well, like my RP character profiles. Forgive the cheese, but I find it helpful to have a quick summary and, yes, to have a real-world lookalike to help me with physical description.

I use the same characters over and over, and it's kind of to the point where they're ideas more than people. I guess these are my writing stereotypes, and I apply them in different combinations and situations.

Sebastian Alkwin // the clueless nice guy
	qualities:	gentle, weak-willed, reserved, intelligent, warm OR outspoken, friendly
	tell me:	How can I make the world a better place?
	birthday:	January 20, 1980
	info:	Sebastian is usually a passive guy who has a bad relationship with his father (August) and has either been unlucky in love or has lost the love of his life. There's another version of him that's outgoing, friendly, and kind of shallow, almost a complete opposite.

August Alkwin // the overbearing father
	qualities:	severe, manipulative, devoted, overprotective, ambitious
	tell me:	How can I protect my child?
	birthday:	???
	info:	August is usually an overbearing, abusive father who treats Sebastian like he's not good enough. He's a ruthless businessman and determined to win at any cost. OR he's an extremely doting father who tolerates just about anything.

Mark Reinhard // the optimistic scientist
	qualities:	easygoing, confident, cheerful, patient, loving
	tell me:	How can we be happy in an unhappy world?
	birthday:	???
	info:	Sadly, Mark doesn't get to do much as he's almost always the boyfriend/husband who's died in a tragic accident before the story began. He's very devoted to Sebastian and doesn't like August (unless it's the nice version).

Ethan Ross // the impulsive drifter
	qualities:	emotional, impulsive, self-doubting, resourceful, affectionate
	tell me:	How can I make things better for Jaden?
	birthday:	May 25, 1980
	info:	Ethan is awesome! He's a loving dad to Jaden and 100% devoted to giving his son a warm home and good opportunities. Unfortunately, Ethan has crap for self-esteem, but manages to cover it up with his bubbly, outgoing personality. The fairy version of Ethan is more confident, but also kinda seedy. :p

Jaden Ross // the genius boy
	qualities:	curious, mature, mischievous, intelligent, shy
	tell me:	Why is everyone around me so dumb? *facepalm*
	birthday:	June 13, 1996
	info:	Jaden is a bright young man who sees through a lot of the crap his father pulls. He's a shy boy, but stubborn and emotional like his dad, and wishes that Ethan would stop getting in the way of his own happiness.

Walter Teufel // the stable older man
	qualities:	practical, curious, brusque, confident, mature
	tell me:	Why can't people just settle down?
	birthday:	November 29, 1969
	info:	Walter is usually the resident crusty old vampire, OR a normal human. His personality is always the same, though: patient, long-suffering, and emotionally mature. He's in search of a stable, lasting relationship.

Julian Cambion // the loyal servant
	qualities:	playful, manipulative, charming, devious
	tell me:	How much for your soul?
	birthday:	a loooong time ago...
	info:	Julian is perfect. TOO perfect. That's because he's the favorite servant of a high-ranking demon. He poses as a vampire or a regular person while poking around in the human world, looking for despair to feed on.

Christian ??? // the tragic prince
	qualities:	loyal, devoted, kind, determined, possessive
	tell me:	How can I find Julian?
	birthday:	a loooong time ago...
	info:	Christian is a former crown prince of Denmark (really!) who gave up the throne because he was too sickly to rule. Julian tempted him with promises of the world he'd never had a chance to see, then broke his heart. Christian has been searching for Julian ever since, studying occult magic and demonology along the way.
