What inspired you?

Do you love writing for your character?

What atmosphere are you trying to get across?

I just like discussing characters with people and want to know more about all of your characters

Time to do a whole bunch of these, lol:

Jessie Diaz: The basic story behind why Jessie is the way she is, is that she suffers from Disassociate Identity Disorder. Something that for a short while was controlled by a medicine that attempted to (and succeeded) in combining her personalities into one. This part was essential, because while the identities are separated, they aren't whole. Just fragments of one whole personality, so to speak. Which partially explains why she jumps around from personality to personality as often as she does. This brings up an interesting question; how? Could it be that maybe, just maybe, her mental issues come from something more sinister?

What inspires me for this character? Well, I'd be spoiling something for like the three people who would get the inspiration, and that's three too many.

Do I love writing for the character? In a word, yes. My personal belief is that you shouldn't be writing the character if you don't. I mean, what's the point if you're not into it?

Atmosphere? Through all the inconsistent narration and first person view point, I'm looking at making a world where not everything said or experienced is what it seems.

Bonus: a random song lyric that I feel fits the character in some way, shape or form. Save our souls, or we're not coming back. - Trocadero's "35mm Man"

Luca Arzegotti: Why is Luca the way he is? In one word, PTSD. Undiagnosed, but there. As of recent months, Luca's actions with his fiance (shooting her in the head, for those who didn't know), have left in a world of guilt, which he tries to hide from in drug abuse. His own insecurity is masked in his cocky, douchebag attitude that couldn't be further from the way he really is.

Inspiration: Everything ever.

Do I love writing for the character? See previous answer to this question.

Atmosphere? Well, I guess just how low someone can fall, I guess. I'm all over the place with story telling, so keeping with one consistent atmosphere is something I don't do with the character, lol.

Song lyric: "Living like this we were already dead." - Trocadero's "Blood Gulch Blues".

Those are the two that I feel are developed enough to do this for, so that's where I'm gonna end. I thought I was going to do a couple more at least, but fuck it.
