What does your character's bedroom look like?
Do they spend a lot of time in there, or is it only really used for sleeping?

Random time! I love random time. Why am I always being random with Neph's journal?

Anyway, I want to know about your characters favourite childhood stuffed animal. If they weren't the sort to have stuffed animals then what thing did they have that served that comforting, security blanket purpose?

I want what kind of stuffed animal, what it's name was, what color, and how your character interacted with it (i.e. slept with it every night only, dragged it everywhere with them, had tea parties together, etc.).

Alright, the randomness of Cozza continues.

There are four cardinal elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water. In alchemy as well as some pagan religions there is a fifth element of Spirit or Aether.

Identify your character(s) with one of the elements. If they aren't easy enough to pigeonhole into one element you may chose a maximum of two elements.

Explain why your character(s) suits this element(s). I don't care if you use definitions from folklores, from the directions, from alchemy, if it relates to their astrology or what, just justify it clearly.

I really like the idea of this community.

When walking past a street performer, how does your character react? If they had the time, would they show interest by watching the performance for a few minutes, or would they continue to walk past and go on with their day? As far as money goes, if your character had two coins in their pocket, would they be more likely to give the performer both, one, or none? And despite the way they act, what would they think of the person giving the performance?

Character meme/development challenge for you all!

This is optional for you guys but we'd love it if you'd answer this for any/all of your kids. We'll be putting up random questions for you guys to answer about your characters and we encourage you all to post up random challenge questions for people if they occur to you as well. All answers can just go into the comments of this or you can reply with a new post in this comm.

When finding themselves in a sexual interaction, whether or not intercourse is involved, is your character likely to leave marks on their partner, be they from biting, scratching or hickeys. Why or why not and what are the psychological factors that incline them to do so?

Note: The question isn't at all about the sex but about the thought process behind the action, the why.

An example of an answer )

Who: Dean and Eva Thomas
What: Eva drops by in the dead of night
Where: Dean’s flat, Plymouth
When: 17th September, 2002
Rating: PG
Status: Closed; narrative; complete
Notes: This makes sense to me, mmkay? And the character development comm has pretty layout so I’m spamming. Sorry. Plus, I’ve never played Dean and narratives are good for getting a grip on a character. Or something like that. 'Tis short.

The pounding on his door was loud and insistent, the sound of knuckles striking wood creeping into his dreams and forcing him awake. For a moment, Dean lay there, head pillowed against his arm and sleep still dancing at the corners of his brain. The knocking had temporarily ceased and suddenly he was positive he had imagined it. Twisting over, he buried his face in his pillow only for the knocking to instantly resume. Swearing under his breath, Dean forced himself up once more, feet swinging around and arms pushing himself up off the bed. Padding across the room, Dean lifted his wand from where it sat on the kitchen counter and opened the door, a yawn twisting his face.

“Wha’?” he asked, weariness etched on his face.

...and now I understand the problems you can see... )
