Character Idea?
Hi, guys! My name is Stevie. I'm a potential member. I guiltily have two holds. One's pretty well-formed, but the other character idea is something I'm playing around with. Brandi told me I should post here and ask. Sooo, I'm going to!
Right now, he's faced by Matthew Daddario, because I love how dumb he looks sometimes. So my dude's early to mid twenties. He grew up in New York until he was twelve. His parents died and he moved in with his grandparents in Fall City.
He's gullible. It takes him a little bit to get some jokes--some things go over his head. He's a clerk at the grocery store with very few aspirations..because he honestly has no idea what to do with his life. He's not dumb, he's just...not a rocket scientist either.
The thing is he had an interest in fires. The ones he starts inside are totally accidental. He left a spoon in the mac and cheese and blew up the microwave. He fell asleep with the oven on. He left the stove to answer the door or the phone while something was cooking and got distracted--almost burned down the kitchen.
The fires he starts outside are intentional. But not because he wants to burn things--he just really likes the smell of campfires. And he loves s'mores. Again, he gets distracted, so he's probably left a couple going without putting them out.
I feel like he either has a roommate/bff that recognizes he's too dazed to remember to put them out/insists that he's not allowed to cook. And he's probably met with a forest ranger (wherever) at some point to have the talk about not starting forest fires. (It went right over his head.)
IDK. Thoughts? I feel like he's capable of causing trouble without being malicious about it.
