1. First of all, give me a flat, two-sentence, exposition-y description of your character.1
Robby is a intelligent seventeen years old senior in high school and he enjoys to bully people. He is tough, likes to fight, and is considering joining a gang, which isn't hard at all because he's friends with quite a few of the gang members already.2
2. Now the basics: what's his favorite color and why? (If he doesn't have one, decide which color best suits him)3
Black or dark brown. This is because he likes dimmer colors. It really shows his character.4
3. Favorite animal and why?5
cheetah, because he is agressive and fast like one. He really is inspired by both their strength and speed.6
4. Favorite number and why?7
13, because there's a fear of it. He likes it because he wants to be different. He wants to be what everyone fears and hates.8
5. Now the more advanced ones: If your character was restricted to living in a one-square-mile area for a month, where in the world would he pick and why?9
New Orleans, because it's the party town. He's "cool like that." He also figures he can do the most there in bullying, harming, and doing things to people.10
6. Say you heard that, without your permission, your character joined up hard-core with a religious group (not the one he belonged to before, if he had one). Which religion would you guess that he picked, and why?11
Radical Islam, because he'd enjoy the whole idea of terrorist attacks. He wants people dead and he wants to hurt them bad.12
7. Your character's on death row, and he's really guilty. What did he do, why, and--most importantly--what will his last meal be?13
He Killed a dozen people, ran for it and tried to kill more. 14
That was his life's goal after all. He had wanted to do something to those idiots ever since the end of elementary school. Everyone wanted to hurt him, He had done it, He's gone and got them for good. His last meal is spicy soup, and hot wings. He likes the spicy as it gives him the drive. He's still convinced he has a chance to bolt for it and kill more people.15
8. Describe a person who is the exact opposite of your character.16
Jennie's the nice sweet girl who enjoys helping people all around. She is even kind to the meanest bully. She had tried to be friends with Robert but Robert only wanted to bully her. despite of all her efforts nothing worked. She has never even at the end of Robert's life hated him.17
9. Since you're not writing your story right now, your character probably isn't doing much of anything. What is he doing to abstain from boredom, and what is he thinking about?18
plotting. He's trying to come up with another skeem to do something else to someone. He wants them all to be hurt in someway remember? He's quite content in hurting people you see...19
10. If your character angered you beyond forgiveness and you wanted to take revenge, what situation would you write him into that would hurt him worse than any other? Oh, and you can't kill him off, for plot reasons.20
He joins the gang and they beat him up really bad. but he survives by his will and gets revenge back at them. The result, five dead, and at least six injured. He's second to the leader of the gang after all!21
11. Now, don't you feel bad? Write a short apology to your character, telling him why he's important to you.22
Dear Rob23
You know I hated you at the beginning like everyone else. It wasn't right for you to do any of this. I called you evil and cruel like everyone else. but, I realize somthing Rob, I know you are aware, and I don't want to make you think I think you are stupid. but, I realized that it's because of your childhood and how people treated you througout your life. No one cared about you. Everyone laughed at how you make your plans. People laugh at how you think. I think you are brilliant. Not by what you do but how much you really know. I really enjoy your knowledge. 24
From an author that has learnt a lot from you and realized too much from your creation,25
Rachel,26
P.s. I hope you don't want to come hurt me... I want to be your friend, I swear I do....27

Author notes
I was going to put Robert here in to a story I hope to call Bully Bob or the life of a school Bully. We have always thought of bad people as bad. We've always said they do it because of there selfishness or what not. However, is this the case? Is there a motive or incentive?
this is interesting.
thanks for sharing it.
Thanks for sharing this Rachel. Very interesting.
