Right...so, I think that The Adventures of ArmorGames was the biggest hit I ever had on this site, and figured I'd use the same principle; use player characters. So, I'm writing a mystery story. To keep the mystery element(you know, it's not nice to know the perpetrator beforehand), you may not pick what you are, though you may request it in my email(jjnapper@yahoo.in). I predict that this will be a big project, so I will be accepting only the best. Because this is a mystery story, your sheet must be detailed for there to be a good storyline and character depth, you know. So, I will be writing the story, but you will be giving me the characters. Not that I can't make my own characters, but I think that having yourself in a story is a lot of fun(Moat will be making a cameo, of course). I will not divulge any further. This is, after all, supposed to be a mystery.

Name:
Age:19
Gender:Male
Weight:150
Height:6 feet exactly
Hair Color(style optional): Dark brown with a hint of red. He's kind of a borderline punk, so he had a mohawk, but it has grown out and he doesn't gel it.
Eye Color: Blue
Skin Color: Pale white despite his attempts to tan
Personality: He is cynical and refuses to see the beauty in the world around him ever since he watched his only family (he refuses to communicate with his mother), his brother, slowly wilted from AIDs (from a dirty needle). He went into a long battle with depression and has since come out of it, but he is still negative about the world.
He tries his best to stay away from people and out of the spotlight but he is a natural born leader and people often seem drawn to him because of his confidence and intelligence. Because of this he acts cruel and tough to keep people away but when it really counts, he will be there for someone he cares about. He is loyal to his friends but feels no alliance with anyone he doesn't know and will not help someone out of the kindness in his heart.
He speaks in a monotone voice and never raises it. He has quite a temper but he takes it out in other ways. He dislikes the person he is and takes it out on his health.
He wants to be narcissistic in a way, because he wants to think of himself as unique.
Background: His father left when was five and his mother coped the best way she could:drinking. His brother took better care of him then she did and was his idol, but he got caught up in some bad shit. After his brother passed away he was charged with some petty crimes but turned around and went drug-free and sober before he turned 18 and was completely responsible for his actions. He instead used art as a crutch, but like many great artists he's a little eccentric and mad.
What They Like: Booze, Drugs, Cigarettes, and hookers. I said he took it out on his health. (he ain't exactly the greatest role model.
What They Dislike: People who think they're better then him, golf (his father took him golfing before he left), chicken, and romance movies/stories.
Iconography(what they usually carry with them): He usually wears a dress shirt and jeans (never shorts, not even in summer) with a chain attached to the belt. The only thing he usually has on him is his pocket knife. He only carries money if he is planning on buying something.

Name: Ashe Cassidy
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Weight: 119 pounds
Height: 5'4
Hair Color: Maroon brown with a style likethis.
Eye Color: Deep blue
Skin Color: Fair
Personality: Light, petite and dangerously charming. She gives others a false sense of security. When someone new comes along she drops the old like a hat and doesn't give them a second thought. She likes to think of herself as reliable and loyal but the real truth of the matter is that she's all over the place, setting her own priorities for her mood at the time, not even 'forgetting' to do things but deeming them unimportant. Despite this, when she's friends with someone, she really turns up the charm. She'll get them anything, tell them anything, do anything for them (within reason), of course, a lot of this is an act. She is not as caring as she makes herself out to be.
Background: Ashe's mother gave birth to her at the age of 28, her father present, but sadly the young woman died shortly after. Ashe lived with her father until she left for college at 18. Her father always loved her but he didn't often show it. They were not very well off so he had to work every day of the week, 9am-6pm plus overtime on weekdays so this meant Mr Cassidy rarely had time to spend with Ashe. She taught herself the important things like learning to cook, doing the weekly shop, doing the housework when her dad was too tired. She didn't get to join in on school trips and excursions that cost money so she had to stay behind with the rough kids who couldn't give a dam about their education. She got in with that crowd, although she more often than not refused to take what they took. She would drink, though she never got too drunk. She tried a cigarette, choked, and never tried again. But she enjoyed the company and the freedom and the feeling that she was rulebreaking by hanging around with them but she never did anything that would get her in any real trouble. She had a smart head and she studied Basic Foreign Languages, Environmental Science and BSc Criminology. She knew the streets, and the streets knew her.
What They Like: Ashe loves to meet new people, no matter who they are. Her hobbies include reading, cooking, archery, listening to music all the time, etc.
What They Dislike: She dislikes distainful snobs, paperwork, daytime TV, fastfood, etc.
Iconography(what they usually carry with them): silver jewellery, quirky but fashionable clothes, a tiny notepad - you never know when you might need it, some form of music.
Miscellaneous: She once had a best friend. James. It was funny because he had the same last name as her. She was 6 when he died from a simple fever.

I realise I wrote a lot without really writing anything at all >.<

Name: Goes by Dude. And only Dude.
Age: 26 years, four months, and 19 days. Not like I'm keeping count though.
Gender: Male. Why else would his name be Dude?
Weight: 162 pounds.
Height: 6 feet exactly.
Hair Color(style optional): A dark brown, no particular style.
Eye Color: The same color as his hair.
Skin Color: White, with a slight tan.
Personality: Great sense of humor, but mostly he's serious. A bit quiet and on the shy side, and smart- very smart. Into mathematical logic, and trying to figure out the mysteries of science. You'd have to know him to know how he is, as he only shows slight expressions most of the time. You might say he's boring at first...
Background: Born in London. His family had moved to Ohio a year later. There he was raised by his family, and his younger brother John was born when he was three. They didn't get along perfectly, but they got along better than most brothers. When he went into school, he proved to be excellent. Most kids were in fact jealous of him. As years progressed he depended less on grades and became popular, not that he was your average dumb jock though. When he graduated he found himself not having any plans, but a lot of people suggested he go into science- so he did. One day he met the love of his life. They got engaged, but broke up soon after. He went back to London, wanting something in life... But what?
What They Like: Simplicity, gentle strolls, logic, and almonds.
What They Dislike: Complexity, cable TV, and sausage.
Iconography: A fancy cell phone, his grandfather's watch, maybe a pack or cigarettes. Most of the time he wears an old, ripped leather jacket he has owned for many years.
Miscellaneous:

Are we supposed to write about who we really are? My dude's completely made up.

No, this character is fictional.
Great, this is going well.
@Graham; Your character sheet was great the first time.
@Playa; Your character kind of needs to have a weakness. Can you do that for me? Don't want anything overpowered.
@Dude; No police officer will call you "Dude". You need a name. You can have a nickname and can specify that everyone calls you that, but you need a real name.
