30 Days of Writing Questions-Day 5
Ganked from
zekkass
Here's the list
5. By age, who is your youngest character? Oldest? How about “youngest” and “oldest” in terms of when you created them?
I'm having a really hard time coming up with characters at either extreme of age.
I suppose the oldest would be The Doctor, but that doesn't actually affect how I write him, since he doesn't appear to be old. Same problem for Jack Harkness. I know I have to take Jack's experiences into account, but somehow I don't see him as an "old" character.
Youngest...I rarely write children and very few of the fandoms I write have very young characters in them. Does Test Card Girl count? Tarot Girl? Claire Bennet?
Regarding my own "creations," bff Jen was kind enough to point out that our Mary Sue, self-inserts were 18 rather than 16, so that Dimitri and his successors wouldn't be guilty of statuatory rape.
My most recent original characters are featured in my current NOVEL in progress. If you want to meet them, let me know and I'll put you on the NOVEL filter.
