Dresden

OK, so I just read something about creative excersizes for writers. One of them was to make a diary for a fictional character. So, while on hiatus from writing my book -- long story, it started when something happened between me and a friend, and it's complicated -- I'll be doing this until I can get my mind back to its original state. I'll have to introduce my characters first, though, along with the person they were based off of:



DRESDEN ROMAN: Our awesome protagonist. Growing up in a controlled environment is weird -- and she can tell you about it in detail. Her father died a few years before the story's told. She's a curious person with an addictive persona. Feel free to call her 'Drez.'
(Dresden is loosely based off of myself, with a bunch of aspects thrown in that I like.)



BENJAMIN FROST: Our awesome sub-protagonist. He's the leader of a band of 'rag-tag escapees' as he calls them. He's from a (kinda) far-off village, and came to Dresden's community/city under emergency circumstances with his family. At the moment, he resides under the city with the rest of the crew. Call him 'Ben'. If you call him Benji, he may get mad.
(I stole Ben's name from a friend, but he's the only character only of my sole creation.)


KEENAN JORDISON: Keenan and Colette are vampires. There aren't very many vampires left, but they're two of them. Keenan is the son of a doctor, and he and Colette traveled to the city for as-yet-unknown reasons. Ben found out about them, and inquired about their vampy-ness. He was interested and asked them to join him. They obviously excepted. Just call him 'Keenan.'
(Keenan's based off of my friend Dan who's writing a side series/prequel about Keenan and Colette.)


COLETTE MARKS: Almost total mind-twin of Keenan. Though, that might just be because they're vampires. She's a smart cookie -- and likes cookies, too. Just call her 'Colette.'
(Colette is based off of Dezzy -- Destiny -- who is Dan's mind-twin. She's Dan's Colette equivelant.)


MARYELLE 'ESPERANZA' HALMANN: She's got a similar story to Sparks. She's a runaway, like all of them, actually. She's a sensitive person, but nice to talk to -- she's good at comforting you, no matter what the situation, and always has a good idea. She also lightens the mood easily, she and Dresden do, actually, with their craziness. Feel free to call her either 'Esperanza' or 'Espy.'
(Esperanza is based off of Bekkah -- Rebecca -- and . . . is pretty cool.)


VALENTINE 'SPARKS' LOWE: Sparks and Espy have similar stories . . . each of which will be explained later, and in my book (or in here). Sparks is a red-haired maniac, as Espy would say. He's the kind of person who would pour glue on something because it looked fun. But don't be fooled -- he's smart! All of them are! Behind all of that spaceyness, there lies a ticking brain. 'Sparks' will do for him -- he's not too picky.
(Sparks is based off of my friend Tim, but I stole the name from a Shakespeare play -- 'The Two Men of Verona' -- Well, I stole the name Valentine from that one. 'Sparks' came on its own.)

I don't have any secondary characters as of yet. If I come up with one (or Dan does) I'll introduce them at the beginning of the post they're mentioned in.

Y'know, this might not be a journal, but a little series of side-adventures. Hmm.
