Character Profiles (20/1/2014)

During the creation of my CYOA I decided to write a document so as to be able to refer to my characters more easily, thus making sure to define each one and make them unique and interesting.

Where I could, I decided not to give any of the characters a definite age, thus avoiding messing with the players age, when they were born or the rough time frame the game could take place. The only character I gave a specific age to was Captain Capri, as I merely came up with a good explanation that I felt warranted referring to it.

You can see the list of characters below, though I would advice reading the CYOA first to avoid possible spoilers...

Name: Jenkins
Age: Late twenties 
Gender: Male
Appearance: Black male who has a bald head and wears an orange jump suit and round glasses. 
Personality: Friendly, loyal, loves to tinker with things and hates being kept in the dark. 
Background: Long time friend of the player and mechanic. 
Inspired by: No one in particular. 

Name: Daniels 
Age: Early twenties 
Gender: Female 
Appearance: Olive skin, has short dark hair and wears a security outfit. 
Personality: Hot headed, cocky, tom-boyish and easily bored. 
Background: The player's partner if they are a security officer. 
Inspired by: No one in particular.

Name: Old man Bean

Age: Old / Unknown 

Gender: Male

Appearance: White male who wears an orange jump suit and has a plaited grey beard

Personality: Has a country accent, Bean is a warm hearted, hard working man often considered as a family man and the voice of reason.

Background: A friend of the players if they are a mechanic.
Inspired by: Scott Wilson's voice and facial appearance as Hershel from 'The Walking Dead' TV series.

Name: Captain Capri

Age: Thirty five

Gender: Female

Appearance: Wearing a dark blue navy uniform and a face which looks as if she’s sucking something sour, Capri looks older than her thirty five years. Her long curly red hair is mostly hidden under her captain’s cap.

Personality: Has a German accent. Capri is 100% dedicated to her job which makes her seem harsh at times although, it’s only because she wishes to complete missions to their fullest without any casualties. It also doesn’t help that she isn’t good at making regular conversation and unless it's mission based struggles to think what to say.

Background: Navy captain.

Inspired by: No one in particular.

Name: Miranda Scarlet (Woman in Red)

Age: Late twenties 

Gender: Female 

Appearance: A beautiful woman with smooth white skin. She has a slender body and long glossy blond hair with bright blue beautiful eyes and ruby red lips. She wears a bright red dress and a large red hat.

Personality: Mysterious, seductive, sophisticated and somewhat cheeky. 

Background: Lives with the mutants in a secret mountain base.

Inspired by: Fan art of the cartoon character Carmen Sandiego, though her hair is meant to be blond and her skin lighter.

Name: (Mutant)

Age: Forties

Gender: Male

Appearance: A six and a half foot tall mutant. He has sunken green eyes, sickly skin, a shaggy brown beard and both gills and fins on his neck and arms. He wears a long brown trench coat.

Personality: Wild and breathes heavily.

Background: Lives with fellow mutants in a secret mountain base. 
Inspired by: A character seen in 'Attack on Titan' whose name escapes me.

Name: Glaslo Briggs

Age: Late thirties

Appearance: A big black man with short dark hair and a goatee. He wears a dark blue navy uniform and has green eyes.

Personality: A determined and calm individual who believes in progress and is not afraid to do what must be done in order to survive. Some would call him cold and calculating, as if he is always judging with his eyes that seem to pierce into people's very souls. However, this is just his way of working out people are really like.

Background:The mayor's right hand man.

Inspired by: Keith David's voice and partly the appearance of the character he voiced in 'Mass Effect' David Andersion (Though his character is meant to have a goatee and be younger).

Name: Mayor Taro

Age: Eighties

Gender: Male

Appearance: An elderly Asian man with a walking stick. He wears an expensive looking white suit and despite his balding head, still has a well groomed moustache.

Personality: Intelligent, business like and honorable. The mayor is still going strong despite his age and occasional cough.

Background: Mayor of Home Base 2-7-1. 
Inspired by: Partly inspired by the actor George Takei, though obviously the character would be older. 

Name: Mrs Patel

Age: Thirties 

Gender: Female

Appearance: A heavily pregnant woman with long brown hair.  

Personality: A caring and kind mother.

Background: Expectant mother of ten other kids. 
Inspired by: No one in particular.
