[quote=Noxious] SO, just womdering Kingfisher....what made you go with Chessa? I only wander because I was thinking of naming my character Chessa B. and then you posted Chessa. I have no problem choosing a different name, but what are the chances, seriously? Crazy. Are we watching the same TV shows or something? I have no idea why I even thought of Chessa in the first place. [/quote] Shes a character from a novel I was writing that I scrapped, about a female serial-killer. She got a Cheshire grin at one point in the story, hence "Chessa". [quote=Lo Pellegrino] @KingFisher: I dig your character and think she'll do well here. My only thought is that the way you described her makes me think more psychopath, or close, than sadist. Does she develop emotional connections whatsoever, is it harder for her, or does she simply not give a shit unless she does? You mentioned she was on the spectrum of autism and I know some characteristics can be similar, so it might be worth some thought. Also, do you plan on her brother being a NPC/secondary? [/quote] I'd say she's a sort of psychopath with sadistic tendencies. Unless someone proves to be particularly amazing she won't go out of her way to make emotional connections, so I'd say she lands somwhere between it being hard and not giving a shit. I was going to leave the autism thing ambiguous, so it wasn't obvious QUITE how far gone she had become. I was thinking of having her brother and his friends in the introductory post, but I didn't really have any plans beyond that. Thanks for the feedback, BTW, it was very thought provoking.
