Ughhh, really not in the mood to write, but I figure better to post sooner rather than later.
Name: Ella Lindgren
Gender: F
Age: 29
Position: Director of Photography. In essence she is responsible for the "look" of the film, how it turns out visually. Largely her time is spent managing the camera crew, lighting, equipment, and technical aspects of filming. She also likes to overlook some aspects of editing like color grading and special effects.
(pic just a reference, couldn't find satisfactory pic)
Appearance: She’s a bit of a tomboy, almost never wearing skirts or dresses. Kinda short and a little thin, she has a bit of a inferiority complex. Her hair is short and messy, so she just hides it under a hat. Wearing glasses bothers her so she just keeps a pair in her pocket only pulling it out when she needs to. Posture and elegance are things that she doesn’t have, although not entirely her fault.
Personality: Ella is hardly if ever satisfied with her work. There’s always something she finds off about her images, one reason why she’d never make a book; she’d be way too picky about what to put in it. She’s also way too stubborn and easily tempered. If someone keeps her waiting or is difficult to work with, she’d have no problem walking out on them regardless of who they are. She also tends to lash out at anyone when she’s upset. Although, she has been getting better with her temper especially recently. If you stay on her good side she can be jovial and fun to be around. Ella can be a bit of party animal, for better or for worse. After a few drinks she tends to get frisky and a little too friendly.
History: When she was young Ella her parents would take her to the family cabin every winter. Every year a deer would show up, and come unusually close to the cabin. The first time it came, Ella was afraid of it. A strange creature appearing in the night, who wouldn't be? The next year she saw it again, this time Ella's fear was overshadowed by curiosity. She watched it majestically strut about in the fluffy white snow, showered my moonlight, it was a sight she'd never forget. Another year passed, this time she bought a disposable camera to get a picture of the deer.
Years passed, and her interest in photography grew over time. Shortly after graduating she enrolled in an art school. During her short time there she made a lot of connections and became friends with a lot of students. She also squabbled with many of the teachers. Before she could graduate Ella got into a disagreement with her parents, which eventually led to them basically disowning her. Fortunately she was more or less self sufficient at this point, working as a photographer for a small newspaper. However she did drop out partially due to financial reasons and partially because she felt there was nothing left for her to learn there.
Working her way up the ranks, Ella eventually found herself overseas covering wars. Crawling through the mud alongside soldiers, the experience was terrifying but she couldn’t imagine going back home to her dull life. Eventually she would be forced to after getting injured by a landmine. The incident put a limp in her step, preventing her from returning to the front.
The sudden return home put her in a state of depression for some time. When she was over there amidst the gunfire she felt like she was doing something, making a difference. But back in the states, it was like no one cared. For a short time she made a living as a paparazzi and doing work for adult websites, basically whatever was easy and paid. It took a chance encounter with an old college friend to pull her out of her slump. Her buddy got her a job working on movies which was more fulfilling than what she was doing.
Miscellaneous:
Trying to quit smoking
Walks with a slight limp
Luke Clemens: Don't see why everyone likes him so much. Just another pretty-boy. I hate it when fans fawn over him like he's something special. Goddamit, it really pisses me off. Therapist tells me I envy him subconsciously, as if. Why would I want to be a boyscout?
Leila Anne Fox: Seems like a good girl, easy on the eyes, talented too. She's good at what she does, and doesn't complain all the time like other actors. Wouldn't mind working with her more often.
Maximillian Harrison: Nice guy, I guess. Kind of an airhead, always too cheery/annoying. Sometimes I wonder what planet he comes from. He should see some of the shit I've been through...
Harris Klein: Just an old drunk who doesn't know when to retire. He needs to take a long walk off a short cliff.
Jake Wilson: Does his job and doesn't get in my way. Smart guy too, I'm sure he's been around the block before. Not really my type but I'm sure we'd get along.
Phoebe J. Collins: A little childish I'd say. She gets annoying sometimes, but I don't mind. I like having her on set, makes things less dreary.
Leo P N B Xavier: He doesn't bother me, which is more than I can say for some people. As long as he doesn't ruin the scene with some gaudy outfit design we won't have any problems.
Amy Ho: A bit too nosy if you ask me. Always bothering me with schedules and whatnot, bugging me when I'm trying to think. Jeez, why can't she just let me work in peace?
Vyacheslav Piotr Zolnerowich-Wahlstein: That name a quite a mouthful. I don't really see much of him, he tends to stay out of my way. If only more people were like that...
Max Goldstein: Friendly guy, and surprisingly not a control freak. He doesn't piss me off nearly as much as other business men, which is quite a feat. As long as he doesn't tell me what to do we won't have a problem.
Addison Matthews: Ugh, models. Not always the brightest bunch. But Addy seems alright. She brings me coffee and does what I tell her, what more can I ask for?

Since you aren't up for anymore writing, and I think Miso is aslep or busy, you can probably read over the accepted characters to get an idea of Ella's thoughts on 'em. I don't think a relationship sheet is a big priority, but it is something that'd be nice to have. It makes you actually read all the CSes, so you know other people's characters, or at least give you a general idea of 'em (I sometimes have that problem and I understand why someone wouldn't wanna read mine. I overdo them and make them a little on the lengthy side >_< but, I uh, try and make 'em pretty... :( ). *Shrug* I think it's fun and a good way to spend time getting to know characters, specifically your own, before jumping into the RP. :o
I don't think I have the power to accept it, but I don't see anything wrong, if that assures you any. :)
If you have any questions on how to go about the relationship sheet, go ahead and ask, and I can do my best to answer while Miso is offline. :D

You're so helpful, Sixsmith.

You're so helpful, Sixsmith.
Be careful, dont be fooled. he's a butt. An evil butt. <3
But this is why I love having Hae in my RPs <3 he's so helpful. And his CSs are awesome sauce. Everyone's CSs are cool too, that's why relationships can be so much fun! I'm the weird one who rereads and CSs and RSs all the time >>
And Hae, do you WANT the power? Am I able to coerce you into being my co-GM again? You don't have to of course.
Speaking of which, having a co-GM might be a good idea. Cuz I got my first job (WHOOOOOO!) and it consists of teaching a language at an overnight camp for 4 weeks, and I'll probably be gone for a week or two to visit family. This is during the summer, and far off into the future of course, but assuming we all are still here by then, I'll need someone to step up because I won't have Internet for about 6 weeks total.
And I also have a bad issue of biting off more than I can chew, and having no idea what I'm doing, which is very disastrous... >< so having a partner to discuss things with might be great.
So...if anyone feels up for it, say aye!
Anyways, Konica, like Hae said, your character is great, she's accepted. If you could underline the section headings though, that would be great. I'll add her to the OP tomorrow.
Cool, I'll see about the relationship thingy tomorrow. Might look for a new appearance pic too.
Placeholder for the character I plan to play. Nicholas Lyons, the Line Producer (AKA, the liason for the studio sponsoring the film, as well as managing the Human Resources aspects)
Name
Nicholas Lyons
Gender
Male
Age
31
Position
Actor
Appearance
Nicholas has never been particularly fussed about how he looks, though this is not to say he dresses raggedly. In fact, the reality is very much the opposite. Money isn't much of a concern for Nicholas, and that is instantly clear through his clothing, as he is often seen wearing high-quality suits and clearly expensive watches. Yet despite the quality of clothing, he doesn't put much thought into what he wears. He likes to look what he would classify as 'smart', which is usually a shirt and regular suit-pants.
His hair is rather rugged, with the morning routine usually being to simply run a hand of gel through his hair and hope for the best. His beard is also roughly trimmed, being somewhere in-between stubble and a short beard.
Personality
Nicholas is very much one of those people you either love, or near-violently hate. He adopts a cynical, if not slightly comedic outlook on life, often heard making sarcastic and witty observations throughout the day. He enjoys satire and poking fun, though some would call it provoking, at the rest of the crew. Most who know him generally understand that his cynical comments or observations are not deliberate attempts to insult, albeit merely a means to get a few laughs. Though of course, there are some who would rather he simply shut up.
He is noticeably down-to-earth, something relatively odd for a hollywood celebrity. There is never an aura of importance, or stardom, surrounding him despite the high-end clothing he wears. While Nicholas is very much involved in the lifestyle surrounding hollywood (Parties, photo-shoots, papparazi..) there is never anybody who feels intimidated or on-edge whilst beside him. He is...abnormaly normal for somebody of such a status within hollywood.
Accompanying his humour, he has an extremely lax attitude toward life in general. If you give him some time and a task, he'll do everything he can but the specific task given to him. It's not as though he wants to be obstructive, and he will always complete the task to a generally high-standard after some time. He simply refuses to stress himself out, and while his laid-back attitude can provide a well-needed break from the chaos of a movie set to some, to others he is simply a distraction that won't go away.
However, on the whole he does have a seemingly natural charm, be it his larger-than-life grin, or witty comments that can't help but put a smile on your face. He has a confident demeanour, albeit he has never been one to focus on himself, he's always found the stories of others to be far more interesting. He is a socialite at his core and thrives on social interaction, never being one to shy away from conversation with those around him.
Biography
Nicholas has never known hardship, being born in Vancouver, Canada in 1983 and his family can be traced back to France, which is unsurprising given his surname. His father, Alexander Lyons, is something of an on-screen legend, starring in many of the black-and-white features iconic of the 20th Century. There is no doubt that it was his fathers fame and success that inspired him to follow a career in film, and his father had always geared him toward a career in the entertainment industry. His earliest memories are being toured around various movie-sets on the shoulders of his father, and he can remember being fascinated with the surreality of it all. The various scenes being shot, the actors caravans, the cafeteria..He fell in love with all of it.
He did not attend public or private school, his parents instead opting for a private-tuition in order to protect their son from the somewhat ferocious media, and the many 'fake friends' he would likely encounter at a school. He achieved highly academically, much like his older siblings who had the same private-tuition as him. Yet whilst his siblings went on to complete higher education, Nicholas opted out, instead applying to attend the Vancouver Film School. His passion for film had not outgrown him, and he knew from the moment he joined the Film School that he had made the correct choice. Specifically, he took a one-year course rather blunty called the 'Acting for Film & Television Program'. The course focused on the essentials of what was required to make it in the industry, albeit he knew he would require more development before he would be able to have a chance in the brutal industry of entertainment, Likely through his surname alone, he was accepted into the 'Italia Conti Academy'. He wasn't quite sure what drew him to that specific academy, albeit he had always had a slight curiosity into Itallian Culture, and seeing as the academy was certainly respectable, he decided to simply 'give it a go', which are the exact words he used to convince his father of the move.
He fell in love the with the country, it's landscapes and it's people. In fact, after attending the academy for only two of the expected four years, he simply spent the other two travelling Italy. Though he can never explain specific memories of his time in Italy, whenever questioned about his love for the country, his response is generally 'everything', no matter the question. To this day, he owns an Itallian Villa which he uses as a retreat of sorts, should he ever desire a break from the 24/7 lifestlye of celebrity.
Returning to Vancouver, Nicholas got himself his first major film role at the age of 23. The film was called 'HIVE'. The film was a remake of the original novel called 'H.I.V.E' (Standing for Higher Insititute of Villainous Education). He was cast as the secondary protagonist, and the film was a relative success. It spiralled into a trilogy, roughly following the original novels. Nicholas appeared in two out of the three films, playing arguable the second-largest part until his character was killed toward the ending of the second film. The series found success amongst younger audiences, and won Nicholas several awards, with his career continuing on naturally after the two films. To name a few of the films he has starred in;
- Out there, a psychological-thriller sci-fi revolving around human nature and our journey to the stars. It took inspiration from 2001: A Space Odysey. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor for this film, and the film itself was a nominee for Best Picture.
- Home, a family drama based on an original novel.
- Fantastic Voyage, a modern remake of the 1966 sci-fi classic. Directed by Paul Greengrass.
He has since appeared alongside the 'big names' in Hollywood, and has been very active in the industry. His career has been scandal-free thus far, and he somehow manages to deflect attention from the press away from him, though he is more than happy to appear on chat-shows, which he enjoys thoroughly. Nicholas has come across well in the public eye, and has yet to star in any major flop though he knows his time will come sooner or later. He has only recently returned from the set of another movie soon to release, before joining the current production.
Miscellaneous
- His Itallian Retreat
- His father, screen-legend
- Has won 2 Oscars (Best Actor & Best Supporting Actor) and 1 BAFTA
- Has never been in a 'proper' relationship
Luke Clemens
"He seems like a nice kid. Kid. I dunno' where he learned the art of directing a film, maybe that's what he was doing when he dropped out of the public eye entirely. I think I've seen one or two of the films he's been in, granted I can't really remember anything about them which isn't a particularly promising sign. I know he's a teenage hearthrob of some sort, don't really know much about him aside from that. At least if this film utterly fails we can just stick him in shirtless somewhere and get his teenage fans to come and see it, so that's a plus."
Maximillian Harrison
"He reminds me of superman, or some sort of action man...but slightly dumber. I mean, he's confident at least, but I don't really want to get within a hundred yards of him if he's handling anything, and I mean anything, that could hurt somebody. I'll take my chances doing as many stuns myself as I can. That said, he's a nice enough guy. I'm not sure how well he takes my jibs about being closer to death than anybody else when I stand next to him, but hey, it makes me laugh."
Harris Klein
"This guy probably worked with my dad, or at least was watching the films my dad was in when they came out. He's kinda' like the veteran of the set, old-guard. He always looks slightly grumpy, and it's fun to watch the ultimate smackdown between him and Amy. Is it bad that I try to get the two as close to each other as I possibly can? I don't know how I'd pass the hours without a good argument to watch."
Jake Wilson
"I like the guy, and he damn-well knows his stuff. I don't really have much to say about him, but I swear I've seen him on some YouTube videos. I'll have to look into that. Oh, that reminds me, I'm sure he gave that young PA gifts of some sort, and I don't think he did that for anybody else. Or, at least, he didn't do it for me. I mean, best of luck to the guy, and I can see why he wants to try his luck with her, she's good-looking."
Phoebe J. Collins
"She's the one that's always sprinting around the set, yeah? Yeah, she's good fun, and seeing her sprint around with a whole set of props flying all over the place is bloody hillarious. The production wouldn't quite be as lively without her, and I'm glad she's here. Not particularly spoken to her all that much myself but she seems to share the idea of taking life as it is and simply taking it easy, which is a welcome sight given how stressful some of the other people on this set are."
Leo PNB Xavier
"Don't really know him at all. He's a costume designer, so he's bound to be wacky, they all are. Actually, he kinda' reminds me of a vampire, allergic to the sunlight with like, properly black hair. I bet he goes all glittery in the sun, or is that only what happens on Twilight?"
Amy Ho
"I love watching her argue with Harris. The funniest part is, from what I've observed, they always seem to be agreeing with each other while screaming the socks of off each other. She's the script supervisor, if I recall correctly, and she certainly fits the role. I try to keep out of her way, but there's one thing I know about her, she is literally a coffee monster. Why Guiness World Records haven't showed up to interview her I don't know, but I'm thinking of entering her in on her behalf, it's not like she'd lose.
Vyacheslav Piotr Zolnerowich-Wahlstein
"Can he speak, or is he mute? I honestly don't know. He's a nice enough guy, but I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy poking fun at him. I mean, it's just harmless banter. He just seems so down all of the time, he needs to lighten up. I think he's one of those guys, who if pushed, will go absolutely ape-shit. Yeah, he's definitely one of those guys, and that's why I just cant help but give him a little push every now and then, just for a bit of fun. The quiet ones always tend to be the craziest.
Max Goldstein
"He's friendly. Almost too friendly for a businessman. I mean, I'm sure he has the best intentions at heart, but whenever I see a businessman trying to be friendly, it just makes me uneasy. I'm not sure if he likes me at all anymore, though. When we first met, I remember making some joke along the lines of, 'If only that money could buy you friends.'
Addison Matthews
"She's cool, and she has a good sense of humour. She, unlike some others on the team, appears to appreciate and understand sarcasm, which is a big plus. The few times I have come across her she's been good to chat with, and I'm sure I'll see her around. I actually feel a degree of sympathy for her. I can't imagine what it must be like if you're assigned to Amy. Come to think of it, that must be why I saw her holding coffee all day.
Ella Lindgren
I actually quite like her, and I've thankfully not had the 'pleasure' of getting in her bad-books. I saw her chewing out some poor sod who clearly had recieved such a pleasure, and so I made sure to keep any comments to myself when I spoke to her. I get the feeling she wouldn't appreciate my humour, which is fine, I guess. I will admit that I do love watching the poor sods in her bad-books being put down by her, it's just fun to watch. Like Amy and Klein. Actually, watching her 'disagree' with somebody is comparible to a traffic-jam. It's good fun to watch the traffic-jam, so long as you aren't in it.
Leila Fox
"I guess I have a bit of a soft-spot for her. I've never heard of her, though since we're going to be working together I did a quick google-search. She's relatively new to the industry, so I guess that's why I have a bit of a soft-spot. I've spoken to her a few times, though it was a pretty one-sided conversation and there's only so much I can talk about. But hey, I can understand, it's pretty surreal and nerve-racking on your first 'big' film. That's probably why she seems so shy, but by the end of this film, she'll be talking non-stop, I guarantee it.
He'll be an Actor instead, seeing as we seem to be lacking some actors

The film was a remake of the original novel called 'H.I.V.E' (Standing for Higher Insititute of Villainous Education). He was cast as the secondary protagonist, and the film was a relative success. It spiralled into a trilogy, roughly following the original novels. Nicholas appeared in two out of the three films, playing arguable the second-largest part until his character was killed toward the ending of the second film. The series found success amongst younger audiences, and won Nicholas several awards, with his career continuing on naturally after the two films. To name a few of the films he has starred in;
- Out there, a psychological-thriller sci-fi revolving around human nature and our journey to the stars. It took inspiration from 2001: A Space Odysey. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor for this film, and the film itself was a nominee for Best Picture.
- Home, a family drama based on an original novel.
- Fantastic Voyage, a modern remake of the 1966 sci-fi classic. Directed by Paul Greengrass.
He has since appeared alongside the 'big names' in Hollywood, and has been very active in the industry. His career has been scandal-free thus far, and he somehow manages to deflect attention from the press away from him, though he is more than happy to appear on chat-shows, which he enjoys thoroughly. Nicholas has come across well in the public eye, and has yet to star in any major flop though he knows his time will come sooner or later. He has only recently returned from the set of another movie soon to release, before joining the current production.
Miscellaneous
- His Itallian Retreat
- His father, screen-legend
- Has won 2 Oscars (Best Actor & Best Supporting Actor) and 1 BAFTA
- Has never been in a 'proper' relationship
Luke Clemens
"He seems like a nice kid. Kid. I dunno' where he learned the art of directing a film, maybe that's what he was doing when he dropped out of the public eye entirely. I think I've seen one or two of the films he's been in, granted I can't really remember anything about them which isn't a particularly promising sign. I know he's a teenage hearthrob of some sort, don't really know much about him aside from that. At least if this film utterly fails we can just stick him in shirtless somewhere and get his teenage fans to come and see it, so that's a plus."
Maximillian Harrison
"He reminds me of superman, or some sort of action man...but slightly dumber. I mean, he's confident at least, but I don't really want to get within a hundred yards of him if he's handling anything, and I mean anything, that could hurt somebody. I'll take my chances doing as many stuns myself as I can. That said, he's a nice enough guy. I'm not sure how well he takes my jibs about being closer to death than anybody else when I stand next to him, but hey, it makes me laugh."
Harris Klein
"This guy probably worked with my dad, or at least was watching the films my dad was in when they came out. He's kinda' like the veteran of the set, old-guard. He always looks slightly grumpy, and it's fun to watch the ultimate smackdown between him and Amy. Is it bad that I try to get the two as close to each other as I possibly can? I don't know how I'd pass the hours without a good argument to watch."
Jake Wilson
"I like the guy, and he damn-well knows his stuff. I don't really have much to say about him, but I swear I've seen him on some YouTube videos. I'll have to look into that. Oh, that reminds me, I'm sure he gave that young PA gifts of some sort, and I don't think he did that for anybody else. Or, at least, he didn't do it for me. I mean, best of luck to the guy, and I can see why he wants to try his luck with her, she's good-looking."
Phoebe J. Collins
"She's the one that's always sprinting around the set, yeah? Yeah, she's good fun, and seeing her sprint around with a whole set of props flying all over the place is bloody hillarious. The production wouldn't quite be as lively without her, and I'm glad she's here. Not particularly spoken to her all that much myself but she seems to share the idea of taking life as it is and simply taking it easy, which is a welcome sight given how stressful some of the other people on this set are."
Leo PNB Xavier
"Don't really know him at all. He's a costume designer, so he's bound to be wacky, they all are. Actually, he kinda' reminds me of a vampire, allergic to the sunlight with like, properly black hair. I bet he goes all glittery in the sun, or is that only what happens on Twilight?"
Amy Ho
"I love watching her argue with Harris. The funniest part is, from what I've observed, they always seem to be agreeing with each other while screaming the socks of off each other. She's the script supervisor, if I recall correctly, and she certainly fits the role. I try to keep out of her way, but there's one thing I know about her, she is literally a coffee monster. Why Guiness World Records haven't showed up to interview her I don't know, but I'm thinking of entering her in on her behalf, it's not like she'd lose.
She reminds me of a headmistress of sorts, as I like to take things slow, and she bloody well doesnt. I've found myself hiding from her on more than one occasion.
Vyacheslav Piotr Zolnerowich-Wahlstein
"Can he speak, or is he mute? I honestly don't know. He's a nice enough guy, but I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy poking fun at him. I mean, it's just harmless banter. He just seems so down all of the time, he needs to lighten up. I think he's one of those guys, who if pushed, will go absolutely ape-shit. Yeah, he's definitely one of those guys, and that's why I just cant help but give him a little push every now and then, just for a bit of fun. The quiet ones always tend to be the craziest.
That said, he's an absolute wizard when it comes to acting, there's no denying that. I remember reading about his divorce, the hacks were all over it. A shame really, and I think that divorce is a perfect example of why I'd rather stay out of the whole lovey-duvy business."
Max Goldstein
"He's friendly. Almost too friendly for a businessman. I mean, I'm sure he has the best intentions at heart, but whenever I see a businessman trying to be friendly, it just makes me uneasy. I'm not sure if he likes me at all anymore, though. When we first met, I remember making some joke along the lines of, 'If only that money could buy you friends.'
Maybe he's forgotten about it. I bloody hope he has, and it was a harmless joke after all."
Addison Matthews
"She's cool, and she has a good sense of humour. She, unlike some others on the team, appears to appreciate and understand sarcasm, which is a big plus. The few times I have come across her she's been good to chat with, and I'm sure I'll see her around. I actually feel a degree of sympathy for her. I can't imagine what it must be like if you're assigned to Amy. Come to think of it, that must be why I saw her holding coffee all day.
Ella Lindgren
I actually quite like her, and I've thankfully not had the 'pleasure' of getting in her bad-books. I saw her chewing out some poor sod who clearly had recieved such a pleasure, and so I made sure to keep any comments to myself when I spoke to her. I get the feeling she wouldn't appreciate my humour, which is fine, I guess. I will admit that I do love watching the poor sods in her bad-books being put down by her, it's just fun to watch. Like Amy and Klein. Actually, watching her 'disagree' with somebody is comparible to a traffic-jam. It's good fun to watch the traffic-jam, so long as you aren't in it.
Leila Fox
"I guess I have a bit of a soft-spot for her. I've never heard of her, though since we're going to be working together I did a quick google-search. She's relatively new to the industry, so I guess that's why I have a bit of a soft-spot. I've spoken to her a few times, though it was a pretty one-sided conversation and there's only so much I can talk about. But hey, I can understand, it's pretty surreal and nerve-racking on your first 'big' film. That's probably why she seems so shy, but by the end of this film, she'll be talking non-stop, I guarantee it.
I watched some of clips of her acting as well, and she's talented for sure. I'll just have to try and make her feel a bit more at ease around here.

Aww, Addison D:
Peter would never think of her like that. But I do like how you used that as her experience with him. He'd be sorry he didn't recognize her during the talk, much less thank her for the tea and everything. D:

I'll probably get to it regardless when I reach mah homes in like a few hours.
And I wouldn't mind being a co-GM, and I think Traveler would make a good one too just because he probably has experience gming plus he has experience filming! But that's up to him. o_o

Addison and Leila have the perfect views of Phoebe. She's absolutely the type to quickly shake Addison's hand and not really hear the name she's given and dash off again in her carnival aura. I love it.

Having multiple co-GMs isn't a bad idea... Unless everyone in the RP is a co-GM. Then it just doesn't work. Two is usually my limit anyway, so it works~ ^^

Ex, Lia, Fallout, Dread, and I were technically all Co-GMs for the RP we finished, bit that was collaborative on every level. Dunno how to explain it, but it definitely works better with a small amount of people.
I also had a character making problem... *cough*
Unless it's needed, then I may just limit myself to Peter. Depends on if I get something for an actor character and stuff. I may have something in mind for the both of them... separate or not. I'll keep that a mystery, teehee.
