Characters for my story, & general story idea.

[CJL_Forever (aka Sini)]

Ok. So these are the main characters of a new story that I am writing. It was originally gonna be a comic book by myself and my good friend Jamie, but, unfortunatly, neither of us can draw in a cartoonish style, and also don't know anyone else who can, so I decided to write it as a story instead until we can (hopefully) find someone who can draw in the right sort of style.

So, the story is called "Student Survival Guide 616" and is about a group of college students in England surviving a zombie out break. Its not an actual horror or anything because it was going to be a comic, we made it pretty fun with loads of jokes and silliness, but serious and a little scary now and again. The main characters are as follows:

Eveliina Turunen aka Evei. -
Bio: The leader of the group. A 17 year old girl from Finland, who moved to England with her family when she was 10. She is highly trained in all forms of hand to hand combat and is also pretty good at shooting. She has been learning to wield a sword and other weapons by her best friend. She is secretly in love with Max.
Description: Has long redish brown hair down to her waist. Bright bluey green eyes. Has a pale "English rose" complexion. Quite petit. About 5" 1' tall. Very slim. Has long legs.

Xander Storm aka Xan or Rain(due to his surname) -
Bio: Evei's best friend since they were 10. He is a 17 year old boy with a heart of gold and a truely loyal friend to Evei and refuses to leave her side no matter what. He had an eccentric uncle was obsessed with the weapons and fighting styles of Ancient China and Ancient Japan and taught Xander how to fight wih them all. Evei is also teaching him to fight hand to hand.
Description: Blue eyes. Longish, slightly emo style black hair. Wears jeans and double layer tops most of the time.

Julian Nicholson aka JuuJuu
Bio: A 17 year old boy and good friend of Evei and Xander. Bisexual. Can be very cheeky and rather rude minded, so is often chided by Evei or Xande by being called Bad JuuJuu. He can be slow at times and takes a while to understand what is going on around him.
Description: Short blond hair. Brown eyes. Quite tall. Very cheeky smile.

Max
Bio: An 18 year old boy on the same course as Evei and the others. He is very attractive and popular, hence Evei's belief that she is not good enough for him. Very intelligent and quick thinking. Always thinks about the consequences of his actions. Enters situations with level headedness and calmness.
Description: Has longish dark brown hair and bright, pale green eyes. Quite pale skin. He is quite tall and very slender. Very rocky/metallay in his style. Wears jeans and T-shirts with band name and logos on them a lot. Also wears Converse and Vans style shoes.

Joseph ?? aka Joey or Joe
Bio: 18 year old boy from America. Best friend of Max. Very playful and mischeivous. Tends to rush into things without thinking and ends up getting himself into trouble or difficult situations. Relies on Max to help him out and to control his wild streak as much as possible. Doesn't often look before he leaps. As with Julian, he tends to not understand a situation as easily as the other three.
Description:: Very grungy, wears lots of baggy jeans and combats. Very skater boy styled. Has floppy ginger hair and brown eyes.

So, those are the main characters, and, as you can see, both Max and Joey need surnames. If you have any ideas, please let me know. Thanks. Hope ya like the idea of the story!

Sounds wonderful! I like the characters.
I started reading it, as well. It's very good!

[Endovia]

Seems like we got a good crew for fighting off zombies! I like it.

[CJL_Forever (aka Sini)]

Thanks guys So, any ideas of surmanes for Max and Joey? I can't for the life of me think of anything! LOL! I got writers block already!

[CJL_Forever (aka Sini)]

Btw, would I be able to upload a couple of pics in here to show some examples of how the characters would look? Not many, and not too big. I just happen to have a couple to give an idea of how Evei would look.

[sapphiresmoke]

Yeah, of course. By all means, put them up.

Um... Not sure on the last names... That's one thing I'm really not good at.

Max Warrickson?

Joseph Mell?

Lol... I don't know...

[Endovia]

I stink at surnames. Sorry I can't help. I tend to just make something up.

[CJL_Forever (aka Sini)]

This isn't exactly what Evei looks like, but there are serveral aspects of this woman that are very similar to Evei.
The hair for example is very how I imagined Evei's. The figure is also what I pictured her as. I would love to be able to make a picture up of how she would look, but I have no way of doing it. Shame
(The picture is of a character named Yue Ying from the Dynasty Warriors game series.)

[sapphiresmoke]

Ooh. Very cool.

[Endovia]

Hmm... I can picture Evei somewhat like that. *ponders*

[CJL_Forever (aka Sini)]

Ok, so I have kinda thought of surnames for Max and Joey. Joey is now named Joseph 'Joey' Rye.
I wanted to call Max "Max D.i.c.k.inson" But the site keeps changing it to thingyinson. Which is really annoying. So I am once again stumped as to what to call him. I just feel that the names really work together. So, I dunno. I wanted to give him the same surname as the singer/frontman of the band Iron Maiden, but, as the site keeps changing it, I obviously can't. Crud.


As to the picture I posted previously, although I said that it was how I pictured Evei, it would have been like that, but with jeans and a black polo neck or maybe even black leggings and a red corset type thing, and obviously no bow thingy on her arm! Lol! If she were holding any weapons, it would be double ninja daggers or a katana (japanese long sword) but, other than clothes and weapons, the rest is pretty much how Evei would look. (if she were drawn in a comic/cartoon style like that. Can't quite find a real pic that shows her how I'd picture her.)

[sapphiresmoke]

I can picture her like that... Very cool.

Ah, yeah, the site does that... It's annoying, I agree, but we can't change it. I wouldn't change his last name because of it, though... Just go with it. We'll know what you mean.

[CJL_Forever (aka Sini)]

You think? Mmm..maybe I'll just have to type it as D.ickinson. With a fullstop between the d and the i. seems a little odd, but still. Its still means that I can use the name I wanted for him.

[Endovia]

I'd use it anyway, Sini. We all understand.

[sapphiresmoke]

Yeah, just type it like that. It works. None of us will yell at you for having a period in the wrong spot.
