C: Eight

Eight

Remember when I told you that I used to fragment portions of my personality into individual characters? It was fun and it was a good way to come up with character situation. Not necessarily characters, since they all ended up acting kinda the same...

Anyway, I know I'd said that I'd post up character bios when I got to this point. The poem itself is non-canonical, in the sense that none of them really ever died in stories and so forth, but I suppose in a way they did pass on. Not unlike the storyline of *SPOILERSIdentitySPOILERS*, leaving only "myself." Interestingly, the cast of the eight changed and fluctuated as I invented new characters, the ones I hardly liked replaced by ones in cooler storylines. At one time, I myself was one of them. I'm not entirely sure which of the final eight were original or not, but I know that I'm not in it anymore. Anyway, to the psychocave! Some of this I had prewritten. It goes by the name, the aspect of my personality/mentality that they represent, other characters that share similar personalities/roles, and their character/storyline.

Adrian Hardt
-Emotion

Story: Adrian is a teen who has frequent dreams in a train station. Eventually, he is approached by a man in this dream world and given an earpiece. Upon waking, he finds the earpiece in his hand. When he places it in his ear tentatively, it disappears, though he can hear voices through it. One voice teaches him how to see the spirit realm, and through seeing it, it can see him. His story is one of conflict with demon-like spirit things that can only affect the world if Adrian is in the process of engaging them, or vice versa. The story never left the drawing board and bore, as a working title, Train.

Dominic Peters 
-Logic/Realism

Character: Dominic a functioning member of society in every possible way, but has no problem forgoing rules and regs when it comes to a logical point of view. His view of “If it makes sense, do it” makes him a unique character, but one who finds himself in a leadership role often enough.. He supports the Seven as a family unit as opposed to what it truly is. Though he is close with Will, he often clashes with Harper and Jonothan for quite obvious reasons. Where he came from none really know, but it is suspected that he has a lengthy criminal past, however unevident it may seem to those who don’t know him well. As an eternal realist, he neither scorns love nor hunts for it – he understands that at times it is appropriate and at others, not.

Story: Usually involved in some criminal guild that turns out in the end to be not such a criminal guild. He's been written into so many stories that it would be folly to try and tell them all here. Mainly in Dimension. You'll recognize him from the phrase LGD, Let go Dommy. Dominic Peters is me. He's also the greatest person in the world. :P

William Braxford 
-Analytical

In the greatest sense of the word, Will is a child. In his simple vision of facts, numbers, patterns, and other queries of a pure analytical nature, he misses out on other aspects of life. He is friends with Emmit and Jonothan for the simple reason that they intrigue him. In the early years of his life, he met Dominic (and found nothing criminal about him). The two of them journeyed together for a time and they found that their ideologies matched well with each other. In essence, the knowledge of Will merged itself with Dominic’s logic to make it more powerful. Nobody really dislikes Will, but everyone can admit that there are times when his misperception of other’s level of caring becomes annoying. In short, sometimes nobody gives a damn.

Story: It's hard to nail this down because it's all so a-canonical to any of the actual stories. Usually a stowaway child into Dominic's criminal guild... not so unlike River Tam. ***DISCLAIMER*** all of this was thought up before I even saw Serenity or Firefly. Don't think I totally ripped these ideas off. >_> Anyway, the Dominic he meets up with isn't the Dominic from Dimension, but a Dominic from another discarded upstart... maybe Phantom?

Marcus Reilly 
-Conviction

When Marcus decides to do something, he does it. When Dominic tells him why to do something logically, he jumps on board in an instant. He just plain likes to beat the shit out of people – not in the way you’d expect however. He doesn’t go out searching for fights, in fact he doesn’t like fighting at all. But when he has to he accepts it as an unchanging reality. Though in his highest moments he symbolizes intense devotion to the cause, he is not beyond persuasion from the other members of his team. In fact, the only member of the team who has little bearing on Marcus’s behavior is Will. Whether or not this is because of his age or if the facts don’t matter to Marcus as much as the reasons do is unknown.

Story: Marcus Reilly is the only character that saw his way into a finished work. Dragon Storm/Indemnity's Resurrection/Sons of Liberty was a postapocalypic story where the people sought refuge from a poisoned atmosphere in bunkers. Come to find out, the governement had been keeping them down so that they could profit. Revolution, etc. It's a good screenplay, for two Juniors in High School.

Jones Bailey 
-Social

Not in any story. At all. Not even planned for anything. Unique in that way, he exists primarily for the sake of existing... in fact, the only character to get a blog post of his own?

Emmit Long 
-Philisophical

Another character of DS/IR/SoL, Emmit was a revolutionary that met up with Marcus. He was a literary type, found reading Moby Dick at one point. One of two characters out of a cast of 10+ that lives at the end of the story.

Jonothan Klein 
-Theoretical

Had the ability to manipulate reality... Existed mainly as a concept character, and little else.

Fabian Harper 
-Duty

Usually thrust into the role of "bad guy general" who isn't really bad, but just stuck in a "bad guy government." Usually would end up joining in with the hero when he realized that everything he had supported and worked for was corrupt.
