These are the characters I've been working on in my script for my graphic novel(s) for a long time. These are the main heroes, not the main villains of course.
Richard Melville
Richard had a crush named Brittany, who he was always concerned would easily get taken advantage of by other people. However he eventually decides teaching her how to become smart with her life is not worth it.
Richard also lost his mother in a terrorist during the month of June, when drug terrorists were initially blamed for blowing up the hospital where she worked. However he always suspected that something was not right about the case, and had a lingering doubt.
My character Richard, wants to find his father, who he feels is still alive somewhere. Richard fears that he may be in orphan after all in a strange new world. He deals with this by engaging in drugs with the other kids, who consider him pretty much like family.
Richard dreams every night about the attack that killed his mother, and how he wished he simply died of radiation poisoning in the years before. But something drives him to keep living. He simply wants to know if his father is still alive. It was not that Bianca, his present girlfriend, did not care about his degrading condition.
It was that she was simply to preoccupied with trying to drown out her sorrows by smoking weed, and getting high. Who could blame her, because her father committed suicide in front of her, when she was around nine. Richard simply never knew his father.
His personal responsibility in the beginning of the story is to make sure the others don't bleed to death when they get into street fights. however due to his perceptive abilities he eventually becomes one of the investigators of the murder of one of their friends, who saved Malcolm life three years ago.
When we see him ride in the van to the concentration camp, we note how he feels responsible for not giving Brit a second chance at a date, when she needed someone to love the most. This burden carries him through his relationship with Ellen, until he decides he loves Ellen more then Brit.
Malcolm
Malcolm is torn between his desire to solve the murder of his friend Charles the white, and saving his sister, who is dieing from kidney disease. We know that his sister nearly gets terminated by the red cross corporation, because her family could barely pay for the medical bills to keep her alive.
This is the reason why they threw him to the street. Malcolm enjoys the era of peace after the conflict with his rival gang. He fears that maybe it will start up again, simply due to a misunderstanding either on his part or the others.
Malcolm has Sympathy for Bianca, for losing her father when she was nine, and watching the bloody conclusion in front of her eyes. However the bills Bianca stacks up with weed is simply through the roof, and Malcolm really want to tell her to lay off. However somehow he can't seem to make himself do it.
Malcolm used to dream of someday becoming rich, and becoming one of the rich elite, who could have all the fresh fruit they could eat. However do to the overly strict surveillance Richard has told him about, Malcolm has began to change his mind.
Malcolm goes along with Richard to investigate the murder of their friend, and find it amusing that Richard wants to find his father, because he himself never really had such an attachment due to living since he was ten in a rundown shack with Bianca, who he met one night in lower sector five.
Bianca
Bianca wants to bring a good name back to her father, who put a pistol to his mouth in front of her when she was around nine. She fears that if she does’t become a better fighter, that she wont make her father proud of her as his daughter.
However her sorrows had made her turn to smoking weed, which has slowly began to rack up a big bill. For a while Malcolm kept telling her he was concerned about her mental health, but one day she asks if, "Even if you could take be to the doctor, could you pay for the all the health bills?"
Bianca has a sexual attraction to Richard, who she personally views is a bright eyed idealist. She considers it her personal responsibility to give him sexual favors, however for whatever reason he seems to be satisfied with simply having a friends to talk to.
It doesn’t really matter to Bianca either way, as she gets her sexual fix from selling her body to other street boys in the sector five. Bianca actually he a secret bullet stash she has earned from having sex, kept just in case they ever run out of bullets.
Akiko & Hiromi
Akiko wants to find someone, who can take her and Horomi in for them to have a place to stay. Hiromi wants to protect Akiko at all costs. Akiko fears that they may die in the street from thugs that wants to rob them of their life and liberty. Hiromi, who doesn’t seem to fear anything, secretly fears that she may be right.
Akiko deals with her emotions by ignoring other people when they are talking to her, however her sister Hiromi tends to lash out at people, and ruthlessly assault them until the apologies profusely. Hiromi's violent nature has gotten them in some degree of trouble with local law enforcement in the past, and both of them are forced to carry this burden.
Akiko and Hiromi had a grandfather back in Japan, who used to tell them about the horrors of the previous war, the third world fire, and varying war atrocities committed by the united states. He regrets it later, and tries to get their mind off it by going fishing.
However their grandfather died unexpectedly, and they are forced to move in with their uncle. They never really knew their uncle, who was always was frequently away from home on business meetings. Eventually he told him that he will be away from a couple of weeks. However after two and a half week he simply never came back.
They never really found out if he was still alive. He never called. Living in the violent street slowly got to Hiromi's head, and she became violently obsessive about protecting her sister. Eventually they find a shack, and Malcolm has taken care of the sister ever since.
Akiko feels the need to make it so that the shack is immune to electromagnetic pulses, that continually get dropped on the proles of proleville. Hiromi now has more time than ever to support her sister in her interest.
Slephner
Slephner really does want what is best for Ellen, more than anyone else. However it doesn’t seem like it, because he is always away from being on drug runs, bought from other gangs, who seem to had a similar skin tone to the rehabilitators that live in the city above the metal sky. He is always taking home varying fruit flavored drugs.
Slephner fears this his allies in the other territory may betray him one day, due to the fact that his previous friends have simply out and out left him. He finds out later that they have defected, and sometimes even try to form a coup against the leader.
His long string of bad relationships with his friends has given him a bit of an Irish temper, which is uses a handgun to take it out on anyone that pisses him off. He does’t seem particularly concerned about his decreasing supply of bullets, which are the only form of cash the proles use. Probably because he's somehow always getting a new supply of bullets.
He feels accountable for having the opposite orientation of what we are first lef to believe, which is straight as an arrow. His father used to beat him to a pulp every time he tried to go out with a boy, who he was attracted to. Eventually he relents, and agrees to go try to become straight.
Their is some evidence to suggest that a combination of his hair trigger temper, and his sexuality is what eventually drove the downfall of many of his friendships. He is especially concerned that Ellen will someday betray him because she was the girl he tried to have an effective romantic relationship with.
When the alley cats betrayed him, this sent him over the edge, and he has Ellen promise him that she will never betray him. He slaps her across the cheek, and then apologizes and asks for her forgiveness, and which at the moment she seems to be more than happy to agree to give.
Ellen
Ellen wants to be able to find someone she is not afraid to reveal her gender status to, and not have them turn away from her in disgust. She fears that Slephner may someday turn away from her do to the fact that she was not born female.
Ellen deals with her emotions by being obedient and subservient to her utmost ability, however her natural inclination of being an alpha female sometimes takes over, This sometimes sets off the temper of Slephner, he frequently beats her until she becomes subservient once more.
Despite it not being her fault, she feels depressed somewhat for being a closely guarded family secret, because her father used to make her stay in the basement of their home, not even being allowed to go to crappy school like other kids. This was because her mother died in the month she gave her to her, and her grand father also died in a terrorist attack around the same month years later. This is why to her this month she considers to be a cursed month.
She considers it her personal responsibility to keep Slephner calm, when he is felling fired up about one betrayal by friends from the next. Slephner seems at this point to have a great deal of faith that she will never betray him, which creates sort of a bound between the two even if he’s not personally attracted to her.
Character I haven't written profile yet for, are Benny the security guard, Brittany Richards crush in middle school, Richard friend in camp, and Richard's friends sister.
