I'm Antha and I joined CCI just before you did, so we're both newbies together. I've just got one character at the moment (working on a second though) and it's this guy right here. His name is Ciaran and he's a Rienzi sophomore. He transferred to CCI last term from Denver Wizarding Prep, apparently because he's a drug-dealing serial killer. Yeah. He was held back a couple of years at his previous school and he has a chip on his shoulder about it.
I don't think Ciaran's going to get along with Jake. In fact he's been fastracked to the top of Ciaran's 'People I Hate with a Burning Passion' list, so yeah, no playing Totally Spies for them.
Ciaran's parents are Irish/Bulgarian immigrants and he's a punk, so millionaire playboy types with big old-wizard families do not sit well with him at all. The fact that Jake is buddies with Amber would deffo be the vitriolic cherry on top of the hate-cake.
So yeah, I think Ciaran's your first enemy. Sorry about that. If you want to reach me for plottings of any kind, my aim name is crayoncrunch.
Glad to be newbies with you! I read through Ciaran and he's an interesting character. You are pretty industrious to be creating another already!
I agree; I don't think Jake and Ciaran will be best buds, whether they are housemates or not (let's just be thankful they are in separate years and not roommates).
Strangely enough, it will probably bother and confuse Jakob that Ciaran hates him. He's not arrogant about being rich and he gives tons of money to charity. Being rich is all he's ever known, so being hated for it is really confusing to him.
I think if Jake has to have an enemy, Ciaran is a fine enemy to have! (That's a compliment!) :)
I'm so on again, off again, on AIM...if you want, contact me at kitsune_2@hotmail.com if I haven't popped up on AIM!
Tbh I created my second character first. I had issues with his bio so I'm redoing him and Ciaran just arrived in my brain somewhere along my WHYISNTMYCHARACTERWORKING writer's block thing.
Ciaran would see Jake prancing around, playing James Bond and flirting with cheerleaders all lah-di-dah and he'd see him as just...accepting what he's been given without thinking about it. He spends daddy's money and acts like a prince and...yeah. No like.
However, Ciaran would probably just glare silently for the most part. Unless someone riles him up then he just gets on with what he's doing and leaves well alone. He might mutter something in Bulgarian or think 'what a dickhead', but unless you give him a reason to clash with you he's...mostly well behaved? Or is trying to be? I think?
And if it makes any difference, my next character will probably want to marry Jake because he's rich and bi and that solves everything. XD He's being written into his life plan as I type. Sorry.
Yeah, I've done that with characters myself. Been working on my main character and gotten stuck and then gone off on another path to create another totally different character, so I know where you're coming from.
Love Ciaran, so if he wants to growl at Jake, I'm fine with it. I totally know where he's coming from. Jakob might be a sweetheart, but that doesn't guarantee he's going to be liked by everyone. Ciaran has issues with Jake; it will be good for Jake to have to deal with a little reality.
Haha! Now I'm intrigued about your next character!
