Here are some characters. Tell me which ones you don't like, which ones you like, and what needs changing.
Jonathan Lawrence--A crooked lawyer. Y'know the ones, planting evidence, dredging up false witnesses and the like. Average height and weight, average face with an ever-so-slight malicious cast, has a penchant for black suits and black ties. Speaks expressly in monotone. Not the bored, I'm-not-really-paying-attention monotone, but an almost aggressively apathetic monotone.
Setton Spin--Carnie, operates the carousel. Hates children with a passion beyond the capability of sanity. Tallish, paunchy, sweaty, and typically unshaven. Smokes like a chimney. Has hands the size of fucking Texas. Wears mirrored sunglasses, a wide-brimmed and a coat with a tall collar.
Samuel "Sam" Minella--Cook; works the diner/pub across the street from the Carnival. Just out of high school, smokes Dutch in the freezer when his manager's not about, pimple-y, gawky, has a bowl cut. Claims to be an anarchist.
Colten "Cole" Beverage--Bartender; works with Minella. In his mid-30's, looks older, alcoholic, smokes with Minella, has an unfortunate last name, makes a damn good Screaming Nazi, hates humanity is all it's various forms.
Robert "Rob" N. Banks--Small time crook; occasionally takes off with something big. Claims to have stolen a bridge. Went to school with Spin, spends a lot of time in the drunk tank, is short and average-to-pudgy, oddly honest face.
Cason "Case" Federal--Ex-news anchor, now part-time mental patient. Nasty case of paranoid schizophrenia, combined with having a very, very unfortunate name. Thinks Hitler survived his 'suicide' and shot J.F.K. Very thin, thinks the government puts nanobots in food. Wears horn-rimmed glasses with one lens cracked.
I love silly characters, sorry. And paranoid schizophrenia is fun to write.
Person #1: "You smell like butterscotch."
P.2: "Aw, thanks."
P.: "No, I mean you smell like butt, or scotch. I can't decide which."
P.2: "P.1, you're a closet alcoholic."
P.1: "Hey, I don't drink in the closet, alright?"
Yes, I'm thieving lines from them. Sue me.
P.3: " Hey, P.1, where's the broom?"
P.1: "Why, are you going somewhere?"
P.4: "Judging by your expression, this seems like Merlin doing some magical shit up here."
Oh man, remember the Psychiatrist/Psychology Professor/Porn Star/Muffin Man thing?
That's all, folks.
