Character Exercises

First exercise we got a name and then had to answer questions and write a story in 15 minutes about the character.

The name I got was Loki -I didn't know whether it was a girl or boy name...
This is what I ended up with:
"Obvious about(other people would notice)Short
Obvious to the CharacterShy
Unique about themRed hair
Activity, action normal to their lifeReading
Activity character never doRunning
Environment you would normally find them inLibrary
Environment you would never find them inGym
Loki opens her locker after school, and her her dismay she finds all of her books missing and in their place a note reading "Go to the middle of the oval if you want your stuff back"She is very upset that someone would pull such a mean stunt on her. She walks hurriedly in the direction of the ovel, hugging the books she still had from her last two classes tightly to her chest.She reaches the oval soon enough...and sees the oval is completely barren. She sees something in the middle, but can't quite tell what it was, assuming it's her stuff she ducks under the metal railing, that surrouds the oval and hurries to the spot. As she gets close enough to see the stuff clearly, she sees that all of her books are soaking wet and covered with dirt, which was quickly becoming mud. She begins to cry as she falls to her knees in front of the mess and begins picking it up. No sooner than she had every thing, she heard loud heavy footsteps behind her. It sounded like a stampede. She stayed where she was and was soon surrounded by a pack of roudy older school boys.They began laughing at her and calling her names, circling her like an eagle circles it's prey.She couldn't stand it.She dropped the books and covered her face with her hands, hunching over and sobbing. SHe wished hse could disappear and she was so afraid. She didn't know what they would do to her. The teasing grew louder and was like a demonic chant. She couldn't stand it any longer.She stood up, her hands, face and clothing muddy and dishevaled. Not thinking she tried to run between two of the boys and ran smack into one of them, surprised he froze and that gave Loki the chance she needed, she ran as fast as she could, which wasn't all the fast as she had such short legs. Never had she wished she was taller more."

The second exercise we had to think of an argument or disagreement we've had and write it from the other person's point of view...I'd rather not share mine...


The last thing we had to do was answer questions about the character that's going to be in our Machinima...using the character kit. I have finished my story and my script but I'm not sure how I should answer them. I have 2 characters in my story, an old lady(without a name) and a girl named Jesse (short for Jessica).
