Budding writers--what kind of character would I play?

Question

Formulate a character based solely on this picture. I'm interested in thorough, detailed answers...life history, status, habits, quirks, personality, etc., and a brief storyline. The most detailed answer will be the best answer.

Thanks!

Actor 22 -- interesting points...however, a character must convince the audience of their traits, and that is usually done visually. Is the picture a person who parties all night, has multiple tatoos, breaks the laws, has many lovers and hangovers? Or would the person be an upstanding citizen with quiet games of sudoku to fill her fire-side nights? Which is more believable? And what are the extremes?

Answer 2

the person doesn't particularly like the person who is taking the picture. they are spending their spring break in a beach house somewhere on the east coast. the person had a birth defect in their eye when they were born, so they had surgery to fix it and now there's a scar uner their eye. the person has a very young kid, maybe two or three. the person can be friendly but can also be very mean when she wants to. I think, if it's not a beach house, it's a new house the family just moved into, and the picture was taken in the summer, and there's no furniture in the house yet because they just moved from wherever, and their furniture hasn't shipped yet.If i were the give this person a name, it would be samantha.

Answer 3

To begin with, you failed to supply a picture on which to base any kind of character. In the second place, no writer worthy of the title would presume to base a character on physical appearance.
Anyone who has gone outside their own homes (shopping, dining out, attending school, church, etc.) has met people who, after meeting them, find they are nothing like the first impressions made by physical appearance alone.
Authors, actors and other students of the humanities are well aware that this phenomenon occurs more often than cases where first impressions based solely on visual contact are correct. Therefore, they would not allow mere image to dictate what traits to give their character.

i'm going to toss in Maison Ikkoku. the two significant characters are a guy some years faraway from intense college (nevertheless suffering to get into college on the initiating, finally getting by college and then attempting to get a role by ability of the top) and a reasonably older woman who's supervisor of the condominium construction the place the guy lives. No hentai, robots, ray weapons, or monsters. ninety six episodes, a rather solid dub, and the story actual is going someplace.
