  1. Character Name: Miss Pink

    Inspiration: Strangely enough, pink was my initial inspiration. For whatever reason when I was gifted the game, I had the urge to make the smallest, cutest, pinkest character ever. I also watched several episodes of Teen Titans and decided that what every teen girl needs is a little dark power.

    Character Name: Doctor Medica
    Server: Justice
    Archetype: Technology Empathy/Electric Defender
    Inspiration: When I read the backstory about the Rikti attack, I couldn't help but think of the 9-11 attacks in the US. Then I thought about all the non-super-powered people in the real world that made such a difference in the wake of the destruction. I wanted to make a character who was not super-powered, but had the desire to make a difference in the wake of the destruction of Paragon City. Forever haunted by what she witnessed, she doesn't care about prestige or money--she just wants to do her part and help everyone as much as possible.

    I hurt myself today
    To see if I still feel
    I focus on the pain
    The only thing that's real
    The needle tears a hole
    The old familiar sting
    Try to kill it all away
    But I remember everything

    What have I become?
    My sweetest friend
    Everyone I know
    Goes away in the end
    You could have it all
    My empire of dirt
    I will let you down
    I will make you hurt

    I wear this crown of [censored]
    Upon my liar's chair
    Full of broken thoughts
    I cannot repair
    Beneath the stain of time
    The feeling disappears
    You are someone else
    I am still right here

    What have I become?
    My sweetest friend
    Everyone I know
    Goes away in the end
    You could have it all
    My empire of dirt
    I will let you down
    I will make you hurt

    If I could start again
    A million miles away
    I would keep myself
    I would find a way

    Writing Styles

    One of the best writing exercises I know is to begin with a blank piece of paper and then write whatever comes to mind for three minutes (or however long) without stopping. No matter what comes to mind, keep writing. If your mind comes up completely blank, write, "what should I write about" or "I don't know what to write here". The point is to keep writing. When the time is up, look at what you've written. A few choice sentences or phrases might pop out at you as keepers.

    Another exercise that a writer friend of mine uses is to have random people give him random phrases. Using that phrase, he comes up with a complete scene in which it's used.
