My Boomer Tips
Continuing my character summaries for the story I am writing. Please let me know what you think of these characters, along with any improvements I could make.
Zachariah Michael Anderson (Everyone calls him Zachy) – 18
• Has been at the school since he was 8, his older brothers Raphael 20, Michael 22 and Gabriel 24, have left the school by the time the story has started (But they will make appearances and be referred to) and is actually very well liked among people. – He doesn’t talk about his parents much.
• He’s tall at 6’5, has a head of dirt blonde hair that falls over Sapphire blue eyes. He has creamy pale skin and a big grin to match.
• He’s a happy, cheerful but deep person. He’s considered to be a joker, and is always quick with a sarcastic and funny comment, more often than not at an inappropriate time – This probably covers up underlying issues, such as his parents leaving him and his brothers to grow up at the school rather than with them.
• He’s smarter than he looks, and gets through all of his normal classes easily. However, he is also very insightful and observant; he seems to always be able to read people like a book, whether they are happy, sad, angry, tired, hungry ect, he knows it, except for Griffin, and Alice when she arrives, he has trouble reading her (this is due to the extensive shield that she’s built up around herself from so many years alone), and that’s what draws him to her - the two become gradual friends over the course of the story.
• He doesn't really trust Arthur, as from the moment he arrives with Alice, he can sense that there is something lurking beneath the surface - but he can't tell what.
• He has the ‘Gift’ of empathy and can read aura’s; which proves useful to people when deciding if someone is untrustworthy. He’s also a decent fighter, for hand to hand combat, so can be useful in a fight.
Lake Tyler Montgomery – 17
• Lake grew up with his Grandmother in Vancouver Canada, like Alice, his parents died when he was very young. His Grandmother sent him to the Home shortly after his thirteenth birthday, when he started displaying the same ‘Gifts’ as both his parents. – His Grandmother is a Witch, as was his Mother, but she believed herself to old to teach him magic by herself.
• He’s small at only 5’3, slim and baby faced with lightly tanned skin, curly mouse brown hair and ice blue eyes. With a lop-sided smile, and a scar under his right eye from the night in which his parents died.
• He’s quiet and shy, and doesn’t really talk to those outside of his social circle. He’s good friends with the twins, Riker and Rydel (when they’re not teasing him), and he likes to hang around with Iris and the girls, because they don’t pick on him for being small. He likes Alice when she arrives, because he sees them as being the same, though he feels sorry that she had to grow up not knowing who she was, and without anyone there – This in turn makes him appreciate his Grandmother more.
• Griffin gives him the creeps; He gets bad vibes being around him.
• He is descendant from a line of Witches’ and Sorcerers, and so can use forms of magic and invoke the spirits; though not powerful one’s – he can only cast a few spells, for levitation and blast forces.
• His father – a French/Canadian Marine - had the ‘Gift’ of sensory location, meaning if given time, he can find anyone or anything anywhere, only however, if he knows exactly who or what it is he is looking for. – His powers work best when angry, but Lake, being kind natured and very reserved, has trouble finding anger to use (until later on in the story).
