I continued with my assignment for Margaret "J", and I record the finishing lines here.
MAXWELL DICKUS.
Does the character have any problems they are dealing with at the moment?
Maxwell's brother Ferdinand is in danger of the backlash from some unsavoury characters, who are chasing Maxwell for payment of his debts. Ferdinand is frightened and in hiding.
How might this problem get worse?
Ferdinand fears his family may be kidnapped and held to ransom. Maxwell is totally unconcerned as he feels fairly safe on the remote estate.

Description of Home (Physical and the Feel)

The most important thing to know about this character.
Never take him at face value, he is treacherous
One line characterisation.
He will smile as he steals your purse and grin when you question why?
I think this homework for building a character is a very good exercise for the budding writer. I will find it very easy to stitch words together and create a unique individual. My biggest nagging fear is that I have written with too much detail. I love the exercise of using my intelligence to manufacture a leading player in a much longer story. I think I will have to condense this work enormously before I submit it to Margaret Johnson on Thursday.
We will have two extra people in the class on the day and it will be very interesting to see how easily they manage to bond with the rest of the class.
