Character Builder
In 400 words or less, write a scene that introduces an interesting character. The catch is that you must reveal character and their personality through actions, reactions, and interactions with others. This is an exercise to show the reader instead of tell them. Avoid passive description. The details contain examples.
Please keep it clean, if you have to check any level other than "none" for language, sex, or violence, your piece will not qualify. As sponsor, I will be enforcing the rules.
Reviewers, please read the rules carefully before voting. Please vote on the author who best used active voice, revealed their character's personality, and made that character interesting--regardless of whether you happen to like the character or not.
