The Official Scribblers Discussion Board

I thought I'd include this for all those who are going to write the Scribblers, since Jester and I have both now done a story each and I know Blossom is going to soon. First of all; the characters are the hardest! Stereotyping each other is, therefore, the way forward methinks. So:

Chronal - A leader-type by necessity, but otherwise fairly daft and playful.
Dialogue memes: "You know what that doesn't? Matter." "You know who cares? No one." etc.

Amity - Child-like and sweet, and rather fond of playing games and drinking tea socially.
Dialogue memes: "Splendid!" "Oh, let's play a game!" etc. Think Enid Blyton, but not racist.

Wraith - Quite reticent, rather geeky. Judges people who conform to things/are pretentious.
Dialogue memes: "Success get." "Biscuit get." etc. Also negative rhymes, eg "Smoker choker".

Lyric - Suave, cynical karate ninja. He can quote Wordsworth while breaking your face.
Dialogue memes: "I Captain want tea." He also says dreadful things. I shan't write them.

Finesse - Ooh, trippy. She's me. I just gave her stuff to do, so someone else will have to fill her profile in.

Shift - The trickiest of the lot, and I didn't quite manage to get her right. Again, suggestions gratefully received. I think next time I'll make her into the trivia buff: a constant stream of "Did you know...?" as her dialogue. Not sure, still.

As you write these characters, please add here anything else you've brought to them or whatever. It would help me no end! I'm rubbish. Oh, and the bad guys:

Mr. Sintaro - The head of a convicted offenders transportation company, called Transporters Of Reprobate Yobs (or TORY for short. I was feeling childish.) He has lots of money at his disposal, countless henchmen and now, possibly, potentially, he has super powers...

The Narrator - totally Blossom's idea. Lyric's mysteriously long-lost brother, who feels misunderstood by the world and is therefore a criminal. Needs to grow the crap up. Fond of wearing foppish black costumes. He is incredibly powerful, but has no imagination or real understanding of how to use his powers.

Our supporting cast so far consists of Kayleigh, our biological scientist contact. That's it. Our HQ is called the Pit, and we have an environmentally friendly plane - the Trans-Jet. We get grants from the government, apparently - make of that what you will.

Anyway, yeah, please add to this. Let the discussion commence...
