Exercise #3 Creating a CharacterSee the lovely people featured below? Those are 12 of my friends.
So I want you to look at these 12 people and choose someone for yourself. Come up with an identity for them, including such things as where they're from, what they do for a living, if they have families or live on their own, personality quirks, likes and dislikes... whatever you feel would help develop them into a character you might use in a story. You can go for contemporary, or place them in a futuristic or fantasy setting if you like.
And of course, physical description is a must!
There are no hard rules on this, other than me asking that you include the names provided in order to avoid any confusion (though feel free to name your character whatever you wish). Other than that, use as many or as few words as you like, and just create a character that makes sense to YOU!
Character Profile for Jonas Bagdar (JB)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
Jonas Bagdar was born in the Realm of Shadow. He was orphaned at an early age and taken in by monks at a monastery near where he was born. They taught him many skills both practical and magickal.
Even though he was born in the Realm of Shadow, his use of magick is hindered by the trauma of watching his parent’s death at the hands of the Shadow Emperor.
He is now a mercenary on the side of good. He is willing to fight for the weak and the oppressed with little more compensation than a hot meal and a dry bed. He has traveled many realms since leaving the monastery after he became of age. He does not like to settle in one place for long.
His constant companion is a half wolf, half hell hound by the name of Da’Gar. (See Below)

DA’GAR (Non-speaking Character)
Da’Gar is a hybrid dog like creature bred from a wolf and a hell hound. He is male and of unknown age. He is .75 meters tall at the shoulder deep brown with black markings on his back and face that help him blend into the shadows. He has no magickal powers or abilities.
Da’Gar is the loyal companion of Jonas Bagdar, never leaving his side unless commanded to do so. He was found as a pup near a volcano in a distant land while Jonas was hunting. It was presumed he was thrown out of hell for being small and part wolf.
Da’Gar is emotive and can sense the emotions of Jonas and others around him. Despite his fierce appearance, he is normally calm unless provoked.
