Greetings,

In progress of my story, I find lack of characters, and I'm not the smartest man in thinking of characters...This is somewhat childish, but please create brief character profiles. Here's an example:

Name: Richard Masin
Rank: Gunnery Sergeant
Age: 25
Born: Missouri
Personality: Serious, to the point, does not tolerate failure (etc)
Physical: Hazel eyes, tanned, 5'7'', abused skin- rough;
Education: High School Drop Out
Favored Weapon: Thompson
Backround: Grew up in a small town on a farm, with three sisters, and no mother.
---
(Any other info)

Just keep it brief, I need MANY ideas, so please support me in my cause, I will greatly appreciate your help. Even statings of names will help to be quite honest.

Thanks alot men,

Sergeant Frank Minoso

You are in the wrong business then.

It's not a complete business, I'm studing to become one though. It's more of a hobby. Please make a character...><

Maybe a dumb answer,

Go to the phone book, randomly choose names.

Dont pick all the odd ones, there were lots of Smiths and Jones's in the US Army.

Make a list of skills, roll a dice and allocate points/skills/attributes, just like D&D.

Use a lot more imagination in your writings or your story is going to be bloody short!!

I'm with Ali - the D&D method is a great way to do it. There's a great little program that I've used that has a random name generator called WriteItNow. Has some nice tools to help you organize plots, ideas, etc.
