Writing Process Part 2: The Characters

The characters in this story are ones that I take off of people I know. Take the first two main characters, Tabitha and Zack Cent. Tabitha Cent is taken off of one of my best friends Tabitha Allen, who has been the inspiration for two characters in the story, the sister Tabitha, and in a short story I did for school Ayama. The character I took several of the quirks I have seen from Tabitha and put it into the character. There are a few things that she does not agree with at all, that she is very verbal about. The character Zack Cent I take off myself and my friend from school everyone called mini-me. I have a huge list of fears that get in my way, and I take some of those and try to make moments that will happen later on be scarier. The character Krystal Watts I have taken off of two people also, my good friend Crystal from school and my ex girlfriend, I will leave her name out of this cause I know she will have a fit about not being asked. She was a god horrible girl friend, but what happened was I came up with the idea to have the other female in the first part to be the main characters ex girl friend. I am gonna probably get some flack if any of the people from my school read this, but modeled Professor Asland after two people, my high school principle and my favorite history teacher, each had a lot to do with me and from the way I was thinking, I had a image of the two combined in my head. My friend Nathan Evermore is the inspiration for Fred, they act the same for the most part, vague as all get out and kinda shady without a whole lot of info.The Three other characters that were added in chapter seven, Marcus, Wade, and Ethan, are some of my more favorite to write about. Marcus is taken off of my friend Victor Delany, who is pretty much the same kind of person. Wade is the standard pot head and pizza boy that all horror should have. And Ethan came from one big inspiration, the bartender at the start of Resident Evil Outbreak File 1. Yeah, I love that game and it inspired me so much. Those are the main characters at this point, there will be a second part of this if there is any more characters introduced.
