Charles Wesley Ellis (Zealot) 1) how you thought of their name Aside from just loving grave yards in general, I often go there to steal good, real names that I've never heard of. I do the same thing with movie credits and the logs where I used to work (last names only). I had already decided on the first name "Charlie" when I saw this grave stone and thought, "PERFECT!"
Zealot came from Red vs Blue-- when Sarge and Caboose team up and get swarmed by "The Zealots" playing capture the flag. I hadn't realized that they were called "Zealots" until a while after seeing that particular, hilarious plot line, and I sort of fell in love with the word, and the way it sounds. I just wanted to name a character Zealot after that.2) what made you create the character in the first place
In the plot of my story, after a short evolution, the characters that I brought together didn't have a reason to stay together. In fact, they had a lot of reasons to stay apart, and since I had split them up in a dangerous location, I needed somebody to come and save Henry and Connor, who are made of fail and can't really protect themselves. So I made Zealot.3) how the character has changed over time (if they have changed)Originally he was an older guy, and an actual religious zealot who died as soon as they got back to Chef and Yamako, but I hated him so much that it wasn't worth suffering through the time until he killed himself. After a short period of pondering what sort of character would fit better that I could still name Zealot, I went back to the source of the name and turned him into a 16 year old gamer.
The problem here was that I fell so much in love with him that when it came time to kill him, I couldn't. He's probably my favorite character out of all of them now, and since I keep adding characters, the plot keeps dissolving and reforming. The latest plot change, another edit to a previously added character who really didn't need to be added at the time, is working really well for me so far, and it gives everybody a legit reason to be doing what they're doing.4) any random fun fact about that character I haven't completely thought through their technology, but I've always wanted Charlie to be a Virtual Reality Gamer, mostly survival horror. He plays online tournaments a lot, and it was his brother who dubbed him with the name "Zealot", which was, at the time, poking fun at how dedicated he was to the games.

Carnemire Charles Wesley Ellis (Zealot) 4) any random fun fact about that character I haven't completely thought through their technology, but I've always wanted Charlie to be a Virtual Reality Gamer, mostly survival horror.

....
Adeline Coralie Delfin
1) how you thought of their name
It actually just occurred to my what last name i should give her. I think it sounds good. Anywho, i named her Adeline because she needed to be a French whore, and i didn't want to name her Giselle.
2) what made you create the character in the first place
Once upon a time, there was the world. And then there was great wars, and some countries decided to relocate into space. Also, Betsy learned a great deal about cartography. Put all this together, and you have a fledgling RP made up of part old west, part futurist, and part... Well, a lot of things. So Adeline was made to be a French courtesan in a port town.
3) how the character has changed over time (if they have changed)
She hasn't had much development yet. But she has potential.
4) any random fun fact about that character
Adeline can drink shot for shot with Russians. She smokes like a chimney, and cheats at poker. She's also good at shooting pool.
