Random Characters Need New Homes

These are some characters I've created but have no use for, sadly. I wondered if  maybe some of you would have use for them...? Also, feel free to post any orphaned characters you have!

  1. Lucia Brink

??To tell you the truth, I created Lucia in my early childhood writing days. She served me well, too, starring in my first failed book attempt. Lucia is a strange girl, sent by her mother to spend a summer at her aunt's house with her newly adopted cousin, Glenith. Lucia is quiet, with dark hair and blue eyes. Her personality makes her hard to use a a main character. Characters that do not express themselves tend to get lost in other characters' emotions. Lucia has some dark secrets, one of which would include witchcraft...? 

     2. Big Bad Wolf the II

This was another character in a train-wrecked story. Here, I was trying to make a story about the family of the faerie tale classic The Big Bad Wolf. It happened to be the the Big Bad Wolf had a son who really just wanted to be a nice guy. It started as a humorous story, but quickly failed after a few paragraphs.

    3. Alester Renig

Alester Renig was one of my favorite characters. He was a thief, throw threw time while awaiting his death sentence. Actually, Alester was just a kid. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and happened to be thrown into a new time and place. He had no family or anything like that. A deeply mysterious character.

   4. Iris _______

I dealt with this character for such a short time that I didn't even get around to giving her a last name. She's a middle schooler with blonde hair and big brown eyes. She's overweight, but once you get to meet her, you don't care about her appearance. She's sweet on the outside, but she secretly curses people a lot. She always asks for forgiveness though. (Basically a Christian Teen struggling through life.) She sees things a lot differently than others because she's extremely smart. She still wants to be a little kid, though, and is tired of being forced to grow up so fast. She's funny, but her sense of humor seems only to affect people her age and younger. She talks a lot, but quickly shuts up around strangers.

Anyways, thanks for looking through my "orphaned characters." I hope you find use for them or are able to make your own using these characters. Please, if you have character ideas, post them below. Also, if you have an idea of what to do with these characters, post! Thanks!

This is a nice idea, but I don't know how well it'd work out. I don't really feel like there's enough information about the characters for people to understand who they are and what situations they're in. For instance, you mentioned that Lucia has some dark secrets, but that doesn't really help us understand her character any better unless we know exactly what those secrets are.

I could use Alester Renig. Charismatic leader? 

EDIT: But evil.

I'm still working on After Dark. Think maybe he could be the villain. Or at least, a minor villain.

Even if I was to use one of these characters I'm sure I'd end up changing them so much that they would be considered mine at that point.

Interesting Idea though, I'll see if I have some character 'files' lying around.

I think that is the point. To provide inspiration.
