My story characters--- building their profiles

My story characters.....fleshing them out.

The Clan Leader

My name is Psychomann. I play a Shadowsword on Gate3, and tonight is another anniversary of the clan. Three years tonight and Chicory and LuLu are starting tonights event online. I make my excuses as I sometimes have to every third week of the month. I feel pangs of guilt that I will not be there on my headphones, with the people I consider myself closer to then people in my everyday life.

Frank Shenny is in the room next to me, and I can hear him coughing through the walls again. Between coughs he curses the air, shouting at the top of his voice. The walls do a good enough job of muffling some of what spills from his throat like venom from a snake. The bells ring and I hear footsteps walking down the hallway. I quickly close the laptop and switch on the tv, pretend to be engrossed.

"Are you ready John?"

I nod.

The Head Clansman

I call down to Jed that the baby is crying again. He swears and from downstairs I can hear him slam his plate down on the coffee table. He stomps angrily upstairs and using my well rehearsed sing song voice I call out "Its my raid night". Toby stops crying and before I can get back to my mic, Jed bursts through the study door and dumps him on my lap. My glass of wine falls to the floor and smashes. Cold wine splatters up the side of my leg and with that Jed walks out of my life. My eyes return back ot my monitor. I may be able to carry on with him on my lap.
