Everyone's evil so far so I thought I'd come up with a nice guy:

Name: Al Cripslock

Age: 28

Sex: Male

Appearance: Black hair, green eyes, average height, average build, um ... a big nose (just to add some sort of characteristic. Not too big. Just a little bigger than average. Like, by a centimetre or something.)

Backstory: Left school after college (not sure where you're from [Edit: Oh. Canada. Duh] but I'm talking British college which finishes at 18), has a long term girlfriend called Emma and lives with her in a flat in Newcastle. Emma is six months pregnant and not working. He works full time as a second-hand car salesman and because he's so honest he doesn't earn that much money doing it. As such they live in not a very nice area of Newcastle (and that's by Newcastle's standards. We're talking stepping over dead bodies to walk out the front door). One night their flat gets broken into and when Al confronts the burglar he gets killed with a crow bar.

Personality: Nice, honest, hard-working, caring

Location: Initially Earth, then Heaven.

(I was thinking about making the burglar a character and then having him in some way refered to the psychiatrist I made earlier. Is that a good idea or is it getting too complex?)

Image

Backstory: A king of an old forgotten kingdom, he was a nice man and took good care of his land, one day: He died, he goes to heaven, but insults God for letting him die, he then chooses to rather go to Hell therefore a friend of the Devil.

Hell, extremely evil nowadays. Hates Kayne.

Quote from Devour
Name: Cindy Braham
Age: 21
Sex: Female
Appearance: Blonde hair that went halfway down her back. She has thin brown eyebrows and shining blue eyes. In other terms, she's beautiful.
Backstory: Cindy was that she had grown up in a poor family. Her parents couldn’t afford anything besides groceries, and enough of the bills to barely stay above the eviction status. After an entire childhood of being very conscious of everything she wanted or asked for in fear of causing the final eviction note, Cindy made a vow to herself to do everything she could to get a job that would pay lots of money. She wanted to be able to get her kids what they wanted. Bikes, game systems, or whatever this generation of kids wanted. She didn’t want her kids living a replay of her life. It was an ambition that paid off.
--Earth

Name: Ried Braham
Age: 25
Appearance: Always has a sort of frown. He's a police officer and has seen some bad things. On duty or off, he always wears his vest, and has black jeans.
Backstory: His marriage with Cindy is what you would call true love. Even if Ried came home, ashamed that he killed a man, even when he thought that Cindy shouldn’t put up with the times that he’d have nightmares in bed about the people he’s killed, people he’d sent to jail, coming up to torture him. No matter what problems they had, nothing could kill the undying love they had for each other.
--Earth

Two new characters made.

Edit: Ninja'd multiple times. I'll enter/fix your entries.


At Schall: Oh, that one guy's last name? I never noticed it. His last name's Andrews now.

Edit2: No, being complex is good. Make a character of the burglar too, if you want.

Name: Jimmy Robertson

Appearence: About six feet tall, fairly athletic, short brown hair

Backstory: Failed most of his GCSE's and left school at 16. Got involved in drugs, mostly methamphetemine, lot's of other stuff as well. The drugs seriously fried his brain and he started hearing voices. He constantly thought that people were following him and would often have bad dreams. He turned to crime to fund his drug habit. When someone disturbed him while he was trying to rob a flat he panicked and killed him [Al] with his crowbar. He discarded the crowbar at the scene and police later matched his fingerprints to it from an earlier crime. At trial his lawyer requested a phsychological evaluation of Jimmy because he was shouting and screaming a lot in the holding cell. He was then refered to Dr Hursely who diagnosed him as paranoid schitzophrenic and prescribed thorazine as a course of treatment. This was essentially a chemical lobotomy and that made him useless at trial, leading to the failure of his insanity defence and him being sentanced to twenty years in prison. Five years later he was killed in the prison in some hideous and interesting way.

Personality: Aggressive, insane, confused, scared, angry

Location: Earth, then probably Hell

Name: Christian Belle
Age: 8
Sex: Male
Appearance: 5ft 5, short dark-blond hair, blue/grey eyes, a nice (sort of buck-tooth) smile, button nose, thin lips, faint freckles and small ears. Thin arms and legs, legs are quite long.
Backstory: His mother died when he was 4. He lives in England, and as life is hard, Christian had to adapt. Christian started off in a small gang that was mainly located on his street, all of the children involved were from 4 years old to 10 years old. They would mainly steal stuff from peoples lawns or some candy from the local store. Christian left the gang for another one when he was 5, getting involved in vandalizing and proper theft. Once in a few fortnights he would break into someone's house with the gang and steal their food and precious belongings. Christian stuck with the gang until he was eight, he entered one of the main city gangs and started learning to fight. He had to pass an initiation test, which was to kill someone. Christian passed... with flying colours, it was a massacre. He ended up doing 12 other killing jobs, and once, murdered a family. Murders his dad 2 days before his birthday. Next day he has to murder another guy, a 68 year old. Christian mysteriously disappears and is found one month later in the garden of the old man with the head of a spade in his skull, and the old man has disappeared. Christian never lived to 9 (just to make sure ya know).
(oh, and he deserved it)
Personality: Rude, loud, obnoxious and violent.
