We have fifteen characters in this thread and two of them are pre-teen serial killers. That's more than 13%. This is not a good average.

This is about going to heaven or hell, nice people aren't fun to write about.

Name: Samuel Deyn

Sex: Male angel

Appearence: Tall, long blonde hair, stumps on his back where wings used to be.

Backstory: Sam was one of the angels whose task was to guard Heaven and make sure that no one got in from Hell. Then an escaped demon called Gary tricks Sam into believing that he is an angel by disguising himself as such, and should therefore be let into heaven. Sam is not all that bright for an angel. Gary is later caught by some other angels, Mike, Steve, and Richard (profiles to follow), who send him back to Hell and leave Sam there too - cutting off his wings so he can't come back up to heaven.

Location: Heaven -> Hell

But people can't get to heaven if they're in hell. Also it would be easy to tell that they are from hell with the obvious post-torture look in people's eyes. Fix that up a bit?

You know, this would be good if some character's stories crossed.
We already have the freak 16 year old with the guy who got killed by a crowbar, we should have more of those.

Oh yeah, and you haven't added my war dude yet.

Yeah. There's too many for me to bother editing, and lots of the entries dont go with the story.

And yeah, characters intertwining is the main thing Im gonna be doing.

Name:Jordan Cayman
Age:34
Sex:Male
Appearance:Dirty blonde hair, contacts, Average height, Fit, but not too muscular.
Backstory: Married to Isabelle "Bell" Cayman, Had a child at the age of 3 named Charlie who was autistic. He used to smoke, but quit once his baby was born
Personality: Kind, humble, carefree
Hell, Earth or Heaven? He is be debated on whether he should go to hell or heaven. He killed himself after his child drowned in a lake, and though he was a good man, suicide is a huge sin. God had mercy on him, and gave satan his body form to trick him into thinking he won the man over, while god kept his soul in heaven to be with his son.
