I’ve got some comments to address from last week’s posts and I’ll get to those soon. However, a chat with KiwiValkyrie the other night brought a great concept for character development to mind.
What is your character’s voicemail message?
When people call your character and your character doesn’t pick up, what does the caller hear? Or what would they hear if your character had voicemail? That last is for all the characters that live in worlds without phones.
Patrick’s would say, “Hey, it’s Pat. I can’t answer right now, but leave a message. I’ll call you back.”
Osoron has clerks or secretaries to answer his phone, but his personal cell would probably go something like this: “This is Osoron. I’m really busy, but if you leave a message, I’ll call you back as soon as I have a moment to breathe.”
Something fun to think about. What do your characters’ voicemail messages say?
That sounds like my door exercise several posts back. I like it. Maybe you could toy around with the “What ring tone would this character have?”.
D: Damn ringtones! I hate them because I donno how to make my phone have one! *wants the power rangers dodo dodo dodo sound because its silly!*
