Character Kit stuff

Hi guys.

Just to make it easier, I'm copying in this email the Character Kit that we worked on in class today so you have a record of it in your email. Here it is:

Think about your Second Life character/avatar and apply the following set of criteria to them. Imagine you are that character and answer these questions:

* Super-objective (what is your aim in life?)
* I see myself as (five words)
* if I were a car/food item/alcoholic drink/sport/action hero/animal I would be a.....
* I dress to accentuate my.....
* I dress to hide my.....
* I lead with my....(body part)
* My idea of a good night is......
* My idea of a bad night is.....
* I value my best friend because they.....
* Favourite book/film/TV show/music/web site
* Relaxing means.....

This is what's known as a "character kit" - a set of questions you can use to build up the depth and believability of a character.

Writing for Multimedia - Second Life town details, Week 2

Hi WM1 guys.

Here's what we came up with for our Second Life town concept:

- a "green" theme with parks, animals and car free zones
- holiday-style setting with cafes, cinemas etc

Details of who is going to build what, thus far (note - this may change but will be set by Week 4):

Canals/cinema/art gallery - Peter, Rene, Arthur
Stadium/Colosseum - Waseem, Simon
Carnival - Enoka
Cafes - Nelson/Nathan
Lighthouse - Dimitri, Chris, Ed
Swimming Pool - David
Pub - Andrew, Tom
Casino - Will, Garrick, Dwayne
Race track/drag strip - Enoka
Town Hall - Jay, Parv, Tinny
Open Zoo/Park - Chris, Jay

Note that we will have to work with Dale to see what is doable and to share the work load around, so this is subject to revision.
