So recently I had this story idea, and I was hoping you all might be able to help me out.
I wanted to write a series of short stories on a family, the problem is, I have literally at least 31 characters. I realized that although I could write a few of them, eventually they would all begin to resemble one another.
So I was wondering if you might want to create a character? (I'll attach a character profile) I'm not trying to steal a character from anyone, however I've asked some people in my family to make me a character, and it's really interesting how each person creates such a unique individual.
Anyway, if you are interested, the profile is attached! I'm hoping for characters between 0-20. If you could put your name on the top, if by some miracle I'm ever published, I'll make sure to put an acknowledgement in.

Name: Jared Hall Position: Postman Age: 29 Physical Description: 6'0. Short brown hair, gentle green eyes, thin jawline, thin, lanky features.
When he's angry: he clinches his teeth, wrings his hands, and as a result has developed a stomach ulcer because he bottles up his rage. When he's happy: he reminiscences about his fiancee who died three years ago, but it makes him very sad as well. When he's sad: he cries when thinking about his dead fiancee, but he only cries in solitude because he hates to see people cry. When confused/uncertain: he paces or if in the presence of someone, stares dumbly at them as he tries to figure out an answer. When tired: he contemplates where he wants his life to go because he has no idea where to go from here. His tiredness comes mainly from his unsatisfactory life. When sick: he drinks bottles of Nyquil, in hopes of drowning the germs and sorrow. When nervous: he bites his nails and licks his lips. He has frantic thoughts because he has an anxiety disorder. He paces too when in solitude. When jealous: he covets and loathes the person that has what he wants. When in love: he is waiting to fall in love with someone else... Overall personality: Once an outgoing, personable man, after the death of his fiancee he has became introverted, anxious, neurotic, and somewhat bitter. He doesn't talk much anymore to people and keeps to himself. When he does talk to people, he seems very shy and inarticulate. He is thoughtful and loving, but he cannot release himself from her memory and feels frustrated by it. He has a lot of love to give, but cannot give it to anyone else as of present. Character's objective: find love, reform his life, get happy again. Weaknesses: music that plucks his heartstrings; easily discouraged. Likes: drawing, reading, listening to music, dancing. Dislikes: his boss Trevor who is a total dick. He not only hates his personality, but is jealous that he seems to have everything that he is lacking. Secret place: He really only stays in his apartment and holes himself up. He doesn't really have friends anymore, so he's always alone.
Is this what you're looking for? LOL

You're welcome! I will probably use a variant of him, but I'll change quite a bit. I like characters that have a lot of problems.
