Creating Some Characters

This post is in response to Oct. 10, 2012 class

In class we were given ten minutes to create a character and the friends and family affiliated with the character. Well, after looking at my notes I noticed that I kind of like the nameless character that I made up a few months ago. I have decided to name him Paul. 

His name was Paul.

Some things to know about Paul. 

• He makes a living doing odd jobs mostly for old people in Elmira, Ontario 
• He has a few friends from high school and university days 
• Has a BA in Philosophy
• Interested in listening to stories told by other people
• lives by himself but spends most of his time with his girlfriend
• He's 25

His family is kinda antagonistic to him

• Father worked for Uniroyal his whole life. He's extremely nice but not the wisest person in the world
• His mother is timid but passively aggressive
• His sister constantly hassles Paul about his life but lives at home, is 28 and is a failed writer
• His brother is 23 is almost finished university and wants to become a pilot

I dunno what I could do with these characters but I feel like it could be the makings of a television show centralized around a small Ontario town. There would shenanigans between kids and mennonites I suppose. And there would be some standard coffee shop philosophy banter. Maybe CBC would like to pick it up as the next Corner Gas?
