Have you ever made a character based on the voice of a singer / actor / etc ? Not the person, mind you, but the sound of their voice. If not, I recommend giving it a try, as it's rather fun to create a character around how they sound and speak. ;3

This is Chauncey. He's a Marquis living in a haunted castle spire entirely alone. He's horridly melodramatic and laments just about everything. Chauncey is serious business. Bumping into someone on the street is akin to making an enemy for life to him. He has a terrible time dealing with life, the world, and everything around him. His list of people who are either out to kill him or are deserving of his revenge runs about ten miles long. Chauncey sits around playing the violin, crooning about all the woes of the world. He's emo before emo was emo. :< What a jerk. He also suffers from about every ye olde wasting disease to have ever existed. Oops. So it goes.
