Ned NaNoWriMo + Character Writer = Longest post Ever

Kelley wants me to, what can I say?



I'm so excited!



Does NanoWriMo count as writing stuff, if not, I found a program I absolutly LOVE call character writer, for the most part is free, It does amazing things.



Heres some character creating I did for Casper Sims on it.

First Name: Casper Last Name: Sims
Age: 15 Gender: Female
Origin: Simonshine Type: “The Artist.”

Personality

Casper is creative, expressive, empathetic and very intuitive. She has a skill to see what is right in others, though she cannot see it in herself. She needs to believe that she is fine just the way she is. The only time Casper really understands herself is when she is making something, this makes it posible for her to create an expression self-knowledge through music and poetry. It's the way she discovers her true nature. This expression rings the bell of universal truth in other people. Casper 's mistake is that she believes that to continue this flow of self, to avoid a block, she has to be more of whatever she is. Whatever that is (angry, sad, aggressive), can alienate others and make enemies quickly.

Psychology

Casper may suffer from Mood Disorders->Cyclothymic Disorder
This disorder is a chronic bipolar disorder consisting of short periods of mild depression and short periods of hypomania. Hypomania is a condition similar to mania but less severe. The symptoms are similar with elevated mood, increased activity, decreased need for sleep, grandiosity and racing thoughts. These symptoms may last a few days to a number of weeks. The onset is separated by short periods of normal mood.

The symptoms cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational or other important areas of functioning.

Casper may suffer from Personality Disorders->Avoidant Personality Disorder
This disorder is characterized by a long-standing and complex pattern of feelings of inadequacy, extreme sensitivity to what other people think about them and social inhibition. Symptoms include avoiding occupational activities that involve significant interpersonal contact, an unwillingness to get involved with people unless certain of being liked and restraint within intimate relationships because of the fear of being shamed or ridiculed. He or she has a self image of being socially inept, personally unappealing and inferior to others.

Casper may suffer from Sleep Disorders->Nightmare Disorder
Someone with this disorder experiences repeated wakening caused by extended and extremely frightening dreams, usually involving threats to survival, security or self-esteem. The awakenings generally occur during the second half of the sleep period. On awakening from the frightening dreams, the person rapidly becomes oriented and alert (in contrast to the confusion and disorientation seen in Sleep Terror Disorder and some forms of epilepsy). This causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational or other important areas of functioning.

Casper may suffer from Sleep Disorders->Insomnia
People with this disorder complain of difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep or experiencing non-restorative sleep. The associated daytime fatigue causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational or other important areas of functioning.

Background

Casper never identified with either parent as a child, culminating in a sense of being abandoned, and, as a result, had to look internally to find out who she is. Although, she struggled with it early in life, at this stage, she has discovered some of what she is, though mostly she wishes to be liked by others. Her past is full of exploratory experiences, most of which she is probably pretty embarrassed or ashamed about. When these come out, however, she is quick to confess to them and claim them as all part of who she is. An artist.
Casper's father left when she was six. She hasn't seen him since. Casper's mother never wanted children. When Casper was born her mother tried to make her grow up to fast. Learning that Casper was Special didn't help. If it wasn't for the love from her father, she would have been disowned at the age of five.

Dialogue

The extroverted artist is hard to keep down. Casper is the Mozart type; she can create amazing things and at night go out and play, talk or create with others. She is a communicative artist primarily concerned with how she looks to others, as well as whether this artistic gift will disappear soon. Casper can be insecure which may interfere with attaining her goals. She can be self-revealing and emotionally honest.

Relationships

Casper can be sensitive and emotionally honest in a relationship. Other characters may be drawn to her depth of feeling, but later feel that she subtly rejects them when they get too close.

Story

Casper will move psychologically toward being even healthier, finding a stronghold to rest her identity on, possibly a love that understands Casper or a regained connection to a person from the past who knows her. Through this experience, she becomes "whole" by appreciating what is here and accepting herself as is, which makes self-expression more of a desire and less of a need.
When Casper can fully except that she is Special, she will be truely happy.
