WACC- Writers Against Cardboard Characters discussion

Okay, he's actually a really round character, but there's no folder for this. I need to fix his middle name. It is currently "Carson", but I don't want it to be. I really want it to start with a 'C', so just keep that in mind. His mom is from Spain, so I was wondering if anybody knew some Spanish first-names that sound good with 'Mitchell' and 'Dawes'.

(Note** 'Dawes' is not actually my last name, so I'm not being all conceited. I just like the sound of it.)

I'll start a "name" folder.

But what about Carlos? Francisco? Miguel? Raoul? Estevan? Mario? Jesus? (hay-soos) Tito? Those are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Umm, Carlos is the only one that works at all so far. It needs to start with 'C'.

umm... does it have to start with a C??? I don't have much if it does...

Carlos, Casta, Castel, Chavez, Chico, Cid, Cruz

Do any of those work?

Carlos, Chavez, and maybe Castel will work...but 'chico' means boy in Spanish...

I've also heard it as a name. Sorry.

It's okay. I've only heard it to just mean "boy".

I've settled on 'Chavez'.

okay cool... hehe... sorry I wasn't much help... lol

It's okay. It does need to start with a C because MCD is just...well, it's just his initials. It became official a long time ago.

MCD sounds professional. Like something on one of those lawyer briefcases.

Ya. his middle name has been 'carson' for a while, so i'm not too keen on changing it.

He needs a few more flaws....
flaws he already has:
when he gets angry, watch out.
vain
pessimistic
big mouth (literally as well as figuratively)
Bad at anything science related
holds a grudge
doesn't like to read

Hmm... here are some off the top of my head:

anti-social
really intense mood swings
cocky (you said vain, but it's a little different)
impatient
secretive

I don't even know if any of those will work, but...

He could break pencils when he gets mad!

Yeah, he's impatient. He's also got the attention span of a three yr old... cocky indeed....Eh, the intense mood swings make me think 'bi-polar'... He is very social...Hmm. More, please. You're brilliant. I'll use secretive. But still, more please.

I can't come up with many good ones now, seeing as I need to go to bed, but I'll try a few more.

Bad at making decisions
Hates animals (I figured it would sorta mesh with the horses thing...)
Loves old war movies (sorry, I consider that a flaw)
Hates anything that hints at romance
The opposite of a perfectionist; doesn't care about anything

He hates all animals except dogs. He has a dog. Thanks, Maxy! Good night! Sleep well!

Gute nacht!

I don't care if I spelled that right. Me tiiiireeddddddd...... duuuh daaaaaaaah doooooooooooorgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

One more idea:

Bad at keeping promises? Forgetful?

duuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh ddddddddaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh doooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

He's sorta forgetful...I mean, he can remember to do stuff, but he has a hard time remembering things he's supposedly learned at school.

Maybe he just doesn't pay attention at school...

Maybe he sluffs! Haha. Kidding. Dearest Mitchel isn't THAT stupid. ;]

*Snorts* That he doesn't.

No. He's not THAT stupid. Although, when it comes to science, he's not that skilled.

does he blow stuff up??? *laughs uncontrollably*

No. He just gets bad grades in science.

Seriously, we need a 'name' folder. We also need a 'suggestions for the group' topic....But I could do that one...

aww... no explosions???
