Describe the character's appearance in a brief paragraph: Tall and slender, almost stick like. His face is starting to droop and has lost most of his hair though it's still got its color, he looks sickly but not overly pale. His skin is starting to look old with spots all over and loose on his bones. He doesn't seem able to grow facial hair. He is by no means feminine.

Personality-18
In one word: loser19
First impression: No one wants to get near him because he's big and ugly, though some believed once they got close he'd be a nice guy. Few people ever get close enough because he doesn't trust anyone.20

Sense of humor: He thinks he has one, but only tells old jokes.33

Brownie Points:46
What complications arise from this character?47
Wow, you want him more complicated than I've already made him? Okay, Medically he's in bad shape. His knees are giving out on him, he has chronic back ache, migraines and a possible heart condition. He wouldn't know for sure 'cause he hasn't been to a doctor in years, can't afford it. To ease the pain he drinks and bums drags of marijuana off kids in the neighborhood. They know better than to sell him any because they know he's not good for the money.48
Comments/Notes: Hmmm... You never asked for occupation and or school information. He graduated with only an AA in language from the closest Community College to his home. He's only had part time jobs, whenever he's tried to get a better job, he messes up the interview somehow.49
Challenge making him the winner without getting the girl, winning a bunch of money, or any other cliché way. He has to do some kind of hard work to earn it. Perhaps from his body language reading ability?50

One of them does something illegal while trying to win a case. The other covers for them by passing themselves off as the other for the alibi. They both will do anything to win a case.97

I put them both together because really they are one character they're very much the same it's hard to tell either apart.99
