Design a hunter - poll now closed.

I'm feeling kinda crap today, what with girly issues and evil interviewers and just blergh!

BUT, I had an idea that I was thinking could be fun... or just crash and burn. Who know? Figured it's worth a try.

I thought it might be fun to write a Supernatural story, but from the POV of an original character. One who is a hunter. Hell there were a lot of them hanging out at the Road House, right!?

AND I thought, maybe, you guys could help me design this original character/hunter. Come on, it could be fun! So, first, the basics.


[Poll #1174640]



Assuming this works, I'll have a few more questions for character traits etc. in the next few days, or I'll just abandon the idea. I'm hoping this will be a fun way to build up a character. :)

I love this idea! Building stories/characters "by committee" can be difficult/dangerous, but it can also give readers such a buzz when they've contributed to it :) Hope this works out for you, and I look forward to more Qs, and eventually the story!

Thanks! I hope this works. My muse is fickle, but I thought this might be a fun way to create an OC. I'll try to be careful not to back myself into a crappy place... hopefully! :)

I knew there was another major American racial group I was missing, but my mind went blank. Thanks! We have quite a different racial mix here in Australia. :)

Well, Canada is very multi-cultural, but Quebec, where I live, isn't really. I was just thinking about who I'd totally see as hunter material in terms of actresses and Michelle Rodriguez came to mind.

OMG! I love Michelle Rodriguez! *nods* Fabulous!

She's so baddass, an exorcism would totally go like this:

Michelle: Right, I'm gonna exorcism your ass out of the poor girl's body.
Demon: No, really, no trouble, I'll just go away.

*snickers* Yep and she'd be packing some pretty spiffy weaponry too! ;)

Gleee! I went for a over forty female native american, with a dog and an expertise in demons... I picture her with braided hair and a day job in a crap tourist trap wearing a silly costume... but by night she fights evil! :-D

I'm curious to see what will eventually emerge.

OMG! I love your hunter already! :)
Yeah, don't know if this will work, but it's gonna be fun trying anyway. :)

I think I just made your new and original hunter Bobby. *facepalm*

Dude! I miss Bobby! ;(

Teehee! Yeah, me too! He'll be around a bit though in future episodes, methinks... ;)
