Things I Need to Do

Some things I need to finish between now and May 1st are:

1. Create media pages for my character (probably twitter and tumblr) 
2. Revise Twine and make sure it's up to date with the story since it was published
3. Keep posting to my character blog
4. Incorporate new media pages onto the group blog 

More About My Character

My character is named Madeline. To get a sense of who she is, you need to start with the Twine that is posted on her blog. It's a sort of flashback-type story that goes through the events that happened back in Las Vegas, which caused her move east to the city. Her Google Map postings also give a little information on this, and it shows how she travelled from her home to the city.

Her blog just details how she is getting settled into her new home. There are a few postings about encountering the other characters in the group, such as meeting Charlotte on the subway platform. Madeline also uses her blog to promote her business. She is working as a psychic in the city, not because she actually has any psychic abilities, but because she had a passing knowledge of it and it was the first thing that popped into her head when filling out immigration forms. Luckily it worked out for her, because the immigrations officer thought that was a really interesting career and cut her a break.

Madeline's story is about to take a turn for the worse. It is mentioned in the Twine that someone from Las Vegas wanted to blackmail her due to her ex-boyfriend being investigated for a series of murders. A threatening note was the reason why she chose to run away to the city. She posts a video commercial for her business on the blog, and it includes a photo of herself. Unfortunately, someone connected to her past in Las Vegas ends up seeing her video on the Internet, and now knows how to find her, and they are coming for her.

While this is going on, she is also assisting the members of the group in finding Blaire. She becomes friends with a few of the characters, and this is how she gets involved. She doesn't play a very large role in finding Blaire, but because of the riskiness of the finding mission, it makes it very dangerous for her as the person from her past tries to hunt her down.

All About Madeline

My fictional character's name is Madeline. She is a young woman (mid-20sish) who has just recently moved to the city. Her home is out west, near Las Vegas, which is not under the government control that the city is under. She lived very happily out there, until one morning when she discovered that her boyfriend was missing and being investigated in connection to recent murders. Obviously, this was very traumatizing, and even more so because soon after speaking with the police, she arrived home to find a threatening note blackmailing her. The note said that they knew the truth about what happened with the murders, and they were going to tell. This scared her, so she ran away from her home, abandoning her job, friends, and family.

She arrived in the city with only a modest amount in savings. She had only been a cocktail waitress in Vegas, so she had no idea what she was going to do for a job here. Upon arriving to the city, she had to fill out some immigration forms, and listing an occupation was required. Thinking fast, Madeline put down that she was a psychic, based on a passing interest in palm readings and a distant aunt who was into Tarot card readings. Luckily, this worked out really well for her, because the immigrations officer was very interested in this, and cut her a break in placing her in an apartment.

Soon after, she was put in contact with a man who owned a building where a psychic used to have a shop. She had recently passed away, so Madeline was in the right place at the right time to sort of "inherit" the lady's shop. Now, she's trying to settle down in the city and establish her business so that she doesn't run out of money and have to head back home.
