Creative Task of the Week #3 - Fictional Character

Alright, creative task of the week 3 is creating your own fictional character. Well I'm a bit late in this as we are already in week 5, but I'm trying my best to catch up with it.

It's been a challenging course for me, but I'm liking it every bit of it. Those of you who still don't know about iversity.com MOOC - Future of Storytelling, do check it out. If you are not into this course no problem, do check out their vast range of different topics.

#StoryMOOC

Last week we have dealt with character profiles for characters that already exist. This week we build on exactly this task by using your knowledge about how to create fictional characters to create a new fictional one. This character can be entirely your own creation, for example created for a story you’ve already written or a character that you’re just inventing – or – if that’s too difficult – you can vaguely base it on a classic fictional character from Lady Macbeth to Sherlock Holmes – ... it doesn’t matter as long as the character is unique and yours, with it’s own original name.

To clarify that this is a fictional StoryMOOC character, make this character state somewhere that he/she's a friend/acquaintance/enemy/fan of (...well, give him ANY relation to...) a certain "Aunt Renie" (a friendly, old, world-traveling lady from Potsdam, and a character we'll meet later in our MOOC).
