Tutorial on fiction writing: Character

  • A young man in his 20's, working on board an oil ship
  • Thin, medium height and tanned skin
  • Mixed parentage
  • Intelligent, quick to adapt
  • Ill-mannered but polite
  • Not afraid to speak his mind
  • Possess an air of aloofness
  • Does not care much about his appearance
  • Don't know how to express himself
  • Trying to peel off smoking habit

He gazes into the sunset longingly. His usually twinkling big rounded eyes decorated with spiky jet black lashes mirrors the loneliness he felt as the wind blows his unruly hair all over his forehead. Thinly built for a man in his 20’s, he stands at 5 foot 8, an average height for most Asian men. Blessed with a hawk-like-nose that lends him an air of haughtiness, he looks much similar to the main character in Pirates of the Caribbean, Captain Jack Sparrow with his darkly tanned skin as he leans forward on the railings of the oil ship he is working for. Well-developed muscles in his forearm rippled slightly as he delved his left hand into his trouser pocket for his favorite pack of Dunhill, only to find a folded piece of note and a carved silver ring. Ah, his promise must not be broken, he will try hard to keep to his promise if that’s the only thing he can do here. Memories flooded his mind, bringing him back to the rainy day the promise was made, and sealed with these two very items.
