CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT 4

hi guys! so previously character development tasks were given on thursdays, but since neither dev nor i will be around tomorrow and we haven’t had one in quite a while, we decided to throw this out to you tonight!

this week your task is to take this archetype quiz as your character(s) and screenshot/paraphrase their results. you can respond to those results in or out of character to discuss how well you think they do or do not fit the character and how they might feel about them.

you can find some examples on carson’s, leia’s, and daisy’s blogs.

Interrogation: Taylor O’Brien

What can you tell me about Riley Grey?                                                                                         “He was a good treasurer. Slightly hard to work with sometimes but he was good at what he did.” Taylor explained. Sure he was a bit annoying towards some people but she didn’t know any specifics and she didn’t really think it matter at this point. She was pretty sure that everybody who was already interrogated already made that point.                      

Did he have any enemies?                                                                                                             Taylor shrugged shaking her head, and took a sip out the of the water they had provided her.” What enemies can one make that would lead someone to murder them? Especially in college?” She asked the detective in front of her. She was tired and stressed and the look on the detective's face wasn’t helping. “ I don’t think he had any enemies. Maybe some people didn’t like him but killing Riley is a little too extreme.” Taylor clarified. Joey didn’t like him but she wasn’t going to throw his name around because she knew that he had nothing to do with it.                                                                                                                                                                         Where were you on the night of October 22nd?                                                                        Taylor read somewhere the tips and tricks for lying and she was trying soo hard not to do any of that. She didn’t avoid eye contact and didn’t show how nervous she was but having the police officer imply that she could’ve been the killer upset her. “ I went to a party with my boyfriend and best friend. Avery Maxwell and Joseph Ames if you want to check my alibi.” She looked down after she said that so she missed the slightly pitying look on the detective's face. Not that she would’ve noticed either way.

We know you were at the same party Riley was that night. Did you see him there?                         “I saw him a few times, each time drunker than before.” Taylor said, tracing the wood of the table with her finger. “He seemed like he was enjoying his time.” Outside of student council meetings, she didn’t go out of her way to talk to him. Most of their interactions was him approaching her and even that was sparingly since he addressed most of his complaints during the meetings.

Who was he with? What was he doing? Who did he talk to?                                                              At the barrage of questions, Taylor’s heart skipped a beat. It was too much and the urge to cry started to increase. She didn’t know anything and at this point she wanted to go home.” He was probably with his friends getting drunk. “ She took a deep breath and forced herself to relax.” Look, I don’t know who he was talking to at the party, I was pretty busy enjoying myself to watch him.” She took another sip of water hoping that might help her dry throat

When did he leave? Did anyone else leave around that time?                                                           “I left around 10 because Avery wasn’t feeling very well and again, I don’t when Riley left and with whom.” Taylor was tired of having to repeat herself over and over again. It seemed like the detective wasn’t listening to her and was just trying make her feel upset.

Is there anything else you’d like to tell me?                                                                                 Taylor shook her head and finished the rest of the water. She got up and grabbed her purse on her way to the door. After she left the building, she ran to her car and tried to calm down. The idea that there might actually be a murderer in campus was a scary thought but coupled with the intense interview, she needed to cry. Instead of going to her dorm room, she headed to her parents house two hours away because she wanted to be alone and that was the best place to be alone. Her parents won’t even be at the house but at the store and she could have all the privacy she wanted.

INTERROGATION: AVERY MAXWELL

What can you tell me about Riley Grey?

“Um,” Avery says, stalling as he thinks about the useful stuff the cop should know. “He was on student council with myself, my girlfriend Taylor, and this other girl, Leia. He was the treasurer and was really good about making sure we didn’t go over budget? Otherwise we didn’t really hang out with him, cause he was one of those obnoxious frat boys.”

Did he have any enemies?

“I know Taylor’s best friend, Joey Ames, has never gotten along with him, but Joey couldn’t hurt a fly,” Avery tells them, resting his hands on the metal table in front of him, palms up. “Not... Physically, at least. But that’s unrelated to this, I think.”

Where were you on the night of October 22nd?

Avery has to lean his head back to think, trying to remember anything about the 22nd. “Taylor and Joey and I were hanging out at the party. We all danced a lot.”

We know you were at the same party Riley was that night. Did you see him there?

“Um.” Avery knows that to keep Joey from getting arrested, he had to tell this cop what they were doing, but the fear that it would get back to Taylor, that this would ruin their relationship, almost wouldn’t let him. “I knew, like, in the back of my mind that Riley was there, but. Um.” Avery’s face grows red. “I was too busy making out with my girlfriend’s best friend to really pay attention. Sorry. Can you not tell Taylor?”

Who was he with? What was he doing? Who did he talk to?

“I’m assuming he was with the rest of his frat brothers, enjoying the party. But like I said, Joey and I were busy.”

When did he leave? Did anyone else leave around that time?

“I was busy having a gay panic while trying not to blurt out to my girlfriend that I’d just made out with her best friend, so I pretended to be sick and we left pretty shortly afterwards. That was at like. 10-ish? I don’t know what time Riley left.”

Is there anything else you’d like to tell me?

“I’m sorry that I wasn’t of more help. Riley was really hard to work with when he was on student council with us.”

“ This is pretty accurate. I mean, I am a photography major and was raised in a antique store and so the creative archetype isn’t really a surprise.” Taylor said pleased with her results.” Plus I love being there for someone and making sure that they are okay. I think my archetypes are pretty spot on.”

“I like that it says I’m a good best friend! That’s really accurate, honestly. As for the intellectual and visionary, I think that comes with me wanting to go into law and being the class president!”
