Title: Helpless
Characters: Scully, the Lone Gunmen
For: agentdanak
"Mulder?" Langly asked.
She rolled her eyes. Had to be Mulder, then.
"Of course we’ll help."
"I don’t know where I am, where it’s going. You won’t tell him, will you?" They exchanged discrete glances, secretly flattered that she’d singled them out for relationship advice. Finally.
"You get to a certain level and it just seems futile." Frohike noted the lock of hair she pushed out of frustrated eyes, Byers the shadowed valley below, and all three wondered why Mulder hadn’t made his move. Her husky voice dropped even lower and they leaned forward.
"Help me beat Doom," she breathed.

the Daroga/Perisan
The first things was his absence in the musicals/movies. That piqued my interest in a purely, "hey that's not fair!" way. And then it grew.
b. One of his/her best traits
His sense of fairness, divorced from blind law-following.
c. One of his/her worst traits
Toss up between his arrogance in appointing himself anyone's conscience, and his tendency to negate self in favor of his quest.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character
Not too difficult, but I do have to constantly think about writing from the perspective of another culture; even if I don't really consider the Persian's Persia to be much related to the real one.
e. The story/chapter/paragraph/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character
I think this snippit, which I never finished nor found a place for, was a good start. My favorite Persian is somewhat sad and misplaced.
f. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future
I would love to. I don't know if I have it in me right now. But I think about him a lot.

The Ratcatcher
I "like" any neglected character enough to write about him/her; that neglect is frequently my prompt.
b. One of his/her best traits
He's good at his job.
c. One of his/her worst traits
He seems to lack curiosity; though that's probably self-preservation.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character
That story wasn't difficult, because I was working towards a specific end/effect. I did question my impulse to have him speak in dialect; I tried to keep it non-specific, but I don't know if I did.
e. The story/chapter/paragraph/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character
"So these are the things I can’t explain; I think it might be healthiest for me if I don’t try to. But this opera does crazy things to folks, and I can’t help but be grateful I wasn’t raised to it. Seems not one of ‘em can go about their life quiet-like, without any fuss, like I do. They can have it, I say. Least I’ve got my rats."
f. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future
I don't have any; but I'll happily include him when/if it's appropriate!
