Character No.1: George

I like making up people in my head. I often find that once I start writing, I can usually get to a pretty random place quite fast. So I've decided to start writing short character profiles and post them here. It's just a bit of fun and maybe I'll use some of them one day.


George is a young gentleman, George is about 5’7, he has a small white goatee and a shock of mauve hair that sprouts from his head like a turnip in a Feudal Field. He attends circus school where he is studying unicycling with a view to becoming a reviewer of unicycles on the television. George enjoys cool jazz and knitting tea cozies. Every morning at approximately 9.AM he ventures from his apartment located in 9th Boulevard and makes his way across the road to a large potato sculpture, he purchases a coffee from the street vendor located near by and climbs on top of the potato where he sips the coffee and basks in the sunlight. He will then venture from this spot down to a small patisserie three streets away. From here he purchases a lemon tart quarter and a potato scroll. He munches away on these tasty items as he saunters to the circus school, located just a few more streets away. As he walks through the door, licking the last few crumbs of potato from his lips, he hears the whistle of the Circus Teacher Steve’s lips pursing together, summoning his charges to another day beneath his thumb. George sighs, kicks his outside shoes off, pulls on his unicycling cleats, steeling himself for another hard day astride his one wheeled bike.
