Kristi is prescribed skeletonsHey Kristi! So do you have any ideas right off the bat? It's interesting to have a guard curious about the mystery, given that it'd typically be a pretty menial job. Do you think they want to move to another position eventually, or is just observing from the outside as close as they prefer to be? Maybe just watching the mystery unfold is interesting enough for them, without having to be actually solving it themselves.

Hi, there! My guard is interested in mysteries being solved because he believes the closure that provides is important to the involved families. He likes things to go in a safe and orderly fashion, both for the lawful folks and the criminals in his charge. He's not one to joke about serious matters and has intense focus.

That's interesting, do you think he's done this kind of thing before? Supervising prisoners outside the jail, that is. It's an important job, letting the detectives and other professionals do their work safely, but you might catch some attitude from hotshots that think of you as a glorified mall cop. Does that annoy him at all?

Name: Gerald Silverman Age: 34 Ethnicity: African-American Looks Like: www.flickr.com/photos/38313689@N00/29721745293Gerald is an ex-con that was, in a naive attempt to help a struggling friend, charged with aiding and abetting a money launderer. He got out on good behavior and became a prison guard not long after. His mother doesn't appreciate the dangerous career choice and wishes her baby would join the family business, working at their grocery shop. Gerald is good friends with a prison psychologist named Ethan Small. Ethan theorizes that Gerald became a guard to take control of his past experiences as an inmate. When Gerald isn't on the clock he is an avid reader of non-fiction literature. He has a vintage matchbox car collection.

Does that annoy him at all? Gerald has been a guard for almost a decade, so probably has done a job like this before. Not much can get under his skin, or at least he thinks so.

This is great stuff Kristi! And dude is jacked, wow, hehe. Makes sense given the occupation. So Gerald is a Detroit native? If he's lived there his whole life, he's really gotten to see the degradation of the city in slow motion. People do their best to stay hopeful, and give others reason to be hopeful, but it seems like swaths of the city have to be abandoned as citizens retreat to the city center. Where does he live now? Does he live with anyone else?

I imagine my character is somewhat less buff than Oscar Figueroa, Olympic weightlifting gold medalist, but his face is right. Gerald lived with his family at city center for most of his life. He lives a bit further out now, in a small apartment that's closer to work.

So this will be a big job for you, with a lot of media attention. They're trying to play this outing as low-key as possible, but there will definitely be reporters buzzing around. Might be a big distraction. And this suspect, is he really a dangerous killer? He reportedly killed a police officer and kidnapped another to be tortured at a different location. Those cops were surely not as prepared as you'll be, but do you think you'd be intimidated at all?

Alright! Maybe we can work on his 'relations' next.
I'd like you to pick one neutral (0), one meaningful (+1), and one vital relationship (+2). They can be colleagues, friends, family or anything else. They don't have to be the people you've mentioned so far, but they can be.
Here's the guide from the book:
Neutral (0): Applies to most relations. Acquaintances, friends, coworkers, and others you don’t have much in common with.
Meaningful (1): Close friends, family members, romantic interests, beloved pets, personal mentor, guru.
Vital (2): Passionate lovers, your own children, the only friend you have left, your ‘true love,’ an obsession, your soulmate.
They also don't have to share the same level of relationship with you-- aka someone thinks you're better friends than you really are, and visa versa. If you don't think he'd have a 'vital' relationship, you can choose an additional 'meaningful' one.

Nice! That's about the style we're aiming for-- black on white.
OH! I wanted to sort out some stuff about his former criminal ways. I think in order to be a guard now, the crime will have to have been pretty long ago, and pretty minor. Maybe he got busted for pot when he was like 15 and got hassled about it pretty hard. Enough to give him some sympathy for convicts without wrecking his chances of getting a job in corrections.
