The cast of characters and outline are working document. I am using them to help solidify the structure of this piece. You probably should start with chapter 0, or perhaps with the introduction-if you like reading writing about writing.
I have a database of the characters and their different scenes. hope to minimize the number of inconsistencies of the work.
This character list and time line is largely for my own use. I want to make sure I spell the names the same throughout the story. You will find the presentation of the characters within the story far more interesting.
| Character | Description |
|---|---|
| Alma Matterson | The protagonist - A peach colored icon with a tuft of red hair. |
| Peter Matterson (1) | The ideal father - generated by KwalityTime™ |
| Peter Matterson (2) | Alma's biological father. (This guy is a real loser. You might want to skip over everything we say about him. Number 1 is a lot better. Of course you miss third of the book.) |
| KwalityTime™ | A software company that makes family enhancement software. The time you spend together should be KwalityTime™. |
| Rev. Hardin Thomas | The project manager for the Kwality Time integrated program. |
| Esperante Matterson (1) | The perfect soccer mom. The ideal homemaker. You know she will always be there for you, as she navigates the burbs in her ATV. Shuffling people between a successful career and successful family. |
| Esperante ?? (2) | Alma's biological mother. She did a few pathetic things. Got pregnant. Died a few years later. Mother (1) is the perfect mom. Mom two is the quintessential let down. She never even got to drive a SUV. She did have a bus ticket once -- a long time ago, and there was almost a full moment of hope. |
| Tad Black | A cream colored icon with black hair -- Alma's friend. |
| Martin White | A beige icon with brown hair -- Another friend |
| Johnny May | The golden bronze icon with flowing blonde hair. The football hero, track star (please don't look behind the curtain.) |
| Mary Evans | A vision a beauty? a tom boy? Someone who is a bit clumbsy while trying to find her role? Perhaps somebody real? The final member of Alma's click. |
| Mark Shortlift | A salutatorian from KT who has conquered, and well is currently locked in a janitor's closet. |
| Darvin Carter | A programmer at KT. |
