Poster says a name, next post describes what they picture when they hear this name.

Looks, personality, age etc. Please don't be offended. I love it when my name comes up hilarious. 🤣

Christoph is in his late 20s. Slight build, but tall, piano fingers. He's pale with wispy brown hair. Not handsome, but just a bit plain looking. He wears glasses and is careful with his speech and movements. He's always been quiet and a bit antisocial. He's unsure of himself, works in archiving. Never quite had the confidence to have a girlfriend.

But one day he gets offered a job working with a boating company to catalogue their fishing in the arctic. He decides to go at the last minute and spends the next four years travelling the world as a zoology archivist.

He's always quiet, but he grows in confidence. He's no longer unsure of himself.

Wendy is as cute as a button. She is 22 and has perfect golden skin and a smattering of freckles. Her eyes are the sort of blue you don't really see any more and she has a pretty little upturned nose which gives her an impish air. She wears oversized dungarees and stripy t shirts and says things like " fiddlesticks!" When things go wrong.

Most people assume that Wendy is a children's entertainer or works in theatre but Wendy is actually an undertaker - one of the youngest in the country to be precise. She is fascinated by the rituals and processes that surround death and experiences a huge amount of satisfaction from being able to help people plan their loved ones' last journey.

Valentina is a dancer and gymnast.
She has long, thick black hair and olive skin.
She is very aware of her beauty and uses it to her advantage. She knows how to deal with men and unwanted attention but at the same time massages their egos expertly.

Astrid’s parents (Oriel and Raymond) are free spirits. Astrid was home schooled and is an only child. As soon as she got to 16 she enrolled in college and is studying English, History and Politics. She is very conventional unlike her parents and feels out of place in this world. She is really enjoying meeting new people and is planning to go to university 300 miles away from Brighton where she grew up.

Astrid is 80 and was a folk singer in the sixties and seventies. She still wears her grey hair long and with her high cheekbones and Slavic beauty it still looks glamorous rather than ageing. She couldn't really sing much back then but she looked amazing shaking a tambourine whilst wearing a long cheesecloth smock and it's surprising how far that and a pair of startling green eyes can take you.

She had a string of amours in her heyday including a well documented tryst with David Crosby and is most famous for a tempestuous marriage to the guitarist from a Californian Folk-Rock group who had a couple of hit singles in the 60s, mainly because they sounded a bit like The Byrds. He died of a heroin overdose in 1979 and Astrid has been a recluse ever since then, living in her mansion in Laurel Canyon with her 6 dogs, refusing requests for interviews and walking the canyon at night to watch the stars and think about her lost love.

Lucy is in her late thirties and impeccably well groomed with dark glossy hair and a dark gloss handbag. She never has a chip in her nail varnish or a smudge on her clothes. She works as a senior office manager in a large consultancy firm, and is engaged to one of the new partners, who is also immaculately turned out. Everyone likes them, but sometimes secretly wonder if they spend all their spare time hoovering each other

Angus is 50. He is very handsome but doesn’t really know it. He is 6’7 and absolutely adores his wife Kate who he married when he was 23.
Women think he’s amazing and flutter their eyelashes at him a lot but his head is never turned. He is friendly to them but everyone knows they don’t stand a chance - he is unwaveringly loyal to his family.

Lucy

Sheila is 70. However she looks and acts much younger (I mean in a fun loving way rather than immature). Life and soul of the party. Very glamorous in a put together way though not mutton dressed as lamb.
The type who would give her last penny but she’s also no walk over. Has a Heart of gold but try and rip it out God help you.

Her husband is called Ed. She’s been married since she was 18. She worked part time for her own sanity rather than needing the money as Ed is quite comfortable.
She’s now retired and works one day a week at a charity shop.
She has 2 sons and 1 daughter. They are all very close in age (her sons are over 6ft tall). Very close to mum and extremely protective. They won’t let the wind blow on her.

Her daughter is petite and more of a daddy’s girl.

However enjoys shopping trips with mum.
Her kids are called Alan David (Dave) and Pamela (Pam).
She was strict but fair and very loving mum.
She is stricter with Pam than she is with her boys.
However she’s an extremely easy going nan and often defends her grand kids if her kids tell them off.
Her grand kids have her wrapped around their little fingers. She’s a very hands on nan and it’s very rare to see her without at least one set of Grand kids.
She has 7 grandkids
2 from Alan girl and a boy.
3 grandkids from Dave (Boy girl Boy)
2 grandkids from Pam (2 boys)

SunShinesBrightly · 24/11/2021 10:09

Can I choose one?
Toby

Toby is 46. His name suited him when he was 7 but now that he works in banking doesn’t sit so well.
He lives Golf and spends most of his time on the Golf circuit avoiding spending any time with his family and young family.

Sheila

New name? 😊

Rachel is 49 and head of HR for a five star hotel in London. She spends a lot of her spare time socialising in swanky restaurants and bars. She has a huge appetite for champagne.

She owns a nice little terraced house in Peckham which she bought outright when she was 22 with the windfall inheritance her grandmother left her. She likes Peckham but it's really getting too young for her now with all the students floating around in their second hand cardigans.

Rachel is single, but is currently having a steamy affair with one of the sous chefs at the hotel. They meet for trysts in empty rooms in their lunch hours. It's going nowhere but it makes Rachel feel young again when he fumbles her out of her Reiss suit and pants unmentionable things into her hair.

Tracey is 51 and a Teaching Assistant at a SEN school. She is very outspoken, some say very irritating, but she's a great advocate for the kids in her class. She dyes her hair black at home and wears a lot of skinny black jeans which she looks great in as she's naturally skinny.

Rachel
