Okie dokie, this is looking like it will turn out to be an interesting character. First of all though, we need to know a bit more about Paul. His history, how he got his powers, an' such. If you want to, you can just go here and fill out the survey Laz has so kindly created. We're also gonna want a leeeeettle bit more detail on the strengths and weaknesses. Get those two things done and we'll be looking a lot better. LAville needs all the help it can get.

Good. Now, just put that information into a paragraph form and he'll be right to go. Basically, take the information you've put in the questionnaire, and turn it into Paul's life story. For example, assuming I had a character named John Smith:
John smith was born in 1982 to Jack Smith, a carpenter who owned his own business, and Jenna Smith, his wife. When he was very small, he fell into a vat of burning wood shavings which just happened to have uranium embedded in them, and John gained the ability to turn himself into a pile of wood shavings whenever he wanted. John is about 5'2", and likes gambling and archery . . . etc. etc. Hopefully you get the idea. Once you get that done satisfactorily, he'll be all set.

Assume that we know nothing at all about your character. In a paragraph or more, I want you to tell me, who is Paul Norris? Imagine you were to write a book about Paul's life, and you want us to know the synopsis of said book, what would you tell us? It's detail we're looking for; we really want to know all that you currently know about Paul.

So, this time, see if you can't take just a tad more time, grab all of that useful information that you put into the resume, and form a couple of paragraphs out of it. There's enough there for you to make a substantial biography explaining to us who Paul really is. That would be perfect.

Paul Norris by Yzzi

Paul Norris born January first nineteen eighty-eight is eighteen six feet tall one hundred and fifty pounds enjoys riding his motorcycle
and listening to hard rock music preferably not dirty he also enjoys Mexican food and working on engines he has recently started attending LAville University with his wife Samantha Smith Norris.
At the age of ten Paul accidentally fell into a boiling vat of metal mixed with acid and thus gained the ability to transform metal from a liquid to a solid state instantly which also gives him the ability to change the shape into anything he knows how.
At the age of fifteen Paul studied the inner workings of locks and guns so he could transform metal into locks and guns and bullets unfortunately he cant make bullets out of metal without gunpowder.
At the age of eighteen Paul bought his first motorcycle (see picture) a dodge tomahawk.
And later that year enrolled in his first college courses at LAville University thus starting his endless adventures of college
