No, I'm not leaving. That is the title of an upcoming original story I'm working on. Here is the plot: In 1874, in France, there lived a rich young man named Michel Clairmont, who lived in a mansion in the countryside with his wife Clarisse. But one night, he was accidentally murdered by his best friend, Emile Enfant. Grief-stricken by this, Emile killed himself. No one dared step foot in the mansion after that.

In 2009, an American boy named Never Wright moves into the old Clairmont mansion and discovers a zombie in his basement named Michel. Things go downhill from there on in.

I took this meme from about original characters to help you get a better feel for the characters who will be in Adieu.

1.What is your character's name?
Michel Clairmont- once a rich young French noble, now a somewhat confused zombie just learning English
Emile Enfant- Michel's best friend, a fellow zombie now, a fairly optimistic fellow despite all things
Never Wright- a somewhat naive, easily confused American boy who moves to France
Danielle Riley- A determined necromancer and former classmate of Never's.
Raal- a tall demon summoned by Danielle. He's endowed with great strength, but not necessarily great intelligence.
(These are going to be the main characters.)

2. What is your character's name in another language?
Michel: Michael...his name is the French version of this name.
Emile: Umm....Emily? Dunno.
Never: ....? Nunca? His name's pretty unique.
Danielle: Umm....Daniel? Ariella? Danell? Ummm...
Raal: NOTHING. His name isn't exactly human, anyways.

3. How old is he/she?
Michel: 27 (at death)
Emile: 26 (at death)
Never: 19
Danielle: 22
Raal: Unknown, but he claims to be very young for a demon.


4. What is your character's race/species?
Michel: Human. Currently a walking undead. Never simply calls him a zombie.
Emile: Also a human zombie.
Never: Human
Danielle: Human
Raal: Demon. The kind of demon he is...he hasn't revealed yet.

5. Do they have a crush?
Michel: Not really.
Emile: Yep. *points to name above*
Never: He's had a few throughout his life, but he doesn't have any at current.
Danielle: Not currently, but she may have had a crush on Never at one point.
Raal: Raal likes Never. This confuses Never, but then again....everything seems to confuse him.

6. Do they have many friends?
Michel: He used to keep to himself, mostly...it was a miracle he became friends with Emile at the time.
Emile: Mostly just Michel. But he, like Michel, now considers Never a friend.
Never: Mostly just school friends. You know, the sort you hang out with and goof off with but can't actually trust in your time of need.
Danielle: Danielle was popular in school, and she had a clique. But no real friends. Her strong will and determined nature in things that most people find creepy kind of tended to drive off potential friends AND boyfriends.
Raal: In the demon world, yes, actually. He's also good with human children, inexplicably.

7. What planet is your character from?
Except for Raal, they're all from Earth. But Raal's not really an alien...the demon world is simply on a different plane of existance.

8. Does your character like to eat?
Michel: He prefers wine and a nice roll or salad, actually.
Emile: Emile likes sweet things.
Never: He likes junk food way too much for his own good.
Danielle: Danielle prefers herbs and vegetables...she's not on a 'health kick', it's simply how she eats.
Raal: Raal likes meat and fruits.

9. What's his/her favorite food?
Michel: Just give him a fresh baked loaf of bread and he'll be pretty happy, actually.
Emile: He's discovered truffles, so he likes those. Especially FUDGE.
Never: Pringles and Pizza. XD
Danielle: Apples. She does like these.
Raal: Rabbit or strawberries.

10. What's his/her favorite drink?
Michel: Wine, that's his favorite. Failing that, water.
Emile: Milk (...Seriously. He's discovered differently flavored milk, and he likes Strawberry milk now.)
Never: Dr. Pepper or Fanta. (Any kind.)
Danielle: Fruit juice.
Raal: Energy drinks....(it doesn't effect him as much as it does humans.)

11. Is your character annoying?
Michel: Nope.
Emile: Sometimes his attempts to prove his bond to Michel is annoying. Sometimes.
Never: Sometimes.
Danielle: She seems to think she's the villain, so...yeah, a bit.
Raal: No, he's adorable.

13. Is your character loved?
Michel: By Emile, and he used to have a wife. And Never currently loves him in the platonic sense.
Emile: Sort of by Michel, and Danielle likes him as a servant, and maybe some platonic love from Never but...
Never: His family sort of still loves him. It's mostly obligatory family-love, but it's there.
Danielle: Umm....not really. Raal loves her like a little sister, though. But it's hard to tell if that's real or if it's simply because she's his master.
Raal: It's hard to tell. Not many people are sure what to make of him.

14. Is your character hated?
Michel: Nope. Never's often annoyed with him, but he never hates Michel.
Emile: Clarisse hated Emile a bit when he accidentally killed Michel, but that was years before and Clarisse is dead now.
Never: Umm.....a few points in time, his brother greatly disliked him. His sister, too, but...y'know.
Danielle: YES. I don't really have much else to say.
Raal: .....No.

15. Is she/he emo/goth?
Michel: He could be, since he's dead. But he's not.
Emile: Again, he could be since he's dead and he killed himself. But he's not. He knows where Michel is again! He's happy!
Never: Confused and annoyed, but no.
Danielle: No...if anything, her style borders on the side of Asian-influenced.
Raal: GOD, NO.

16. Is she/he straight, bisexual, or gay?
Michel: Straight, but somewhat bi-curious.
Emile: Gay.
Never: He claims to be bisexual, but he's young and is kind of naive. He hasn't actually looked at guys so far, and probably only says that to keep his options open.
Danielle: Straight.
Raal: IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE.

17. Is she/he a virgin?
Michel: Nope. He was married happily to a beautiful and rather healthy woman. >.> With a healthy sex drive.
Emile: Technically, no. This is how he discovered he doesn't like women.
Never: Yes. People tease him about this.
Danielle: No, actually.
Raal: IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE.

18. Name 3 hobbies...
Michel: Reading, writing, and cleaning actually.
Emile: Playing sports, exploring, and hanging out with Michel.
Never: Computer games, video games, and watching TV. (He has, naturally, moved some of these things into the Clairmont mansion.)
Danielle: Gardening, reading, and magic.
Raal: IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE. (Really, who really knows? )

19. Is your character normal?
Michel: Fairly, despite being a zombie.
Emile: Somewhat.
Never: Um...compare to other characters, pretty much.
Danielle: She's a necromancer. No.
Raal: He's a demon, but uh....sorta.

20. Is your character attractive?
Michel: Sure...he's really pale now, but he's pretty good-looking still.
Emile: Sort of...he's got nice blonde hair still at least.
Never: He thinks he is at least.
Danielle: Yes. And she knows she is.
Raal: Sure, pretty much. For being a giant skinny demon you can't really see the eyes of. (He covers them with his hair.)

21. How does your character handle emotions?
Michel: He tries to remain calm most times, so he can handle them pretty well.
Emile: They show on his face no matter what.
Never: He shows them easily, but could hide them just as easily if he tried. He doesn't try.
Danielle: She tries not to show them, but she doesn't handle anger that well.
Raal: It's pretty much impossible to determine his emotions unless he's happy (which is the only emotion he shows honestly) so I guess he's really good at handling them.

22. Does your character have other forms?
Michel: His skin looked a lot better when he was alive. Does that count?
Emile: Again, he looked slightly different when he was alive. Does it count?
Never: You could say that when he didn't dye the top of his hair blue, it's a different form, maybe.
Danielle: She has spells that can do that, but she doesn't like them.
Raal: Yes. He has a more animalistic bestial demon form used for pure combat. But he doesn't often need that.

23. Does your character overreact?
Michel: No, not really.
Emile: Yes. He gets emotional easily.
Never: On occasion, just like any other person would. It depends.
Danielle: When you give her bad news.
Raal: No. But then again, it's hard to tell with him.

24. Is your character a criminal?
Michel: No, he was a noble!
Emile: No, not really. He spent some time at a sea-side rest home while trying to figure out his feelings for Michel, but other than that, no.
Never: His brother got arrested when he was a teenager, but Never? No.
Danielle: Nope. She does some decidedly illegal things, but no, not really.
Raal: He's a demon. He mentions from time to time, he may have interacted somewhat with a military-like group in the demon world.

25. Does your character go to school?
Michel: No.
Emile: Nuh-uh.
Never: At first, he was planning to simply travel to the community college in town only half an hour from the mansion but with all the excitement going on, he's trying to arrange getting into some online classes instead.
Danielle: She has online classes.
Raal: He's a demon.

26. What's his/her IQ?
Michel: Pretty high.
Emile: Not nearly as high as Michel's.
Never: You'd think it'd be low, but he's actually pretty smart. He just severely lacks foresight.
Danielle: She's pretty smart, but she doesn't always think things through.
Raal: Not that high. Not retarded low, but still not that high.

27. Does your character have a disease/curse?
Michel: He's currently undead.That's...kind of a curse.
Emile: Like Michel, he's undead.
Never: Nope. He's perfectly healthy, and he doesn't have any curses. Despite what he thinks.
Danielle: No.
Raal: None of either of the two.

28. Is your character dead?
Michel: Yes. Emile accidentally poisoned him.
Emile: Yeah...he killed himself in 1874. I told you at the top of the page, remember?
Never: No.
Danielle: Never may really wish she was, but she isn't.
Raal: Nope.

29. Does your character have a family?
Michel: He used to have a wife, but she's dead.
Emile: He used to be one of six kids. He's not sure of the family now...or any of their descendants. They probably wouldn't believe him if he told them anyways.
Never: Mother, Father, older brother, older sister.
Danielle: She has a mother and a younger sister. She doesn't mention the sister too often, for some strange reason.
Raal: IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE.

30. Has he/she encountered any tragic times in life?
Michel: He died.
Emile: He killed his best friend/love object, and then committed suicide.
Never: Umm....Danielle tries to kill him?
Danielle: I can't tell you, for spoilers, but it involves that younger sister she doesn't like to talk about.
Raal: IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE.

31. What's the best time in your character's life?
Michel: Marrying his wife Clarisse.
Emile: Finding Michel again.
Never: Ummm...finding a zombie in the basement of his new house?
Danielle: When her baby sister was born.
Raal: IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE. Possibly meeting Never.

32. If you could name 1 friend, which would you relate to your character?
Michel: No one.
Emile: His personality is somewhat like my friend from middle school, Ariel's, but that's mostly unintentional. I only realized it just now.
Never: No one...
Danielle: Fortunately, no one.
Raal: Yeah....nope. No one.

33. Is your character single?
Michel: He used to have a wife, but that was in 1874, so I guess he's kind of a widow now. Or is he? He's the one that died...um...
Emile: Single, but he's focused on Michel.
Never: Single, and he TRIES to look but the only girl who wants to hang around him is Danielle and she tries to kill him.
Danielle: Single, not looking.
Raal: Single. One would assume.

34. Has he/she developed any relationships?
Michel: He's starting to understand Emile's love for him. He's also friends with Never now.
Emile: Friends with Never, in love with Michel. (There's no spoiler for telling you that, really.)
Never: Friends with Michel and Emile, somewhat friends with Raal which confuses him. Danielle is, like...his rival. Which he thinks is cool.
Danielle: Rival of Never, boss/master of Raal and Emile.
Raal: Raal likes Never.

35. Does he/she have an element?
Michel: If I had to assign him one, then I guess it'd have to be....water.
Emile: Lightning, maybe...?
Never: Light.I bet.
Danielle: Fire. Definitely.
Raal: I'd say dark, but that doesn't quite fit him. Maybe he's wind or earth...

36. Do you role-play your character?
Not really. Their characters are still in development.

37. Do you write about your character?
Umm...YES. They're from my story, Adieu.

38. Does your character have a bad temper at times?
Michel: He does, but it takes a lot for you to see it. Like him DYING. Emile's seen it.
Emile: Yes, but it's a somewhat childish one.
Never: Believe it or not, he's rather even tempered. Though he can have a childish temper, too.
Danielle: YES. She is FIERY like a HABANERO! That is how bad her temper is.
Raal: Ummm....IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE.

39. Does your character get depressed?
Michel: On occasion, he gets somewhat depressed about his death, but it's more regret than depression.
Emile: Yeah, on occasion. He's got some mighty guilt.
Never: From time to time, just like any normal person.
Danielle: Yes. She won't let you see it, though.
Raal: Maybe? Impossible to determine.

40. What's your characters favorite animal?
Michel: Rabbits.
Emile: Dogs.
Never: Never likes just about all sorts of animals.As long as it's not about to eat him.
Danielle: Danielle doesn't like animals. She REALLY doesn't.
Raal: Little fluffy kittens. Maybe.

41. Does your character have any fears?
Michel: It's hard to say about Michel. Probably just the usual fears a person might have...
Emile: Losing Michel forever.
Never: Normal things. Dying, getting crippled, he doesn't like getting sick...
Danielle: Those are spoilers.
Raal: IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE.

42. Does your character have any weaknesses?
Michel: He's a nice guy. That's kind of a weakness. But, uh...Emile and Never are major weaknesses.
Emile: Michel. Michel. And Never, prob'ly...they're friends now. Also, he's kinda stupid.
Never: He's....well, he lacks foresight. He severely lacks foresight.
Danielle: Her temper. Also that *SPOILER*
Raal: Never. Raal's not that smart. And Never.

43. Does your character look up to anyone?
Michel: Perhaps his father at one point.
Emile: Michel.
Never: People who don't exist. The ones in video games.
Danielle: Herself.
Raal: Never. Never doesn't understand that.

44. Does your character like music?
Michel: He likes classical music.
Emile: Some of it. He listens to the radio, mostly.
Never: Yup, of course.
Danielle: Umm...it's hard to say.
Raal: That's even harder to say.

45. What's your character's favorite type of music?
Michel: Classical.
Emile: Whatever's on.
Never: Pop and techno.
Danielle: I don't know.
Raal: IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE.

46. Is he/she impatient?
Michel: No, he's actually very patient.
Emile: Somewhat.
Never: It depends on what he's waiting for, much like any other person.
Danielle: YES.
Raal: He's really patient, so no.

47. What's something funny about your character?
Michel: Funny? I don't think there's much that's funny about him. He speaks only half in English?
Emile: He panics easily.
Never: He moved to France without knowing any French. XD Never, I know you lack foresight, but there's a limit!
Danielle: Umm.....dunno.
Raal: He has a tail that he hides most of the time. He doesn't understand why everyone's so disgusted when he complains about 'hiding the damn thing in his pants all day'.....XD Raal!

48. Name 5 nicknames
Michel: Never often mistakenly calls him Michelle, but that's understandable. For simplicity, he tries to introduce himself as Michael to some people who make the same mistake as Never.
Emile: Em, Emmy, Emily, Zom-boy 2 (one of Never's first nicknames for him before he learns his name, Emily's the second) and Mee.
Never: Nev, idiot boy, idiot, fool, and...um...yeah. Never's a pretty simple name.
Danielle: Danny, Dan, Lady Danielle.
Raal: Rail, Wall, Raa (All are mispronunciations made by Never. Raal is pronounced raw-ll by the way.)

49. Does your character curse?
Michel: On occasion, but only when need be.
Emile: He tries not to, but it slips out occasionally.
Never: Yes. Not like a sailor, but he does it.
Danielle: From time to time.
Raal: A little.

50. This test is over, what does your character have to say?
Michel: L'anglais est difficile...
Emile:Vous pouvez dire que de nouveau, mon cher ami.
Never: You guys should speak some goddamn ENGLISH! I'll teach you myself, if I have to!
Danielle: Maybe you should just learn French, idiot. You live in France now, anyways.
Raal:*not listening, hugs Never* (Never: ACK! TOO TIGHT TOO TIGHT! )

So that's the characters of Adieu. I have pictures of the characters already drawn up. I just need to finish coloring them in....then I'll put them up for you to see.What I can tell you right now, though, is the order of heights.

The order is as follows: Emile, Danielle, Never, Michel, Raal
The HEIGHTS are as follows: 5' 3", 5'6", 5' 9", 6', 6'8"

I'm still figuring out birthdays and such, but I can tell you that Michel was born in 1847, and Emile was born in 1848. Clearly, Danielle was born in 1987 and Never in 1990, but their exact birthdays haven't been decided yet. (Raal is basically impossible to determine, but I can have Raal choose his own, maybe. I'll figure it out later.)
So, with those years, here are their Eastern zodiac animals;
Michel: Monkey
Emile: Sheep
Never: Horse
Danielle: Rabbit

Except for Michel and Danielle's they fit. Michel's more like an Ox, and Danielle's more like a Dragon, but Never's and Emile's match.
