Character Missions
Change how we do character descriptions? Possibly assign them "roles" or a "driving mission" - a single, simple characteristic that defines them and their overall motivations.
Examples:
Agnes is driven by a desire for things to get back to normal.
Max is driven by the need to find the truth.
Dr. Clark is driven by the need to find a cure.
Wade is driven by the need to survive.
This MAY cut down on people assigning the wrong line to characters.
Jennifer Long
Jennifer is a practicing Christian and believes strongly that the Lord will save humanity from the zombie outbreak, which she regards not as judgment or punishment, but as a part of God's overall plan. Her faith sustains her and she will make frequent references to it in each episode she appears in, especially if she is the primary speaking character.
Writer's Note - Jennifer Long's religion is intended to bring a different perspective to the overall situation. It is not unheard of for religion to be a part of zombie mythology, what with the dead rising from their graves and all. It is imperitive, however, that Jennifer's character be treated with respect. She is NOT a parody, she is not given to crackpot theories, she does not cast judgment on those who disagree with her, she isn't self-righteous, and she doesn't preach or proselytize. She is a regular person who happens to have strong beliefs and she respects others who have strong beliefs that differ from hers. Every writer who contributes to the project is welcome and encouraged to write for Jennifer, but episodes with her character are going to be under greater scrutiny to ensure that these guidelines are followed.
