characters i created

i usually write 1-2 screenplays a week to send to hollywood, so i'm constantly coming up with new and interesting characters. here are a few that i'm working on. some don't need much explanation. also, they are all patent pending, so don't even think about trying to steal them!

Red Periwinkle - This guy is a pretty tough cowboy, but he is constantly being made fun of because of his name. Interestingly, he does not know that periwinkle is a color, so he does not understand the jokes. He once punched a man to death.

Jed Hardnose "The intellectual carnival worker" - Jed was putting himself through college, but times were tough and he had to join the carnival. He is much smarter than everyone else working there, but he still makes 5 dollars an hour and lives in a pickup truck. When he isn't shoddily putting together ferris wheels, he likes to read poetry and get beer bottles thrown at him by his co-workers.

Honeypot, "the effeminate homeless man" - No one knows why he is called Honeypot, though there are theories. The one thing everyone does know - Honeypot is a bitch. He always cleans the steam grates before sleeping on them, and whines when he has to stick his hand in the garbage to get a bite to eat. He also won't accept any money under a dollar- "on principle".

Zippers, "the horse that does not like to be ridden"

Joey "Zuba" Papacasio - Joey just moved from Staten Island to Connecticut and is taking speech lessons to lose his horrible accent and fit in more with his new neighbors. He does not yet realize that until he stops wearing Zuba pants everyday, he will never fit in.

Leslie Jarginson, "private detective who always has food in her teeth"

Chet Potamkin "the indifferent racist" - Chet just started going to KKK meetings, but "isnt sure about the whole thing". He's not a fan of black people but says, "some mexicans are ok i guess".
