Okay, I have a list, about 30 ot so, of characters i have always wanted to see in a good story. However, i am not a good enought Writer. There are 5 stories: Accidental Chaos, Essence, Battlefield, Mettre and one other without a name yet. The lists are quite detailed, so if you want to see one, or all, just PM me. I would really like to see how others would write these stories.

I take a couple of issues with this.
First, ideas are a dime a dozen. Everyone has ideas. If you have the ideas, put the work into them to make them something tangible. Just letting something float around in your mind and then expecting someone else to do the work is a little presumptuous.
Second, if they are your characters that you have put so much work and love into, then why don't you create stories for them? They don't have to be particularly well-written, at first. First drafts are notoriously horrible. That being said, there is a process that we all must learn to create a good, solid plotline and then edit the unnecessary information once we have put it on paper.
Essentially, I am trying to tell you that if you want these characters to come to life, you're going to have to do it yourself. No one else is going to do as good a job as you probably will. You just have to put the time and the effort into it.

No no no... I have already written these stories. I just want to see how others will doo, given the same info i had in my head when i wrote them. I'm interested in the different perspectives of the stories. BTW, I didn't actually want them made into games, just stories. Sorry if that was confusing. Hope thatcleared things up.
