Hi There,
I have a low budget, but fun project. I am looking for someone to create some character profiles for a role playing group. They will need to be in correct and fluent English.
The plot is:
We aren't elite or prestigious. We don't sip cocktails by the pool, have trust funds, gorgeous partners and wonder what ivy league school we should attend. We are from the other side of the tracks. We worry about how to pay the rent, put food on the table and survive high school. We aren't models, executives or from important families. We are the lost, the geeks, the rejects, the losers, the wrong, the freaks, the hopeless all just fighting for the future. We might not be as glamorous, but this our story. This is how the rest of us live.
The job requires 5 connected character profiles each with a history, personality and connection section such as:
Kellie Markham has always loved food. It was something she and her grandmother had in common. As far back as she can remember she was standing on a chair at the bench helping her grandmother make cookies, pies and other baked treats. As she grew older her love for baking intensified and she would rush home from school to bake with her grandmother, coming up with her own recipes.
Losing her grandmother at the age of 13 sent Kellie into a spin. Her addiction to food got worse and she would stay up into the wee hours of the morning baking and eating. Her weight soared. She eventually moved through the loss, but continued baking coming up with a recipe a week at least. As she started highschool she was the heaviest she had ever been. Though the weight didnt bother her, she knew it was what was inside that counted, it made her the target for others. School became a nightmare, her self confidence tumbled and she turned to her baking even more.
It wasn’t until she started a baking blog a year ago that things started to look up a little. People online actually liked and responded to her recipes. They didn’t care what she weighed or how she looked, they liked what she contributed to them. The confidence hit wasn’t life changing, but she wasn’t as afraid anymore, because after the bullies were done making her life a misery she could come home and be cutesycupcake, the girl with the amazing recipes who loved making them.
Personality
Kellie isn’t too out there, but when you actually spend the time to get to know Kellie you find an intelligent girl with a great sense of humor and somewhat bubbly personality. Really passionate, she can go on about baking and cooking for hours and can often dominate the conversations with it, though it is unintentional. Quite guarded it can take a while for you to get to know her, not because she is snobby, but she likes to surround herself with those that are worth her time and positive. She may only have a few close friends, but it’s quality over quantity isn’t it?

I currently have 10 profiles that someone else wrote. The idea is there, but they need to be rewritten and made more believable, cohesive and interesting. You will be able to put your own spin on them or come up With another idea entirely. They need to be 400-500 words each. The price is $10 for 5. I need them ASAP. I will be hiring 2 freelancers to do 5 each as I need them so quickly. Unfortunately the price is not negotiable, so if you can't do 5 for $10 please do not bother bidding as I can not stretch as the project is already over budget.
I am hoping to award within the next hour if I find suitable bidders. I will need to have a quick discussion with you and see a sample of your English before I award.
Thanks for looking at my opportunity,
Holly
Hi there,
I've rewritten the sample you included in your proposal as a sample of my own work, but I realize not I can't include it all here. If you would like to see the rest of the enhancements I've made, I would be happy to email it to you and do all 10 character profiles. I have several years of theater experience, and I understand what is needed for this particular project. I have time tonight and tomorrow and would be able to get them to you by tomorrow afternoon. If the ten characters are all related, it might be easier if they are written by the same person, for cohesion and commonality. But I completely understand if you'd rather have them by two different writers. Thank you so much for the opportunity.

Kellie Markham's love affair with food started in her grandmother's kitchen. After her grandmother died, 13 year old Kellie turned to her grandmother's cookbook in an attempt to recreate the memories of those early days. She remembered the smell of freshly baked cookies, pies cooling in the window, and warm homemade bread at dinner. She remembered rushing home from school to find the old cookbook on the counter opened to a new recipe to try, a new challenge to test her skills.
The years following the loss of her grandmother found Kellie depressed and turning to food for comfort. Her near-obsession with recreating and perfecting her grandmother's recipes began to show until Kellie, once a petite and athletic girl was now over 300 pounds. [...]

I like this project. I started out as a creative writer before shifting to more news-y style so this is something that's up my wheelhouse. I think it'll be really interesting to create character profiles and participate in the story in some way.
Hi Holly,
I am extremely interested in helping you out with your project.
For the past three years I have dozens of half-written, unfinished short stories with characters just crying out to be put into the right setting. I feel that characterisation is a strong-point of mine, more so than settings and knitting things together. As a result I feel that I can take the characters you already have and develop them to give them something unique - quirky perhaps, but altogether compelling.
Please let me know if you are interested in working with me - I am happy to work within the budget set and will be able to return it to you within the next 36 hours at the very latest.
I hope to hear from you soon,
Kind regards,
John
Hello,
I write characters every day, and have pages and pages of profiles for my own personal work. It comes from observing real people in real life situations. I have always been an introvert, so instead of being the outgoing one carrying the conversation I would quietly analyze everyone I saw, wondering about their tendencies and motivations for what they do. Simply put... People fascinate me, and I love to compile all the personalities, quirks, and layers into a unique character who has life in a story somewhere in this world. I'm very creative, and can promise you interesting and deep characters that you won't find anywhere else. I take pride in going beyond stereotypes to make my characters as unpredictable and genuine as real people. Though I don't have professional work under my name, I'd be happy to show you some samples of personal work. I'll take an innovative and unique approach on this project using my creativity and your guidelines. I also am entirely okay with any budget you have, because this really is my passion. Even if it wasn't for a job, I would do similar things for my own fun because characters are my absolute favorite thing to write.
