Yes, it's time to meet the second main character. Before we get to that though, here's where things are on the shaping of the story.
I've completed work on the main characters, having finally finalised the last of the six yesterday. I'm happy with the way they turned out and think they'll work together quite well. Everyone has a purpose in the story, which is of course of pivotal importance. I've started work on some other characters and know which elements from another story I'm going to put into this one (that's one of my 'things', putting characters or places from one story into another). I know some of the bigger scenes and essentially only have to figure out how to string them together without it all becoming too episodic.
I've also decided on the format I'm going to use for this story. I hope it'll bring some more uniqueness to the project, as the story itself is pretty bland. But hey, at least I'm not pretending not to know that!
Anyway, meet Shaun!
Name: Shaun

Hi, nice to meet you. I've got to say, it's a bit weird talking to someone after all these years on my own. I just hope I'll be able to remember my manners and speak eloquently enough not to upset you in any way.
You see, I've lived a pretty sheltered life these past few years. It's all because of this power, which I suppose is the very reason you've come to look for me. Well, I never knew it was something out of the ordinary. Not until I used it in the company of my parents, at least. They were very quick to let me know it wasn't a normal thing to do. In fact, it scared them so much, they had me psychologically analysed! The doctors all said I was imagining things, that these things didn't happen in the real world. Perhaps they were right, I'm still not sure what to believe. Fact is, I haven't been able to stop. My parents eventually had me committed into a clinic. I absolutely hated living there, but there was no way they were going to let me go. It took me five years, but I escaped the dreadful place. That's when I moved here, to be on my own. Now if you don't mind, I'd like to continue that life. I hope you've got all the information you wanted, but I warn you not to invade my privacy any longer. Goodbye.
TTFN.
