What I have in mind right now is about a college-based theater group (or whatever you call those). They're not all theater majors, some of them just do this as a hobby of sorts. I was planning for it to be more like a series of shorter stories, each focusing on one or two characters at a time, revealing a little something about them and how they relate to the other characters.
And speaking of characters...
This is Arthur. He wasn't really that much into acting, until his roommate Ben convinced him to audition for a part in a play. After that, he thought it seemed enjoyable enough that he decided he'd join in the theater group, just for fun. He's a little unpredictable, partly because he sometimes acts like a raving lunatic, partly because all of a sudden he can become unusually silent. But he's a lively sort of person, most of the time.
This is Benjamin, Arthur's roommate. Just call him Ben. He's one of the characters who are actually planning to pursue an acting career. The more serious of the two, but tends to wax poetic when he's feeling that emotional. Once he has a goal in mind, he's more than ready to do whatever it takes to get things done. The downside is, he tends to keep going even if what he's doing has already proved to be pointless.
I have more characters in mind, but I'll leave that for later. Besides, I want to see if my idea for a comic could actually work before putting too much effort into designing the characters.
Well. What do you think?
