Hmm, characters eh? Well, all in all they are based on my friends or other people I know. I don't know if this is wise, as it does cuase problems when it comes to killing them off, and I won't be able to say at the front of the book " the characters in this book bear no resemblence to real people living or dead, and any likeness there of is purely coincidental" - but even if I try not to they still end up like my friends.
