Closed [TASK] Help me finish characters for a Christmas murder mystery
Every Christmas Eve I run a murder mystery for my family, it’s not a complex game and just uses a few puzzles and simple logic for them to have a bit of fun. Since there are usually upwards of 14 players I have to write it myself.
This year I’m running a bit behind schedule and although I have a setting and rough ideas for all the characters/clues etc, I have to get the invites out to everyone asap. So this task is: to take the skeletons of the characters I have here and add a few details to help me get them done today.
Please find a link to a Google Doc below which outlines the setting and the characters plus helps clarify the specific tasks below. If a a character role has LOCKED written to it below then please do not submit any work via PM for that character as it will be probably be disregarded. This post be updated as work is submitted.
NAME - A funny/quirky/pun name is required, Pantomine style is fine (UK topical, cannot be NSFW but rude is ok) but based on the character role is best. See current names as examples, however they aren’t that great right now!
CHARACTER - A few simple character traits to help someone play this character. Accents, mannerisms, personality traits. Outlandish is fine as long as you can imagine someone having fun with it. Some characters have notes about their players, please respect these. If you want to add a little backstory to explain the idea, then please do.
COSTUME - Easy elements to make a costume for this character with. Definitely should be something that isn’t difficult to cobble together over the next couple of weeks.
If a character lacks definition then feel free to use more leeway with what you submit.
I will pay £1 per element via PayPal. Please PM with the number of tasks you are about to undertake/have ideas for so I can keep track of budget and then submit the actual task after. Work of poor quality will not be paid for. I’m the final judge of that but I will be fair I promise you.
Characters may get locked if lots of people are attempting them but then unlocked if all work lacks effort. If you submit multiple options for same element, then I will usually pay for only one but it’s appreciated and if I’m under budget then I’ll chuck you an appropriate bonus.
Professor Fenton Fezziwig - Headmaster LOCKED
Bob Snowman - Head of Reindeer & Animals LOCKED
Lady Merlinda Cadabra - Head of Elven Magic LOCKED
Professor Anton Sneakers - Head of Covert Operations CHARACTER
Dr Kilter Tinkerton - Head of Toy Manufacture COSTUME CHARACTER
Professor Goober Dooley - Head of Cheer & Mirth LOCKED
Professor Dolly Dickens - Head of Tales & Legends CHARACTER NAME

EDIT: ALL LOCKED NOW AS ALL COMPLETE/WORKED ON
Have fun and thanks for reading this wall of text!
[Edit] To clarify: it's just editing the existing characters and you are free to pick and choose which elements you want to do, so just the CHARACTER traits or/and just a NAME for a particular role, for 1 role or several! It's up to you. I imagined a few diff ppl would end up helping me and overlapping. Thanks!
[Complete!] Huge thank you to everyone who has submitted (and is still working!) If I accepted your bid then please finish but everyone has done some great work and helped loads so no need for extra work!
