Eheh, naming them all may take a while...

Rain Deau
Konan Ourin
Nim Lenshi
Tirian (Doesn't have a last name)
Kirin (Doesn't have a last name)
Maen Kientz
Cin (doesn't have a last name)

1) Rain's name came to me when I lost a close friend... It's translated from french into "Rain of Water", which, it rained when I found out he died in a crash.
Konan's name was made when I discovered my furry side, meaning "Wolf lover" from Japanese.
Nim's name is one of those "Hey I think this would make a good name for a character" kind of names..
Tirian's name is an extreme twist on "Titanic".
Kirin is a play on "Kitsune", making it a bit more human but resembling the original word still.
Maen's last name is my best friend's last name.
Cin is pronounced "Sin". And that's what he is. One giant sin.

2) All of my characters are projections of my own feelings, mostly towards myself, but also others.

Rain represents my faults, the little quirks I have and lots of my depression. He keeps everything bottled up inside, only showing the caring and mature part that I wish I, myself could show others. Rain is by far my deepest character, and my first. He also has the part of me that reflects upon himself, thinking and pondering every moment he gets to himself.

Konan is that little nag in my head saying "You should have done that, it would have made life more interesting". He's my adventurous side, the one that never gets out. He's also my rebellious side, wanting to go against what certain authority figures say to do or not to do.

Nim is just that part of me that feels like the third wheel, and doesn't care. The ordinary part of you that isn't really you. Not exactly deep, not exactly simple. He's the understanding, listening part of me, that would be a shoulder to lean on if you needed one.

Tirian is the side of me that's always smiling. Someone makes a bad joke? Smile and laugh. You fall on your ass? Smile and laugh. This part of me only shows when I'm around my good friends, and when I get to have a little time to reflect on things and think about things for a second.

Kirin basically is the tormented part of me. He's a little twisted, but hides it away behind his back and pretends nothing is wrong. He represents the emotional part of me that's been beaten and, basically destroyed on the inside, and beats himself up a lot when he does something wrong. He's not a perfectionist, but he's really hard on himself and gets hurt easily. He's used to being hurt, but when someone close to him indirectly hurts him, he breaks down easy.

Maen is a projection of my best friend. She is always welcome to let you unload your problems on her, even though she has enough of her own. She always takes too many things to handle, and hates snobby people. Easy going and easy to like. Her real name is Megan, but we call each other by our last names anyways. She means a lot to me, but as a close friend.

Cin is a reflexion on all my mistakes- He's so apathetic it's contagious. He could make anyone want to just want to die being around him. He is dishonest, but only to protect whoever he's lying to. He goes off thinking he's just a giant mistake, a wasted corpse that is better off ranting about how worthless he is than going out and proving hes not. This is the side of me that showed almost all of grades 6 7 8, where everyone seemed as though they wanted me off the earth. This character, though the most recent, is by far one of the oldest and most predominant feeling I've had from grade 2 to 8.

3) Nothing notable or worth typing. The same basic idea has been kept for all my characters.

4) Rain can't stand the sound of a pizza cutter rolling on wood.
Konan keeps a stash of completely unused crack in a hole behind his bed.
Tirian and Kirin are both in the story I'm writing (not really weird but whatever)
Tirian is a very Pirate-ish person.
Kirin is almost oblivious to physical pain, besides from things he doesn't expect, and hits to the tender spots.

..And I tag and
