Paul Askwith, Gabriel Page

I have not been slacking. I wrote up a character on Sunday and Monday, but due to family things I didn't have chance to type them up.

Paul Askwith was hard work. He just did not want to become a fully formed character. So his is more of a character sketch. Gabriel Page, on the other hand, is already pushing me to write his story. So without further ado.

Paul Askwith is 20 years old. He is a student of Sociology in his second year at university. He is not exactly the ideal student; turning up to lectures occasionally and only scraping a pass for every single assignment. This lack of effort is because Paul spends the majority of his time throwing or attending parties in the student halls where he still lives.
He has absolutely no idea what he wants to do with his life, and only took Sociology because his parents expected him to go to uni and it sounded like the easiest course he could actually do. This lack of direction terrifies Paul, which is partly why he won't (or can't) put any effort into his course.

That's it for Paul.

Gabriel Page is a 10-year-old boy who lives at home with his mother, father, brother and two sisters. One sister and the brother are older than Gabriel, and the other sister, Love, is 7 years old.  Gabriel and Love are very close. The elder sister recently revealed she is pregnant which, as she isn't married, makes the house a very tense and hostile place to be. Gabriel often takes Love to a small park across the road from the house to get away from the tension. As well as playing at the park they read together, or read their school reading books to each other.
Gabriel doesn't do very well in any subject at school except for English. He has read all the set books for the year and now his teacher brings in her own books for Gabriel to read. He also finds his own spelling words from the dictionary while the rest of the class learns the set words.
He does have a lot of friends at school, but they all live away in the posh side of town so he never spends any time with them outside of school.
Whenever asked, Gabriel says he wants to be a doctor. But really he wants to be a novelist and has several books and stories hidden under his bed that he has written over the years.
