So I went through and compulsively friended all of the Nano journals listed in the 'LJ Users' thread on the Off-topic part of our beloved Nano forums. So incase you're wondering why this crazy number-named journal is friending you, this is why.
And on to the novel planning things.
Anastasia Berger
Full name: Anastasia Catherine Berger
Birthday: 12 May (Taurus)
Age: 20
Occupation: third-year university student, majoring in archaeology, minoring in near eastern studies
Likes: archaeology (obviously), loud music, ice cream
Dislikes: arrogant pretentious people, being threatened, people babbling on and on
Family: Catherine [Gregory] Berger (mother), Anthony Berger (father) Neil Berger (brother)
Miscellanea: Anastasia was born in Russia, during the time when her father was the Canadian ambassador in residence at the Russian embassy. Her mother was a half-Russian doctor who was working with the government on cures for deadly diseases. When she was seven, they moved back to Canada where her father took up a teaching position at the University of Toronto, instructing Russian. Anastasia had a relatively normal childhood, filled with the usual scrapes and bruises and the added bonus of having her mother being a doctor, so she didn't grow up with a fear of needles. Let's flash-forward a dozen or so years to when our heroine is in university. Her best friend is Bradley Adams, a self-proclaimed conspiracy theorist. The previous summer, the both of them were working on a dig as required for a third-year course. The dig in question was excavating the tomb of a rarely-known heretic pharaoh named Iymeru who believed he had found the secret to eternal life.
Alias Julian
Full name: Alias Julian [last name ommited]
Birthday: 30 October (Scorpio)
Age: 25
Occupation: formerly wetworks at 12-22, now field agent
Likes: explosions, causing violence and mayhem
Dislikes: people who don't take things he says at face value, country music
Family: Delphi Bahn (sister)
Miscellanea: Alias Julian is rather hard to describe. Okay, not really. He's arrogant, British, has a child's glee for causing mayhem and usually can be found killing people like it's going out of style. Assassin for hire most of the time, turned field agent for 12-22. He's the one who holds Anastasia's class hostage and then kidnaps her. Drives very fast and doesn't act like he'll die. Anastasia dearly wants to slap him and he wants to get in her pants. Such a wonderful working relationship.
