Day 12 Assignment 12: Create Minor Character bios

so today I had to create a few minor character bios. Minor characters are important because they help show who the main character really is, and how he reacts to different things.

One of my minor character bios:

Name: Gregory Webbs

Age: 62

Occupation (in order of employment):
 English teacher, Tutor (during the summer), Doctor, Bouncer, Homeless

Physical Description:
Large build, unkempt looking, unshaven (but doesn't have a beard), beanie cap, faded green sweater, long dirty black coat, dirty boots and ripped dirty jeans. he is thin but not frail, he has dark hazel eyes and has his graying light brown hair is pulled back into a ponytail, but his bands hang down into his face.

History:

• from North Dakota.
• was teaching English and tutoring while he was getting his medical degree.
• continued teaching and would tutor in the summer even after he became a doctor.
• he had a patient die while he was operating on him. The patient reached out and touched his face. He had watched the light slowly fade from the dying man's eyes.
• after that he lost his job as a doctor (they said it was due to stress, and that he had a nervous breakdown).
• Eventually he lost his job as a teacher and tutor.
• He took a job as a bouncer at a bar down town but he also took up drinking as well. After a year or two the drinking had gotten pretty bad and the bar fired him too.
•  Since then he has been homeless off and on. He has stayed down town and is unable to keep a steady job.

Relationship to the main character:
Aaron passes him everyday on the way to work and gives him a sandwich. Gregory helps Aaron out once and a while when he runs into him on the streets.
Their relationship is like a stand offish uncle. He is the one that is almost always at the family reunion but you aren't sure who he is or if you are really related.

Purpose in Scene:

• Shows Aaron's more compassionate side
• Helps reader like him more
• Shows how Aaron really feels about other people

 What does he reveal about the main character:

• that Aaron does care
• He hasn't completely locked his heart away
• He does notice things going on around him
• He's a good person
• Shows what is really in his heart

Day 12 Completed!
