Munday -mothers
1. Is your character's mother alive, or deceased? If alive, what kind of health / shape is she in? If not, how did she die?
*Max’s mother is deceased. Multiple myeloma.
This is significant because when he’s less than rational about things, he blames his father. His mother rotted from her insides from staying with his father.
She passed when he was a senior in high school.
2. Was she married, or a single parent? A young or older woman when she gave birth to your character? How many children does she have?
*Married. Just Max.
3. What sort of mother was she to your character when they were small? How did the relationship change as your char grew up?
*A loving, protective, happy mother. In stark contrast to the bounce of his father.
4. Was there ever / could there ever be a time when your character and mom were more like friends than parent and child?
*She died when he was young, and she was always mindful to be his mother and not be his friend. Max needed a parent.
5. If your character has children (or plans to), how did their mother's parenting style influence the character's own? (can be positive or negative influence)
*He probably would have not given much thought to passing along his DNA; however he and his fiancé would like to have children. His mother’s parenting style would be relevant to his style.
6. Did mom have any sayings, quirks, or rules that still influence the character's thoughts or behavior? (you'll put your eye out with that crossbow!, don't wear white before labor day, etc.)
*Not so much that he remembers, but when he left home he did take a jar of marbles that was once hers from when she was small.
7. What role (if any) does your character's mother play in his or her story?
*Her muse predates his, so her story and RP interactions shape his character.
8. Does your relationship with your own mother influence how you write your character's relationship with his or her mother? Why or why not?
*No. I rarely write what is mine in story. I borrow from other people’s lives.
