So I’m playing around with a new idea, not too committed to it yet but interested. I want to start brainstorming names mostly for the sake of storyboarding and starting to build it.
Genre of [name_u]Story[/name_u]: Survival [name_u]Drama[/name_u]
Time Period/Location: Modern-[name_u]Day[/name_u] [name_m]Yosemite[/name_m]/Sierras/[name_u]California[/name_u] Coast
Brief Plot: A group of 6 friends decide to go on a camping and rock climbing trip. During the trip, several things go wrong, some by chance and some by poor decision making, leaving the six of them struggling for survival amongst gradually fracturing relationships.
I need names for all six charachters, whose personalities are going to be based on colors, in so much as a Chakras sort of way (the traditional chakra meanings influence their personlities, and therefore their decisions, weaknesses, and histories). I want the names to evoke the colors they represent, but it doesn’t have to be literal. Lasts or middles will probably be the most obvious references.
Character Description: [name_u]Red[/name_u] character, a woman in her mid-twenties, a passionate, aggressive, strong woman. [name_u]Red[/name_u] hair and freckles. Deep desire to be loved and to love.

Anything else?: In a relationship with Purple, but currently on the rocks, racked with insecurities. Feels neglected as Purple often chooses work or friends over spending time with her.
