My Character WFM 3/5/07

In todays class we had to create a story in groups of threes. In my group there was myself, Luke and Darren. My character is called "Lano" that is a fictional character. That runs a transport company around the world. Dillon one of the other characters is a spy, that works for a government agent Joseph. There is a huge conspiracy developing and this is what draws the three characters together due to their ocupations.

In todays class we continued developing the type of world our characters would live in.
