Thank you for your responses. The thing is, however, that I did take a break of a week or so before creating a new character. It's just that it seems like this is the best I can come up with at this time. Nothing really catches my fancy.
Oh well. I suppose I will just try to muddle through and wait for an inspiration. The thing I have found out is that playing a timid and insecure teenager with tendencies towards melancholy does not seem to inspire all that much interaction (who would have thought?). Maybe I just need to give him time. People do grow and perhaps he does as well. An additional problem is that he just does not respond too well to people, at least not yet.
There are plots and storylines buried down there, but how to bring them forth with such a character does seem to be somewhat of a challenge, compared to the previous one who was a little less socially challenged.
Part of the problem is perhaps that he does not really know anyone. He's like the shy guy in a party who came along his brother who in turn had to leave early. And he has glasses and he wears a silly jumper, smells bad and looks at girls too long. But not at their eyes. And, uh, he has difficulties in recognizing emotions in others, let alone understanding them.
That, and he had a lousy childhood, of course, with an absent but too demanding father, all the while growing in the shadow of his older brother who he both adored and envied bitterly.
So there is material there. I am just not sure how to incorporate all his beauty to the other storylines.
