Tonight’s pic for creativity is a fresh one. Found it today and I wasn’t even looking. The black and white caught my eye. This is one where it’s not necessary the actual people in the pic that sparks the idea but something else entirely.
Since I view any new character ideas through the spectrum of assassin, mercenary, bounty hunter, spy, etc that’s what I did here.
No names yet, since it’s that ‘fresh’ of an idea but what I have so far is a young married couple, married maybe a year. They’re wealthy and like to dress well. Both have their own walk in closet, the size of normal people’s bedrooms.
They’re both assassins and they work jobs together. They’re young which makes them cocky. Especially since they completed a big job that no one else had been able to do. Who’d they kill? Had to be someone important. I’m thinking they work for an organization/group. Which one? This group will be the one who trained them. Maybe they had to succeed in that big job as a condition to being allowed to get married and now the group sends them out together.
They really love each other, so jealously isn’t a factor and they can’t be turned against one another. But they like the high of doing the impossible jobs and that there may be their undoing.
