Wow. 6-7 characters... I don't think I could do that in one day.

While you're welcome to do it, the assignment is actually only asking for one of them today. You'll have the opportunity to add more later, and as I said, you can do as many as you want, but log your required assignment as completed if you have one of them right now. I did my principle protagonist, who I expect to be the POV character for 70-80 percent of my book.

Also, there were a few points of the profile I left "TBD", since I really haven't decided yet. That's fine; I have the basic character started, and in the bonus assignment I ended up fleshing him out quite a bit (including his name, which originally was "TBD". I went back after doing the bonus in order to add it and a couple other details that the bonus assignment caused me to settle on. That's how this process will work all the way through the month, BTW. It's designed that way.)
